    S18 E12 - The Way of Trust and Love: Enduring Trials
    2026/04/06
    Happy Easter! In this episode, we conclude our Lenten book study on "The Way of Trust and Love" and focus on Chapter 6: Enduring Trials. We talk about how even in the light of Easter, we may still experience suffering and how we can choose to rejoice in God's goodness when His ways remain hidden. We also reflect on why trials are not signs of God's absence, how we learn to recognize God at work in the present moment, and how to embrace suffering as a necessary path to share in the fullness of Easter. Friends, in this Easter octave, we invite you to reflect on how God has transformed your heart this past Lent. Let us enter into this Easter season with renewed hope, gratitude, and a deeper surrender to God's unfailing love. We will see you in two weeks! Heather's One Thing - Fire 50 Challenge with Many Parts Ministries. It's a free 50-day spiritual journey designed to deepen your relationship with the Holy Spirit! Sister Miriam's One Thing - The Divine Mercy Novena and Divine Mercy Sunday Michelle's One Thing - Join us in praying The Divine Mercy Chaplet Resurrection Power By: Michelle Benzinger A crucible is the place where the refiner's fire is not your enemy, but your tender witness of integration. It is where certainty melts, where control dissolves, where the identities you once clung to lose their shape in the flame. The crucible is where faith stops being an idea and melts into surrender, where you no longer hold God at a distance, but find Him somehow in the very fire you once feared. It is a holy undoing that makes space for a deeper yes. It is an invitation into the Paschal Mystery. It is the Holy Spirit's invitation into the Resurrection power. Journal Questions: Where do I turn in my trials and disappointments?Where in my life have I been avoiding the fullness of the Paschal Mystery (suffering, waiting, and resurrection)?What renunciations and declarations do I need to make today?What are the questions on my heart? Do I absolutely need the answer to do God's Will today? Discussion Questions: What has God revealed to you in your current trials?How are you choosing to intentionally feast during these 50 days?How has God called you to a mature and adult faith in this season of life?What does Resurrection power and glory look like in your life? Quotes to Ponder: "They" (her friends the saints) "want to see how far I am going to push my trust." (St. Thérèse of Lisieux) "When we realize that's happening—that we're going round and round and getting nowhere, that our questions aren't producing light but only bitterness and blame—we must have the courage to put those questions aside and ask ourselves another. It's the only essential one, after all, and it will always be answered: What attitude does God want me to have toward this situation? The point is to move from "Why?" to "How?" The real question isn't "Why is this happening to me?" but "How should I live through these things?" How am I called to face this situation? What call to growth is being made to me through this? That question will always get an answer." (Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love, Page 129) Scripture for Lectio: "Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you." (Isaiah 54:10) Sponsor - Glory: Women's Gathering: If you're ready to intentionally embrace a spirit of Resurrection in your life this year, we invite you to register for the Glory: Women's Gathering hosted by Steubenville Conferences in partnership with Heather Khym.

    S18 E11 - The Way of Trust and Love: God's Infinite Mercy
    2026/03/30
    In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study on "The Way of Trust and Love" and focus on Chapter 5: God's Infinite Mercy. We reflect on the paradox of true strength—how becoming little, dependent, and surrendered before the Lord is the very place where His strength takes root in us. We also talk about what it means to live with a pure heart, not by striving harder, but by bringing every part of ourselves into honest communion with Christ and allowing His kindness to call us higher. This week, as we wrestle with fear, worry, and the temptation to rely on ourselves, we encourage you to be reminded that it is God's love that heals, restores, and leads us to freedom.

Journal Questions: What has the Lord convicted me of this Lent?What is the Lord inviting me to abandon to His Divine Providence?How can I be more present to the present moment?What graces have I received this Lent? Discussion Questions: How is the Lord inspiring you to change?Where in your life are you just surviving?When was a recent time you experienced discouragement? How were you placing trust in yourself?How have your eyes been opened this Lent? Quotes to Ponder: "Thérèse says to Jesus in one of her poems: "I want to love you like a little child, I want to battle like a warrior bold."" (Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love, Page 90) "Let's return to the subject of trust. We have seen how we should nurture our trust. It is fragile, but it can be increased and strengthened by listening to the Word, by prayer, by the acts of faith we make in difficult moments, and by the experience of God's faithfulness. Now I wish to make a point that is simple but has wide implications. I can put it in the form of a question: What is the basis for our trust? What does it actually rest on?" (Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love, Page 92-93) Scripture for Lectio: "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves." (Matthew 10:16) Sponsor - Into the Deep: This episode is sponsored by Into the Deep, a Catholic company creating beautiful faith formation resources for families. One of the most powerful ways to help children grow in faith is through beauty. Sacred art has always been part of how the Church teaches the Faith by helping believers contemplate the life of Christ, the mysteries of the Rosary, and the stories of Scripture. Into the Deep creates thoughtfully designed resources that help families rediscover this tradition at home. Their Paintings + Prayers Cards pair classic sacred paintings with traditional Catholic prayers, inviting children to slow down, look closely, and enter into prayer through the beauty of art. It's a simple but powerful way to enrich your family's daily prayer rhythm. They also offer several Catholic picture study resources perfect for families and homeschoolers: The Parables of Jesus - Children encounter Christ's teachings through sacred masterpieces depicting the Gospel parables. The Mysteries of the Rosary - A unique way to help children meditate on the rosary by contemplating sacred art presentations of each Mystery.Fra Angelico Artist Study - Discover the life and work of the Dominican friar whose paintings captivate the moral imagination. These resources are designed especially for families who want to cultivate wonder, contemplation, and a deeper love for the Catholic Faith.

    S18 E10 - The Way of Trust and Love: Trusting More and More
    2026/03/23

    In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study on "The Way of Trust and Love" and focus on Chapter 4: Trusting More and More. We reflect on the tender places where our trust in the Father has been wounded—especially in the disappointments we carry with ourselves, our children, and the circumstances in our lives—and how God gently invites us to bring those disappointments to Him. We also talk about the lies that quietly erode our trust in God, the temptation to carry life's burdens alone, and the way simple rhythms of prayer allow God to personally reveal to us His goodness. This week, we invite you to honestly bring your disappointments before God and ask Him to reveal to you His goodness.

    Journal Questions:

    • Where do I lack trust in the Father?
    • When do I see God as my enemy?
    • What narratives of your life are you seeking to control?
    • What is bothering me most acutely right now?
    • What am I carrying that I need to let go?

    Discussion Questions:

    • Where do you take your disappointment?
    • Where are you experiencing agitation?
    • How are you tempted to manage the Lord's revelations in your life?
    • What might be an appropriate prayer prescription for your current agitations?
    • How is God inviting you into the safety of the Holy Family this Lent?

    Quotes to Ponder:

    "This work of restoring trust in our hearts is an essential aspect of the spiritual life. Wounded by original sin, our hearts are riddled with fears and doubts. It takes time to be cured of them. Maybe that will never happen completely in this life, but we can nevertheless make great strides in trusting more." (Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love, Page 69)

    "Trust works miracles." (St. Thérèse of Lisieux)



    Scripture for Lectio:

    "But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness." (Psalm 86:15)
