The SundayMonday Show Jane Kennedy

This week's episode is all about the saints! In 99 episodes, I can't believe I haven't dedicated an episode to the saints yet (whoops). We'll talk a bit about why Catholics have the saints, what our relationships with them can look like, and then I'll share the stories of three of my favorite saints and how they came into my life!



Here are some of the resources I mentioned in this episode:

Story of a Soul - St. Therese

I Believe in Love - by Fr. Jean D'Elbee, also about St. Therese

C'est la Confiance - by Pope Francis, about St. Therese

Joan of Arc - Mark Twain

St. Jude Novena

We are blessed with three-peat guest, Katie Mittel, to talk about one of our very favorite people: St. Joseph! And what better day to have this conversation than on his feast day, March 19. Katie and I both have devotions to St. Joseph, and in this episode we share how he has interceded in our lives, and how his incredible virtue and holiness inspires us to grow in our faith, hope, and charity.



Also, we reference Fr. Calloway's "Consecration to St. Joseph" quite a few times throughout, and couldn't recommend it more! You can buy it here: https://www.amazon.com/Consecration-St-Joseph-Wonders-Spiritual/dp/1596144319

This is the Lent of the Surrender Novena, and we love to see it! Why is it so popular? My hypothesis is it's because many of us struggle with three major enemies to surrender: perfectionism, activism, and control.



For each of these stumbling blocks, we'll discuss the temptation, jump into scripture, and pray one day of the surrender novena corresponding to the struggle.



The best way to fight temptations against surrender is to name the vice, and I hope this episode helps us recognize our own struggles with surrender so we can experience the love, joy, peace, and confidence God desires for us!

Poco a Poco episode on Confidence

We're back for a new season, and since we're almost to 100 episodes, I wanted to take the opportunity to share what the SundayMonday looks like: both back when it began in 2021 and how it looks today! I share behind the scenes of the podcast, newsletter, website, and answer all your burning questions about my feelings on Instagram. Enjoy!

My girly Erica is back and we're reflecting on 2023 (and our words "abundance" and "providence") as well as sharing our words for 2024!!

Advent is here - our very own liturgical season of waiting. So what better time to talk about how we can grow in trust of God while we wait? Life is full of waiting seasons, and we often just flow from one into the next, so it's good to grow in the muscle of trust. In this episode, I share three things I've done that have helped me SO much in growing in trust!
