In this episode, Beth sits down with Teresa Donnett — a nurse, wife, mother of ten, grandmother, and woman of deep Catholic faith.

From her beginnings in South Dakota to founding a Catholic high school in Minnesota, Teresa’s life is a testament to service, perseverance, and joy.

She shares her remarkable journey through Delay and Pray, where she’s lost 70 pounds and found spiritual freedom through fasting and prayer.

Together, Beth and Teresa talk about family life, faith in action, finding holiness in the ordinary, and what it means to never be too busy for God’s call.

When tragedy strikes again and again, how do you keep trusting God?

In this deeply moving episode, you’ll meet Dawn — a woman who’s walked through unimaginable grief yet still clings fiercely to faith, prayer, and God’s promise of redemption.

Dawn, a Catholic life and fasting coach, shares her incredible story of loss — the deaths of three of her children. Through her tears and testimony, she reveals what it looks like to keep believing in God’s providence when nothing makes sense.

You’ll hear how her love for Jesus and Mary sustains her through depression, doubt, and healing — and how coaching, fasting, and scripture have helped her move from despair to spiritual renewal.

This episode is a sacred conversation about faith that endures through unimaginable pain — and the hope that resurrection always follows the cross.

Lasting weight loss isn’t about restriction, punishment, or chasing perfection—it’s about peace.

Beth explains how to approach fasting as a holy partnership with God, allowing His grace to reorder your desires and bring lasting balance.

You’ll discover:

• How to stop striving and start cooperating with grace.
• The difference between punishment-based dieting and peaceful fasting.
• Why spiritual fasting brings clarity, discipline, and healing.
• How to build habits that nourish both body and soul.

Beth reminds us that weight loss is not a moral achievement—it’s a byproduct of virtue, prayer, and surrender.

When you invite God into your health journey, peace replaces pressure, and freedom replaces fear.

What if the goals that seem impossible are the very ones God is inviting you to pursue with Him?

This week's episode challenges you to dream beyond your limits and set impossible goals—the kind that make you laugh, doubt, or whisper, “There’s no way I can do that.”

These goals are sacred collaborations between you and God, where He transforms your weakness into strength.

You’ll learn how to:

• Set spiritual and physical goals that rely on grace, not willpower.
• Recognize patterns of emotional eating and turn them into prayer.
• Allow fasting to reveal your habits and heal your heart.
• Grow in patience, perseverance, and surrender through the process.

Remember, it’s not about striving harder—it’s about believing deeper. When you let God into every area of your life, He truly can do the impossible in you.

How can you tell if you're hungry for food or for God? 

In this episode, Beth invites you to “dine in with Jesus” — a life-changing mindset shift that connects your physical hunger with your spiritual growth.

She introduces the Delay and Pray Hunger Scale, a simple but powerful tool to help you discern between physical and emotional hunger so you can learn to fast with purpose, not punishment.

Beth walks you through how to use this scale to find peace with food, deepen your prayer life, and align your body and soul in the process.

If you’ve ever struggled to fast consistently or wondered how to make fasting feel more spiritual than stressful, this episode will give you clarity to begin again—with peace, purpose, and faith.

What does it mean to dress with true beauty and dignity in today’s culture?

In this episode, Beth welcomes Catherine Rose, author of A Return to Beauty: Ancient Catholic Wisdom and Modern Fashion, for a conversation on the virtue of modesty and the unity of body and soul.

Together, they explore how clothing choices are more than personal style—they are a cultural witness.

Catherine shares the history of how fashion has shifted, how women have been “undressed” by modern trends, and why true beauty is tied to dignity, freedom, and evangelization.

Beth and Catherine also connect these ideas to fasting, showing how external disciplines—whether in food or fashion—reflect and strengthen the interior life.

This conversation will encourage you to embrace beauty that glorifies God and reveals your identity as a daughter of the King.

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Beth and Dr. Dan Schneider go even deeper into the realities of spiritual combat—this time focusing on the home, the family, and the spiritual authority God has given us to fight for those we love.

Dr. Dan introduces the concept of the Adamic Temptation to Silence—a spiritual weakness affecting men since the fall of Adam—that continues to wound marriages and families today.

He explains why fasting, prayer, and reclaiming spiritual authority are essential weapons in this battle, especially for fathers and husbands.

Together, Beth and Dr. Dan discuss:

• Practical deliverance prayers for families.
• How fasting reveals hidden vices and helps us break free from spiritual sloth.
• Why authority, order, and the sacraments are key to spiritual protection in the home.
• The power of naming and renouncing sins while inviting the Holy Spirit to fill those empty spaces with grace.

This episode will help you understand spiritual warfare, strengthen your family's spiritual life, learn how fasting intercedes for those you love, and equip you with the tools to fight with faith, courage, and clarity.

What does fasting have to do with spiritual warfare and freedom in Christ?

Today begins a special two-part interview with Dr. Dan Schneider, a man who knows both physical and spiritual combat firsthand.

Dr. Dan Schneider is an Army veteran, theologian, exorcism team member, and author of The Liber Christo Method: A Field for Spiritual Combat and Spiritual Warfare Q and A: For Priests and Laity.

Together, we explore how fasting, prayer, and virtue strengthen us in the battle for holiness.

Dr. Dan shares his powerful journey from military service to exorcism ministry, offering practical wisdom on how the enemy works, why imposing order in prayer and daily life matters, and how spiritual battles often lead to deeper formation, not fear.

Did you know your guardian angel—and the entire host of heaven—wants to help you fast and pray?

St. Michael the Archangel and the Blessed Mother can support you in moments of temptation, guide you toward holiness, and bring peace to your spiritual fasting journey.

Discover practical ways to invite your guardian angel into your daily life, from sending your angel to help loved ones to asking for their guidance in times of temptation or spiritual battle.

I also explore the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas on the hierarchy of angels, the unique role of guardian angels, and why it’s so important to develop a close relationship with them now—before we meet them in eternity.

This episode will inspire you to call on the angels for strength, protection, and peace.
