Motherhood, Music, and the Domestic Church — with Kathleen LeBlanc
Season 2, Episode 24 | Originally aired on October 19, 2020
About the episode
"Whenever we journey with people to Christ, we're allowing them to unfold and to bloom, and we do that in such a beautiful way as mothers."
Kathleen LeBlanc is a talented singer and worship leader. She and her husband Jesse have a band called Found Together, where they share their gifts of music with listeners and help them encounter Christ through music. Alongside her identity as a musician, Kathleen is also a mother with some wonderful insights on motherhood. Through her own experiences, Kathleen has become convicted in the fact that all women are called to be mothers in some way, regardless of what their vocation is. In this episode, Kathleen and I talk about her charism of music and leading worship, the domestic church, and the universal call for women to be mothers.

Meet Kathleen LeBlanc
Kathleen LeBlanc is a lover of Jesus, devoted wife to Jesse, and proud mother to her their one year old son, Noah. Kathleen is insatiably passionate about seeking Truth and sharing Truth with others. Having studied at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy and Catholic Pacific College, Kathleen went on to serve as pro-life advocate for National Campus Life Network, a youth minister at St. Joseph's Parish in Langley, BC, and McMaster University's campus minister. Engaging in others' journeys life and faith, encouraging them, challenging them, and learning from them is something that gives Kathleen LIFE and spurs her on in her own journey towards Christ. In 2016, Kathleen married her husband Jesse, and together, they form a band called Found Together (formerly known as A Guy and a Girl), leading worship at large and small events across Canada.
In 2017, Kathleen and Jesse lost their first child to miscarriage. This experience rocked them to the core, but thankfully, drew them closer to the suffering Jesus. Since this experience, Kathleen's heart turns towards women who have experienced the loss of miscarriage, so that they know they do not suffer alone.
Since the birth of their son, Noah, Kathleen focuses her time at home, diving into the gifts of motherhood, hospitality, music ministry, and evangelization wherever possible.
