What does it really mean to fix our eyes on Jesus—not just spiritually, but practically—in the middle of real life?

In this episode, I’m joined by Meg Hunter-Kilmer, speaker, evangelist, and author, to talk about her book Eyes Fixed on Jesus and the heart behind it. Together, we explore how developing a real, personal relationship with Jesus begins and grows through time spent in the Word of God.

We talk about the important difference between simply reading Scripture and truly praying with Scripture—allowing God’s Word to speak to us, form us, and meet us exactly where we are. Meg shares how her book intentionally points readers directly to Scripture, helping them become more comfortable opening the Bible and spending time with Jesus there, no matter their season of life or level of experience.

This conversation is an encouragement to anyone who has ever felt intimidated by Scripture, unsure how to pray with it, or distracted in their prayer life. We talk honestly about how Jesus meets us in the midst of ordinary, messy, beautiful life—and how fixing our eyes on Him again and again transforms everything.

Whether you’re new to Scripture or longing to go deeper, this episode is an invitation to slow down, open the Word, and encounter Jesus—who is always waiting to meet us there.

🎧 Listen in and be encouraged to lift your gaze, open the Scriptures, and begin again.

Before you take down the Christmas tree or pack away the lights—pause. The party is just getting started.

In this joyful episode of Living LIT—Living In Truth, Robyn sits down with Catholic children’s book author Katie Warner to talk about celebrating Christmas the Catholic way—as a season, not a single day.

Katie shares the inspiration behind her books Christmas Carols and My True Love Gave to Me, the latter beautifully introducing children to the meaning behind the 12 Days of Christmas. Together, they explore how story, song, and simple traditions can help families slow down, keep the focus on Christ, and enter more deeply into the Church’s rich liturgical rhythm.

This conversation will encourage you to:

Keep Christmas going beyond December 25 (the way it's meant to be savored and celebrated.)

Help children understand the faith through tradition and symbolism

Celebrate Christmastide with joy, intention, and simplicity

Embrace the Church’s calendar as a gift that teaches us how to rejoice well

Because the Catholic Church doesn’t rush the celebration—we super celebrate. And your home, your “little church,” is the perfect place to do it.

In this special Advent replay, Robyn shares one of her favorite conversations from her time co-hosting Ignition with Dr. Chris Burgwald- theologian, OG Catholic podcaster, and now Chancellor of the Diocese of Sioux Falls.

Together they dive into the beauty, history, and meaning of Our Lady of Guadalupe-and highlight the astonishing symbolism and miraculous details woven into Juan Diego's tilma and this Marian Aparition—those little mind-blowing tidbits that make you fall even more in love with Our Lady and God’s creativity. This one will leave you marveling at the faith like a child!

Our Church celebrates the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12.
