A Hug from Heaven with Lisa Morris

This podcast contains sensitive content, including discussion of suicide.

Lisa went to church on an impulse the morning she signed her divorce papers--she had a full circle moment when Confession was available and she attended about fifteen years after she stopped going.  

Lisa was touched by the unfathomable mercy of God in the confessional and began a healing journey of the soul. Lisa wants you to know this gift is awaiting you, too.

Living For God with Joy Pinto of "At Home with Jim and Joy"

Joy Pinto lives for the "audience of one" every day--she lives for Christ.  

At 48 Joy was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. As she faced her painful illness and mortality, her faith was tested in a way she would never change.

One day Joy was in bed for 17 hours and she asked God when the "fire" would be over. God responded, "When you can dance with me in the fire." Joy got up from bed and slowly danced with Jesus.

This intimacy with Christ and the conviction of her belief has continued to carry Joy and helped her to share her love of God with others.

Joy shares this love through her work with Her Choice Birmingham Women's Center and the At Home with Jim and Joy show on EWTN, as well as personally with her home parish, friends and family.
