Welcome to Resilience in the Shadows, the podcast by TentMakers, where we illuminate the powerful journey of individuals overcoming the darkness.

In this episode, we are joined by Craig Waleed, an educator, advocate, and author, who shares his transformative story from a childhood marked by trauma to an 8-year incarceration and, ultimately, redemption. Craig recounts how early life struggles, including sexual abuse, shaped his path to prison, but it was within those prison walls that his journey of healing began. Through self-reflection, education, and mentorship, Craig found his way out of the cycle of violence and discovered his true identity. His powerful narrative reminds us of the resilience of the human spirit, the importance of addressing trauma, and the role of education in changing lives.

Welcome to Resilience in the Shadows, the podcast by TentMakers, where we illuminate the powerful journey of individuals overcoming the darkness.

In this episode, we are joined by Paul and Kris Ciaccia, the passionate voices behind The Angry Catholic Show. Their advocacy began with a painful personal discovery: twice, their sons were placed in direct contact with priests known to have abused children. Outraged by the Church’s failures and the explosive revelations of the McCarrick scandal and the Pennsylvania Grand Jury report, Paul and Kris transformed their anger into action. Through their podcast, they confront the darkest aspects of the Catholic Church, challenging the status quo and amplifying the voices of the silenced.

Join us as we explore Paul and Kris's journey, the challenges they’ve faced as lay Catholics, and their unwavering commitment to healing, justice, and a reformed Church that stands for the innocent.
