Blessed Is She The Gathering Place

Isaiah 54:1

It's Teachable Tuesday time and we are joined by Father Mark-Mary of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. We all have it. Some bags are bigger than others. But set them down. The Lord wants to bring us peace. Ask yourself... is your baggage hurting you? And if so, how can we get back to peace?

Let's get rid of it. Holy Spirit, convict our hearts. 

Suffering and joy aren’t mutually exclusive. You can have joy right in the middle of whatever mess you’re dealing with because He’s with you, right in the middle of it, too. How sweet is that? Come and be encouraged on this week’s bonus episode of the Gathering Place podcast with the Set A Fire Lent devotional narrator and beloved BIS blog editor Olivia Spears. This joy is for Y O U.

Let's get a Bible and read Psalm 92 to see how we should begin and end our day right (which is with the Lord).

Do you have burdens? Do you feel heavy? We have a Savior, and His name is Jesus. He will carry those for you. Right now, today. Let's give it over to Him.

Sometimes we can get bogged down on what to DO for Lent. Well, have no fear! Beth gives us three tips for discerning what the Lord wants from us for Lent.

God is love. God is truth. There is only one of Him. The love of God and the truth of God are never opposed. We are joined by Father John Parks for this special video where we answer questions all about common misconceptions about the Catholic Church and finding truth.

Did you ever think your weakness, tiredness, and limitations could be a good thing? Let them lead you back to the heart of the Father. He wants to be your everything.  This may be the last Gathering Place podcast of the season, but we’re not through hanging out with you! Join us for the next round of #bisvbs starting February 3. We’re reading Saint Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. Tag a friend and get ready

Join us for a monthly talk with different religious orders to learn more about religious life for women. We will kickstart this series hearing from Father John Burns, the Vocation Promoter and Promoter of Women’s Religious and Consecrated Life in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.

Think timing doesn’t matter to the Lord? It does. #teachabletuesday #BISsisterhood

The Lord is calling us to more than *just* consuming good content: it's an invitation to deep intimacy with Him. So let's dive in.

Father Mark Mary of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal is back again for another episode of The Gathering Place! This time we are talking all about suffering & trust in the Lord's will for our lives. Trusting the Lord can be hard, especially when we struggle with trust. But He never lets you down. He is always there. He will never abandon you.

This week, we sit down with Father Mark Mary of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal to chat all about family. We have a calling to each other. We as brothers and sisters in Christ belong to each other. We have a common Father and we really are family. The Gospel comes to those who have the most broken image of family. That’s the mission of the Church. That’s the mission of Christ.

Happy New Year! In this week's episode, Jenna & Beth chat about their word, saint, and verse for the 2021. It's time for a new beginning this year. He has good things in store for you, sweet friend.
