About This Conversation
Ed Morse joins Rob Kaczmark to reflect on a life shaped by faith, family, hard work, and a long search for truth. From growing up on a farm in rural Iowa to becoming a law professor and eventually entering the Catholic Church at 47, Ed shares how Protestantism, Calvinism, the early Church Fathers, Catholic intellectual tradition, and the beauty of the liturgy all played a role in his conversion.
The conversation also explores marriage, fatherhood, sacrifice, grace, and the importance of passing faith from one generation to the next. Ed reflects on his work with the Father Flanagan League, the legacy of Boys Town, and why gratitude has become one of the defining themes of his spiritual life.

Flicker & Burn: Jim Wahlberg
SoulCore co-founders Colleen Scariano and Deanne Miller continue their conversation with Rob Kaczmark, exploring Marian devotion, the transforming power of the Rosary, and the inspiration behind a global movement rooted in prayer.
Colleen and Deanne share how pilgrimages, Marian consecration, personal healing, and quiet obedience prepared them to create SoulCore, an apostolate that integrates the Rosary with functional movement. What began with a simple idea and a small group of friends in a basement grew through their willingness to say yes before they felt fully prepared. Together, they explain how SoulCore engages the whole person, body, mind, and soul, through Scripture, silence, surrender, movement, and rest.
They also reflect on the body as a sacred gift, the slow work of God, and the healing that becomes possible when suffering is surrendered to Him. Their story of transforming a place marked by grief into the Marian House studio reveals the heart of SoulCore: God can restore what feels broken, turn mourning into joy, and accomplish more than we imagine through one small, faithful yes.

Flicker & Burn: Sonja Corbitt
Catholic author, Scripture teacher, and “Bible Study Evangelista” Sonja Corbitt joins Rob Kaczmark for a personal conversation about conversion, suffering, core wounds, boundaries, and healing from trauma.
Raised Southern Baptist, Sonja’s love of Scripture eventually led her to question the divisions she witnessed within her denomination. Her search brought her to the Catechism, the Eucharist, and ultimately the Catholic Church, even as her conversion created years of tension within her marriage and family.
Sonja shares how prayer, patience, Our Lady, and St. Joseph helped move her family toward unity. She also explains why loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength provides a practical framework for healing the whole person.
Together, Rob and Sonja explore recurring emotional triggers, forgiveness, healthy boundaries, and the connection between spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Their conversation offers an honest look at how God restores identity and interior freedom through slow, faithful transformation.
