Do you go to Catholic Mass but feel like you’re just going through the motions?
Does Catholicism feel like an empty religion — standing, sitting, kneeling, saying the prayers, and leaving still feeling disconnected from God?
Do you wish you could understand the Mass in a way that leads to an encounter with Christ?
In this episode, we’re doing a Bible study on God’s presence in the Catholic Mass. We’ll look at Scripture to understand the truth of Jesus’ presence so instead of feeling disconnected from God, you can be spiritually renewed by the truth of His presence.
If you were raised in the Catholic faith but find yourself just going through the motions at Mass, I pray this strengthens your faith!

Are you a Christian mom struggling with overwhelming thoughts, anxiety, or feeling disconnected from peace and joy? In this episode we’re learning how to hold onto peace, love, and joy through Scripture, even when life feels loud and heavy.
In Episode 3 of the From Overwhelmed to Anchored in Jesus series, we talk about how our minds can quickly become a battlefield — and why God’s Word is the anchor we need when our thoughts spiral. You’ll hear honest reflections on imposter syndrome, spiritual distraction, and how subtle lies can pull us away from God’s peace and purpose.
Together, we’ll walk through powerful Bible verses for anxiety, peace, joy, and purpose, including Isaiah 26:3, Philippians 4:6–7, John 15, and Romans 8:28 — and learn how to use Scripture as a daily tool to combat overwhelming thoughts and emotions.
In this episode, you’ll learn:• Why Scripture is essential for overcoming overwhelm and anxiety• How peace, love, joy, and purpose are spiritual realities — not emotions• How to shift your focus from spiraling thoughts to God’s truth• Practical ways to speak Scripture over your mind and home
