Single, Not Stalled

As Lent comes to an end, what are we to do with all those resolutions and mortifications we've been struggling to live during this season? We talk about how to continue these good habits and what to tweak! Plus don't miss our little side tangent on the beauty of Holy Thursday and the tradition of visiting 7 Churches!

For the situationally single, it can be tempting to think you are not complete until you find that special someone. But the truth is, we need to work at being fulfilled and complete in ourselves with the Lord. Today we talk about inner happiness, relational prayer, and more.

As April begins, we dive into the impact of clutter in our lives. How more material possessions can often mean a more complicated inner life, and why living a little more minimally can help us find God.

This week we're furthering our discussion about the Anti-Social Century and talking about how we can go about creating community and building friendships. Be sure to listen to episode 13 to get an idea of what sparked this conversation, and if you want more on friendship tune into episode 3!

This week we were inspired by a recent article in the Atlantic entitled: The Anti-Social Century. Author Derek Thompson shares some shocking statistics about how Americans are now spending more time alone than ever before and the detrimental effects that has on so many aspects of our lives and culture. This will change the way you look at your everyday interactions with strangers and friends alike - at least it did for us!

If God granted you everything you prayed for this week, what would you now have? What would have changed in the world? What would He have given your family and friends? This week we dive into this question and the importance of praying without ceasing, asking God for what we need even while knowing that He already knows what we need before we utter a word.

As we dive into this season rich with grace, we discuss the meaning behind our prayer, mortification, fasting and almsgiving of this season! And if you're still trying to decide what to give up, we offer some unique suggestions toward the end of the episode that you won't want to miss.

Pick up where Monica and Katie left off last week discussing the Rushing Woman syndrome and how we can find ways to slow down to really focus on the things that matter rather than constantly rushing from one thing to the next.

Hurry, hurry, hurry. Do more. Mutli-task. Always be available. Today we often hear these messages and feel the pressure to always be on. While Rushing Woman Syndrome, according to at least one doctor, is a reality for many of us today - it's not how we're supposed to live. Dive into the topic this week with Katie and Monica!

Happy Valentine's Day! In this episode we talk about navigating this holiday, which can be a difficult time for those situationally single, and how to find the love of our life in God alone. We go deep in this episode, so get ready.
