Sometimes our motivation in faith is imperfect: we might be chasing a false sense of security or focused on what we can get out of a relationship with God instead of how we can give in our relationship with God.

Jonathan shares his journey in faith--from only doing it to pursue a girl to ultimately making the faith his own and allowing God to infiltrate the way that he lives. Jonathan has an inspiring story filled with signs from the Lord, proving His endearment for each one of us.

An episode focused on what it means to truly love the Lord and enter into a pure relationship with Him.

Am I pleasing God? Have I done enough to love Him?
Through Kathryn's inspirational story, we learn these are the wrong questions to be asking. Instead, we should be capitalizing on the desire for God and learning how to love Him with complete trust. Kathryn shares her deep wounds of scrupulosity, and how St. Therese of Lisieux and St. Faustina have played a guiding hand in learning what Divine Mercy is and how we can know--with clarity--the reciprocal love of the Father.

On retreat a few weeks ago, I did this exercise and it changed and revealed the depths of my prayer and how to grow in relationship with God.  I knew I wanted to share this episode with all of you, so that you too can get beyond base level prayer and learn where God is leading you. This episode not only goes through this exercise with you, but we have an open and honest conversation about prayer in the every-day life. How can we remember God in each moment? What does it look like to pray always? How can I know that I'm praying as I ought? These questions and more are answered in this episode!

How do you love God when you feel like there's nothing left in you? How do you give your all to Him when you have nothing left to give? Sophia and Eve discuss how to pursue faith in the everyday life--even despite illness, doubt, or trial. A balanced faith requires time with God, but also leaving the chapel to live out what God is teaching you within the depths of prayer. Through this conversation, learn to reconcile praying without ceasing while being present to commitments and community, and how to love people within and outside the Church when you find points of contention.

An incredibly open and honest conversation about what leads us to think of others than "less than" and disregard our need for humility. This conversation offers wisdom, but also a look into the humanity of each of us and need for God's Divinity. Finn explains the importance humility and his experience in humbling himself to see Christ in others. We learn about how what we think and say about others actually reveals more about ourselves, and how to combat the temptations of anger, judgement, and gossip.

Our Hearts are Restless Until they rest in Thee, O Lord.

You've had a difficult day at work, school is overwhelming, or there is simply too many things on your plate. What does one do then? We reach for the bag of chips, a comfort movie, or scroll on our phones seeking rest that we will never find within these things. The truth is, there is always time for rest, and TRUE rest at that, but only when we are docile and receptive enough to notice. When we allow our hearts to be encompassed and embraced by the arms of the Father, that is when we will find the safety and comfort that we seek.
