What if your body could become a vessel of prayer—an instrument through which you encounter God in every breath, stretch, and step?

In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, Director of Evangelization and SoulCore Regional Ambassador Nicky Verna joins me to explore the power of movement as prayer—how uniting your body and soul can draw you closer to Christ.

Nicky shares her personal story of encountering God through suffering, the inspiration behind her SoulCore ministry, and how we can transform everyday movement into a sacred offering.

You’ll learn how to integrate prayer, rest, and the body’s natural rhythms into your spiritual life, and discover the peace that comes from letting God meet you in motion.

Have you ever wondered how to hold on to faith when life feels dark, lonely, or unfair? Maybe you’ve faced suffering that left you asking, Where is God in this?

The story of Cardinal Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan, a man who chose love and joy in the midst of imprisonment, offers a powerful answer.

In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, Elisabeth Nguyen Thi Thu Hong shares the extraordinary story of her brother, Cardinal Van Thuan—who spent 13 years in a communist prison, nine of them in solitary confinement, yet emerged filled with peace, forgiveness, and hope.

She reveals how his witness to love, prayer, and trust in God transformed his suffering into a source of grace, not just for himself but for countless others.

You’ll hear how his faith sustained him in the darkest hours, what he teaches us about forgiveness and presence, and how we can find God’s light even in our own hidden crosses.

What if some of the burdens you’re carrying were never meant to be yours in the first place?

Do you ever feel weighed down by responsibilities, expectations, or guilt, wondering if this is really the cross God asked you to carry?

You’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep carrying what was never yours.

In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, Grace Abruzzo joins us again to unpack what it really means to “carry your cross” as a Christian.

We talk about how to:

• Discern the difference between the crosses God calls us to and the unnecessary burdens we pick up along the way,
• Let go of false guilt and perfectionism, and
• Embrace the suffering that actually leads to holiness.

You’ll leave with clarity, encouragement, and practical ways to follow Christ with freedom and trust.

If you’re ready to trade overwhelm for openness, join me for Becoming a Living Yes - an 8-week coaching cohort designed to help you find peace and freedom in the everyday. We begin on October 6, 2025.
