    The Postmodern Predicament (and How to Fix It) feat. Bobby Angel

    If you're like me, you've read headlines the last 5 years and thought, "How in the WORLD did we get here?" Rising depression and anxiety, gender confusion en masse, and Marxist ideology on college campuses characterize American culture today.

Bobby Angel, author of The Postmodern Predicament, returns to Called and Caffeinated. We discuss: Rarely-taught ideals of the Medieval Period that can resurrect and restore a God-centered culture Do "cottagecore aesthetic" and women wearing prairie dresses indicate that Gen Z is hungry for a return to tradition?

    Encounter Jesus More Deeply This Advent feat. Heather Khym

    “God didn’t come to be our personal assistant; he came to save us and bring us into communion with him, so that we might have access to his divine life and power and live from the truth that we are children of a good and capable Father.” Are you ready for the best Advent ever?? As a lifelong Catholic, I feel like I've done ALL the Catholic things. Yet I still fear surrendering to God, I still care what other people think too much, I still struggle to get off my phone, and a million other things. Why? Because there are parts of me that haven't met Jesus yet.  I know you'll love Heather Khym's insights from her new book Encountering Emmanuel that will make this your best Advent ever! Achievable hospitality: How doing life together engenders authenticity and vulnerability A peek into Heather’s experience of God speaking and her personal prayer routine The ONLY thing you need to focus on in busy seasons (especially Advent!) Does Jesus truly want to satisfy our desires, or want us to sacrifice them? Making God the Lord of your life, not your personal assistant What is God up to when it feels like he’s giving you the “silent treatment”?

    4 Characteristics of God's "Tone of Voice"

    HANG OUT WITH ME ON YOUTUBE! “God’s voice is a voice that has a horizon, whereas the voice of the evil leads you to a wall- it backs you into a corner.” If God spoke to you, how would his “tone of voice” sound? In a little concise teaching from Pope Francis, here four different hallmarks unique to God’s tone of voice. I love how this teaching both meshed perfectly with the writings of St. Teresa of Avila and St. Faustina, and also expanded and universalized them!  If you've ever mistaken God's voice for the worst voice in your head (or wonder whether you're discerning it correctly,) you'll love this episode!

He was a part of the God's Adventure Awaits Summit back in the Summer of 2020 and I am so excited to have him back on now! Father Timothy shares his priestly discernment story with me and together we talk about the role of desire in discernment. He also goes over the process of discernment, gaining counsel, judging, and executing a decision with peace and in relationship with Christ. We talk about what should be discerned, little every day decisions vs. big decisions. Also discussed is what true peace is and how to know the difference. Join us as we talk about how what God wants for you is to uncover the deepest layers of what you want, so that He can show you what his will is through those desires.   Topics Discussed What is worth discerning? Vocational Discernment and the importance of Come & Sees The Ignatian Spiritual Exercises 30 day silent retreat using meditations on the life of Christ to draw you deeper in to make decisions with Christ. The importance of desire and attraction in discernment Does God really want what we want? Why we need to trust in God's will for us, even if we are experiencing fear in Discernment.

    How to Have a "Colloquy:" An Authentic Conversation with God + What Jesus Said When I Did (His Love is Unreal!)

    JOIN THE FREE SURRENDER NOVENA CHALLENGE HERE!  We start May 30 until June 7! Show Notes Do you feel like it’s hard to be totally real with God? Do you have trouble calming your mind and letting go of your to do list to pray? Do you feel frustrated with yourself and wish you could just be better? Enter the Colloquy, a fancy word for “conversation” in St. Ignatius of Loyola’s formula. It’s a simple formula- literally 3 quick steps- anyone can use to have an authentic connection to the Lord. In the first few minutes I explain how to make a colloquy, then I move onto my own experience of making a colloquy. Jesus’s love is unreal. In reading The Interior Castle I’ve had the good (hard) realization of how far I have to go before I’m ready for sainthood. Honesty is good, but I’ve felt so frustrated with myself lately. Jesus totally changed my heart and my outlook with his response. I hope my testimony gives you hope and encourages you to try making a colloquy Topics Discussed Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises Sharing 3 of My Visions… What It’s Like to Experience Visions  How Does God’s Voice Actually “Sound”? St. Teresa’s Rules for Discerning Whether Voices Come From God, Our Imagination, or the Devil  Thank you so much to everyone who has supported my ministry with the purchase of one of my beeswax candles! See my full collection with the Catholic All Year Marketplace here- my newest candle is called Ex Cathedra, based on St. Peter’s Bascillica. With scents of lily, jasmine & seasalt, it’s perfect as we head into summer! Come on over to my website for more resources for your spiritual life. Need a community?
