{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Raising Catholic Podcast","slug":"raisingcatholic","podcastDescription":"

Raising Catholic is just two Catholic dad's (and best friends) on opposite sides of the country, raising their families and deepening their faith as they study the Bible one book at a time.
Join Josh Vegors (Nashville, TN) and Tim Summers (Reno, NV) every week to talk through their thoughts on scripture, life, and the world.
