About This Conversation
Kristen Harris shares the winding path that took her from a loosely religious upbringing and years of spiritual searching into New Age practices, tarot, and eventually the Catholic Church. She reflects on the wounds and questions that shaped her search, the growing emptiness she experienced while practicing tarot, and the dream of the Blessed Mother that prompted her to walk away from it and begin turning back toward Christ.
Kristen also opens up about church hopping, discovering the Eucharist, nearly backing out of becoming Catholic, and finally being confirmed into the Church. Now known online through A Sacred Faith, she shares how her own conversion has become a ministry of helping Catholics and non-Catholics better understand the faith, while learning to trust God, live the Gospel at home, and let her life speak even when the people closest to her are on a different spiritual journey.

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.

Flicker & Burn: Ed Morse
Kristen Harris shares how New Age spirituality, tarot, a dream of the Blessed Mother, and a search for truth ultimately led her into the Catholic Church.
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: Joe Melendrez
Catholic speaker, performer, and music missionary Joe Melendrez joins Rob Kaczmark for a lively conversation about creativity, identity, fatherhood, and following God without losing what makes you unique.
Joe shares how a powerful retreat encounter transformed his faith as a teenager and inspired him to combine hip-hop, dance, storytelling, and Catholic spirituality. From creating the Rosary Rap to performing for thousands of young people around the world, his ministry has been shaped by one conviction: every gift can become a way to glorify God.
He also reflects on rejection, creative resistance, spiritual discipline, and the importance of remaining authentic when others do not understand your calling. Together, Rob and Joe explore how prayer, silence, service, family life, and healthy boundaries with technology can help us stay present and spiritually grounded. Their conversation is an energizing reminder that God can use creativity, courage, and a simple yes to reach people in unexpected ways.
