Be Still
This week I'm reading a Mary Oliver poem that I hope will give you a good frame for prayer and awe in this holy season in which everything is miraculously blooming through no effort of our own.

1. "Praying," by Mary Oliver:
It doesn't have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don't try
to make them elaborate, this isn't
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak. -
My Ministry Garden
This week I'm using an overgrown area of my yard as a metaphor for when faith and ministry life need tending, pruning, and uprooting. I pray it's a blessing for you.

Faith is Not a Room
Happy Easter! This week we're using the metaphor of our life as a house, and where faith fits into that house will inform how we live out our Easter lives.

What if the Resurrection did not happen? How would that change our thoughts and the way we live, culture, or the world? Let's use this as a frame for gratitude for the gifts that Easter does bring us.

Customer Reviews
Thank you
Love this podcast! It meets me right where I’m at ever so grateful
A great find!
This podcast is authentic, simple, and much aligned with what us “fallen-away” Catholics need in this secular world. Starting my new faith journey has lead me here and I know it is because the Holy Spirit intervened. Also the gorgeous music behind each podcast heals my soul. This podcast is now on my favorite lists!
