Abby Davis received a call. Within thirty minutes of hanging up the phone, there was a social worker on her front porch holding a baby girl.

Abby and her husband would care for this little girl for many months to follow, not knowing if they would adopt her or just care for her for a little while.

Abby’s heart was filled with love for this precious child, yet was also breaking at the possibility of being separated from her.

Abby would rock the baby and pray:

“Whether you stay or whether you go, let it be for Christ.“

This little girl, as well as two boys, are now the adopted children of Abby and her husband Cameron.

Listen to this mini-retreat in a podcast and imagine how your life can be more fully for Christ, too.

My Mission of Love with Becca Bumm

And then God sent Becca on a mission of love.

Hear how Becca re-entered her life after the retreat with only one thing having changed: her very self.

Be inspired by how this holy change in Becca helped transform those around her in God’s love. Learn how God wants to do this for you, too!

Love is Everything with Immaculée Ilibagiza

Immaculée Ilibagiza followed her father’s instructions and ran to her neighbor’s house to hide at the start of the Rwandan genocide. She spent the next three months huddled in a tiny bathroom with seven other women, while extremist members of another tribe tried to find and kill them.

It was in this bathroom that Immaculée gave her heart to God and began to pray in a way she never had before—as she recited the words of the Rosary, peace veiled and healed her from the anger and fear that otherwise consumed her.

When Immaculée finally left the bathroom at the end of the genocide, she learned that her parents, grandparents, siblings, 950 schoolmates and so many more had been murdered.

While Immaculée cried out for her loved ones, she sensed God holding her tight and telling her that her journey on Earth was not over. While her family was in heaven, she still had a mission.

Since that moment thirty years ago, Immaculée continues to wake up every day and ask the same question that echoed in her heart so long ago: How much can you love with what God has given you?

In this Easter podcast, learn that love is everything.

Facing Our Anxiety and Fears in the Silence of Prayer

Chaplain Father Jon Meyer and Host Lindy Wynne explore how silent prayer can be intimidating, especially when facing one's greatest anxieties, fear or shame.

Listeners are encouraged to enter the sacred silence of prayer with the One who knows and loves us best, God. This includes bringing experiences that have been kept hidden for many years.

Father Jon reminds us that silent and personal prayer is where intimacy and vulnerability grow with God. There is nothing the Lord doesn't already know or can't handle.
