Catholic Influencers: Are We Helping or Hurting?

I AM BACK! After a brief pause from the podcast after welcoming my 11th baby into the world, I am so excited to be back!In this episode, I’m joined by Cecilia Blackwell, who recently released a powerful Substack series exploring the rise of Catholic influencers — and the complex reactions Catholics have to them.Drawing from an anonymous survey where people candidly shared their experiences, frustrations, hopes, and concerns, we talk honestly about what’s happening in Catholic digital spaces right now.We explore questions like:Is online influence helping or hurting evangelization?Where is the line between witness and self-promotion?Why do so many Catholics feel conflicted — inspired and uneasy at the same time?And how do we pursue visibility without losing humility, charity, and truth?This is not a pile-on or a defense — it’s a conversation rooted in discernment, responsibility, and hope for a more faithful digital Church.HELPFUL LINKS:learn.thepossibilitymom.com/thesurrenderedscheduleCecilia's Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/ceciliablackwell/p/observations-from-a-catholic-influencer-b55Cecilia's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/missionaryofbeautyLisa's Instagram: https://instagram.com/lisacanning
