Fiat in the Mess

Today on the Mighty Is Her Call Podcast, Annie and Kathryn are very happy to introduce you to their dear friend, Emily Glicksman. Emily comes from a large family and imagined her family would look very similar to her family of origin, but as is often the case, God's plans for her and her family were different. In all the ups and downs of longing and expectation, Emily's faith has been the rock and comfort of her life that has led her to see her family, although smaller than she imagined, as "an embarrassment of riches." 

Scripture References: Psalm 23; 2 Corinthians 12:9 

Prayer of St. Irenaues

It is not thou that shapest God

it is God that shapest thee.

If thou art the work of God

await the hand of the artist

who does all things in due season.

Offer Him thy heart,

soft and tractable,

and keep the form

in which the artist has fashioned thee.

Let thy clay be moist,

lest thou grow hard

and lose the imprint of his fingers.

- St. Irenaeus

Today on the Mighty Is Her Call Podcast, Annie and Kathryn introduce you to Thu-Lan Andrews. Thu-Lan's story begins in Vietnam as an only child in a military family. Her mother's curiosity about the faith led to the family's conversion, and when Thu-Lan was ten, they moved to America. Thu-Lan's rebel spirit led to her fearless acceptance of the vocation of motherhood, even when it meant defying the tradition and the wishes of her family.  Today she shares her story about the joys and surprises of being a mother of ten.

Today on the Mighty Is Her Call Podcast, Annie and Kathryn are excited to introduce you to Dr. Emily Heyne. Emily's story begins with conversion to the Catholic faith where she embraced the Church's teaching on openness to life only to then carry the heavy cross of infertility. Her story is one of beautiful faith, hope, and wisdom, and mirrors many of the heroic matriarchs of Scripture who drew close to the Lord as they waited for the children they longed for. We know her story will bless everyone who listens.

Today on the Mighty Is Her Call Podcast, Jolly and Annie examine Christ's hour of suffering as he faces his scourging, betrayal, and crucifixion. They consider how we can embrace the suffering that inevitably comes, and they share the ways the Lord has redeemed and used the suffering in their motherhood, both the big and the small, to draw them closer to himself.

Today on the Mighty Is Her Call Podcast, Annie and Jolly welcome you back for season two and dive into the story of the Prodigal Son. They will examine each character in the familiar story and consider the many ways the Lord can speak to us about where we may find ourselves in various seasons of motherhood (prodigal, older son or Father). We know the Lord is always calling us home,and in our motherhood we have a special privilege of calling our children home to Him as well. Join us as we reflect on the perfect love of a forgiving Father.

In this episode, Jolly and Annie wrap up season one by discussing how to find joy in connecting with the sacred, Christ-like calling of motherhood. They also recap the reasons we started the podcast and four themes of impact we have experienced and witnessed. Together they explore how sharing in our conversations can be catalysts to increasing understanding and faith in the Mighty One, a God who calls us to himself and then imparts a particular calling to be champions of change through our motherhood. Finally, we touch on some powerful things God is doing in and through the ministry and why walking this high adventure together is a truly amazing gift.

Luke 1:49

Today, Jolly and Annie will discuss moments in motherhood wherein one feels unseen or unheard in the journey of raising children. How do we exercise God-appointed authority as mothers? How do we bring life and not merely demand our own agendas? We will discuss the examples in Sacred Scripture of two kinds of leadership found in the New and the Old Testaments. What is the aim? Are we called to build monuments of perfection? We will discuss the call to lay a foundation in humility, service and charity that allows God to build cathedrals of goodness through our call to family life.

Isaiah 22:19-23 - Old Testament reading on leadership

Matthew 16:18 - New Testament reading on leadership 

Romans 11:33-36 - Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has been his counselor? Or who has given the Lord anything that he may be repaid? For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
