I reflect on how I tell myself "I'm Not" when I feel ashamed and guilty, how using "And" is important for me, and that "I Am" can help ground me in the truth so that I can love others well.
Jesus says in John 14:6, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." I reflect on each of these three parts in this episode about how Jesus models how to live life with authority in John's gospel.
I've learned a lot about how to handle conflict from reading Luke's Gospel. Some of what I've learned is in this episode. Enjoy!
In this episode, I'm sharing how I came to know God's love through a parish retreat during my college days and how giving talks on the retreat team helped me recognize how Jesus is the ideal person after whom I model my life.
Today is a recap episode where I look back on the previous 9 lessons and look at what I'm learning. Perhaps every 10th lesson I'll look back and see what I'm learning about how I'm "life-ing."
This episode is about the most transformational week of my life in my school years (grades K-12). It happened at Econ Camp!! The program was called Economics for Leaders, and it was put on by the Foundation for Teaching Economics. I left that week feeling inspired, and looking back on that week reminded me of how incredible it was to learn how to find extraordinary lessons in the ordinary events of life.
Yahooooooo for my first outdoor run of two thousand twenty-run!! :) Running helps me connect to my voice when I lose my way. Finding my voice through running is the topic this time around.
This time I'm sharing how a STAR weekend (a program for junior high students that promoted a drug-free lifestyle) and the Down on the Farm retreat helped me figure out what I wanted to do with my life.
The vulnerability factor is high for this episode! This time I share how voices I paid attention to in my religious upbringing impacted me.
This episode of the voice lessons series contains memories and significant events of my early childhood and my K-12 school days.
Over the next several episodes, I'll be giving voice to my story and looking at where I've been in my life. This episode starts with looking at growing up on a farm.
This episode explores times that I use my voice well, times that I don't use it well, and trying to use it for loving purposes now and in the future.
Today begins what I'll call my first podcast series entitled "Voice Lessons." I shared how I'm working on recognizing the value of my voice in the world, and I hope it helps others recognize the value of their own in some small way.
It's fun to get presents, but being present to others is a fantastic gift we can give to others.
For this episode, I share my understanding of what dignity is as well as recognizing the dignity of others and myself.
In the inaugural episode, I share how my life has been marked by crosses from girl to grown-up and connect my experiences and sacrifices of running cross country to sacrifices of Jesus on the cross. How might you sacrifice this week for the benefit of another? I'm sacrificing for the well-being of my family, among other intentions this week.
