They have spoken at women’s events across the country, are regular guests on Catholic radio and have been featured on EWTN. Michele and Emily both contribute to Catholicmom.com and serve on the board of directors of the Columbus Catholic Women’s Conference.

About Our Friend Faustina:

In Our Friend Faustina: Life Lessons in Divine Mercy, Michele and Emily have assembled an extraordinary collection of essays by modern women, all joined by their common friendship with one extraordinary person: St. Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938), the Secretary and Apostle of the Divine Mercy. Sharing tales of ordinary and extraordinary graces with wit and laughter, these faith-filled women explain how St. Faustina has loved them, mentored them, and inspired them to live with mercy toward all. With a foreword by acclaimed author Susan Tassone, this collection will help introduce you to a friend for life (and afterlife!) in extraordinary, ordinary St. Faustina.

Alexandria Marrow is a theology-teacher-turned-SAHM, who now focuses on writing. Most of her work is poetry and short fiction. Like Lindsay, she is a contributing writer for Ever Eden Literary Journal. (Check out our interview in Season One with Ever Eden publisher, Amy O’Connell.)

Her quote was her mother’s favorite line:

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

These words from Henry David Thoreau take us into virtue, truth, goodness, and the struggle against contemporary relativism, and lead us back to the hope we have in the power of beauty.

Listen in and be inspired!

Episode #60: On our journey to heaven, we need to strengthen our spirits so we can do our very best to receive the very best that God wants to give to us. This means choosing to be fully on the side of Jesus, not being lukewarm Christians who mix the ways of the world with the ways of Christ. In this episode, Terry Modica uses scriptures to explain the big difference that happens when we are hot for the Lord, living in the fire of the Holy Spirit, working hard to become the saints that God the Father created us to be.

Sonja Corbitt, The Bible Study Evangelista and creator of the LOVE the Word Bible study method and journal is a Catholic Scripture teacher with a story teller’s gift – a Southern belle with a warrior’s heart and a poet’s pen. A best-selling author, her weekly CatholicTV and radio show and other Bible study resources are bites of spinach that taste like cake - to help you “love and lift all you’ve been given.” Sonja's work resonates deeply with the female heart and she joins me on The Dignity of Women to unpack everything from letting God heal the "father wound" to resolving anxiety and fear in the Word of God.
