In this week's show, Jennie talks with sacred artist, Kate Capato, about her mission to help others encounter the Divine through beauty. Kate is a sacred art painter and inspirational speaker who magnifies Christ by brining to life truth, goodness and beauty through her artwork.   Kate shares that she has always had a love for beauty and art. As a child, she was always drawing, painting and creating. As she began to look to her future, she wanted to combine art and ministry to help others encounter God, but she wasn't sure how to fit them together. In college, she toured to Florence, Italy with her dance group. It was there that she discovered a sacred art school. God provided the opportunity for her to attend and through her studies she was inspired to create beautiful art that invites the faithful to encounter God's truth and goodness. Kate says, "when we taste beauty in this life, whether it is visually or in music, in nature or smell and taste, all these different ways that we encounter beauty, really we're, we're experiencing God." Her paintings are created in prayer and she hopes that each one will lead others to the heart of Christ.  You can find more information on Kate's beautiful ministry and paintings at visualgrace.org. You will also find a list of her speaking engagements around the country.  Jennie Guinn is a Catholic speaker, Life Coach, Podcaster, Weekly Radio Show Host on Nashville Catholic Radio and Radio Maria USA, and the founder of Catholic Moms in the Middle.

In this show, I talk with Fr. Mark Nolte about a recent mission trip to Brazil where he witnessed many healings. Fr. Mark shares stories the many miracles that he witnessed, but he also talks about how these healings and miracles should and can be a normal occurrence for the church.  We discussed how many people are skeptical of healings and if they are actually possible through prayer. When asked what he would say to those people who doubt, Fr. Mark said,  "Well, I used to be one of those people many years ago. I used to mock all these healings on TV or people, you know, falling backwards. My belief changed when I experienced the Holy Spirit over 35 years ago, in a prayer group in Nashville. In that group, I began to have experienced the power of the Holy Spirit and the manifestations of the Spirit. And I realized that this is the stuff I saw on TV."  Fr. Mark talks about his journey to learn more about the Holy Spirit's gift of healing and how he attended conferences and bought books from Catholic theologians because he wanted to learn from people within the church. He says he began to understand that it was part of the early church and we got away from it for different reasons. As Father Mark shares about the different gifts of the Holy Spirit and how they can manifest into healings and miracles, he emphasizes that you have to be grounded in a deep prayer life, because that's where it originates. It's Jesus who's doing the healing, not any of us. He shares that fear can occur when people don't have an intimate relationship with the Lord and understand his promises.  Fr. Mark says, "once you fall in love with him, you get to know him you can't help but want to share his love and his compassion with other people. This allows you to be more comfortable in praying with people in the moment and the expectation that healing can occur."

At the beginning of a new year, many people create new year's resolutions. They are hopeful that they will be able to reach their goals during the year. In this show, I share a different approach to setting goals for the year. So often, resolutions are made from a place of trying to "fix" what is wrong in your life. Instead, I challenge you to reflect on the past year. Sit down with a hot cup of tea and scroll through all of the pictures on your phone from the past twelve months. Look at all of the adventures, trips, time with family and friends as you revisit the memories. I bet you'll be filled with joy and gratitude at all you experienced in 2023. It is time of gratitude and thanksgiving, but also look at the things you want to change or do differently in the new year. What changes would bring your more health, more joy, more freedom and increase your faith? Once you've answered these questions, ask yourself this simple question.  What do I need? What do you need in your life? What do you need in your spiritual life? What do you need for your body? What do you need in your mental and emotional life? Identify what you need and then decide how you can add it to your life. In this show, I will share what I discerned that I need for the year and my plan to make sure I have it in abundance.    Jennie Guinn is a Catholic speaker, Life Coach, Podcaster, Weekly Radio Show Host on Nashville Catholic Radio and Radio Maria USA, and the founder of Catholic Moms in the Middle.

In this week's show, I talk with Judy Zelden. Judy is one of the original members of the Magnificat Ministry which started in New Orleans over 40 years ago. Judy shares how the ministry was created to help women support and encourage one another by sharing their personal testimony and by creating an intimate relationship with Christ. Like the Blessed Mother, all women are encouraged to receive Christ and then share him with those they encounter each day. The Magnificat Ministry is an extension of the Charismatic Movement in the Catholic Church. Judy and I talk about Baptism in the Spirit and how the term can confuse and intimidate. We have an honest conversation about embracing the Holy Spirit and using the gifts you've been given.  This conversation is a little taste of Judy's testimony that she will be sharing at the next Magnificat Breakfast in Nashville on February 3rd.

In this episode, I talk with podcast host, Kate Eschbach, about her journey into the Catholic Church and how her life was forever changed when she literally tripped over a saint. A very pregnant Kate tripped over a prayer card of St. Dymphna as she walked into her bedroom. They prayer card written in Spanish appeared out of now where and led Kate on a beautiful journey to learn more about St. Dymphna, who is the patron saint of mental illness. Connecting with St. Dymphna encouraged and inspired Kate as she encountered challenges in her family life. In her podcast, Kate talks with others who have had profound encounters with saints and how those saints have inspired and equipped them for life's various trials and situations.  Click here to listen to Kate's podcast, Tripping Over Saints.

In this week's show I talk with Fr. Dan Reehil, the host of Battle Ready with Fr. Dan, about how the Enemy works in our daily lives. The good news is that the Enemy only has as much control as you give him. God is always greater! There are thought patterns, beliefs and feelings that open the door to the Enemy wreaking havoc, creating confusion and keeping you stuck. Father Dan shares stories from his work over the years as the exorcist of the diocese. Once you begin to recognize these situations, learn how to turn your focus back to God for healing and transformation. God is always greater!  Father Dan and I also talk about a retreat that we are hosting together in January.

In this week's show, I talk with my friend and colleague in ministry, Joan Watson. After years of working in the Diocese of Nashville as the Director of Faith Formation, Joan took her dream job with Verso Ministries in South Bend, Indiana. Her new role is to prepare the hearts and souls for pilgrims before, during and after their pilgrimage.  Joan shares,   "One thing I think it's important to remember about pilgrimage is that it is the spiritual journey. It doesn't necessarily have to be internationally. It doesn't necessarily need to be someplace far away. Because really, a pilgrimage is actually just a microcosm of our life. That's something, so our new podcast with Verso is called In Via. On the way, on the journey, and the podcast really focuses on the fact that we're all on this journey, like the spiritual life, the Christian life, daily life is a journey, and I think this pairs so well with your ministry, Jennie, because I think we can get kind of bored and stuck in a rut and not know where we're going. But when we begin to view our lives as this journey, ultimately, hopefully this journey to heaven, but this journey that we are accompanied by different people along the way, we have different experiences along the way, we fall off the path sometimes along the way, but that our whole life is a journey. When we begin to see life that way, we realize that every life, every day is exciting. Every day has a new opportunity. And so occasionally on this pilgrimage of life, that's when St. Augustine first uses the word pilgrimage. To talk about the Christian life, not to talk about a trip to the Holy Land or a trip to Rome." Listen to the podcast to hear Joan share insight, aha moments and how a pilgrimage can impact your faith life. She also share about an upcoming pilgrimage to some unique and not so well known Marian sites.  Here is how you can connect with Joan.  joanmwatson.com IG:  Joan.M.Watson Youtube: YouTube.com/joanwatson (No M in this)   Marian Pilgrimage - June 20-30, 2024 Info here: https://versoministries.com/marian2024       Jennie is a Catholic speaker, Life Coach, Podcaster, Weekly Radio Show Host on Nashville Catholic Radio and Radio Maria USA, and founder of Catholic Moms in the Middle.

In this week's show, I talk with my friend, Elsie Ollapally, about her family's connection to Mother Teresa in India. Elsie shares stories about one of Mother's convents being across the alley from her family home. Her stories are heartwarming and inspiring! As a young girl, Mother Teresa warns Elsie about moving to America, yet Elsie courageously goes where she feels God is calling her. She shares how God confirmed that she was following her unique calling!

In this week’s show, A Medjugorje Heart, I talk with my friend, Michelle Contich, who just returned from her first pilgrimage to Medjugorje. Michelle shares that she discovered the gifts of Medjugorje as she sought healing during a difficult season of life. The gifts that Michelle unwrapped were all about God’s great love. The love found in the sacrament of Reconciliation, being called to just love others and how love leads to joy and peace in your heart.  We live in a world that needs more love! It sounds trite to say, but what the world is lacking is an awareness of the source of true love. I am reminded of the Beatles song, All You Need Is Love. It is true that all you need is love, but the source of that love is God the Father! The world tends to confuse God’s love with love of the “flesh” or worldly desires. The world’s love leads to confusion, pain and will leave you searching in all the wrong places.  Click here to read the entire blog.

In my recent podcast Divine Discoveries, I shared the abundant connections that God has placed in my life over the past six months. One of those connections is Joanne Moody. In the podcast, I explained how reading Joanne’s book encouraged me to take more risks in sharing my faith. Her book, Everyday Supernatural: Experiencing God’s Unexpected Manifestation in Your Life, challenged me to look outside the box of how I walk with the Holy Spirit.  I was honored and blessed to have a conversation with Joanne about the Gift of healing and the Holy Spirit in this week’s show, The Gift Healing with Joanne Moody.  As a cradle Catholic, I have learned over and over about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have attended conferences over the years where the Holy Spirit has been active and present, but it wasn’t until recently that I realized that the gifts of the Spirit are an important part of my faith journey. A part of my faith journey that I have neglected. In the past, I’ve taken inventories to see which charisms or gifts God has blessed me with, but I realized that I often limit these gifts and use them sparingly. These limitations often keep me stuck in fear and doubt instead of stepping out in faith to serve the Lord.  Click here to read the entire blog.   Joanne Moody's book: Everyday Supernatural: Experiencing God's Unexpected Manifestation in Your Life Joanne's Ministry Agape Freedom Fighters Jennie is a Catholic speaker, Life Coach, Podcaster, Weekly Radio Show Host on Nashville Catholic Radio and Radio Maria USA, and founder of Catholic Moms in the Middle.
