Today we are joined by Spiritual Director and fellow parishioner, Karen Dill, as she explains to us what spiritual direction is and how it can benefit each of us in our faith lives.
Change is hard. We all know it, and few of us really look forward to it. In this week's episode, we discuss some practical spiritual ways to prepare for change so that it is not so overwhelming. And we probably use this word waaaayyy too much, but the key is being intentional. Deliberate, even. ...
Happy New Year, everyone! Today we tackle the topic of New Year's Resolutions and the issue we all face: sticking to them!!

No matter the ages of our children, parenting is tough. How we prepare our loved ones for life in this new Apostolic Age is crucial to their perseverance in the face of not only differing opinions, but differing "truths." The world, or at least our corner of it, no longer subscribes to Christian ...

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 ...

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.
