If you don’t value something, does it mean it’s not valuable to others or the world? Our life experiences form us, and our hearts respond in different ways, mainly where there are areas of something we didn’t experience or grew up without. We can have a coping mechanism or a defense mechanism of numbing and closing that part of our hearts so that it doesn’t become an open lifelong wound, which becomes a value. A value that tells us which is important and which is not important and which we can project onto other people as well.
So, we want to be open to discerning those realities at play. In this episode, we are invited to know our hearts through healthy self-awareness, self-doubt, and an openness to receive what others value.
As we grow, we want to keep focusing on quality and bringing you new features that have a cost.

When you take the time, it’s always, “I’m so glad I did that.” Eternal perspective changes how you use your time. What are we made for? To live forever.

Into The Desert
There are several practices that we are preparing to do during this Lent. But this time of year shouldn’t only be a project we must fulfill but rather an opportunity. Lent is an opportunity to exercise a posture of prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and surrender. We surrender to someone, to a relationship that matters, to God. In this episode, we will talk…

C’est La Confiance
Are you worried for 2024? Worry is a lack of confidence, and we can be worried about much stuff. The invitation from St. Therese and our Lord is to have confidence in Him.
