• 66 | How to Turn Your Bible Study into a Conversation with God
    2026/05/05

    Have you ever sat down for Bible study… craving something deeper?

    Or maybe you’ve found yourself wondering… What is my purpose, God?

    …while spending time in Bible study and longing for clarity.

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing how to turn your Bible study into a conversation with God so you can hear Him more clearly through His Word.

    If you’re a Catholic mom who desires to grow closer to God, deepen your faith, and better understand how to hear His voice in your everyday life—especially as you seek clarity, direction, and purpose—this episode is for you.

    We’re diving into why this matters, how it can shift the way you approach your time with God, and how your Bible study can become an even deeper space for connection, devotion, and clarity.

    Because Bible study isn’t only about reading Scripture… it can also become a meaningful place to slow down, spend time with God, and grow in understanding His guidance for your life.

    Grab your Bible, reheat your hot beverage (and maybe fold that laundry), and get ready to discover how God may already be speaking to you.

    I pray that this episode blesses and encourages you!

    2026/04/07

    Do you feel like you’re meant for more… but have no idea what that “more” actually is?

    Do you want to follow God’s plan—but feel unsure what He’s actually calling you to?

    Do you feel stuck in the daily rhythm of motherhood, wondering if there’s something more for you? You’re not alone—and more importantly, you’re not stuck.

    Purpose can feel just out of reach, especially for busy Catholic moms who are juggling everything from laundry to late-night snack for the kids. We feel like we’re meant for something more, yet we’re stuck in the daily grind, unsure of how to actually move forward.

    In the middle of busy motherhood—between laundry, errands, and everything in between—it can feel nearly impossible to slow down and hear where God is leading.

    But here’s the truth:

    You don’t need more time.

    You need the right approach—one that invites God into the process.

    In this episode, I’m sharing a simple, faith-centered way to begin discerning your God-given purpose—so you can stop guessing and start being led by God with clarity and peace.

    If you’ve ever thought, “I want to follow God’s plan… but I don’t know what that is,” this episode will give you a clear place to start.

    So whether you’re folding laundry or driving around town—press play and take your next step with God.

    I pray that this episode blesses and encourages you!
