Persistence in Prayer with Kylie Hein

Send us Fan Mail

When you break a promise, let someone down, or fall short of your own expectations, it’s easy for “I failed” to become “I am a failure.”

Today, we’ll explore how to recognize those shame-filled thought patterns, replace helpless words with truth, and invite God into the places where we feel like we’ve messed up. 

If you’ve been carrying disappointment in yourself, this is an invitation to stop spiraling, receive God’s mercy, and remember: failure is an event, not a person. 

God meets us in our brokenness and invites us to show up again.

What if the answer to feeling overwhelmed in prayer isn’t to try harder, but to slow down and simply receive? 

In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, Dr. Carly York shares how sacred music, Gregorian chant, and sung prayer can quiet the noise of everyday life and help us become more receptive to God’s voice. 

We explore the history of Gregorian chant, how music can help us enter into prayer even when our minds feel scattered, and simple ways to incorporate sacred music into everyday moments. 

If you’ve been feeling anxious, distracted, or spiritually overwhelmed, this conversation is an invitation to pause, listen, and let God meet you in the stillness.

What if rest isn’t something you earn after getting everything done, but the place from which your work, prayer, and life are meant to flow? 

In this episode, Anna Saucier explores the difference between operating from a productivity-driven mindset and living from a place of rest, peace, and trust in God.

You’ll discover how to make space for stillness, discern which “good” things God is actually asking of you, recognize distractions, and reflect on the fruit of your choices. 

Anna also shares practical ways to create more space in your life and become more specific in asking God for what you need.

The spiritual battle isn’t always dramatic. More often, it happens through the small choices we make every day.

In this episode, Doug Barry explains how seemingly insignificant compromises—neglecting prayer, losing discipline, or simply letting our guard down—can gradually pull us away from God. 

Drawing from his experience and his book First Line of Defense, Doug challenges us to stay spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically battle-ready.

You’ll learn why vigilance doesn’t mean living in fear, how our interior spiritual battles affect our lives and relationships, and how daily discipline can prepare us to hear God’s voice and respond when He calls.

What if the struggles you’re facing aren’t just spiritual—or just physical? 

In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, Cristy Murray, a board-certified family nurse practitioner and founder of Blue Veil Wellness, returns for a conversation about the powerful connection between our physical health and spiritual lives.

Have you ever told yourself, "God has a plan," while still feeling hurt, stuck, or unable to move forward?

In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, grief coach and Positive Doing founder Johanna Stamps joins me to talk about the grief and loss we often don't even realize we're carrying—and why simply knowing the right Christian answers doesn't always help us process what's happening in our hearts.

Grief isn't limited to the death of someone we love. It can come with the loss of a relationship, a career, a dream, a season of life, or something we thought our life would look like. Johanna shares why unprocessed grief can leave our thoughts spinning, why rest and silence are essential for processing loss, and what it means to tell ourselves the whole truth about what we've experienced.

We also talk about something Christians can be especially prone to: using true statements like "God has a plan" to rush ourselves past the very real pain underneath. Instead, Johanna invites us to become curious about what we're carrying and create space to ask God honest questions—even when the answers don't come right away.

If you've ever wondered why you still feel stuck after a loss, felt guilty for struggling when you know God is good, or simply haven't known what to do with the things that hurt, this conversation will give you a different way to approach grief—with honesty, curiosity, and God.

Have you ever wondered why the moment you try to pray, grow in holiness, or become the woman God is calling you to be, everything suddenly feels harder?

In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, I'm joined by spiritual director, author, and retreat leader Colleen Orchanian to explore what spiritual warfare really is—and why it often looks much more ordinary than we expect.

Together, we discuss how the enemy subtly attacks our identity, our relationship with God, and our relationships with others through lies, fear, shame, discouragement, and confusion. We also share practical ways to discern God's voice, recognize spiritual attacks, and respond with peace instead of panic.

If you've ever struggled with overthinking, self-condemnation, feeling like you're never enough, or wondering whether the thoughts in your mind are leading you toward God or away from Him, this conversation will give you practical tools rooted in the Catholic faith to help you fight the spiritual battle with confidence.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What spiritual warfare actually is (and what it isn't)
• How to recognize common spiritual attacks in everyday life
• The three core image distortions the enemy uses to keep us stuck
• How to discern whether a thought comes from God, yourself, or the enemy
• Why shame, fear, and confusion are often signs of spiritual attack
• Practical ways to respond when you recognize you're under attack
• Spiritual practices that strengthen you before the next battle comes
