Listen "Heaven's Group Chat: Walking with Humans on Earth AND Heaven"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textHave you ever felt the unmistakable presence of someone walking beside you during life's most challenging moments? In this heartfelt conversation, we dive into the extraordinary companions who have shaped our spiritual journeys – both the saints in heaven and the ordinary people on earth who've guided us through uncertainty and joy.We share how our relationship with the saints transformed from distant historical figures to intimate spiritual companions during our season of infertility and medical struggles. Saint Faustina's honest spiritual diary taught us to suffer well, while Saint Thérèse's "little way" showed us how to find God in life's simplest moments. The tangible signs of their intercession – like roses appearing at pivotal moments of discernment – remind us that heaven is actively involved in our earthly journey.Saint Peter's story of repeated failures and ultimate leadership resonates deeply with those of us who get in our own way spiritually, while Saint Joseph's quiet, behind-the-scenes faithfulness offers a counterbalance for those who crave recognition. Beyond the canonized saints, we explore how ordinary people like Grandma Josie, Mr. Rogers, and C.S. Lewis have profoundly shaped our understanding of faith through their examples of genuine love, emotional intelligence, and intellectual curiosity.As we prepare for major life transitions – a new home, a baby on the way – we're discovering that slowing down and recognizing God's presence in our current circumstances might be more important than constantly seeking the next spiritual achievement. The "humans of heaven" remind us that holiness comes in countless forms, and that we're never truly alone on this journey of faith.Ready to discover the saints and spiritual companions waiting to walk alongside you? Join us for this intimate conversation about the cloud of witnesses that surrounds us all.An exclusive from Dery Media Podcasts.
