The link to "What It Means to Trust in the Lord," my first episode/video as a guest on the wonderful podcast, "Sharing the Faith with Dr. Tom Neal."
Know Your Enemy
Sharing how a recent find in my medical case has a strong spiritual parallel and discussing how the enemy of our souls uses tactics like fear and worry to get us off track. Thankfully, St. Paul gives us a solution that's applicable to everyone, though!
How Mary’s Assumption Brought Me Closer to God
Reflecting on how Mary and the Feast of the Assumption have positively impacted my relationship with God, and sharing how I feel that my birthday being on the Feast of the Assumption was God's way of caring for me in what was to come.
Falling in Love…with God
Sharing how a particular quote spurred a years-long journey of mine to understand what it even means to fall in love with God, and then sharing how I got there, what it looks like in reality, and what changed in my life along the way.
Are You Happy?
Am I happy? I'm answering this question that I received from someone who attended a recent talk I gave, and I'm also sharing about the difference between happiness and joy.
Divine Mercy: Then & Now
On this Divine Mercy Sunday, I'm sharing one of my favorite stories and a powerful parallel between a previous and a current experience surrounding my devotion to Divine Mercy. Happy Divine Mercy Sunday! Jesus, I trust in You!
Love is Sacrifice
Words from St. Thomas Aquinas and C.S. Lewis help us ponder how to love like Jesus in a self-emptying, sacrificial way this Holy Week, and I share a little bit about my journey with "death to self."
The Litany of Humility Challenge: A Lenten Reflection
Sharing my heart's journey with the Litany of Humility (a perfect Lenten challenge) and how Jesus is teaching me more about love and freedom of heart through this prayer. We all struggle with pride, which manifests itself in a multitude of ways, but the virtue of humility is a gift that is the perfect antidote to pride!
A Full-Circle Moment
Sharing a beautiful full-circle moment that came about from a retreat I spoke at recently. God is not limited by circumstances, and it's exciting when we can see Him at work in tangible ways. All glory to God!
Reflecting and Pondering of Heart
How I relate to Mary's reflecting/pondering of heart, and how her example is a beautiful lesson to me to bring me closer to God the Father and Jesus in this new year.
