## Resource

Catholic author and commentator Noelle Mering joins Fr. Mark Mary, MFVA, on Power & Witness to explore the renewal of faith and culture through truth, beauty, and authentic Christian witness. In this heartfelt and intellectually rich conversation, Noelle shares her journey of conversion and formation—from her California roots to studying philosophy and co-founding Theology of Home. She and Fr. Mark Mary discuss the modern crisis of identity, the call to live beautifully amid confusion, and how family life, faith, and friendship can rebuild a culture of grace.
