Keaton Douglas joins the Modern Catholic Family podcast

The Road to Hope: The Church’s Response to the Crisis of Addiction

Modern Catholic Family Podcast – Episode published 7/14/26

Addiction is messy, addiction is sometimes bloody, and it’s a place holy people haven’t always gone, until now. Jim and Meghan sit down with Keaton Douglas to explore how the Catholic Church can become a true resource for those struggling with addiction and the families who love them. Drawing from her own story of loss, healing, and an unexpected call to ministry, Keaton shares how her book The Road to Hope and new series Unshackled are helping families find their way back to hope. With honesty and deep faith, she reminds listeners that no one is meant to walk the road to recovery alone. 🙏 Subscribe to Modern Catholic Family for weekly conversations, faith-filled encouragement, and practical tools for living your Catholic vocation—together.
