"Discernment" sometimes has a big, scary connotation to it, right? But in reality, discernment is simply prayerful decision-making. Which–hello–we need to be doing within our marriages LITERALLY every day!

Whether it's something big like school or job decisions, or something seemingly small like if you should let your kiddo sleep over at a friend's house, this episode is the perfect place to go when you need a refresher on how to prayerfully make decisions–both big and small–with your spouse.

Julia Eckrich is honored and joy-filled to serve as the director of youth and young adult ministry at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Noblesville and has devoted the last decade to working for the Church. Julia loves to accompany young people who are curious about and hungry for truth in the Catholic faith. She's married to the love of her life, Andrew, and together they love traveling, singing and playing music, teaching their dalmatian tricks, and being foster parents to children in need. When not at work, you can catch Julia having life conversations over a good iced coffee, bargain shopping, or taking road trips with the windows down.
