2021-05-0531 minTreasures in Heaven26. We're All Financially INTERdependent + Is it OK to be rich?What is financial interdependence? First of all, it's not specifically a Catholic term (aka not from the Catechism or the Bible); rather, it's a way of thinking that I invite you to consider. It's an acknowledgment that even if we're so-called "financially independent" (aka, don't have to work to pay bills) or "financially dependent" (aka, we rely on someone else to pay bills), we're all actually financially interdependent. We all still rely on God and on each other regardless of our financial state in life. Mentioned: Episode 25: 7 Things to Know Before You Start Investing as a C...

2021-01-2528 minTreasures in Heaven20. Writing Catholic Novels ft. Carolyn AstfalkCatholic novelist Carolyn Astalk shares her journey to becoming a published author, while also being a wife and the mom of 4 kids. I think you'll find Carolyn's work to be relatable and relevant because she's not afraid to write about characters who deal with issues that many Catholics (and non-Catholics alike) have faced but won't talk about, like infidelity and pornography addiction. Yet, the beauty in all of this is how she shows us that we're all still lovable and capable of loving others. Her characters give an amazing example of how to live that out. Carolyn lives in...

Loving, kind, caring, humble, you name it. I'm reminded of Edith Stein's quote: "The world doesn't need what women have, it needs what women are." Since I know we don't just have female listeners, I will say that this quote applies to everyone. The world needs what you are! I'm going to talk about the difference between to-do lists and to-be lists and...
