Catholic Mindset Podcast: Recent Episodes
Alejandro Servalli
Catholic Mindset Podcast is inspired by Genesis 1:27-28, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them When." We read these words, and we tend to focus only on our bodies and forget that our minds are also made in the image of God. Sometimes we let our minds consume us instead of realizing that it is part of our creation to serve our pursuit of God in an attempt to sanctify our lives and imitate Christ Jesus. In this podcast project, among other things, we will explore concepts in a way that hopefully inspires our minds, hearts, and souls to think more like our Father and His son Christ Jesus. God bless!

Today talk to Ivhanna Gil about her journey as a Catholic musician. We talk about how it all started. Ivhanna is a Latin American singer/songwriter. She combines her church roots with a twist of modern pop/Afro beat.
She has an authentic, down to earth, and fun sound to her music. She has been singing since the age of 4, and songwriting since 11. She navigates her songs as a storyteller versus as a performer. She hopes to inspire others to let go of baggage and grow closer to God through her music.

One in every six United States couples experiences infertility but Catholic couples face additional confusion, worry, and frustration as they explore the medical options available to them. Filling a major void in Catholic resources, The Infertility Companion for Catholics is the first book to address not only the medical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of infertility, but also the particular needs of Catholic couples who desire to understand and follow Church teaching on the use of assisted reproductive technology.
Authors Angelique Ruhi-López and Carmen Santamaría offer the support and wisdom gained in their own struggles with infertility. They describe the options that Catholic couples can pursue in seeking to conceive, many of which are not ordinarily presented by the medical community. In an encouraging and non-judgmental tone, they address both husbands and wives and help them recognize the emotional impact of infertility on their relationship.
The Infertility Companion for Catholics presents a variety of spiritual resources including prayers, devotions, and the wisdom of the saints and provides suggestions for further reading of reference materials, Catholic documents, and Catholic blogs about infertility.

In today's podcast, we have Carmen and Alejandro Santamaria. This married couple teaches NFP Natural Family Planning. NFP uses God's amazing design to plan for a family by learning and measuring a woman's natural cycle. They especially use the NFP Sympto-Thermal method. Join us to learn about NFP, not NFTs, Lol.
Natural family planning (NFP) is fertility awareness, which is simply knowledge of a couple’s fertility. It is a means of reading the body’s signs of fertility and infertility; applying this knowledge through the Sympto-Thermal Method (STM) is over 99% effective in postponing pregnancy. A married couple’s virtuous application of this knowledge either to try to achieve a pregnancy or to postpone a pregnancy is called responsible parenthood.
Practicing NFP is 100% natural — there are no drugs, chemicals or devices involved, which is one reason many today find it to be a positive and refreshing alternative to contraceptive methods. NFP honors our dignity as persons by respecting the natural rhythms and functions of the body. It is very common to hear couples who use NFP speak of an increased awe and respect for femininity and their mutual fertility, and a greater sense of empowerment through self-knowledge.
