In this episode of Trending with Timmerie, Timmerie speaks with Dr. Susan Caldwell, a Catholic OB-GYN who specializes in NaPro Technology – a groundbreaking approach to women’s health that finds and treats the root causes of infertility instead of masking symptoms. Dr. Caldwell shares the story of a woman told she could “never have children without IVF.” After beginning NaPro charting with the Creighton Model System, doctors discovered endometriosis that traditional fertility clinics had overlooked. Through specialized NaPro surgery and hormonal support, that same woman welcomed a healthy baby girl – no IVF required. Dr. Caldwell explains how NaPro-trained surgeons differ from typical OB-GYNs: they don’t just burn away lesions; they remove the full disease, often working with urologists or bowel specialists to restore the body’s natural design. She and Timmerie stress that many women are misdiagnosed or given birth control instead of real answers – and that NaPro offers hope, healing, and authentic care that honors a woman’s fertility rather than shutting it down. For women struggling with infertility, painful cycles, or endometriosis, this conversation offers a faith-based, medically sound alternative that respects both life and health.

In this unforgettable episode of Trending, Timmerie Geagea sits down with Sara Huff, once known as the most influential feminist in Brazil, to share her dramatic and faith-filled journey from radical feminism to freedom in Christ. Sara recounts how, as a young woman from a broken home, she was recruited into a Soviet-trained feminist network. This group targeted vulnerable women and taught them to reject God, family, and femininity itself. She describes being flown to Ukraine for an “activist training camp,” which turned out to be a program of psychological manipulation and anti-Christian indoctrination designed to weaponize pain and resentment against faith-based values. You can listen to the entire hour here! (Some content may not be appropriate for all ages.)  Sara’s story reveals how the feminist movement’s leaders, many of them men hostile to religion and family life, exploited her suffering to advance their ideology. She explains how these movements use emotional wounds – especially among young women – to recruit and radicalize, replacing faith with anger and compassion with control. Yet even after years of living in bitterness and rebellion, Sara experienced God’s mercy through the care of a Catholic man and his family. That encounter led her to rediscover her identity as a beloved daughter of God and to embrace true feminine strength rooted in love, virtue, and motherhood. Now living in the United States, Sara speaks openly about how feminism continues to prey on women’s insecurities while distorting their natural gifts. She challenges you to recognize how media and cultural movements subtly erode trust in faith, marriage, and motherhood. Timmerie and Sara discuss how Christ alone restores the dignity of womanhood and brings healing to the deepest wounds caused by ideology and sin. If you’ve ever wondered what’s behind the messaging of modern feminism – or how God can redeem even the darkest parts of our story – this conversation will move and inspire you. Sara’s transformation is a living witness to the truth that no ideology can outshine the mercy of Christ.

Image via Gilbert Parmonangan / Shutterstock. At Charlie Kirk’s public memorial in Arizona, his widow Erika urged mourners to “mark your soul again and again” through daily choices for Christ, quoting Charlie’s journal about how each decision leaves a mark on the soul. Timmerie guides you through Erika’s faith-filled call to prayer, Scripture, Sunday worship, and perseverance under trial. What happened at the memorial The tribute took place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday, September 21, 2025. You might have seen Erika’s address, which many described as the most moving moment of the day. Her message centered on grace, forgiveness, and a life set apart for God.  The heart of Erika’s message, as Timmerie highlights Timmerie zeroes in on a small, potent line from Charlie’s journal that Erika read aloud: “Every time you make a decision, it puts a mark on your soul.” From that seed, Erika invited people to "choose Christ again and again. Pray again. Read Scripture again. Go to Sunday Mass again. Break from the shackles of sin. She reminded everyone that discipleship is hard, and that Jesus promised the cross, not comfort.  Timmerie then connects Erika’s call to the sacramental life. When good choices bring us close to Christ, we stay grafted to the Vine. When sin stains the soul, Confession restores us. This is classic Catholic spirituality: repeated acts that train love and form the will. And it is for every state of life, not only for public figures like Charlie Kirk. “Mark your soul” in Catholic terms -Prayer each day. Short prayers through the day keep the heart near God. -Scripture each day. The Gospels shape our choices and our speech. -Sunday worship every week. We keep the command – we receive the Lord. -Confession as needed. Grace wipes the stain and strengthens resolve. -Small sacrifices often. Love costs. The cross is our sign. Erika’s counsel matches time-tested Catholic practice. It turns grief into intercession, it turns shock into witness, and it builds a community that helps new believers grow. Here are some practical things you can do this week to practice holiness: -Welcome the seeker next to you at Mass. -Invite one person to pray with you this week. -Make the sign of the cross before meals – in public – with quiet courage. -Choose the good again. Then choose it again tomorrow. The saints made saints. That is how grace spreads – it starts with one small choice that leaves one clear mark on one willing soul.
