In this episode of Charisms for Catholics, host Jill Simons shares her personal experience of trying to record during the busy December season and encourages listeners who may feel behind in their own discernment journeys!

As the podcast enters the second week of its discernment process—and the second week of Advent—Jill dives into the "testing phase" of charism discernment. She explains how to practically test your potential spiritual gifts using everyday activities, and why feedback from these experiences is key to discernment. Listeners are guided on how to recognize whether a charism is meant to be central in this season of their lives and encouraged to set aside less-active gifts to focus on those most relevant right now.

As the episode wraps, Jill teases an exciting new identity resource launching in January and encourages listeners to continue exploring their spiritual gifts and identity with upcoming shows and guest experts!
