In this episode, I share how the final step in overcoming an addiction is sharing your witness with others. This comes with time and discernment, but be not afraid. As a friend recently told me, once God liberates you, you have authority in His Name to walk the same road with others, in order that they may be liberated. All for the glory of God.

After making an episode in which I shared how I became addicted to masturbation, I was shocked by how many people viewed the video and reached out on social media. This has inspired me to start a 10-part series on overcoming such an addiction.
In this episode, I share how the second step in finding freedom is running to our Heavenly Father in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Note: Following these steps may not be exactly how the Lord intends to heal you, but I hope He will allow them to be pivotal points in your journey, as they were in mine.

Has God ever asked you to do something outside of your comfort zone? If not, you probably haven't been listening, as the Lord often invites us to do things we would have never considered doing ourselves. This might be a move across the country, across the world, or simply within our soul. Learn how to discern such an invitation on this week's episode.

To consecrate yourself to Jesus through Mary, I recommend the following consecrations: 1. For a first-time individual: "33 Days to Morning Glory" by Fr. Michael E. Gaitley, MIC https://www.ignatius.com/33-Days-to-Morning-Glory-P2410.aspx
-
For a group consecration: "Mary's Mantle Consecration: A Spiritual Retreat for Heaven's Help" by Christine Watkins https://queenofpeacemedia.com/marys-mantle/
-
For a returning individual: "True Devotion to Mary" by St. Louis de Montfort https://tanbooks.com/tan-classics/true-devotion-to-mary-with-preparation-for-total-consecration/
These consecrations are listed in the formats that I utilized, though any of them can be used on an individual or group basis at any time.

For some reason, it seems like when you're single but wanting to be married, some people will tell you this to try to make you feel better while you're waiting: "If God is allowing you to be single, He wants you to do more service in this season." While this may be true, it might also be misleading. Find out why on this week's episode. (And yes...I get cut off at the end...again. Please pray for protection over me!)

Order a copy of The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila at the following website: https://tanbooks.com/sanctification/spiritual-direction-books/the-interior-castle/?gclid=Cj0KCQjws-OEBhCkARIsAPhOkIald5GM9AaHvzgwYG25xlIoXg4QNrLNwvhHlDhV-yJkOwQbs5XFXWQaAsMgEALw_wcB
Disclaimer: Saint Teresa was much smarter than me. Even when I share my feelings, they are just that: feelings. I have much to learn in the spiritual life, and St. Teresa is a wise teacher. I simply share here my initial reactions to her concept of being "cast out" of the castle, not what she concludes in summation.

Do you ever fall into the trap of "shoulding" on yourself? It goes something like this: "I should be...this," "I shouldn't have done...that," and so on and so forth. Instead of moving us to positive action through the conviction of Christ, these phrases are actually wiles of the devil that tend to trap us in an endless cycle of self-pity. Learn how to gauge his guile and hold fast to the truth in this week's episode.

Although the Resurrection of Jesus is the most important part of the Christian faith, sometimes it's hard to believe that it really means something for us personally. For example, maybe you believe Jesus rose from the dead but have a difficult time believing He did so to free you from an addiction that has taken over your life; or maybe you believe in the Resurrection but don't believe new life is possible for you after everything you've done. If you or someone you know and love has ever felt this way, then this is the episode for you.

In our current culture, we are constantly bombarded by unholy images that fail to uphold our God-given dignity and that of our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Although we've all been tempted toward impurity at some point or another (or likely will be one day), St. John Paul II and Dr. Edward Sri have some very helpful advice on how to know whether you've actually lusted in your thoughts.
To order Dr. Sri's book, "Men, Women, and the Mystery of Love," go to the link below: https://www.lighthousecatholicmedia.org/store/title/men-women-and-the-mystery-of-love-book

Ferris Bueller once wisely said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." While that shouldn't encourage us to do things like skip school (though that is a great movie), it's true that life moves pretty fast - sometimes so much so that it seems like more than we can handle. However, we are not alone in this feeling.
The Blessed Mother experienced this in a profound way when the angel Gabriel appeared to her and announced that she was to be the Mother of God. Although she was greatly troubled by this and could not comprehend everything this task would entail, Mary didn't let fear have the final say; instead, she said yes to God's plan and took the next step "with haste" (Lk 1:39 RSV).
Where is the Lord asking you to go with haste today?

St. Joseph was chosen from all men to be the foster father of Jesus. This shows us how much our Lord values Joseph's intercession, and why we can look to Joseph as a father figure in our own lives. Pope Francis actually declared that this liturgical year (December 8, 2020 - December 8, 2021) is dedicated to this holy man. Finally, with his solemnity coming up on March 19, I wanted to share why I've personally come to love St. Joseph so much (and no, it's not just because we can eat meat if his feast day falls on a Friday of Lent...though that is a definite plus).

The following prayer is the one to St. Joseph the Worker that I prayed as a novena (so for nine days straight), which CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. St. Joseph the Worker, pray for us!
"St. Joseph the Worker, please grant peace and guidance to those seeking employment. Beloved patron of all workers, I need your wisdom to guide my footsteps along the right path, and to lead me to find the proper things to say and do in this quest to find employment. I wish to use the gifts and talents God has given me, but I need the opportunity to do so with gainful employment. Do not abandon me, dear Foster Father of Jesus, in this search, but rather intercede to God for this favor I seek, so that I may return with praise to God and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance. Grant this through Christ, our Lord. Amen."

Feeling hopeless? Have a cause that seems impossible? Call on the intercession of St. Jude! St. Jude was one of the 12 Apostles and is an incredible example of what it means to follow Jesus. He is known as the Patron of Hopeless or Impossible Causes because of countless miracles that have occurred through his intercession. Fun fact: he was also called by the name Thaddeus, which is referenced in Scripture.
Join me and my friend, Lauren, as we share how St. Jude performed a miracle in our lives!

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “Breakups suck,” more than once in your life. However, I’m here to argue that, though parts of them certainly suck (and to a serious degree), they are overall a good thing. A holy thing. A virtuous thing.

Are you stuck in a rut? Spiritually? Emotionally? Mentally? Physically? If you aren't now, you probably have been before. It happens to the best of us: we make a resolution to do something, only to "fall off the wagon." When this happens, it's easy to get discouraged and give up rather than reflect on the progress we have made and the graces God has given us.
So, I ask again: are you stuck in a rut? If so, try this...

As Christians, we hear all the time how we're called to "store up treasure for ourselves in Heaven." But how many of us actually do this?
I personally find myself seeking pleasure in place of God more often than I'd like to admit. However, this past weekend I was reminded just how joyful a pursuit it is to look for treasure that lasts...and I have a little boy to thank for that. Find out why on this week's episode.

I struggled with disordered eating from the time I was in middle school through most of college. This meant I experienced anxiety whenever I would eat or even think about eating. I was unhappy with and uncomfortable in my body and was obsessed with how I looked. For years, I felt hopeless, ashamed, and totally alone in this struggle. And, honestly, it felt like it was never going to get better.
In this episode (as well as its two counterparts), I'd like to share how the Lord healed me in this regard: namely, through the discovery of Intuitive Eating.

Disclaimer: We thought we had more to say, but perhaps God (or the devil) thought otherwise because we got cut off and didn't realize it until it was too late. (#humility) However, we hope the awkward ending doesn't take away from the good things the Lord in His grace has allowed us to share!

As of August 29th, 2020, I have been blessed to have had a YouTube channel for ONE YEAR! It’s crazy what the Lord has allowed this to grow into in that amount of time - all for His greater glory - and He’s also taught me a lot along the way.
I’ve learned three life lessons in particular through this experience, which I’d like to share on this week’s episode!

This episode is inspired by a paper I wrote as part of a Spiritual Theology course I took in college. It is entitled, "Receiving the Love of God in A Feminine Spirit: A Call for All." Don't be fooled by the "feminine" reference; this video is just as much for men as it is for women! My hope is that it will help every viewer/listener to learn what it truly means to be human...which is to be created BY love, WITH love, FOR love.

We hear the term "great" all the time. So-and-so is a "great" actor, so-and-so is a "great" Saint, etc. While these can be and often are true statements, I think sometimes we paint a grandiose and unrealistic picture rather than a great one.
Discover what it truly means to be great on this week's episode of joyinhope.

When it comes to "discerning one's vocation," there seem to be a thousand resources out there on what you SHOULD do in this regard...but sometimes it can be more helpful (and humorous) to first and foremost discuss what NOT to do in discernment. And that's exactly what this week's episode is all about!

Whether you've been on the giving or receiving end of being "just friends," we all know the aftermath can be brutal. Even if both people have the best of intentions, the friendship will never be the same after someone admits having feelings for the other person. However, I'm here to share some personal stories of how a foundation of friendship is the best starting point for ANY relationship and that, even when all hope seems lost, friendship is ALWAYS worth fighting for.

The following prayer is the one to St. Joseph the Worker that I prayed as a novena (so for nine days straight), which CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. And that is NOT an exaggeration. St. Joseph the Worker, pray for us!
St. Joseph the Worker, please grant peace and guidance to those seeking employment. Beloved patron of all workers, I need your wisdom to guide my footsteps along the right path, and to lead me to find the proper things to say and do in this quest to find employment. I wish to use the gifts and talents God has given me, but I need the opportunity to do so with gainful employment. Do not abandon me, dear Foster Father of Jesus, in this search, but rather intercede to God for this favor I seek, so that I may return with praise to God and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance. Grant this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
To pray with the passage I reference concerning the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, see the Gospel of Matthew 16:5-12.

Have you ever wondered what that thing called the ROSARY is REALLY all about, and whether or not we’re ACTUALLY supposed to pray it? SAME. I answer these questions and more in today’s episode, which is actually the start of a special, five-part video series on this particular prayer!
This series is inspired, first, by the fact that this month (May!) is traditionally dedicated to Our Lady. Secondly, the feast of Our Lady of Fatima falls during this month, which recalls the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary to three shepherd children in Portugal on the 13th of each month from May to October in 1917. Each time she appeared to them, Mary asked that they pray the Rosary: specifically, that they pray it every day. This message wasn’t simply for them, however; it was something our Mother asked them to share with the entire world! Eventually, the Blessed Mother revealed to one of the children, Lucia, when she was older that the world should observe the “Five First Saturdays” devotion. (I explain this devotion in-depth in the episode.)
With this in mind, I thought it was fitting to do this five-part series on each Saturday of this month; this first episode simply explains HOW TO pray the Rosary and WHY we should, and the following four weeks will be the praying of the Rosary itself (starting with the Joyful Mysteries on the 9th, then the Luminous on the 16th, the Sorrowful on the 23rd, and lastly, the Glorious on the 30th).
Whew! What are we waiting for? Without further ado…let’s get to honoring Mama Mary! (See below for more extensive resources on praying the Rosary.)

Italian singer Andrea Bocelli has recently become even more well-known thanks to his “Music for Hope” concert on Easter Sunday this year, which was streamed by millions world-wide. Since then, I have been introduced to an additional song of his called “Fall On Me,” which was released in 2018 and features his son Matteo.
The song is a dialogue between a father and his son who is struggling to find his purpose. I relate to this song on a deeply spiritual level and felt inspired to share why on this week’s episode. I hope it resonates with you in the same way.
This episode originated as a YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uOojfxCe80&t=574s
To watch the official music video for “Fall On Me,” click on the link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChcR2...
See below for the lyrics to “Fall On Me” (in English):
I thought sooner or later the lights up above Would come down in circles and guide me to love But I don't know what's right for me I cannot see straight I've been here too long and I don't wanna wait for it
Fly like a cannonball straight to my soul Tear me to pieces and make me feel whole I'm willing to fight for it And carry this weight But with every step, I keep questioning what is true
Fall on me With open arms Fall on me From where you are Fall on me With all your light With all your light With all your light
Soon you will find what your heart wants to know Don't give up hope for I know you are close And all you have ever dreamed, wished you could ever be Is waiting to find you wherever you go
Believe in yourself every step that you take Know I am smiling with pride every day My love will forever be stronger than stone So don't be afraid you are never alone
Fall on me With open arms Fall on me From where you are Fall on me With all your light With all your light With all your light
I close my eyes and I'm seeing you everywhere I step outside, it's like I'm breathing you in the air I can feel you are there
Fall on me With open arms Fall on me From where you are Fall on me With all your light With all your light With all your light

Confrontation...that icky, awkward feeling we get when having to address something with someone...whether it’s relatively harmless, like your roommate chomping on chips too loudly, or as serious as a close friend or family member’s soul being at stake, it can be difficult to discern whether or not we’re called to respond to the situation and - if so - how to do so.
In today’s episode, I offer 5 steps for having a confrontation as Christ Himself would. I hope they help!

If you missed our last episode (Episode 28: Hope in the Face of Anxiety), you missed this young woman share her past struggles with severe, life-altering, inhibiting anxiety and how the Lord has helped deliver her from this. Praise Him!
This week, she returns to talk with me about the importance of overcoming anxiety from a spiritual standpoint. No matter what level of anxiety we deal with, it's something we all experience, and only God can grant us true peace and relief from it.
Join us as we meditate on a passage from Scripture where the Mother of God herself - our Blessed Mama Mary - experiences anxiety and how she handles it. Plus, we pray over what the Lord is specifically saying to each of US through this story, and how He is speaking to YOU.

Finally, if you're seeking SPECIFIC Scriptures to pray with, The Bible App (YouVersion) is a great place to go. They provide Bible plans on all sorts of subjects: anxiety, fear, love, etc. Download it with the following link! (Note: This is not a Catholic app, more of a non-denominational Christian one, so I advise Catholics to read meditations with a grain of salt and to make sure that the content is in line with the Church. I also recommend setting the "Version" to New Revised Standard Version Catholic Interconfessional!) https://www.youversion.com/the-bible-...

Have you ever struggled with severe anxiety? I'm not talking about the normal, everyday kind - like nervousness when it comes to doing a presentation in class or at your job - but the life-altering, inhibiting kind that takes over your life, threatens your peace of mind, and makes simple tasks that never bothered you before almost unbearable.
Join us on this episode of JinH as one young woman bravely shares, for the first time, how she suffered with this level of anxiety for years. She shares how it all started, her slow but steady process to recovery, and how she can now look back on that experience and recognize how God's hand was at work through it all.
Please share this video with anyone you know who suffers from severe anxiety, depression, or any attack against hope and a happy life. Let them know that THEY ARE NOT ALONE, and help them on their path to healing simply by sharing this story. Our prayer is that the Lord will use this video to inspire people to do the next right thing for themselves in this regard, even if it's just opening up to a trusted friend or adult. Every step toward healing is HUGE, and the Lord is asking YOU to help make that difference...whether it's in your own life or in someone else's.
AND NEVER FORGET...YOU ARE LOVED...YOU ARE FOUND...AND YOU HAVE A PURPOSE. We are praying for you!
So...what are you waiting for?

Lent: What is it? How do we do it? HELP!
I gotchu, fam.
According to the website Faith Central, which quotes the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Lent is "the liturgical season of forty days which begins with Ash Wednesday and ends with the celebration of the Paschal Mystery (Easter Triduum). Lent is the primary penitential season in the Church's liturgical year, reflecting the forty days Jesus spent in the desert in fasting and prayer (540, 1095, 1438)." To go to this website and learn more about what Lent IS, click on the link below: http://www.stevencwelsh.com/faith/Cat...
To do "penance" means to tell God you're sorry for the sins you have committed and how you have otherwise failed to do good and glorify Him by your life and therefore do things in order to make up for these wrongs. The Catechism states three ways that Scripture and the Church Fathers say "above all" can express penance (CCC 1434). These ways are 1) fasting 2) prayer and 3) almsgiving, which in turn help us to get right with 1) ourselves 2) God and 3) others.
In this episode, I also offer 3 tips for "how to do Lent right," which are: 1) Pray months in advance about what your Lenten promises should be, that way Lent doesn't sneak up on you! 2) Choose things that are relevant to YOU (i.e., don't just fast from chocolate because your mom is or from social media because all of your friends are). 3) Do NOT give up a certain kind of food or drink if it's secretly a diet for you. Glorifying a certain body image does NOT glorify God, though if you are TRULY fasting from something(s) of this sort for spiritual and/or health-related reasons, that can be legit (just be wary, because that's a fine line, I know...I've been there). God calls us to perfection of our SOULS, NOT of our bodies.
And know that IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START A LENTEN PROMISE!!! Even if we're over halfway through the season of Lent and you haven't made any Lenten promises, send up a quick prayer TODAY, asking the Lord to inspire you with what you can do for the remainder of this special season to get right with 1) yourself 2) Him and 3) others.

COVID-19: otherwise known as the coronavirus. It's all ANYBODY is talking about right now. So...let's talk about it! Specifically, let's talk about how we can respond to it as Christians, and especially as Catholics, in light of sight of sin, which always calls us to conversion (to return to God with our whole mind and heart), and how this current pandemic is a call for us to cleanse our SOULS (as well as our hands) during this time through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Did you know that there are actually two degrees of sin?
It's true: the first degree is venial (lesser) sins, while the second degree is mortal (serious) sins.
Mortal sins actually cut a person off from God, and the only way to be healed from them is through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Though this may seem daunting, DO NOT BE AFRAID, as Christ Himself tells us! The nervousness and anxiety surrounding this Sacrament are just tactics the devil tries to use to keep us from being restored to God's friendship in this way.
Think about it like this: If we DON'T go to confession, the devil wins. Yet, who wins if we go...? Find out in today's episode, where I'm joined by friends Luke and Daniel!

"If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."
I don't know about you, but I've heard this phrase plenty of times in my life - sometimes, even directed toward me. And it is just the WORST. Why? Because it makes me doubt God's goodness and whether or not He truly wants me to be happy.
Join me (and my friends Madison and Alivia) as we unpack this saying on today's episode of joyinhope!

Note: At one point in the video, I reference St. John Paul II's "Letter to Artists." What I meant to quote from this letter was the line, "Beauty will SAVE the world." What I ended up saying was "CHANGE" the world. #humility It's also worth noting that John Paul actually seems to be quoting someone else when he says this in his letter. Regardless, it is an AMAZING resource, and I encourage you to check it out using the link below!

How many times have we heard the phrase, "Ignorance is bliss"? And, as Christians, how are we supposed to respond to this?
Christ calls us to be "in the world" but not to be "of it." What does that mean? And how does it relate to this topic? Find out in this episode!

We hear the term "karma" thrown around in conversations all the time. Even people who claim to be Christians can be caught saying things like, "I hope karma catches up to him," or simply, "I hope she gets what she deserves." When someone hurts us, or when we see a situation that we judge as unjust, we can be tempted to seek revenge.
Yet, this attitude does not go along with what Christ tells His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew (5:38-39), when He says, "'You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other one as well.'" He goes on to encourage them - and us, His disciples TODAY - to "love your enemies" and "pray for those who persecute you" (verse 44).
This call is not an easy one to answer, but it IS what will help the situation the most. After all, fighting darkness with darkness does no one any good, as we'd all still be blind...especially if we started plucking each other's eyes out. It's ALWAYS better to be the light.

"Then Jesus said to all, 'If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me'" (Luke 9:23).
What does it REALLY mean to take up the Cross of Christ, and even to DIE for Him?
Me. Trying to post this episode and my Internet NOT cooperating, to the point where I have to start all over. (*Screams internally, then offers suffering up for a friend.)
The truth is, though some will be asked by Christ to LITERALLY give their lives for Him - to the point of death - more often than not, carrying His Cross simply entails offering to Him the little, everyday frustrations of living in an imperfect world with imperfect people.
Not the answer you were hoping for? Well, the reality is, even if we don't take up the Cross and choose to die to ourselves in those little moments, it doesn't stop the crosses from coming. So, we may as well offer them to Christ to be used for our good and the salvation of the whole world...because we're going to be carrying them either way.
So, which Simon of Cyrene are you?

ATTENTION: THOSE ABOUT TO GRADUATE COLLEGE.
This episode speaks to many of the concerns that tend to arise near the end of college, such as: -Is it wrong if my friends/friend groups have changed over the years? -What if I have no idea what to do with my major? -What if I have no plan for post-grad?
As some of my very best and wisest friends always say, "If God's got us, then we're gonna be alright." Thankfully, God was not only holding ME throughout my college experience, He's also got a hold on YOU, and He is leading you every step of the way.

ATTENTION: THOSE IN COLLEGE.
This episode will (hopefully) help you navigate nearly every possible thing you could discern about college...AFTER you're already there!
Disclaimer: As in the last episode, you will hear the phrase "for me" many times, as I am sharing mostly from my own experience. I am just here to spread the hope that I desperately needed in college when things got tough or when I was constantly wondering if I would ever find a major (that I would stick with)... God willing, it can help some of you, too.
Note: Part 1 concludes with me declaring a major (for the last time) second semester junior year. See Part 2 for how the rest of my college experience went, as well as what qualms tend to arise during the last year of college in particular.

Disclaimer: You will hear the phrase "for me" countless times in this video and in its ensuing counterparts, as they are based on MY personal experience. God may be leading you in other directions; I simply felt called to share my story in the hopes that it might help someone out there who was as lost as I was when discerning college and everything that goes with it.

What IS trust? And what does it mean to trust IN GOD? And HOW do we do that???
GREAT questions...IMPORTANT questions...NECESSARY questions. Let's start by looking at Scripture to find out. Considering examples of Saints, such as St. Peter, St. John Paul II, and St. Teresa of Calcutta can help, too. Let's not forget our own life experiences, though...after all, WE are called to be the NEXT GREAT SAINTS...and it begins and ends with TRUST.

In this episode, I share about the over-arching theme and driving force of this channel, which is JOY IN HOPE. This corresponds to the beginning of a verse found in St. Paul's Letter to the Romans (12:12), where he writes, "Rejoice in hope..." Lord, may we do so!
Practically speaking, I also share how the Lord reminded me of this through the lesson of learning to become a "fresh wineskin" before we can be ready to receive the "new wine" He has in store for us.

Seasons come and go. Leaves fall; people die. Sometimes we get overwhelmed by the constant changes in our lives - especially when they all seem to pile up at once - and it can be difficult to know how to move forward. I think the movie Frozen 2 does a phenomenal job of answering this question, as well as providing a plethora of other valuable life lessons. Find out why in this episode!

Dun dun DUN!
Maybe that's the vibe you got from the title. Thinking about the end of the world/the Second Coming of Christ can, quite literally, be as scary as Hell. Allow me to offer you hope for why it doesn't have to be...and why it SHOULDN'T be.

***Full disclaimer: I did NOT look this up before making this video and wrongly assumed that the person was a religious sister. SO wrong. Full-fledged priest. Sorry, Father. #humility

I will die one day. YOU will die one day. That is as depressing as Hell (literally, because that's exactly where Death comes from) without considering the ultimate VICTORY that is found in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead...a victory that, one day, will be ours, as well!!!
Do you believe that?

If God can and DOES provide for us in the little ways, then He can and WILL provide for us in the big ones...perhaps He just wants us to be more grateful for and aware of the little things first.

Sometimes, life just sucks. Own it. Don't pretend things are fine when they're not, but don't let it be an excuse to make you bitter, either. Because, the truth is, this is just a chapter in a series of countless books that contain the story of your life.

Lord, Your Eucharistic Heart is so little loved and adored in our modern world...Your dear friend and cousin, John the Baptist, never ceased to speak the Truth, even when it made him unpopular...and even when that led to his death. May we never be afraid to speak the Truth, either, even when people disagree with or persecute us. May this video serve to point people to YOU - all for Your greater glory, O God! Amen.
