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

🎬 Pop Culture Dive — generational wounds, gifts, and grace in Encanto

📖 Scripture Moment — healing that begins with love, not control

🧉 Barstool Theology — why God works through the family you didn’t design

🙏 A closing prayer for dads trying to lead with patience, mercy, and courage

You don’t need a perfect family to raise saints.

You need grace, humility, and the courage to heal what you’ve been handed.

🍻 Raising kids. Raising glasses. Raising faith.

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.
