    S16 E15 - Life Transitions with Chris Benzinger (Part 1)
    May 12 2025
    In this episode, Chris Benzinger joins us to discuss navigating big and small life transitions. We have all probably found ourselves on the other end of a transition feeling unfulfilled or confused. Chris takes us through a reflection of Joshua leading the Israelites across the Jordan and relates it to change in our lives. We talk about why it can be difficult to move on from blessings of the past and how remembering with gratitude is the first step in walking through transitions. We also discuss the practice of taking memorial stones with us to remember the Lord’s blessings, giving thanks in all circumstances, and growing a lens of gratitude. Join us for part two next week! Heather’s One Thing - Festival of Praise at Franciscan University Sister Miriam’s One Thing - Sacramental transitions Michelle’s One Thing - Chris! Chris’ One Thing - Michelle :) Journal Questions: What transitions am I currently going through?How have I experienced transition in the past?What do I need to remember with gratitude?What truth is the Lord speaking to me in my current circumstances? Discussion Questions: What are you most grateful for in your recent transitions in life?What did the Father show you about His character in the previous season?What are the greatest fears you experience when facing transition?How will you allow space in your heart as you experience changes in your season of life?How can you embrace both the grief of what has ended and the joy of the new adventure in your transition? Quote to Ponder: “And the Lord said to Joshua, “Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony to come up out of the Jordan.” Joshua therefore commanded the priests, “Come up out of the Jordan.” And when the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord came up from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up on dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks, as before.” (Josua 4:15-18) Scripture for Lectio: “Rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) Sponsor - Our Holy Home: We’re so grateful to partner this season with Our Holy Home — a Catholic brand that’s on a mission to fill homes with beauty, subtle reminders of faith, and a deep sense of peace in the everyday.

  • S16 E14 - A Father’s Legacy - Pope Francis

    S16 E14 - A Father’s Legacy - Pope Francis
    May 5 2025
    In this episode, we reflect on the legacy of Pope Francis. We talk about how, during his Pontificate, Pope Francis emphasized joy and, through his example, helped us remember to embody this joy in our daily lives to bring others into the Church. We also acknowledge how God has used Pope Francis to speak to us through his writings and discuss which of these writings most profoundly impacted us, how we can pray for our next Pope, and share what we think will be his lasting legacy.

Discussion Questions: How did you receive the news of Pope Francis’ passing?How can we live out Pope Francis’ vision of the Church as a field hospital in our own lives?Which of Pope Francis’ writings left an impactful impression on you?What’s one word you would use to describe Pope Francis’ legacy? Quote to Ponder: "Joy adapts and changes, but it always endures, even as a flicker of life born of our personal certainty that, when everything is said and done, we are infinitely loved." (Pope Francis) Scripture for Lectio: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13) Sponsor - Glory: Women’s Conference: This week’s episode is sponsored by the Glory: Women’s Conference hosted by Steubenville Conferences and our very own Heather Khym!

  • S16 E13 - Jesus and the Jubilee: Epilogue and Preparing for the Triduum

    S16 E13 - Jesus and the Jubilee: Epilogue and Preparing for the Triduum
    Apr 14 2025

    In this episode, we conclude our Lenten book study by focusing on the epilogue and sharing ideas on how to prepare for the Triduum. During Holy Week, our Lord invites us to join Him on His Paschal journey. We reflect on how He takes on our suffering, sin, and brokenness and brings them to the Father so that death may be destroyed forever. We also talk about the importance of remembering how God has transformed our lives, the call to “be not afraid”, and how our Lord is restoring our deepest identities. You are in our prayers dear friends, and we will see you again in the Easter season!

    Announcement:

    We will be taking a two week break for Easter and will see you again on May 5th!

    Journal Questions:

    • Where do I need the Lord to grow my capacity?
    • Where do I still need resurrection?
    • What sorrowful places in my life need a reminder of the Lord’s victory?
    • Where in my life do I despise or push away or idolize my humanity?

    Discussion Questions:

    • How can you embrace a kingdom mindset this Holy Week?
    • What has been your Jubilee story?
    • How do you see your humanity as an obstacle rather than a gift to the world?
    • How does the Lord want to personally and individually restore your humanity?

    Quote to Ponder:

    “There are ways of being crucified that do not involve rough wood and heavy nails, but a love beyond our capacity to love, which means a love that has been given to us by God.” (Catherine Doherty)

    Scripture for Lectio:

    “The next day the great crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, The King of Israel!” Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written: “do not be afraid daughter of Zion; look your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”” (John 12:12-15)

I really find this podcast encouraging. I found it last year the same month my mom died from breast cancer and have found their conversations contemplative and healing. it's been hard getting back into my spiritual routine but this podcast has become a part of my new normal.
