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 ...

In this week's episode, Kendell and Lori unpack the feelings associated with judging what we don't understand and doing spiritual harm t...

We all have those lovely people in our lives who test us, right? Rather, maybe we should think of it as them sanctifying us - making us holier by giving us op...

Forgiveness

Forgiveness - often the hardest to give, and even the hardest to receive. What does it mean to forgive someone?  Does it mean we forget? Does it mean we approve of what they did? Not at all.  Forgiveness is simply saying, "You don't owe me anything anymore." Learning to forgive is sometimes a lon...

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...

Waiting on the Lord

In Episode 2 we discuss waiting on the Lord.  From the Psalms to the letters to the early Church, Scripture tells us many times to wait on the Lord, even to wait patiently on Him.  And that is hard to do!  But waiting on the Lord means just that.  Waiting. Pausing. We come to understand that our...

Off and Running

We uploaded our first episode, The Kitchen Sink, yesterday. Then we said a prayer, nervously sent it to family and friends...and waited.  The response has been overwhelming.  Texts started flooding in with not only "congratulations," but with genuine appreciation for the journey we've just begun....

Comin' Clean

Well, we finally did it. Shortly after we uploaded or first episode, the reality sank in. It was at that moment we knew we had to tell our boss. Now, to be fair, we didn't think he would disapprove of our efforts, but we realized we had been remiss in looping him into our plans earlier. During ou...
