In this Say Yes to Holiness 1:1 Conversation podcast, Christina sits down with Crystalina Evert, founder of Women Made New Ministries, co-founder of Chastity Project and author of the recently released book, Women Made New, Reflections on Adversity, Transformation and Healing as well as the upcoming At the Well: Women's Eucharistic Retreat being held at The Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama.

Our conversation focused upon Crystalina and her desire to help women answer the fundamental question, "What is it that is keeping you from becoming the woman God created you to be?"

We also dove deeply into the themes of her powerful book, Women Made New, and how it came to contain the captivating stories of twelve women who overcame personal trials and societal deceptions to become champions for the Kingdom of God.

Throughout our conversation, Crystalina shared the wisdom of how we are never alone, of the necessity of listening to God’s voice, surrendering to His mercy, and trusting that He is there to carry you through and deliver you from evil. as well as practical steps that you can take NOW to enter fully into the National Eucharistic Revival. 

I was inspired, encouraged and brought to tears during our conversation, so if you, too, want to experience healing, be given the courage to push back against Satan's negative "self-talk", reignite your faith life and help encourage others to do the same, then make sure to listen to this conversation TODAY!

In this Say Yes to Holiness podcast 1:1 Conversation, Christina sits down with Keaton Douglas and Lindsey Schlegel to speak about their recently published book, The Road to Hope: Responding to the Crisis of Addiction.

Our conversation focused upon the tragedy of addiction that our society is currently facing, about how we can each respond as members of the Body of Christ, and about how the iThirst initiative can be part of the solution...

The iTHIRST initiative empowers dioceses, parishes and communities to become a resource for both those suffering from addictions and their families. At the heart of iTHIRST is an understanding that there is a spiritual dimension to the disease of addiction that cannot be met by clinical professionals, but only by the spiritual consolation and guidance that the Church can provide.

Through our comprehensive, faith-based approach to education, we want to transform the way the Catholic Church understands addiction. Through the programs below, parishes and communities educate the Catholic community on the nature of substance use disorders, in age-appropriate language, and demonstrate how our Catholic faith can be a powerful tool of prevention.

In addition, we offer formation for laity and clergy to equip them as Certified Spiritual Companions capable of supporting addicted individuals and their families thirsting for relief, thereby helping parishes and dioceses impacted by the scourge of addiction.

The iTHIRST Education programs include: iTHIRST Spiritual Companionship Training; School/ Parish Programs; a Catholic Campus Ministry Program, & a Pastoral Care Guide. 

The conversation that Keaton, Lindsay and I had was profoundly moving, but filled with great hope--just like their book, The Road to Hope. For all of us who are struggling with addiction, or know someone who is, this conversation is one that NEEDS to be listened to today.

In this Say Yes to Holiness podcast 1:1 Conversation, Christina sits down with Terry Poplava of ACS Technologies to speak about the results from the latest survey done concerning American religious beliefs.

The survey was a national research initiative conducted by ACS Technologies, and the results grant us insight into the religious preferences and practices of Amercians that are especially valuable for helping us share the Good News with those around us.

Our conversation also touched upon Terry's own faith journey and how what he has learned through his work has impacted how he lives as a disciple of Christ.

The American Beliefs Study: Religious Preferences and Practicesis groundbreaking research initially conducted in 2013 and then repeated in 2017 and 2021 with over 45,000 participants. This decade-long timespan and significant polling size sample have established The American Beliefs Study as a recognized leader in understanding American religious preferences and practices.

Valuable insights that reveal changing behaviors and social and moral attitudes and trends within communities of faith have been distilled into a series of unique discoveries and conclusions. Long-form articles are the American Belief Reports. And the short-form quotes and highlights for quick use. The full study is also integrated in MissionInsite, providing foundational propriety value to this demographic community intelligence software tool.

A leader in church management software, market expertise, and data analysis for the last 45 years, ACS Technologies conducted this research by examining the theological beliefs of Americans. The goal was to provide church leaders with the wisdom they need to prepare, guide and quicken them to be as effective as they can be in living out the Gospel.
