Vici Mundum

For the first time ever, Fr. Miguel Melendez joins us on the podcast! In this episode, Fr. Miguel, Tina, and Ken discuss how we are called not to shy away from conflict. Often times, it seems easier to avoid any kind of division, frustration and interior or exterior conflict rather than face it. However, Jesus calls us to confront our personal Goliath with Him at our side. This will ultimately lead to greater peace. 

Do you ever enter into a group of people but can’t seem to keep your mind on the conversation? While you are waiting in line, do you pull out your phone to keep your mind busy? Do you lie awake at night, thoughts whirring, unable to fall asleep? Maybe, you lack solitude! In this episode, Tina and Ken discuss how solitude brings peace, true fellowship, and freedom from irritation. 

Have you ever experienced your perfectly planned day derailed? Have you ever been frustrated because your daily task list was interrupted? Join Heber, Tina and Ken for a conversation about abandoning daily to the will of God. From obedience to trust to invitation, we discuss the importance of daily faithfulness amidst our best laid plans. 

This week, Tina and Ken try something new by incorporating Lectio Divina (Divine Reading) into the discussion. They read and reflect on the upcoming Sunday gospel (Luke 17: 11-19) and discuss how Christ wants to heal us, body and soul, and confession is the place where it begins. 

In this episode, Sr. Anna Joseph, O.P. joins Tina and Ken to discuss the wonders of St. Therese of Liseux' simple yet powerful spirituality of the "little way". If you know nothing about St. Therese or know everything, it's a great podcast to listen to. In honor of her Feast Day (Oct 1), we cover the basics and the advanced of her awesome spirituality. 

Ever been in a sour mood? Ever struggled to get out of it? Well, you aren't alone. So did God's Chosen People in the Bible and so do we. In this episode, Tina, Austin and Ken discuss the importance of gratefulness and ways to avoid becoming like Scrooge in how we view our life circumstances. 

Due to some recent growing pains (Ken trying to master the editing technology) we have decided to republish an older episode in honor of Austin Farinholt. It's one of his favorites. Enjoy!

In this episode, Austin, Cristy and Ken chat about sacred art, sacramentals and other holy reminders for us on our journey to faith. Be inspired to sanctify your environment with daily reminders of holiness!

Tina, Austin and Ken get wonky about wonky times. Oh, and Austin is leaving. You should listen.

Austin shares how important it is to stay in your cell while praying... no matter what happens!
