    Discerning the Will of God | An Interview with Fr. Mark Yavarone

    We all face decisions in our daily lives. Should we leave our jobs or should we stay? Should we marry this person or not? Should we volunteer our time here or not at all?In all of these decisions, big or small, God has a specific plan for our lives. In Jeremiah 29:11, He says, “For I know well the plans I have in mind for you—plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope.”But what are those plans? How do we align ourselves to His will instead of our own? As I heard in a recent homily, “In His will is our flourishing.” But what is God’s will in the many decisions we face?St. Ignatius of Loyola, a mystic, priest, and master spiritual director in the 15th century, developed guidance for how to discern the will of God. His guidance is practical and relevant to us today. In today’s episode, I am joined by Fr. Mark Yavarone, OMV, a spiritual director and cofounder of the Ignatian Discernment Institute with Fr. Tim Gallagher. Fr. Yavarone provides an excellent breakdown on how to discern God’s will using Ignatius’ three modes (ways) of discernment.Tune in if you need some guidance on how to discern a major decision in your life.

    The Transforming Power of Spiritual Motherhood | An Interview with Nicole Rodriguez

    Nicole Rodriguez is a woman who knows who and whose she is. She is confident, humble, comfortable in her own skin, and embodies what it means to be “rooted and grounded” in the love of God. I first heard Nicole speak at an Undone women’s retreat by the John Paul II Healing Center several years ago and have wanted to interview her ever since. She is a wife, mother to three biological children in heaven and several spiritual children on earth. Her story moved me to tears, as she shared how the Lord carried her and her husband through the grief of her miscarriages and used them to bear tremendous fruit in her life and in the life of her spiritual children. She truly is an inspiration, and I know you will be blessed by her story. To connect with Valentina, visit: www.fiatcareercoaching.com

    Intentional Intercession | An Interview with Sherry Weddell

    Do you know that your prayers matter? That the little and big prayers you whisper for a loved one or the stranger across the world are listened to and cherished by God. That Jesus is praying in you, through you and for you, all at the same time? It is a stunning reality that I often forget. I had the privilege of speaking with Sherry Weddell, co-founder and Executive Director of the Catherine of Siena Institute in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Institute leads the Called & Gifted workshop on charisms, Ananias Training on spiritual accompaniment, and Generation of Saints- a parish initiative. Sherry is the author of multiple books and recently released the book, “Intentional Intercession: Praying Boldy with Jesus”. This book is an invitation to pray like Jesus did and shares the Church’s teaching on the power of intercessory prayer. It is practical and the stories Sherry shares in the book are unforgettable! This episode is for you if you would like renewal in your prayer life or if you would like some encouragement to continue persevering in prayer amidst any discouragement.

    For All the Writers & Artists | An Interview With Denise Trull

    Happy Feast Day of St. Joseph the Worker! In honor of this special day, I’m thrilled to share this episode with you. This episode is dedicated to all the writers and artists who could use a little inspiration for their work. I had the pleasure of speaking with one of my favorite writers, Denise Trull, who writes for publications such as “Theology of Home”, SpiritualDirection.com, DappledThings.org, and on her own Substack called, “The Inscapist”. Denise is the writer I aspire to be one day. She has a unique ability to notice details that many of us might miss, and to call them out in a way that makes you pause and simple say, “Wow”. She is humble, kind and just an all-around wonderful person. Can you tell I’m a fan? It was absolutely delightful speaking with her about her writing, her daily inspirations, and her processes. If you have an old manuscript that has been collecting dust or a painting you’ve been wanting to finish, then this episode is for you. Listening to Denise will inspire you to pick it up, and to try again even for a few minutes. We need artists in our lives, and especially ones that points us to the Master Artist. Be sure to subscribe to her Substack (https://substack.com/@theinscapist/posts) for a daily dose of beauty! Also, here is her reflection about Madame Benjamin (https://substack.com/@theinscapist/p-195520185) that we talk about in the episode. To connect with Valentina, visit: fiatcareercoaching.com.

    From U.S. Army to College President | An Interview with Dr. Jeffrey Talley

    Dr. Jeffrey Talley never planned to be the President of Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina. He assumed after spending 34 years in the U.S. Army and Army Reserve he would continue his civilian career in the corporate world leading organizations. However, God had other plans. Listening to Dr. Talley’s story reminded me of the importance of holding our plans loosely and trusting in God’s perfect plan for our lives. Dr. Talley is a Benedictine Oblate and lives out a rule of life seeking God through prayer and work. It was insightful to hear how he strives to bring order out of disorder in his daily work and to point others to Christ. If you have a young person in your life discerning where to go to college or if you would like to hear from someone striving to keep Christ at the center of his life, then this episode is for you.To learn more about Belmont Abbey College visit: https://belmontabbeycollege.edu.

    Padre Pio and You | An Interview with Mary O'Regan

    There are few saints in the world that have had the magnitude of impact as Padre Pio. Born in 1887 in Pietrelcina, Italy he later became a Capuchin friar, priest, stigmatist and mystic. He had the ability to read souls, bilocate and God worked many healings through him. During World War II, many allied pilots even saw him appear in front of their airplanes with arms outstretched, preventing them from bombing the town and monastery where he lived in San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy! Although I’ve always heard these remarkable stories about him and been in awe of his life, it wasn’t until I experienced an answered prayer through his intercession that made me realize how close the saints in heaven really are to us. This reality became even more profound when I read Mary O’Regan’s new book, “Padre Pio and You”, which details his incredible life and ministry. O’Regan is a gifted writer with a remarkable ability to draw readers into the story and feel like they are truly there. I felt like I was watching a movie each time I picked up her book and began to encounter the person of Padre Pio in a personal way. Mary’s own life story is fascinating and in this podcast episode she shares how she first met Padre Pio and the near-death experience she had that completely changed her life. This book is a true masterpiece and great testament to Padre Pio’s life. I highly recommend you pick up a copy if you love learning about the lives of saints and want to learn more about this incredible intercessor in heaven!

    "The Divine Presence," An Interview with Susan Joy Bellavance

    One of the things I enjoy about hosting this podcast is speaking with authors and learning what inspired them to write their books. For example, I was thrilled to learn that a miracle took place that led to author, Susan Joy Bellavance, being able to publish her new children’s book, “This Little Light of Thine”. The best part is the miracle involved a Nebraska priest and led Bishop Conley of the Diocese of Lincoln to endorse the book. (I used to live in Nebraska for many years and have a lot of respect for the bishop and priests there, so it made it extra sweet to read the book.) In “This Little Light of Thine”, readers young and old are drawn in through the beautiful illustrations to the sanctuary lamp, burning brightly in every Catholic Church, all pointing to the true presence. It’s a delightful book to read and has our two-year-old’s stamp of approval. In this episode, Susan shares about the amazing miracle and her desire to start a Eucharistic revolution, reminding everyone of the power of Christ’s presence in every tabernacle.
