#013_Rudy Poglitsh, an adventure to Swaziland, Alaska and beyond! 

From Swaziland to Alaska and beyond is a story of adventure, battle and beauty. A story that began with a simple yet profound "Encounter" with God. 

An encounter that is not only open to us...but one that every one of us is called to, invited to and created for! 

"Made to Love" by Christian musician Toby Mac. Listen to Toby Mac's talking at the end, about Jesus meeting us where we are.

#012 "The Sacred Romance"

"You have ravished my heart my sister, my bride, you have ravished my heart with one glance of your eyes" (Song of Songs 4:9)
     God loves romance. He created it. Sunsets, flowers, music, a kiss...all His idea. God is a lover who calls you into eternal love. He pursues you to the ends of the earth seeking an intimacy with you that seems too good to be true. But that is exactly the Church's astounding claim and proposal to the world!

Man and Woman He Created them, a Theology of the Body, John Paul ll

#007 I am excited to be joined by Father Christopher DiTomo who shares his story, "Surprised by God". I am forever grateful for the friendships I have been blessed to have with faithful, joyful priests and religious. Throughout my life, especially in my darkest moments, it was their trust in God's plan and their willingness to say yes that reminded me that God has a plan for all of us!
