Today on the Catholic Morning Show, Fr. Chris Reising helps us reflect on the Sunday readings and the meaning of temptation during Lent. Melissa Overmyer joins to discuss her new book Living the Blessed Life and practical habits for finding joy rooted in God’s love. Plus, Renee Roden delivers her final religion-and-technology report exploring Catholic perspectives on artificial intelligence and evangelization in the digital age.
• Fr. Chris Reising, pastor of All Saints Parish in Des Moines, walks through the Sunday readings — from the Fall in Genesis to Psalm 51 and Christ’s temptation in the desert — showing how Lent calls us to repentance, responsibility for sin, prayer, fasting, and confession.
• Catholic speaker and author Melissa Overmyer shares insights from her new book Living the Blessed Life: Seven Keys to Trusting God and Embracing Joy, published by Ascension Press. She explains how faith, Scripture, and even modern research point to love as the foundation of true happiness.
• In her final Iowa Catholic Radio segment, journalist Renee Roden examines the debate over AI tools in Catholic life, discussing questions about truth, responsibility, human presence, and how technology should serve — not replace — authentic evangelization.
