Holy Chaos on Tap - Encanto: Healing the Family You’ve Been Given
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 109 – Encanto: Healing the Family You’ve Been Given,
Nick unpacks a truth Catholic dads feel deeply: healing doesn’t start by fixing your family, it starts by loving the family you already have. From generational pressure to unspoken expectations, Encanto gives us a surprisingly honest look at how families break… and how they begin to heal.
Nick talks about what it means to carry burdens you didn’t choose, why performance isn’t the same as purpose, and how grace works quietly through ordinary faithfulness, especially in imperfect homes.
Inside this episode:
🏠 Dad Fail Confessional — The kids at the holiday break and the twins are out of control at mass

You don’t need a perfect family to raise saints.
You need grace, humility, and the courage to heal what you’ve been handed.
