Can evangelization really be joyful, lighthearted, and even funny? Jim and Meghan sit down with Scott and Elisabeth Williams, the husband-and-wife team behind Sock Religious, to talk about how they’ve built a Catholic family business rooted in humor, creativity, and bold faith. From socks to t-shirts to stories of saints, their mission is simple: help families live their faith out loud while never taking themselves too seriously.
