Is purgatory a place or a Person? Afraid of suffering and purification? Be free from the fear of God's punishment and delve into the mysteries of sanctification with me in this episode of our series on Christian freedom. Discover purgatory not as a fiery torture chamber of punishment, but as God's purifying love, as I share how our Heavenly Father healed me from a rage-fueled father wound in this truth. Explore what the Bible calls...

Should we fear death? Why do we? "Memento Mori" is the ancient practice of remembering death, and how Christ’s resurrection turns it into a hopeful transition (Phil 1:21, "to die is gain"). Probe the mystery of Jesus’ descent to the dead, the Church’s teachings on near-death experiences, reincarnation, pre-existing souls, and a cautious perspective on psychedelics, marrying centuries of timeless wisdom from the Church Fathers an...

Does God want to scare us?  Death. Judgment. Hell. My own or someone else's. This is what most Christians fear the most. But fear of God and The Last Things is about punishment. And the Bible says there is no punishment in love. What does it mean to "fear" God, if "there is no fear in love" (1 Jn 4:18)?Unpack the shift from fear to love, exploring death, judgment, heaven, and purgatory as a journey of purifying love. Embrace the Ho...

How do I make godly decisions when my needs or preferences clash with someone else's, especially someone who is important to me, such as my spouse or parents? Using the principle of edification over gratification from 1 Corinthians 8, we learn when to put others’ spiritual growth (e.g., avoiding scandal with meat offered to idols) above self-interest, and when to LEAN IN to self-interest (e.g., doom scrolling). Sonja shares her con...

What’s okay to eat and drink? Can I EVER eat cake if I’m diabetic, or drink alcohol if I struggle with temperance? Should I veil or not? Charismatic or traditional? TLM or Novus Ordo? How does a Christian make godly decisions in specific situations when the Bible and the church are unclear, or such "rules" are imposed by others?  If you’re stuck in your own or someone else’s spiritual minutiae of “you should or you have to or you m...

It's pretty rare to see or hear about spiritual bypassing in Catholic clerical or professional circles. It’s often completely unheard of and/or misunderstood by those of us with faith who are trying to heal, and this is part of why we get stuck...

When you feel lost in darkness and dryness and like God has suddenly "left the building" after an extended time of fruitful prayer; when you don't understand your neighbor's rude rigid faith and she is criticizing your Christian freedom; when you wonder how the road look...

John Paul the Great told us, "In treating the human person as a psychological and physical 'whole', the Old Testament often links 'moral' sufferings with the pain of specific parts of the body: the bones, kidneys, liver, viscera, heart. In fact one cannot deny that moral sufferings have a 'phys...

Yes, He is that respectful of your free will. Your mind is the battlefield, and if you don't fight, the lies win. You will never have peace. You...

Get your copy of Love Heals here and participate with us in the Book Club.  In Love Heals I state, "You don't need to be fixed; you just need to be healed." What's the difference? Freedom. Gentleness. Patience. Peace. Love. Don't you need that? It seems too obvious to state, but machines and organisms differ fundamentally. We don’t “heal” machines, we “fix” them. Living things heal according to their nature; “healing” is organic. T...

Get your copy of Love Heals here and participate with us in the Book Club.  If 80-90% of all physical issues have emotional and spiritual roots as research indicates, then it's imperative to address those in healing the whole person. Besides unforgiveness, judgments are - in my opinion - the biggest block to healing, because they blind us to inherent contradictory truths in ourselves and others that need acceptance and illumination...

Where we end here limits and determines our "there..." (Eccl 11:3). Bracing against and ignoring pain does not protect you from it. It simply delays and compounds the inevitable confrontation and makes the struggle more difficult. In the meantime, we stay trapped in hurt and...

As Catholics, we know that God gave us our hearts and our emotions for a reason. But what do we do when those dark, negative feelings bubble up, especially in a pop quiz when they're super strong?.Eruptions? Vomit? Pretending? How do we really feel our emotio...

Get your copy of Love Heals here and participate with us in the Book Club.  Feelings and thoughts are energy that affect the body and vice versa. When confronted with difficult emotions, most people employ maladaptive ways for coping with undesirable feelings, such as self-medicating or denial.  Although maladaptive coping mechanisms offer relief in the moment, they lead to illness; they do not facilitate the long-term improvement ...

Healing is your rightful inheritance as a child of God through Jesus Christ. We must learn to receive and give authentic love--heart, soul, mind, and strength--the first and greatest commandment according to Jesus in Mark 12:30. "Healing is an essential dimension of the apostolic mission and of C...

In order to finally and fully heal from pain and illness we must all become consciously aware of various issues in our personal development, subconscious conflicts, and how we have learned to deal with stress. Thoughts and emotions are energy. If they aren’t processed and able to flow freely through us, they accumulate. And where they accumulate in the body is the message in our pain. Here are a few specific illnesses and parts of ...

Let me guess. You terrorize yourself with this type of catastrophizing thought on a frequent or regular basis: I’m going to feel this way forever. I will never be out of pain/fatigue/sickness. The pain will never end. I have GOT to figure this out. I’ve tried everything and nothing works. What is my pain level? Is it worse or better? What about now? I feel a little better, but what about tomorrow? Is that a new symptom? W...

Why do you feel so invisible and spiritually depleted? You need a daily LOVE encounter with Jesus. You need daily nourishment from the "one table of the Lord" (CCC 103).  “You are invited to an encounter with Jesus, Word of God made flesh, as an event of grace that runs through the reading and the hearing of the Sacred Scriptures” (The Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church).
