Holy Chaos on Tap - Home Alone: God’s Providence in the Panic

This season, "Raising Little Saints with TV Screens", dives into what it means to find God in the shows we watch with our kids. Episode 106 - Home Alone: God’s Providence in the Panic.

Every parent has had that one moment where everything goes wrong at the same time… but at least we’ve never accidentally left a kid at home!

In this episode, we dive into Home Alone and uncover a surprisingly Catholic truth: God’s providence doesn’t disappear when our plans fall apart — it shows up right in the middle of the panic.

We’ll explore how Kevin’s unexpected adventure becomes a lesson in courage, identity, and strangely enough divine protection. And we unpack why the McCallisters’ disaster reveals something all Catholic parents need to hear:

You’re not a bad parent because you’re overwhelmed. You’re a human parent God still guides.

Nick B

My name is Nick and I am a "cradle" Catholic doing my best to raise three little saints! Currently I am a little over 5 years into the project, still learning how to juggle kid messes, bedtime (anytime) meltdowns and finding God's presence in the middle of all the family chaos.

When the day comes to an end, with a pint (or glass) in hand and the chaos has calmed down, I like to pause to really see all the blessings from God.

Through Holy Chaos on Tap, I want to share real stores about my journey in fatherhood, faith and finding the holy in the chaos! Join me as I laugh at my own dad fails, discuss what the Church has to say about family life and raise a glass with my fellow parents who are trying to live their vocations with hope, humor and grace.
