How effective would a company be where only about 5% of people knew their job description? Not very. And yet this is what we see in the Church right now - many people know they are a part of the Body of Christ but very few have a clear sense of what role they play - if they even realize they play a role at all. Charisms for Catholics helps you identify, value, and invest in where the Holy Spirit is moving in your life and to partner with Him to build the Church by embracing your specific role in the Body of Christ.

    Ep 138 - Are Our Charisms the Same as the Charisms of Religious Orders?

    In this episode of Charisms for Catholics, host Jill Simons explores the intriguing question: Are the charisms that individual Catholics receive from the Holy Spirit the same as those attributed to religious orders? Jill shares her personal experiences and observations from working extensively with individual discernment of charisms, while acknowledging that her expertise with religious orders is more limited. She discusses how different religious communities describe their foundational charisms—such as prayer, hospitality, preaching, and contemplative practice—and reflects on how these might or might not align with the traditional list of spiritual gifts familiar to lay Catholics. Listeners are encouraged to consider the connections between their own spiritual gifts and the charisms of communities or orders they are drawn to! 00:01:18 - Registration announcement for the Charism Coaching Certification Program, including details about prerequisites and what's included in the course. 01:40 - Jill introduces today's big question: Are individual charisms the same as those of religious orders?

    Ep 137 - Charisms in Families

    In this episode of Charisms for Catholics, host Jill Simons dives into the intriguing question: Do families have charisms? Drawing from both experience and observation, Jill explores whether spiritual gifts, or charisms, can be shared among family members and even passed down through generations. She discusses how certain gifts like prophecy, intercession, and knowledge sometimes appear as a "common thread" within families, though this evidence is mainly anecdotal. Jill also unpacks the parallels between family dynamics and the charisms found in religious orders, and offers practical wisdom on how families can discern and nurture individual and collective spiritual gifts. Whether you’re curious about your family's unique spiritual mission or eager to cultivate a more charism-aware household, this episode offers thoughtful insights and invites listeners to join an ongoing conversation about God’s work within the family unit! 1:32 - Wisdom Guide offers details about the Charism Coaching Certification Program, mentioning its requirements and benefits for professional coaches and spiritual directors. 02:36 - Jill explores whether families can share a charism, noting there are often consistencies in charisms through family lines—sometimes among parents and children, or across generations. 04:05 - She gives examples of charisms like prophecy, intercession, and knowledge frequently running in families, suggesting a mix of biological and spiritual influence. 05:19 - Jill discusses whether families carry unique charisms only when together (similar to religious orders) and highlights curiosity about how family dynamics may foster shared grace and mission. 07:34 - She concludes with the idea that while collective discernment of a family charism can be helpful, the core is for each family member to discern their own charisms, and invites listeners to share their experiences or insights.

Jill also introduces resources like the "Start the Adventure: Charisms for Kids" book, offering actionable ways to help teachers identify and foster the gifts in their students.
