The Gathering Place, a Podcast from Blessed is She

To love is to give, to pour yourself out without reservation. But how do we do that without burning out or losing ourselves in the process? In this visit, we’ll talk about how Jesus teaches us to love sacrificially, and how a woman rooted in Him can offer her life generously—and joyfully.

Come if you're feeling stretched thin and need a reminder of why your love matters. Where is God calling you to be poured out right now, a...

Do you ever struggle to see yourself the way God sees you? In a world that is quick to critique and slow to affirm, it can be hard to live with confidence in your God-given identity. This visit is about learning to receive yourself—your story, your body, your heart—with wonder, as a gift created on purpose, for a purpose.

What parts of yourself do you find hardest to receive as a gift? What would change if you did? Come be remin...

What does it mean that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist—not symbolically, not metaphorically, but wholly and completely? In this first session of our June series, we’ll contemplate the stunning truth of Christ’s gift of Himself in the Blessed Sacrament.

 We’ll visit and talk about what it means to be a woman who receives Him regularly, who hungers for Him, and who allows herself to be nourished and changed by Him.✨ Come if yo...

As we close out this May series, take a quiet moment to reflect:

Who are you nurturing in faith—and who’s nurturing you? How are you nurturing those that the Lord has placed in your care either physically, emotionally or spiritually?

This week, Beth and Steph will guide us through a tender and powerful conversation about becoming spiritual mothers. Whether you have children of your own or not, God calls every woman to mother—to nurtu...

As we settle into this week, pause and ask yourself:

What’s sustaining you right now—and is it enough to bear fruit?

Join Jenna and Steph as we explore what it looks like to be planted by streams—rooted in God’s Word, nourished by His presence, and able to bear fruit in every season, even the hard ones.

Whether you feel like you’re thriving or just barely holding on, the invitation is the same: come and be planted.

✨ What kind of fruit...

As we enter a new week together, take a moment to consider:

Is your faith a trickle… or a spring overflowing with life?

This week, Beth and Steph will lead us in a conversation about what it means to develop a faith that overflows—not just enough for ourselves, but enough to pour out into the lives around us. When we stay rooted in Christ, His Spirit wells up within us, bringing joy, strength, and renewal.

Come ready to be stirred, st...

As we gather for this week’s live session, we invite you to pause and reflect:

Where in your life are you feeling dry, weary, or in need of refreshment?

This week, join Jenna and Beth as we talk about what it means to get in touch with your thirst for God. Like the woman at the well, we each carry deep longings—and Jesus meets us right there, offering living water.

Come ready to be real, to reflect, and to receive.
✨ What are you t...

As baptized followers of Christ, we are all called to be missionaries! This week, we reflect on what it means to live as missionaries in our everyday lives—whether at home, work, or in our communities. Jesus' Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) invites us to go out and make disciples, but it also calls us to live in a way that reflects the love and hope of the Gospel. How can we embrace our mission to share Christ with others, ...

The resurrection of Jesus is not just an event that happened once; it’s the foundation of our daily life in Christ. This week, we’re reflecting on what it means to live in the newness of the resurrection every single day. How can we embrace the transformative power of Jesus’ victory over death, allowing it to shape the way we live, love, and hope?

Jesus’ resurrection brought new life, not just for Him, but for all of us. How do you ...

Jesus calls us to follow Him—not just in the moments that are easy or comfortable, but wherever He leads. This week, we’re reflecting on what it means to truly remain with Jesus, to walk beside Him through both the joys and the challenges of life. How can we trust Him enough to follow wherever He goes, knowing He is always with us?

What does it mean to you to "remain with Jesus"? How do you stay close to Him in your day-to...

In a world full of distractions, it can be challenging to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. This week, we’re focusing on reclaiming our attention—shifting our gaze from the noise around us to the presence of Christ. How can we, as women of faith, actively choose where to direct our focus and bring our hearts back to what truly matters?

What are some of the biggest distractions in your life that pull your attention away from God? How do ...

We’re focusing on making space for growth and renewal in our spiritual lives. Just as we clean out our homes to welcome the fresh air of spring, we are invited to do the same for our souls. How can we clear away distractions, old wounds, or unhealthy habits to make room for Jesus to work in us?

What’s one area of your life where you feel called to "declutter" or let go of something that is holding you back spiritually? It ...

Lent is a season of growth, but it’s not about rushing or overwhelming ourselves. It’s about slowing down, being intentional, and allowing God to transform us at a steady pace. In a world that constantly urges us to move faster, Lent invites us to cultivate peace in our hearts, trusting that spiritual growth comes through patience and persistence.

Join us for this Q&A as we discuss the power of silence in our spiritual lives, practical ways to turn down the volume (bye-bye apps?), the gift of solitude - and we get it, sometimes it feels more like a curse than a gift!
