We welcome a new voice to The Water Jar podcast. Sue Smith joins Lisa Schmidt on Episode 10 to discuss our response in the face of a troubled Church.
Podcast 10 guest Sue Smith with her husband Patrick and their seven children
Sue is wife to Patrick, mom to seven (their oldest son Nick is a seminarian for Diocese of Des Moines), and all are parishioners at St. Augustin in Des Moines. Sue and Lisa share a bit of their hearts regarding the abuse scandal in the Catholic Church which has caused much pain, anger, sadness, and frustration here and across the globe. It’s left many of us pondering: What ought our response be in the face of a troubled Church? Together, Lisa and Sue explore.
