Thought provoking

It’s nice to listen to a show that is morally sound and is thought-provoking without the doomsday aspect of modern day political news

ThomasCJoseph ,

Do you want to learn, laugh, and change the world ?

Do you want to learn, laugh, and connect with interesting Catholics doing awesome stuff to change the world?

The Crab and the Cross is a wonderful combination of sincere, thoughtful, hilarious (in my opinion, and in an understated way) and practical.

A friend of mine sent me this podcast out of the blue a while ago. I really appreciate MaryRose's carefully picked content, and overall style.

I think this fills an important lane on the Catholic Highway and I'm looking forward to hearing more.

The Crab and Cross not only brings interesting content to help the disciple grow, it also has the potential to build the Body of Christ even stronger through facilitating great Kingdom Connections.

Yes, I’m hearing cool stuff that's helpful to me personally, but also learning about cool people doing awesome things (some of whom I'm thinking I may be able to collaborate with in some capacity someday to further the Great Commision)

I've already been in contact with one of the guests that I've heard on the show, and I think this connection will be fruitful both in my life and those I serve.

Going forward, I am especially interested in finishing the ethical fashion episode, and hearing about smuggling Bibles into China. God Bless anyone reading this. Prayers up!

I love Pope Francis ,

Will never let you down

You can learn a lot from The Crab and the Cross podcast and MaryRose presents varying topics. When I was at a low point in my life, I listened to her episode ,”Does God ever give you more than you handle?” and it raised my spirits more than what some priests attempted to do. Even topics that I have little interest like homeschooling are pretty good as well. If you are cooking while listening, you might burn your eggs because you are too distracted and entertained by the podcast. Keep up the great work. Incredible talent.
