I Shouldn't Feel Like This with Jeannie Ewing
I Shouldn't Feel Like This with Jeannie Ewing

“I’m not supposed to feel like this, because I’m Catholic.”

Jeannie Ewing felt inept in her motherhood when she found out she was pregnant with her fifth child--she wondered why God didn’t just take her in her sleep. 

Self-loathing consumed Jeannie as her thoughts intensified. 

Then Jeannie was asked to speak to a group of cloistered nuns.

After the retreat, a couple of the nuns invited Jeannie to go with them to The Shrine of the Holy Innocents.

In this wisdom-packed podcast, hear how God transformed Jeannie's heart as she stood in the shrine.

Open your heart to God's invisible grace--let Him change you, too!

Fully Rely on God with Mary Margaret Lambert
Fully Rely on God with Mary Margaret Lambert

Mary Margaret Lambert vividly remembers chatting with her dad while he painted a ceramic frog the night before she lost him.

The next day Mary Margaret was devastated to learn her father and his wife died in the Nashville flood of 2010.

Little did Mary Margaret realize that the frog her father held in his hands would come to mean so much--F.R.O.G. means "Fully Rely on God." 

Mary Margaret struggled with grief and got tired of hurting. She sought the Lord through writing and help through counseling to heal her broken heart.

The ceramic frog sits on Mary Margaret’s porch to this day, reminding her of her beloved father and our eternal reliance on God.

God Works Outside the Box with Julieanne Bartlett of Passion of Hope
God Works Outside the Box with Julieanne Bartlett of Passion of Hope

“Maybe God doesn’t have anybody for you or God has called you to be single."

These were the types of heartbreaking responses Julieanne Bartlett heard from loved ones when she was struggling with prolonged singleness.

Yet, Julieanne knew God was calling her to the Vocation of marriage and discovered she needed to let God work outside the box for her—nothing was going to go the “perfect way” or “the perfect Catholic way.”

Julieanne chose to put herself out there in spite of her fear of rejection, especially in regards to her weight (she had always struggled with this).  She was willing to face rejection, because Julieanne wanted marriage more than she wanted to protect herself.

Julieanne's greatest hope came true and she met and married her husband at 42. Julieanne continues to experience God's profound healing and hope within her marriage. 

We have to stay open to the way that God may get us to our dreams.
