Satan or the Saints
It's almost All Saints Day, y'all! As we approach this holyday of obligation in the Church year, we ask ourselves whose attitudes we are most closely mimicking: Satan's or the holy Saints in Heaven? Every day presents us with a choice. Do we turn away from God, as Satan did, and say "no" to His ...

Your Sin, My Sin
Sin. It's a toughie, especially when we realize that criticizing other people's actions as we perceive them to be sin is exactly what the devil wants us to do! In this week's episode, Kendell and Lori unpack the feelings associated with judging what we don't understand and doing spiritual harm t...
Showing Grace
Today’s episode is all about grace, particularly the grace that we can give to others because we have already received it from the Father.

Nothing Wasted: This Too Shall Pass
Today's episode is about the dry spells and the challenges we face that tempt us to believe God no longer cares about us. This, of course, is false - God always cares for us and loves us, even through the valleys of our days. This episode has met with MANY challenges and even has some weird noise...
God Will Do the Rest
As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of her canonization as a saint in Heaven, we remember the words of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton: “Do what you can, and God will do the rest.”
God will indeed do the rest when we allow Him the space to work. We can only do what we can do. If we are operating in ac...
Surrender
Giving it all up. Offering it up. It's hard. Sometimes it feels practically impossible. Today we explore the topic of surrender and practical ways we might approach it.
We've all had situations in our life that threaten our peace and sense of security. How do we respond to God in those situa...
