Marriage Family Life and Ministry SERIES

Episode 133:  “SERVICE”
The third  installment of this series is with German & Paula from the St. Mary’s Catholic Church.  They share a story that is not too different from any of us who go through marriage together and finding God along the way.  Listen to their beautiful testimony of their individual journey to the faith to their mutual journey in service to God through his community.  They openly share how blessed they feel being immigrants to their adopted country and how their marriage has not been perfect but through years of service to God and each other they are content to have him continually present in their lives. They credit their conversion to a ministry group at St. Marys called “CRECIMIENTOS” which means growth. 
German and Paula are some of the most genuine and honest people to come on the show.  Listen and learn the miracle of service. If you would like to contact them or would like to find out more about Crecimientos Minsitry, send us an email requesting the info.

Episode 130: Quarantine Vibes!

After 2 years of being virus free, the COVID caught up to us at This Connected and it was not the vacation we wanted.   We paused podcasting to quarantine and focus on our health. 

However, things continued to move around us.  So in this rant episode Tony, and I along with Bethany chatted about our quarantine experience and things that happened while we were gone, like the Roe decision on June 24, 2022. We also talked about YAM updates.  Shoutout to the newest YAM in the diocese which is Lucis Missio from San Secondo d'Asti in Guasti California.  Follow them at lucismissio.org/ and on their intagram account @lucismissio .

And while we were quarantined This Connected was interviewed by Ryan Coleman and independent journalist and an article was written about the podcast in the IEByte which is the Catholic newspaper for the Diocese of San Bernardino.  We were honored and humbled to be a featured article and I guess now called a "ministry for the ears."
**SEND US SOME EARS LIKE MICKEY MOUSE OR WHATEVER AND TONY WILL WEAR THEM.**

Lastly we shared what episodes will be coming up on the show.
