Do you need a break?!? What would that look like if you were offered REST? What would you do? Or not do? It's important to remember that our Good Shepherd calls us to lie down in green pastures (Ps 23:2). Sometimes rest feels like a reward and sometimes rest feels out of reach. What does it usually take for you to feel rested? When's the last time you felt that way? We can't wait to chat with you! Join the convo Tuesday LIVE at 1pm ET 🗓️ at connect.blessedisshe.net.

In today's video, we just want to pray with you! Join us in a short chat about our inner rooms and how we can converse with the Lord continually throughout our daily lives.

Feeling overwhelmed by your to-do list? Feeling anxious about all the things on your plate? When was the last time you prayed? 📅 In this clip from Q&A, we explore how to bring your busy life to the Lord, asking Him what to keep and what to detach from. By prioritizing prayer over productivity, we can remember that it's God who gives us our worth, not how much we get done. Want to join these conversations LIVE?

​.... but I'm too busy! How many times have we found ourselves using our business as an excuse for why we can't do things? When you're greeted by a friend and asked how you're doing, is your answer along the lines of "I'm good, just busy.." ? You're not alone, friend. Being busy seems like a norm or standard for feeling productive. But at what expense? We want to take a sec from our busy lives to chat with you and invite you to *rest* How do you handle feeling overwhelmingly busy? Do you have boundaries that you've implemented so that being busy doesn't become your identity? We'd love to hear from you! Join the convo Tuesday at 1pm ET 🗓️ connect.blessedisshe.net New here?

[TGP Clip] It's easy to zone out or struggle with wandering thoughts (or even anxieties!) during Mass. Maybe you leave bored or tired, thinking: "Does God actually have anything to offer me in the Mass?" He does — Himself, fully present in the Eucharist. In this podcast clip, Beth and Jenna dive into just how God is present and loving toward us in the Mass through the Eucharist. He waits for you to show up completely as you are so He can grow in relationship with you — and we'll give you some tips so you can experience His love for yourself.
