Marian Consecration
What does it mean to be consecrated to Our Lady, and what do we do after that? We’ve been on this restoration journey in preparation for this consecration, so what should we expect during this consecration and the days after that? What happens next doesn’t have to be super unreachable, but in the simpleness of our lives, it’s having Our Lady be part of our days, good or bad. It’s learning…
Building on Rock
Why do we feel a certain way? This would be a great question to ask ourselves once we identify and name what we feel. It’s good to learn what’s ultimately at stake in every emotion, test, or situation we encounter and understand why it’s so important to us. This episode talks about some practical examples and applications of how we can dive deeper into that and use it to grow and build…

So why is he doing this…

It happens every day with many people. But I want to assure you that the Lord did not abandon you. When Christ cried…
Something Greater Than Ourselves
Let’s talk about my dad. So when I was a kid, about a year ago… One of my most formative things was seeing my dad pray on his knees, praying to someone more important than him. As a kid, I saw my dad as the supreme commander of the universe. Seeing him answer to someone even more significant than him, loved by someone even greater than him, was so freeing for me just to be a kid and loved…
