A Seeking Heart with guest, Julianne Stanz

In this episode, Allison welcomes Start with Jesus author, Juilanne Stanz.

  • Speaks to people in the pews (the everyday Catholic) calling according to their Baptism to be missionary disciple, an evangelist, a witness. Perhaps these seem like confusing terms, Julianne simply explains and empowers.
  • The blessings of the "great pause" of the pandemic (while still acknowledging the pain and suffering which accompanied it as well).
  • Are you a "tabernacle with feet?"
  • An interesting take on one of my favorite quotes from #SaintPosse favorite Ven. Patrick Peyton "The Parish that Prays Together Stays Together." Praying with others can be awkward and even uncomfortable but when lead by the Spirit is awe-inspiring and powerful!
  • Each chapter offers a "Taking Action" section a place to breathe life into what we've learned or experienced in the text.

A Seeking Heart - Julianne Stanz

  In this episode, Allison is blessed by a return visit by author, Julianne Stanz to discuss her new book,   Braving the Thin Places: Celtic Wisdom to Create a Space for Grace  (Loyola Press).  Discussed: Just what is a 'thin place"? Why this incredible book took 20 years to write The fascinating Celtic traditions surrounding one's passing We dive deeper into G.R.A.C.E. — gratitude, rest, acceptance, cultivating hospitality, and embracing stillness. Discovering the difference between a soul friend and the hi-jacked term of soul-mate; do you have someone mirroring God's grace in your life? Braving the Thin Places is one of the most unique and fascinating books I've read in a long time, and given I read at least a book a week for the past 7 years, that is saying something!
