On this episode, Ashley and Madeline discuss what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

A personal relationship is the foundation of our lives on Earth. Through relationship, we learn how to love, remain faithful, and walk in confidence towards the journey to Heaven.

Relationships require hard conversations, love, forgiveness, and conversation. When we open our hearts towards relationship with Our Lord, the journey to Heaven becomes attainable.

In this first episode and introduction to the Called Back project, we begin with the cry that started it all—the voice of Our Lady of La Salette, who appeared weeping not in judgment, but in mercy. Her tears were a mother’s longing for her children to return to God.
