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 experience the power of the resurrection in your own life? How can we make resurrection a daily reality in our hearts, minds, and actions? How can we allow God to breathe new life into those places where we feel stuck, tired, or discouraged? This week, let’s reflect on the daily reality of living the resurrection—how it transforms our hearts, minds, and actions. Let’s encourage each other to embrace the newness Christ offers and help one another walk in the freedom and hope of His resurrection every day.

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-day life? What role does prayer, accountability, or friendship play in helping us remain faithful to His call? As we gather this week, let’s reflect on the deeper invitation of following Jesus—not just when it's convenient, but always. Let’s encourage each other to remain close to Him and to trust Him with every step, knowing He will never leave us. Let’s chat about what it means to walk with Jesus, wherever He leads.

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 you recognize when your focus has shifted? How do you remind yourself to stay present with Jesus, especially when life feels busy or scattered? As we gather together, let’s reflect on the ways we can reclaim our attention and focus our hearts on Christ. Let’s share tips, wisdom, and encouragement for supporting each other in this pursuit, knowing that even small steps can bring us closer to Jesus.

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 could be a thought pattern, an old hurt, or a particular distraction.

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. Let's chat about the need to Slow Down During Lent, how to recognize Peace in the Midst of Daily Life, and of course practicing patience and trust in God's timing. What are some practical Ways to live Slow and Steady? How can we rely on God’s grace to strengthen our hearts and minds, especially when we feel like we’re not moving fast enough? As we reflect on how we can cultivate a peaceful, steady heart during Lent, we invite you to share your thoughts and experiences!! What are some small steps you’re taking to embrace the slow and steady rhythm of grace this season?

In our busy, always-connected lives, it can be hard to find moments of true silence—yet it’s in silence that we can hear God’s voice and deepen our relationship with Him. 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! We will also look into breaking free from distractions and dare we say it, living out silence as a family (or with our loved ones). As always, we want to hear your thoughts and experiences of embracing the stillness. How can we “turn down the volume” in our lives this Lent to hear God more clearly and grow deeper in faith?

As we prepare to walk with Christ through His Passion and Resurrection, let’s talk about how we can stay focused and faithful during this sacred time.

We'd love to continue to walk with you every Tuesday LIVE in our Member Community: connect.blessedisshe.net. Let’s support each other in growing closer to Christ and becoming more focused, faithful, and resilient this season.

Finishing our mini series on L🫶🏽VE in the month of February. Once we are convicted to love fully and the way Christ modeled it for us, howwww do we actually live this out with patience and trust in God's timing? There's an older saying (and song) that says "only fools rush in" but if love requires patience, how do we slow down and let the story unfold?

Continuing our mini series on L🫶🏽VE in the month of February. Okay, but how do we love when the feelings simply aren't there? How can we move past negative feelings of anger, frustration, betrayal, etc.? Is it even possible or worth it? The Lord will do a work in our hearts if we simply let Him. And yes, it is possible to love even when we don't feel like it. Let us learn from one another (and ultimately Jesus!) on how we can achieve this.

Change is _________. (fill in the blank) Whether it's exciting, refreshing, terrifying or uncomfortable, the important thing to remember is that our openness to change is a reflection of our trust in the Lord.

Let's chat about what this openness can look like and how the Lord can always do NEW things, even if they're unexpected or beyond our comprehension.

There is a growing, burning desire in my heart to live more radically for the Lord. To love Him more lavishly, to trust Him with everything, to be wildly obedient to His will. And this man, Fr. Innocent Montgomery, CFR, shows me how. On this very special episode of the Gathering Place podcast, I chat with Fr. Innocent about journeying into the desert with Jesus and his brothers, the annual pilgrimage that inspired our new Lenten devotional for men, Born of Fire.

S8 E9 · Fri, January 21, 2022
Jenna went into labor on the day we were supposed to finish recording season 9 of the podcast, so Fr. John Parks came to the rescue! Our incredible spiritual advisor sat down for a chat about all things spiritual direction which of course means we ended up talking all about prayer (the best). If you've ever wondered about spiritual direction, been on the hunt for an ace spiritual director, or tried to start (or restart) a prayer routine, this episode is for you. Watch over on Youtube or find us anywhere you listen to podcasts. And stay tuned next week for the last episode of this season of the Gathering Place with FP. Any guesses what S word we'll be talking about??
Tue, January 18, 2022
He's taking care of it.
S8 E8 · Thu, January 13, 2022
This one is close to the heart for us. Jenna and I both suffered so much and so long with sexual sin and we want you to know that if you have too, you're not alone. That if you are struggling now, you are not alone. Whether it's in your past or in this moment, Jesus wants you to know that He is a Savior, Healer, and Deliverer. He came to save you. He wants to heal you. He will deliver you. We'd love to share our stories and pray that the grace of God washes over you on this week's episode of the Gathering Place. Watch over on Youtube or listen on your podcast app. Then share it with a friend? We can't wait for you both to come out of the darkness and step into His light right alongside us.Here's to healing and wholeness in Jesus' name, ❤️BD
Tue, January 11, 2022
You have never been alone!💕
S8 E7 · Thu, January 06, 2022
All the love you're looking for can be found in that little white Host. Just in case you've never heard this, Jesus Himself is alive and present in the Most Holy Eucharist. Every Mass, He makes Himself truly present - Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity - to you, for you.He remains in the tabernacle after every Mass to be visited and consoled, to love and heal you. Go to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. He is waiting to receive you there.

Feeling burnt out from all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season? Or maybe you're feeling spent from a long year lived at a fast pace.

You can enjoy your life, love your people, pray with more affection and devotion, and walk in peace and purpose. How? Let us introduce you to Sabbath rest. This week on the Gathering Place podcast, Jenna and Beth talk about learning how to rest well and how setting apart the Sabbath brings freedom.

You won't regret giving God (and yourself) this sacred time.
S8 E5 · Thu, December 23, 2021
Permission to slow down granted. Have you been feeling the pressure to get it all done, figure it all out, do it all perfectly - even in prayer? You weren't made for stress and overly committed schedules, you were made for rest. And if you've been feeling exhausted, discouraged, or frazzled, consider this your sign to scale back all of the doing and learn to just be.
