Ellen Mongan interviews Brooke Joiner, co-founder and CEO of Catholic Owned, a way to network with and support Catholic businesses.


I am proud in the humblest way to be a Catholic. As a Catholic, I want to support other Catholics in their walk with God and love to network with other Catholics. I want to help Catholic businesses and purchase products from those who are Catholic. After all, we share in the “one, true, holy, and apostolic faith,” a love for Jesus, and a belief in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. We are brothers and sisters joined together by the blood of Jesus. Jesus loves us and calls us to love one another. This is a witness to the world. 

Do You Want to Support Those Who Support the Church?

Maybe you feel the same and want to support those who support our Church. You want to network with believers, knowing that your money will build the Church and not just fill someone’s treasure chest. Or maybe you own a business, representing your faith in action. You want your time, talent, and treasure to witness to others through a Catholic owned business. You want to meet others who stand for our Catholic faith in their business. 

If this strikes a chord, this article is for you. Meet Brooke Joiner, co-founder and CEO of Catholic Owned. She is a Catholic woman who designed an app to accomplish that purpose: Catholic business and people of all walks of life supporting and networking with each other. Her company, Catholic Owned, was begun.

Watch my Interview with Brooke Joiner

Brooke Joiner is a young woman who had a big dream. Through prayer and effort, she is watching that dream be fulfilled. She had to get out of the boat when Jesus called her by name. Brooke had to discover what Jesus was calling her to do before she could do it. She is now sharing that vision with us. 

 

Then, prayerfully discover what God is calling you to do. God has a purpose for each of us. The role in the Body of Christ that He has chosen for you will fit your gifts, talents, desires, and personality. It may not be a business of your own. It may be something that you have never considered doing before.

This interview will encourage you to accept the gift of yourself and unwrap it. Discover what God is calling you to do and then do it!  Will you get out of the boat and follow Him if He calls you by name? I promise you will not sink if you keep your eyes on Jesus.
