Thu Nov 13 2025
What if the Church wasn’t behind the times - but actually ahead of them?In this powerful conversation, chemist, wife, and mom Katelyn Capistrant joins me to unpack what it really means to integrate faith and science - and why rethinking cultural narratives around feminism, career, and birth control might be one of the most forward-thinking moves we can make.We talk about the hidden costs of hormonal contraception, what true respect for women looks like, and how embracing our design isn’t a step backward - it’s a step toward freedom.GUEST BIO:Katelyn Capistrant is a wife, mom to three little ones, full-time chemist, and licensed home baker. She blends science and art in her baking while exploring the integration of faith and science in everyday life. Kate is passionate about helping women marvel at God’s design, understand themselves, and grow in love for both Him and themselves. Her approach emphasizes that faith and scientific understanding are deeply compatible, especially in the context of fertility, marriage, and family life.RESOURCES & LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:NFP with a Contraceptive Mentality?
