We can’t confirm this by personal experience, but our observations - and this particular section of Into the Deep - suggest that becoming a mother is an earth-shattering event.

Announcements by Amanda

incredible.the.podcast@gmail.com (Emily and Amanda Meuer) — Sun, 17 Mar 2019 23:27:00 +0000

Amanda gives you a couple announcements and a reflection on how social media can affect the way in which we relate to beauty.

As she explains, we’re taking a short podcasting break for technical reasons. However, this is great liturgical timing; soak in the silence and spend some extra Lenten time with the Lord, and we’ll be back before you know it!!

Soundtrack of the week: “Hello My Old Heart” - https://youtu.be/rKNwx82kPjY

incredible.the.podcast@gmail.com (Emily and Amanda Meuer) — Mon, 11 Feb 2019 01:32:00 +0000

Today we dive into the unchanging, (often mistaken as “rigid”) morality of Catholicism and the woman’s role in the church, followed by a discussion on the forgiviness Christ offers to all people through his bride.

Why I Am Catholic: Part the Fourth (or: Poof! Souls!)

incredible.the.podcast@gmail.com (Emily and Amanda Meuer) — Mon, 04 Feb 2019 01:31:00 +0000

Confronting Emily’s insidious linguistic errors, the girls jockey for the position of podcast’s top grammarian. Also, Catholicism is good! The film about which Emily talks extensively is the 1986 documentary “Mother Teresa”, directed by Ann and Jeanette Petrie.

Short and Sweet

Instead of talking about God, we let God do the talking.

I'm Dreaming of a Wild Christmas

incredible.the.podcast@gmail.com (Emily and Amanda Meuer) — Mon, 31 Dec 2018 01:27:00 +0000

God: “He’s not a tame lion.” 12-month-plan? No, thank you.

A Good Rap

incredible.the.podcast@gmail.com (Emily and Amanda Meuer) — Wed, 19 Dec 2018 01:26:00 +0000

The girls learn the meaning of the word "meta", the proper pronunciation of "Gaudete" Sunday, and look back on how their Advent has been going so far.

Bigger Isn't Better

incredible.the.podcast@gmail.com (Emily and Amanda Meuer) — Thu, 29 Nov 2018 01:22:00 +0000

Emily and Amanda talk about genuineness, humility, and inevitably their beloved St. Therese. (Warning for young ears: Amanda does refer to what our dad calls an “evil donkey”, but has promised to refrain from such language in the future.)

Welcome to Incredible

incredible.the.podcast@gmail.com (Emily and Amanda Meuer) — Mon, 19 Nov 2018 01:14:00 +0000

Amanda stresses out about being authentic while Emily compares our first podcasting experience to meeting our cousin-in-law for the first time. We reveal that we are indeed not "banter haters" and plan on peppering our "intensely awesome" (Amanda's words, not Emily's) podcast with fun tidbits about life while also doing our best to embrace truth, goodness, and beauty. Stick around until the end to hear an epic, mic-drop-worthy quote by C.S. Lewis and some high quality theme music by our talented siblings.
