What if your path to sainthood isn’t found in perfect routines, but in the middle of dishes, distractions, and your very real, very messy life?  

In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, I’m joined by Catholic revert, wife, and mom of nine, Kristen Dean, host of the Choppin' Wood podcast, as she shares her powerful reversion story from a lukewarm, party-girl faith to a life set on fire for Christ.  

After a true “come to Jesus” moment, Kristen began pursuing her faith with intensity only to find herself wrestling with perfectionism, burnout, and the pressure to “do it all right.” 

Together, we unpack what it looks like to live out your Catholic faith in the domestic church, embrace your state in life, and encounter Christ in the hidden, ordinary moments of your day. 

In this episode, we talk about: 

•  How to pray without the pressure of a “perfect routine”  
•  Turning your inner dialogue into constant conversation with God  
•  Living the Little Way in modern motherhood  
•  The role of the saints as real, present companions  
•  Finding God in desolation, distraction, and daily chaos
