Do you read the Word of God every day? Has the bible become that book that collects dust at the bottom of the bookshelf? Have you become indifferent to hearing the same passages in Scripture? If this is you join host Karen Doyle and genius guest Jo Hayes as they unpack the creative power of the Word of God and why it's crucial for us to be in the Word, every. single. day. 

Home. It is an elegant word, it is a place to live in and feel comfortable, but it is much more  than that. Join host Karen Doyle and author Dr Carrie Gress as they unpack Carrie's latest book  Theology of Home. This beautiful book is a  simple guide to help reorient all of us toward our true home, heaven, and it offers us an invitation to think purposefully about how to make our own homes more nurturing, and ultimately how to lead those who enter our home toward heaven.  

It is one of the many ways we expresses our genius as women. 

Have you ever felt lost between saying "I do" and the happily ever after that all the movies promise? Have you ever felt like your husband and you are simply missing one another? Well, you are not alone. What if, instead of seeing the differences as irritations, you saw them as opportunities to grow in holiness and your vocation to love? So often it is not so much the differences that are the problem as it is our perception of those differences. Join host Karen Doyle and Francine Pirola as they unpack these differences and how we can live more fully our genius within the vocation of marriage.

Have you ever been caught in the paralysis by analysis trap? Trying to work out God's perfect will for your life? If this is you, you are not alone. So many women get caught up in what has been described as perpetual discernment. These are the people who  are so scared of making the wrong decision that they don't make any decision at all. The result is a life of regret. We were not created to live lives of regret, we were not created to live in fear, we were not created to hide away we were created to shine. Join host Karen Doyle and  Sr Rosie Drum MGL as they unpack how we can discern the will of God for our lives. 

There is a very intimate link between creativity and vulnerability. Brene Brown famously said; "There is nothing more vulnerable than creativity. . . It's not about winning, it's not about losing, it's about showing up and being seen." In the kingdom of God we are all creatives, so how are you bringing your creativity to life? Join host Karen Doyle and guest Harmony Miller  as they explore the link between creativity and vulnerability in light of harmony's journey through the gift of art.
