Episode 182: Connect Heaven to Earth’s Ordinary Moments with Fr. Micael Voithofer

Archdiocese of Omaha — Tue, 06 May 2025 00:00:00 -0500

What if everyday moments—like washing dishes or sitting in traffic—could actually connect you to heaven? In this episode, we’re diving into what it really means to live into your identity as a beloved son or daughter of God. We’ll chat about the baptismal priesthood—not as some abstract theology, but as a real, lived-out calling to be a bridge between heaven and earth. Whether you’re changing a diaper or heading into a meeting, worship isn’t just for Sunday mornings—it’s for every part of your life.

I sit down with Fr. Michael Voithofer, and we talk about how worship shifts our focus, heals our hearts, and draws us into God's presence where we can actually rest. You’ll hear how starting your day with a posture of poverty of spirit—just being honest about your need for God—can transform the way you live, love, and lead.
So grab your coffee, take a breath, and join us as we explore what it looks like to live from a place of sonship, freedom, and joy—bringing God’s presence into every moment.
Are you ready to live like you’re deeply loved and fully sent?

Episode 169: Praying with Purpose: Expect God to Speak About Your Mission with Hannah Vaughan-Spruce

Archdiocese of Omaha — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600

Have you ever wondered how to bring the Lord into your work, expanding your prayer life beyond personal devotion? In this episode, we explore missional prayer—prayer that aligns our hearts with the Holy Spirit, focusing on the transformation of our parishes and neighborhoods. It's about moving beyond inward devotion to intentional, outward-facing prayer for mission and evangelization.

Discover how coming together as a community to seek God's guidance and power can bring about renewal and fruitfulness in our mission. Learn to pray with a purpose, trusting that God wants to work through us to reach those who don’t yet know Him.
