This week in the Coffee House, Sarah and Maura share some of their struggles in finding balance in managing their time. Barista Joe gives us some insight on gifts for men, Maura shares all the fun she had at her birthday party, and we find out how much of a morning person Sarah is NOT. 

Espresso Shot: "It is a ruse of the devil, by which he deceives good people, to induce them to do more than they are able, so that they end up not being able to do anything. The spirit of God urges one gently to do the good that can be done reasonably, so that it may be done perseveringly and for a long time." ~ St Vincent de Paul

Maura and Sarah are reunited this week in the coffee house! They sit down to discuss brownies, Dads, having purpose in life, and mostly: jobs. Knowing when to move forward, how to trust in the Lord when it's time, trying to challenge yourself in your work, and other various tips and ideas are all involved. 

Sarah is out this week, so Maura invites her in-real-life friend Joe to come hang out at the coffee house!

Behind the coffee house scenes, Joe is the one who offers Maura a quiet space for recording the podcast and kindly refills her tea as needed. He's a great barista and friend, and in this episode he gets a chance to join in the conversation! He and Maura have a light-hearted chat about family and how they like to spend time with their own families. 

Espresso Shot: "If you want to change the world, go home and love your family." ~Mother Theresa

Espresso Shot: “And of what should we be afraid? Our captain on this battlefield is Christ Jesus. We have discovered what we have to do. Christ has bound our enemies for us and weakened them that they cannot overcome us unless we so choose to let them. So we must fight courageously and mark ourselves with the sign of the most Holy Cross.” ~ St Catherine of Siena

Maura is out this week, so Sarah invites her good friend and fellow coffee and wine enthusiast Tyler to hang out in the coffee house! Find out how Tyler and Sarah know each other, why Sarah is afraid to hang a Rosary in her car, and the small ways Tyler shares the joy and love of Christ to people he encounters. 

Espresso Shot: “God desires the salvation of man, He desires that humanity find that fulfillment to which He Himself has destined it, and Christ has the right to say that His yoke is easy and His burden, in the end, light.”  ~ John Paul II, Crossing the Threshold of Hope.

We've all experienced moments when God has called us to trust in Him, but sometimes it's easier said than done! Maura and Sarah talk this week about times where they've had to put their trust in the Lord, and how they encounter obstacles that come up.

Espresso Shot: "Those whose hearts are enlarged by confidence in God run swiftly on the path of perfection. They not only run, they fly; because having placed all their hope in the Lord, they are no longer weak as they once were. They become strong with the strength of God, which is given to all who put their trust in Him." ~ St. Alphonsus Liguori
