From Abuse to Restoration with Lisa Martinez of Little with Great Love

From Abuse to Restoration with Lisa Martinez of Little with Great Love

Lisa Martinez was incredibly anxious and fearful as a child, but neither Lisa nor her parents understood why.

When Lisa attended her freshman year of college at Franciscan University—a place Lisa and many others refer to as a "field hospital” for souls—Lisa discovered why she had been consumed by such angst and fear.

Lisa experienced flashbacks of sexual abuse as a young child. She finally knew what she had been carrying.

Listen as Lisa takes us on a sensitive journey of the soul, culminating in Christ’s miraculous healing through prayer, contemplation, EMDR therapy, Catholic retreats and more.

If you or someone you love is the victim of abuse, know that healing is possible! Learn more about Lisa at www.littlewithgreatlove.com (http://www.littlewithgreatlove.com). Reach out to get connected to resources at mamasinspirit@gmail.com.

Facing Our Anxiety and Fears in the Silence of Prayer

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.
