    Kris’ interview with Sarah McLaughlin was so inspiring I stopped to order the book before the segment ended. Inside the Pages is one of the myriad of segments I receive spiritual guidance from daily. Thank you!

HH1 – The Cross Conquers Evil – The Heart of Hope with Deacon James Keating – Discerning Hearts Podcast
Q: What would you say to the person who is looking at the cross and is fearful to embrace it?
It's probably best just to say what Jesus said, 'Father, into your hands I commend my spirit'.
DWG10 – Steps in Spiritual Guidance – The Discernment of God’s Will in Everyday Decisions with Fr. Timothy Gallagher – Discerning Hearts Podcast
Q: How do we know the person that we turn to is the one that God desires for us?
We can seek spiritual guidance from offices in the Archdiocese or ask our parish priest for recommendations on competent spiritual directors.
VEC10 – Arius – Villains of the Early Church with Mike Aquilina – Discerning Hearts Podcast
Q: What could it look like in our modern day, if someone looks at Jesus and says, well, he's the son of God, but they don't connect that he is also God?
It leads to a simplified and less profound understanding of God, which could diminish the essence of relational theology within the Trinity.
VEC10 – Arius – Villains of the Early Church with Mike Aquilina – Discerning Hearts Podcast
Q: Tell us about him.
Arius was a priest who taught that the Son was not co-equal or co-eternal with the Father, undermining key Christian doctrines.
VEC9 – Diocletian – Villains of the Early Church with Mike Aquilina – Discerning Hearts Podcast
Q: What is the Christian to do in times of persecution?
The Christian is to persevere in faith, maintain a disciplined life of prayer, and be prepared for persecution, knowing that God will support them in times of trial.
