Of Sound Mind and Spirit - Podcast for Catholic Women

Summer vacation doesn’t mean you take a break from your faith! No matter where your family travels, you can still find opportunities to connect with and grow in your faith on the road.

Snippet from the Show: “…what we’re doing is considered a pilgrimage. I never thought of just visiting a church as a pilgrimage before.”

 “When you start looking for it… you’ll find something.”

Places Mentioned:

If this topic makes you curious about other pilgrimage sites in the US – we invite you to check out these two books:

“…truly nothing happens by accident or luck, but everything by God’s wise providence.”  St. Juliana Norwich (Revelations of Divine Love, 1393)

We'd love to hear from you!

PS: For a special treat, visit the Kakawa Chocolate Shop (Santa Fe, TX) – yeah, we know it’s not a sacred site but you’ll enjoy this stop!

In this episode, Lisa and Shelly talk about spiritual reading - exploring how books help us grow in knowledge and draw closer to our faith.

Snippet from the Show

"[Spiritual reading] gives me the opportunity for Him to reveal Himself and tell me there’s something He wants me to take away from that moment.”

“That time [reading] was my Be Still and Know God.”

We go to Church to worship God, but on any given Sunday there’s so much that keeps us from giving Jesus our complete attention. In this episode we’ll talk about tips to tune out common distractions and stay focused in church.

Snippet from the Show: “God gave you that voice, let Him hear it back!”

Embolism: "Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope, and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ."

As children raised in the post-Vatican II years, we came away from our childhood faith formation knowing primarily that “God Loves Us.”  

Since then, we’ve learned that growing in faith is a lifelong journey meant to be shared with others.  

In this first episode, we invite you to join us on this journey. We’ll do some reflection on where we’ve been and what we learned along the way.  We’ll also share the story behind choosing the title, “Of Sound Mind and Spirit.”

From this episode: How can we go out and truly love other people if we don’t first know the love of God?”  

We want to know! How do you live your faith in the ordinary of daily life - in the middle of all the hustle and bustle and busyness that envelopes us constantly?

Scripture used in this episode:

Metanoia - (n) the journey of changing one's mind, heart, self, or way of life.

We’re two sisters from Texas who experienced a desire to learn more about our faith. In doing so we’ve discovered just how much faith influences every aspect of our lives.

Maybe you thought that at this point in life you'd have it all figured out, but no - we're still learning and growing.

We get it. Life is Messy. Life is Hard. It’s a struggle trying to be holy in the everyday world, balancing work and family, parenting tweens to young adults, supporting our husbands, and being involved in our church community.

You might be wondering where and how do you grow in faith?  There's so much to learn and so many places to start. While we don’t have all the

As St. Paul wrote, we need to stir into flame the gift of God, our spirit of power and love and of sound mind.

If you're also on a journey seeking Christ, and you have a long way to go, let’s walk together to build a life on a foundation of faith. We invite you to join us each week on the podcast to explore how we're living out our faith in our daily lives. 

One of sound mind and spirit.
