    • S17 E7 - Staying Grounded When Storms Come

      S17 E7 - Staying Grounded When Storms Come
      Oct 27 2025

      In this episode, we talk about what it means to weather the storms of life well. Everyone experiences difficult moments throughout their lives and these storms come in all shapes and sizes. In each one, we have the opportunity to respond from a place of truth and peace instead of fear. We share practical ways we've learned to weather the storms in our own lives, from simplifying life to immersing ourselves in Scripture. We also explore how pain, though difficult, can lead us into deeper healing and communion with God. No matter what you're facing, you are not alone—He is near, and so are we.

    • S17 E6 - Return to the Heart with Dr. Shane Owens

      S17 E6 - Return to the Heart with Dr. Shane Owens
      Oct 20 2025

      In this episode, Dr. Shane Owens, a scholar of St. Augustine, joins us to discuss the power of memory. Together, we explore how memory is a place to where we withdraw to understand our identity, shape our whole self, and begin to see God working in our lives. Memory exists for the purpose of hope and we not only talk about how the Scriptures and Eucharist bear the memories of the Church, but also how our sorrowful memories can become sources of hope.

      Discussion Questions:

      • How can you hone your spiritual palate to be present to the good that God is doing in your life?
      • When have you experienced the living power of memories?

      Quote to Ponder:

      "The heart is the dwelling-place where I am, where I live; according to the Semitic or Biblical expression, the heart is the place "to which I withdraw." The heart is our hidden center, beyond the grasp of our reason and of others; only the Spirit of God can fathom the human heart and know it fully. The heart is the place of decision, deeper than our psychic drives. It is the place of truth, where we choose life or death. It is the place of encounter, because as image of God we live in relation: it is the place of covenant." (CCC 2563)

      Scripture for Lectio:

      "But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart." (Luke 2:19)

    • S17 E5 - The Ministry of Presence

      S17 E5 - The Ministry of Presence
      Oct 13 2025
      In this episode, we talk about what it means to bring God's Presence into our relationships with others. Through His life, Jesus shows us how to live at the pace of the Holy Spirit and create space for authentic connection. We explore how easy it is to overlook the significance of ordinary moments and how, through slowing the pace of our lives, we have powerful opportunities to love, listen, and become more attuned to those around us. We also discuss the importance of healthy boundaries, the freedom that comes from not needing to fix others, and how it's God's love that shapes how we show up for the people in our lives. Heather's One Thing - This Wild at Heart Podcast series with Jon Tyson (Part 1) (Part 2) Sister Miriam's One Thing - The Lila Rose Show with Msgr Rossetti Michelle's One Thing - Raise a Hallelujah by Bethel Music, Jonathan Helser, and Melissa Helser Journal Questions: How can I show up for people in my life in this season?How do I need others to show up for me?In what ways do I lose myself when entering into the suffering of others?Do I need to create a boundary in any of my relationships? Discussion Questions: What margin do you need to create for yourself so you can be more present?What is your biggest obstacle to being present to your loved ones?How can you prioritize being present to Christ and what He's doing in you?What would it look like for you to give from a place of security? Quote to Ponder: "More and more, the desire grows in me simply to walk around, greet people, enter their homes, sit on their doorsteps, play ball, throw water, and be known as someone who wants to live with them. It is a privilege to have the time to practice this simple ministry of presence. Still, it is not as simple as it seems. My own desire to be useful, to do something significant, or to be part of some impressive project is so strong that soon my time is taken up by meetings, conferences, study groups, and workshops that prevent me from walking the streets. It is difficult not to have plans, not to organize people around an urgent cause, and not to feel that you are working directly for social progress. But I wonder more and more if the first thing shouldn't be to know people by name, to eat and drink with them, to listen to their stories and tell your own, and to let them know with words, handshakes, and hugs that you do not simply like them, but truly love them." (Henri Nouwen, Gracias: A Latin American Journal) Scripture for Lectio: "O Lord, thou hast searched me and known me!"
