After forty days of intentional prayer, surrender, almsgiving, joy, and trust, we arrive at Easter.

This is not simply the end of Lent. This is resurrection.

In this special Easter Sunday episode of the Butterfly Girl Podcast, Kimberly is joined by Deacon Ted LeMier of the Diocese of Fargo, North Dakota to reflect on what the Resurrection means for us today. Not just historically. Not just theologically. But personally.

To the ones still standing outside their own tomb?

Together, we explore:

• What resurrection looks like in everyday discipleship
• How transformation often feels like stillness before it feels like flight
• Living new life beyond Sunday Mass
• Serving from a place of hope
• Encouragement for those still in their cocoon season

Drawing from Romans 6:4, this episode reminds us that Easter is not only about Christ rising from the dead. It is about us rising too. Rising from fear. Rising from shame. Rising from exhaustion. Rising into purpose.

Palm Sunday moves us quickly from “Hosanna” to the Passion. It confronts us with a difficult truth: praising Jesus is beautiful — but following Him to the Cross requires courage.

In this Holy Week episode of The Butterfly Girl Podcast, Kimberly welcomes Garrett Boyer, Doctor of Clinical Psychology, founder of Benedictus Psychological Services, and Major in the United States Army serving as a behavioral science officer.

Nearly two decades ago, Kimberly and Garrett were both discerning religious vocations. Today, Garrett serves Christ through marriage, fatherhood, psychology, and military leadership. His journey offers powerful insight into identity, surrender, and trusting God when life unfolds differently than planned.

This episode explores:

• The emotional tension of Palm Sunday
• Identity shifts and unexpected vocational paths
• The intersection of Catholic faith and psychology
• Practical, simple spiritual habits for Holy Week

For listeners who feel weary, uncertain, or spiritually dry, this conversation offers grounded hope and practical encouragement.

As you enter Holy Week, consider this invitation:
Do not rush past the Cross. Stay with Jesus.

What does surrender look like when it’s lived, not just talked about?

In this episode, Kimberly sits down with longtime friend Lori Owens to reflect on intentional surrender in the middle of cancer treatment and uncertainty.

Rather than withdrawing, Lori has chosen faith, transparency, and community — creating a Facebook prayer space that now connects people across the country in support and hope.

Together, they explore:

• Staying connected to God during long seasons of illness
• Wrestling honestly with fear and uncertainty
• How suffering can either harden us or soften u
• Choosing trust in small, daily ways
• Building faith-centered community in unexpected places

Lent invites us to surrender — not by giving up, but by placing what we cannot control into God’s hands.

If you are carrying something heavy, this conversation will gently remind you: surrender is not weakness. It is daily trust.

Sometimes it is just one small “yes” at a time.

This Week's Reflection:

What is God inviting me to place in His hands today — not tomorrow, not someday — but today?
