God Grabbed my Hand with Lisa DiPietro

God Grabbed my Hand with Lisa DiPietro

Lisa was in a hole she never thought she'd get out of.

Lisa struggled with insecurity since her childhood. As an adopted child, Lisa felt like she was given up. Even though her adoptive parents lavished her in love, Lisa worried that if she wasn't good enough that they might give her up, too.

Lisa turned to drinking. When Lisa hit the depths of the hole she was in, God reached in and helped Lisa climb out. Lisa learned a life-changing lesson through this.

“You have to bring God into your life to heal that hole in your soul.”

Listen to this vulnerable story of how a beautiful woman grew to greater confidence and love as she was touched by the mercy of God.

Proclaiming God's Love in the Rain with Tammi McCarthy of Whispers of Love and Faith

Proclaiming God's Love in the Rain with Tammi McCarthy of Whispers of Love and Faith

As Tammi McCarthy sat at Mass and listened to the Parable of the Prodigal Son, God revealed to her that she was the person in the story she didn’t want to be: the older brother.

God whispered into Tammi's heart:

“You have sat at my banquet table for years and you have dined on my abundance, but you have never invited anyone to dine with you.”

Tammi made a commitment that day to invite others to prayer and relationship with Christ. Yet Tammi didn't know that even when her life became difficult, she would still be called to share the love of Christ with others.

Tammi would learn to "stand in the rain and profess God's faithfulness soaking wet."

Listen to this podcast and be inspired as you hear this story of God as the Way Maker!

God's Love is Waiting for You with Rachel Balducci

God's Love is Waiting for You with Rachel Balducci

Rachel Balducci shares her personal journey with the parable of The Woman at the Well from the Gospel of John.

Jesus waits for us in the ordinariness of our lives and offers us living water of eternal life. When we choose to trust God and drink of this water, God heals, transforms and sets us free.

Rachel reminds us that prayer is not for God to love us more. Prayer is for us to experience the love that is already there waiting for us, just like how Jesus waited for the woman at the well.
