Living LIT

Sr Emily (PES) is back with Robyn to chat about Prayer and how you can bring more of it into your day & life with this inspriation and practical tips.

If you're Catholic-you've been asked this question and if you aren't Catholic-you wonder. Dr Chris Burgwald sits with Robyn to discuss just how much of the Bible (Sacred Scripture) really is in the life of a Catholic and the Church.

This week Sister Emily of the Pro Ecclesia Sancta (PES) order is in the studio with Robyn to talk about the life of a Religious Sister. And what's the difference anyway between a nun and a sister? Is there a nun?

You won't want to miss a single word of Fr Scott Traynor giving us easy, practical & mind blowing tips we can use that will transform our time at Mass! Listen to this before you go to Mass next.

Betsy Hoyt is back for part 2 (in the studio) to share her expertise on the gift of fertility education and knowledge for women of all ages (beginning with teens) and also the topic of how an infusion of faith in fitness can make exercising way more effective.

This week we chat with Allie Yaw about all things retreat. What is a retreat, especially a silent retreat? Do people REALLY not talk on a silent retreat? We walk through what takes place on a retreat and who can benefit from sneaking away to spend time with the Lord - alone. The Lord really does speak in the silence! Allie is a retreat and spiritual director with lots of experience with many types of retreats. She will be directing a silent retreat for women at Abbey of the Hills in January 2024. The theme for this retreat is "Wholeness in the Father's Love" and she happens to have a couple spots left! If you feel the Lord tapping you on the shoulder to go, then quickly grab a spot! Allie's website, Bio and Retreat flyer are attached below. We are also attaching the links for the 2 retreat centers in the Catholic Diocese of Sioux Falls and the article we reference in the show.
