In this episode of Refiner’s Fire, Peter Blute sits down with Dr. Greg and Lisa Popcak, founders of CatholicCounselors.com, to explore how young Catholic professionals can live with greater integration, purpose, and peace.
Together, they discuss why faith, work, relationships, marriage, family life, and personal gifts are not separate compartments, but pieces of one life God is patiently bringing together. Drawing from decades of counseling experience, Dr. Greg and Lisa offer practical wisdom on discernment, anxiety, healthy relationships, professional ambition, readiness for marriage, and the courage to take the next faithful step.
This conversation is a reminder that God does not waste any part of who we are. Our gifts, desires, relationships, struggles, and even our mistakes can become part of His “God Positioning System” when we remain rooted in prayer and open to grace.
