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?

Hearing God's calls for our lives isn't always easy. How do we interpret and understand what God is calling us to, both in our vocation and in other life choices? Join Stacey Sumereau on coffee dates with Catholic friends for insight and inspiring guidance. Stacey toured with Broadway shows before finding out that her dreams weren't making her happy. Her discernment of her future took a radically different turn when Lifetime documented her journey on the reality TV series "The Sisterhood: Becoming Nuns." Since then she hasn't stopped searching for God's will! More on discernment at staceysumereau.com Original music by JF Church.
