Ep. 18 - Allison Gingras "God uses our simplest 'yes'!"

It takes energy to be a mom, let alone a disciple!

If you're a mom, you undoubtedly know how it feels to be tired, drained, exhausted and like you have next-to-nothing left to give. How are we supposed to live as disciples, making other disciples when we physically just don't have it in us?! Brittany Pearson, HealthyCatholicMoms.com [https://healthycatholicmoms.com] and the Healthy Catholic Moms Podcast [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/healthy-catholic-moms/id1504539909], understands you, momma, and she's got your back! Working with moms across the country to reclaim their vitality, energy and overall health, so they can live in the vocation of motherhood and as a disciple of Jesus Christ. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Brittany is a Catholic wife to her wonderful husband, Ben, a homeschooling mom to FIVE energetic boys ages 9 down to 9 months, and is the owner of the Catholic fitness community, "Healthy Catholic Moms." Fun facts: she and her husband met while working as personal trainers; she has a Masters in Theology; she chooses concerts over physical gifts every time; and she loves good hikes, good coffee, and good humor! website: https://www.healthycatholicmoms.com/ [https://www.healthycatholicmoms.com/] IG: https://www.instagram.com/healthycatholicmoms [https://www.instagram.com/healthycatholicmoms]

Not all "motherhood" looks the same: Music, Spirituality and Parenting with God

Alison Powell is a beloved daughter of the Diocese of Gary, where she was born and raised. She now serves as a worship leader and parish music director while raising her daughter, Beatrix, as a widow. Prayerfully, she has been blessed to lead music in the Holy Land, Rome, and on mission in Mexico City, as well as at conferences such as Ascend and Emmaus. Her greatest joy is leading others into an encounter with Jesus—awakening hearts to His presence in the ordinary and the sacred alike. In quiet moments, she enjoys collecting books, hiking, and spending time with her mini poodle, Nard. *Also here is a link to the testimony Alison gave on the Hallow app: https://hallow.app.link/rQXG0tXPW2b [https://hallow.app.link/rQXG0tXPW2b] *And a Spotify playlist "Intro To Praise and Worship": https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3drOcWNGPT7GNgs8OCn8zb?si=KjflifIyQeiDFW3EPsZhrQ&pi=8aMqGsWMSjSjC [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3drOcWNGPT7GNgs8OCn8zb?si=KjflifIyQeiDFW3EPsZhrQ&pi=8aMqGsWMSjSjC]

Glory, Glory, Alleluia!

We're getting back to the Fruits of the Rosary in this episode. The Glorious Mysteries and their fruits! Learn how a Polish priest in confession taught me how to turn to Mary, praying the rosary and specifically focusing on these fruits. I am just completely amazed by the ways Mary calls me into a deeper relationship with her Son, Jesus Christ, as I increase my devotion to her and pray the rosary.
