In one religious woman whom Kathryn knew, this space had collapsed. This woman always thought that she had no faith, even though she clung to religion and the Catholic Church. As she began to focus less on her lack of faith and more on those she was serving, she gained confidence in what she was being called to do. We cannot rely completely on our religious practice to tell us everything we need to know about God. Religion is meant to support...2025-01-0828 minThe Interior Life Podcast by Kathryn Clarke: A Backpack ProductionEpisode 18: FaithFaith. A mustard seed. The important things in life.

Don't think that because there isn't a rule for something, you are getting away with it. Kathryn portrays this by telling a story about a young waitress dealing with a difficult colleague. If, in your conscience, you disagree with someone or something, don't let it be a reason to pause on your own spiritual journey. Kathryn shares more on conscience, becoming more of your own person, and transforming in Christ.
