if you knew...

Did you know that Jesus is longing for us to console Him? How is that even possible?

In our last episode of the season, we take a look into the heart of Jesus, and how he makes Himself available to us in every way. Do we accept those graces to love him back?

Let Him do it. (:

Do you live out of your own merits or those of Jesus the Bridegroom? In this episode, we discuss the life of St. Therese of Lisieux and how she relied completely on her Beloved to provide the graces required for each day.

Story of a Soul

Ephesians 1:11-14

When Jesus the Bridegroom writes the story, it may not go exactly as intended, but it always ends up better than you ever could have expected. We see this play out in this episode as we finish the story of Tobit and share from our own personal lives.

What are curveballs in the journey with the Bridegroom and why are they one of His favorite ways of loving His bride?

Join us as we dive into the book of Tobit to uncover the deeper meaning of surrender and surprise in our walk with Jesus the Bridegroom.

Jesus is telling you that He is the one who fulfills all your expectations, needs, and desires... do you believe Him? Can He really satisfy our hearts when the road we follow Him on can be full of suffering and surrender?

John 10:10

Be Satisfied With Me - St. Anthony of Padua

Have you ever wondered what God thinks of you?

In this episode, we share what our faith and relationship with Jesus has taught us about our identity as Woman.

Our scripture used in this episode:

Isaiah 62 - The Vindication and Salvation of Zion

1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
    and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,
until her vindication goes forth as brightness,
    and her salvation as a burning torch.
2 The nations shall see your vindication,
    and all the kings your glory;
and you shall be called by a new name
    which the mouth of the Lord will give.
3 You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
    and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken,
    and your land shall no more be termed Desolate;
but you shall be called My delight is in her,
    and your land Married;
for the Lord delights in you,
    and your land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
    so shall your sons marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
    so shall your God rejoice over you.

Welcome back to if you knew...

Join us-Cathy, Cailee, and our new co-host, Emma-as we kick off season 2 of the podcast! In this first episode, we reflect on the countless ways the Bridegroom has sought to reveal Himself and His desires to us in our daily lives.

Hosea 2:14-20

14“Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
    and bring her into the wilderness,
    and speak tenderly to her.
15 And there I will give her her vineyards,
    and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.
And there she shall answer as in the days of her youth,
    as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.

16 “And in that day, says the Lord, you will call me, ‘My husband,’ and no longer will you call me, ‘My Ba′al.’ 17 For I will remove the names of the Ba′als from her mouth, and they shall be mentioned by name no more. 18 And I will make for you a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the creeping things of the ground; and I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land; and I will make you lie down in safety. 19 And I will betroth you to me for ever; I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love, and in mercy. 20 I will betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know the Lord.

Where is Jesus the Bridegroom within the storm of your anxiety? In the last episode of this season, Cathy and Cailee discuss how moments of worry are really an invitation to deeper intimacy with the Bridegroom.
