The Everyday Saint

This time of year, fresh off of the "Seek" conference, or rejuvenated with goals for 2024, we can easily get lost in our own ideals. Have we asked God what He wants of us? Lydia firmly believes, and gracefully implements retreats and rejuvenation into her daily life, knowing that a retreat doesn't end the moment you walk out of the doors--prayer and lessons must be lived. Join us in discussing how to stick with our daily discipline while remembering God's mercy and care for us!

Shelby comes back on the podcast (because we have so much fun, but also because she is SO wise) to talk about how feelings and healing within are an integral part of faith and not meant to be neglected.

Waking up in the middle of the night, sitting down with someone when you "don't have the time for it", or choosing love over anger--all are self sacrifices on behalf of another. In the little things, we must always remember Who we are serving, rather than dragging our feet when faced with a moment of serving someone. How can you live out Christ's Passion and Resurrection in your daily interactions, moments of ingratitude, and days when you have nothing left within you?

Grace brings her heartwarming stories as a Resident Assistant at Benedictine, where she has learned that serving others is truly serving Christ, and that we are all called to a self sacrificial love. When we think of ourselves less, the Lord can work miracles.

Giving of yourself isn't easy. Nor is it boring, useless, or sorrowful. This episode looks at what it means to seek the Lord for strength, and push past our stubborn heart to see God in each person. We are called for a life that focuses not on ourselves, but gazing upon others as Christ gazes upon us.

Gas light, gate keep, girl boss? We don't know her.

Join Alyssa as we talk about what authentic femininity is and embracing the true roles of male and female that God has created. This doesn't mean women are stuck in a kitchen, living meek and passive lives. Let's lean on St. Joan of Arc's example and cultivate a sense of feminine leadership through remaining in God's grace and purpose.
