His Beloved Catholic Podcast

Hey there friends! We are back! After a break for Christmas we are back with our New Year's episode. We talk about our words for this year, what God has taught us this year and what He is doing in our hearts right now.

Join us for the Hosanna Retreat!

Daughter, your King has come! Do you ever just want to sit in the moment of triumph on Palm Sunday as Jesus enters Jerusalem? Can you feel the joy, the excitement, the wonder that the King has arrived in all His glory? We know that heartache is coming, but we can’t miss the beauty of this moment. Join Kendra Bartlett and Megan Copeland, from the His Beloved Catholic Podcast,  Palm Sunday weekend (3/23-3/24) for an overnight retreat, where we will dive into what it means to experience the King in all His glory. This will be an opportunity to draw near to the heart of Jesus, to learn about how He loves you, and how to enter into a deep relationship with Him. It will be a weekend of great talks, worship, adoration, Mass, outside time in the beautiful Texas Hill Country and a ton of fun. Cost is $190 and all meals and lodging will be included. Eagles Wings is a beautiful Catholic retreat center located in Burnet, TX. We will stay in the camp style bunk rooms with full restrooms. All food will be provided by the resident chef on site. Come spend a weekend with us of relaxation and restoration leading into Holy Week. This retreat WILL sell out, we can only accommodate 65 women. Get your tickets quickly at our website www.hisbelovedoftexas.com. All women 18 and over are welcome.

 We are getting so close friends!  This is our last episode in this Advent series, it has flown by!  We pray you have had a deep encounter with our Lord this Advent season!  

   In this episode we seek Jesus as “O Radiant Dawn”.  As the warmth and newness of a sunrise leaves us in awe, the warmth and newness He brings to our hearts will also leave us in awe.  He is so so good!   The waiting of Advent is almost over, do you feel the anticipation building up?  Don’t let the hustle and bustle distract you so much that you miss the sunrise of anticipation swelling up deep within!

Find a quiet place to sit back and encounter the Lord with this short prayer experience with Jesus: The Lion and the Lamb.

“Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion." "Ooh" said Susan. "I'd thought he was a man. Is he-quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion"..."Safe?" said Mr Beaver ..."Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.”     -C.S. Lewis,   The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe 

Our God is mighty and tender.  We’ve been on this journey of discovering this two-fold mystery and today on the podcast we will go even deeper.  We journey through the Old Testament history of the unblemished lamb and Passover for the Israelite people and Jesus’ once and for all fulfillment of that sacrifice.  Then we enter into the mystery of Jesus as the Lion.  What does it look like for Him to be the Lion over our lives AND also how does He desire to partner with us as the Lion? Remember, He’s good!
