    Barbie’s Journey of Empowerment

    Barbie’s Journey of Empowerment

    Welcome to the Wild Crone Wisdom podcast. In this episode, we explore the role of healthy narcissism in our journey of empowerment. In addition, we reflect on what the true purpose of an empowerment journey is about. 


    In this series, we delve into the journey of our spiritual essence having a human experience . While many social scientists study human emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, and others explore transcendental experiences, few bridge the gap to help embody spiritual wisdom in everyday life. I call this the psycho-spiritual path. Through this podcast, I hope to share bite-sized, practical insights for navigating life as an empowered, sovereign being.

    Beyond Belief - Thriving in the Essence of God and Faith (Part 2)

    Hey there, welcome back! 😊

    In this next episode, I'm diving even deeper into something we've all pondered at some point: What does God really mean to me? It's a topic as vast and diverse as humanity itself, with everyone having their own take on it. Join me as I share my personal thoughts and reflections on the matter, inviting you to explore alongside me. 🌟

    But it's not just about God and words— I put out my thoughts on the essence of it all. From contemplating life's origins to wondering what swirls around in our minds as we drift off to sleep, let's further dive into the heart of what connects us all. No matter who we are or where we're from, we share this common thread of curiosity and introspection. 🌍💭

    And let's not forget about faith and belief—I think it's something we all hold on to, even if it's not rooted in a traditional god or spiritual power for you. Where does it come from, this innate sense of belief? What's its origin, and how does it tie into the fabric of our existence? These are the questions I explore in this miniseries, in my quest for understanding and connection. 🤔✨

    So, let's cozy up and take the journey together. Bring your thoughts, your questions, and your open heart as we continue to delve into the depths of existence and what it means to be human. I always like to talk the real talk in my diary and pour out really heartfelt reflections that just might leave you feeling a little more connected to it all. 💬📖

    Father and Joe E350: Unlocking the Mystery of Jesus' Cry: My God Why Have You Abandoned Me?

    Join us for another thought-provoking episode of Father and Joe as Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks delve into a profound exploration of a pivotal moment in Jesus' life. In this episode, they focus on the moment when Jesus utters the poignant prayer, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" while on the cross.

    Joe shares a transformative insight into this passage, challenging conventional interpretations and offering a fresh perspective. Rather than viewing it as an expression of personal distress, Joe suggests that Jesus might have been using this moment as a teaching tool for those around him, including his mother and disciples. This revelation sparks a conversation about the depth of Jesus' understanding of human suffering and his role as a teacher even in the midst of his own agony.

    Father Boniface provides rich theological insights, exploring various interpretations of this crucial moment. He touches on the idea that Jesus, in his humanity, was entering into our experience of forsakenness, offering a unique perspective on the profound connection between Jesus and human suffering. The conversation expands to include reflections on the nature of suffering, loneliness, and the importance of embracing these experiences with faith and hope.

    Join Father and Joe in this enlightening discussion that invites you to contemplate the depth of Jesus' humanity and the profound lessons embedded in his words on the cross. If you seek a deeper understanding of the mysteries of faith and a perspective that combines theological insight with real-life experiences, this episode is a must-listen!

    Patiently Waiting on God's Promises

    Patiently Waiting on God's Promises

    Are you curious about the hidden gems in the Biblical Books of Genesis, Hebrews, and Luke's Gospel?

    Welcome to Your Catholic Corner, where we spiritually prepare for each Sunday's mass midweek each week.

    This week, we focus on Holy Family Sunday - where Abraham and Sarah patiently wait on God's promises and dig into the history of Christmas carols.

    Christmas carols have been around since early Christianity, with the first known hymn written in 336 AD. The tradition of singing and praising evolved, and carols became a staple of the Christmas season.


    Holy Family Sunday, commemorated in the Catholic tradition, honours the family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. 


    The feast was instituted in the 17th century to emphasise family values and model virtuous family life.


    The Bible passages for Holy Family Sunday demonstrate God's promises to the family of Abraham, Sarah, and Jesus' childhood. They highlight the faith and patience of these families and the fulfilment of God's promises.


    Abraham and Sarah were blessed with a son, Isaac, in their old age, fulfilling God's promise to make their descendants as numerous as the stars. The story exemplifies God's ability to make miracles happen.


    The Book of Hebrews recounts how Abraham, in great faith, set out on a journey without knowing the destination, and Sarah, despite her age, was able to conceive, showing their unwavering trust in God.


    In Luke, we learn about Mary and Joseph fulfilling their religious duties by presenting Jesus at the temple. This demonstrates their faith and adherence to their religious obligations.


    The powerful messages from these passages show us the abundant blessings and miracles God can bestow upon families. The feast of Holy Family Sunday encourages us to reflect on the sanctity of the family unit and seek to emulate the love, respect, and support shown by Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.


    If you want to hear more insights and reflect on God’s word, subscribe to Your Catholic Corner and join us in preparing for mass each week. Stay tuned for more spiritual nourishment and practical applications to deepen your relationship with God.


    Genesis 15:1-6; 21:1-3

Our conversation makes me wonder about the core of human connection and what truly matters in our lives. Despite our differences, there's a common thread that unites us all. Is our perception of time significant in the grand scheme of life? Sharing stories becomes a way of caring, a path to understanding and connection.

    Join me in a captivating thought flow that serves as a reminder and an inspiration for me and maybe for you too. We'll explore the question: what can we take away from these interactions? I think by focusing on individual connections and genuine self-awareness, we uncover the essence of the human experience.

    Divine Tools: How God Shaped History from Cyrus to Caesar

    Divine Tools: How God Shaped History from Cyrus to Caesar

    Welcome to Your Catholic Corner - the nexus where ancient wisdom elegantly intertwines with today's burning questions. 

    As you settle in to listen, consider this:   history isn't just a chronicle of past events, but a reservoir of timeless lessons that echo into our present and shape our future. 

    In today's episode, Julie journeys through the corridors of time, retracing the footsteps of a mighty Persian king, reflecting on the unyielding spirit of Thessalonica's earliest believers, and pondering the depth of a single profound statement Jesus made about coins, kings, and kingdoms.

    But why, you may ask, should tales from millennia ago matter to us in an era of digital revolutions and cosmic explorations? 

    Because these narratives, separated by centuries and diverse in context, have an uncanny ability to shed light on our current dilemmas, our quests for meaning, and our yearnings for connection. 


    The Bible - these passages today - offer a compass in a world overflowing with information but often lacking in wisdom.

    So, whether you're tuning in during a quiet evening at home, on a brisk morning walk, or amid the hustle and bustle of your daily commute, Julie invites you to take a pause. 

    Lend God your ears and join Julie by opening your heart to stories not just of ancient people and places, but of timeless truths and transformative power. 

    Dive deep with Julie; explore, question, and maybe, just maybe,  you'll find a piece of the past that illuminates your path forward.

    What is Grace?

    What is Grace?

    In this captivating episode of The Heartbeat of Faith Podcast, we delve deep into the profound concept of grace. As the Bible tells us in John 1:16, "From his fullness, we all received grace upon grace" (WEB). Join your host, Dr. Andrew Farley, as he guides us through the scriptures and explores the transformative power of God's grace. Through engaging narratives and insightful passages, we'll unravel the true essence of grace, why it holds immense power, and how it empowers us in our everyday lives.

    Sign up for free devotionals on each episode at https://www.HeartbeatOfFaith.com 

    In a world where grace is undeserved but lavishly given by God, we are encouraged to extend that same grace to others. Just as Jesus didn't treat us as we deserved, we are inspired to honor, respect, and love others, regardless of their apparent worthiness. By extending grace to those around us, we can evoke the best in them, just as grace has brought out the best in us.
