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.

Ep. 17 - What is the fruit?...and how do I get it?

Perhaps it is not as surprising to you as it is to me - how was I 40 years old before I knew their were "Fruits" of the rosary? Much like the fruits of the Holy Spirit, these wonderful virtues are blessings we can obtain through praying the mysteries of the holy rosary! I have prayed the rosary in various ways throughout my childhood and adult life. I attended Catholic grammar and high school... and I was either snoozing through these lessons, or just totally missed learning about it all together. In this episode, learn about the Luminous Mysteries of the rosary, instituted by Saint Pope John Paul II in the early 2000s. (spoiler alert, you were probably in high school... maybe even a Catholic HS and didn't know this was happening).
