Today on the show we have Josefa Gonzalez. Josefa talks about the organization she works for, Philos Project, their mission, and how that mission has made an imprint on her own life. The Philos Project is a Christian nonprofit organization that promotes peace amongst different religious groups in Isreal. 

In this episode, we talk about Isreal, the conflict in Israel, the diversity in Isreal, and how that can mirror our own life. We talk about surrounding ourselves with people of different beliefs, the growth that comes from that, and the importance of coming from a place of empathy and love towards our brothers and sisters of different belief systems. Our world, our lives, and Isreal is so diverse; co-existing and fostering a culture of peace is something that is near and dear to Josefa's heart. We hope this episode sparks some interest in you to do your own research and explore more on this topic.

Have you ever experienced a call from God to do something you weren't ready for..? Well me too, and here's what I've learned from that call, you will not be ready until you start! God calls us to be bold in prayer and courageous in action which is why in this week's episode we talk about the importance of taking that big step out of your comfort zone to start before you're ready. 

If you're in need of a good kick in the butt to get you to finally act on God's call, then this episode is for you!

Do you feel like you don't fit in with your faith? Do you ever feel like you're not Catholic enough for the "super Catholics", but you also don't fit into the "real world"? In this episode, we normalize all the feelings of not fitting in, being isolated, and feeling guilty in sin. We talk about overcoming those feelings of guilt, being a light to those who don't believe, and emphasizing that it's OKAY to be in the world!! Jesus isn't calling us to be perfect, He's calling us as we are!! There's no such thing as TOO Catholic and NOT Catholic enough... It takes everyone to make the body of the church whole, and No matter where you are in your faith journey, Jesus needs YOU!

Rachel grew up Catholic but went through a 'second conversion' after realizing she was feeling unfulfilled and wondering if she had a greater purpose. Rachel's story is full of God winks, answered prayers, and relatable moments. It deeply resonated with me and I'm sure it will with you too.

Taylor gives her testimony on handling rejection in the pursuit of her career and how she entrusted herself with the intercession of St. Joseph. Rejection is tough but we all have to go through it.
