  • Episode 50: Generosity
    Join Lisa and Laura as they continue a four-part series on the Feminine Genius. There are four components in the feminine genius: receptivity, sensitivity, generosity, and maternity. Each week, through the writings of Saint Edith Stein, personal stories, and the Word of God, Lisa and Laura will unpack one of these components. This is week three, and we are diving into generosity! Sounds lovely enough, but the reality is that this call to generosity is countercultural, and not as easy as we’d like to believe. Why should women buy into generosity, and what are its obstacles? You’ll have to tune in to find out. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Malachi 3:10–11: Bring the full tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house; and thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing. I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil; and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Colossians 3:17: And whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Matthew 25:35–36: For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison, and you came to me. Luke 10:38–42: Jesus Visits Martha and Mary Acts 20:35: It is more blessed to give than to receive. Matthew 10:8: Freely you have received; freely give. (NIV) Matthew 25:40: As you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me. Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection. What are your greatest obstacles to being generous? Use the questions from Jan Johnson as your guide:  Am I serving to impress anyone? Am I serving to receive external rewards? Is my service affected by moods and whims? Am I using this service to feel good about myself? Am I using my service to muffle God’s voice demanding I change? Our presenting sponsor is Hallow. Hallow is the #1 prayer and meditation app dedicated to helping you grow closer to God and find peace with thousands of guided prayers and meditations.

  • Episode 49: Sensitivity
    Join Lisa and Laura as they kick off the new year with a brand new four-part series: Feminine Genius. There are four components in the feminine genius: receptivity, sensitivity, generosity, and maternity. Each week, through the writings of Saint Edith Stein, personal stories, and the Word of God, Lisa and Laura will unpack one of these components. This is week two, and it’s all about sensitivity! Do you struggle with being too sensitive? What if we told you that women who are sensitive to the inner workings of their hearts are likely to be sensitive to the hearts of other people? Sensitivity is not a flaw, it is a gift. So go on and grab your coffee, and settle in, as we unwrap the gift of our sensitive hearts! Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Galatians 6:2–5: Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load. (NIV) Open your Bible to Scriptures referenced in this episode. Luke 10:41: The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.” Matthew 11:28: Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Psalm 22: The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. (Douay-Rheims) Romans 12:15: Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. (NIV) 1 Peter 3:8: Finally, all of you, be of one mind, sympathetic, loving toward one another, compassionate, humble. Galatians 5:22–23: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. Colossians 3:12: Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. (NIV) Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection. Is there a load I am carrying for a loved one that I need to lay down? If so, write it down.  Write down Colossians 3:12 and look at the qualities: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Ask which of these qualities am I short on supply? (If you are brave and open to receiving the answer without being defensive, ask a spouse or close friend.) Ask God to increase this quality/virtue in you. Our presenting sponsor is Hallow. Hallow is the #1 prayer and meditation app dedicated to helping you grow closer to God and find peace with thousands of guided prayers and meditations. Hallow offers daily prayers with Scripture, contemplation, sleep prayers, rosaries, and so much more, making it a great resource for growing closer to God in 2025.

  • Episode 48: Receptivity
    Welcome to Season 2 of Hope for Right Now: A Walking with Purpose Podcast. This week Lisa and Laura kick off the new year with a brand new four-part series: Feminine Genius. Saint John Paul II coined the phrase “feminine genius” in his open letter titled, Mulieris Dignitatem (On the Dignity and Vocation of Women). In it he writes:  “The Church gives thanks for all the manifestations of the feminine ‘genius’ which have appeared in the course of history, in the midst of all peoples and nations; she gives thanks for all the charisms which the Holy Spirit distributes to women in the history of the People of God, for all the victories which she owes to their faith, hope and charity: she gives thanks for all the fruits of feminine holiness.”  There are four components in the feminine genius: receptivity, sensitivity, generosity, and maternity. Each week, through the writings of Saint Edith Stein, personal stories, and the Word of God, Lisa and Laura will unpack one of these components. This week, it’s all about receptivity!  So ladies, are you ready to unleash your feminine genius? Grab your Bible and let’s go! Open your Heart to our key quote. Saint Edith Stein: The world doesn’t need what women have, it needs what women are. Open your Bible to Scriptures referenced in this episode. James 1:6: But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection. How can you be more receptive to others around you? Maybe it’s putting your phone away and looking your people in the eyes? Maybe it’s striking up a conversation in the pharmacy line? Maybe it's waiting up for someone to come home or inviting someone into your home? This week, choose one way you will intentionally be receptive to those around you. Show mentions. Pope John Paul II, Mulieris Dignitatem William Golding, The Lord of the Flies Carrie Gress and Noelle Mering, Theology of the Home Billy Joel, Piano Man, “You’re My Home” Our presenting sponsor is SoulCore.

  • Episode 47: Mary, Morning Star
    Join Lisa and Laura for the last week of our 4-week Advent series, House of Gold. The Virgin Mary is called the House of Gold because she was Jesus’ resting place: the one who threw the doors wide open with her YES. Mary made room for Jesus, and she has room in her heart for each one of us, too. This final week, they unpack the Marian title, Mary, Morning Star. Out of all the weeks in the Advent season, this is the week we really struggle to keep our eyes on Jesus. How can Mary, Morning Star, help us get everything accomplished in the next few days while remaining in Christ? Grab a coffee, hit play, and find out! Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Galatians 6:9: And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Luke 1:29: But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. 1 Corinthians 8:1: “Knowledge” puffs up, but love builds up. Invite Him in with this episode’s reflection. Instead of a journaling question, as you go through the busyness of the day, be mindful to look up—up to the star—and to call on Mary.  Show mentions.

  • Episode 46: Mary, Queen of Martyrs
    Join Lisa and Laura for our 4-week Advent series, House of Gold. The Virgin Mary is called the House of Gold because she was Jesus’ resting place: the one who threw the doors wide open with her YES. Mary made room for Jesus, and she has room in her heart for each one of us, too. In this third week of Advent, they unpack the Marian title, Mary, Queen of Martyrs. Why is Mary a martyr if she didn’t die a martyr's death? Why are we focusing on suffering during the happiest time of year? These questions, and many more, are answered in today’s episode. Grab a cup of coffee and settle in—you do not want to miss this episode! Open your Heart to our key Scripture.  Luke 2:35: And a sword will pierce through your own soul also. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.  Revelation 2:4–5: You do not love as you did at first. Remember then how far you have fallen. Repent and live as you lived at first. (Phillips) John 19:25: But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Mag’dalene. Ephesians 6:12–14: For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore. Mark 5:41: “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!” Romans 8:26: In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. (NIV) Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection. What suffering are you trying to control? What are you doing instead of letting it be done? Ask for the grace to have faith in God’s plan and trust that He is making all things new.  Show mentions.
