Confident Expectation: Put All Your Trust in God with Michelle McCallum of A Common Life

"Have confident expectation of God."

When Michelle McCallum's mom spoke these words many years ago, Michelle had no idea they would hold such profound meaning for her when two of her own children were diagnosed with chronic illness (both with rare liver diseases and one with Crohn's Disease).

In this Easter podcast, Michelle talks about her choice to trust God--Michelle recognizes she has very little control over her life or the lives of her children and surrenders everything to Him.

Michelle shares how having a heart of gratitude, being real about both the difficulty and blessings of her everyday life and trusting God's abiding presence helps her to live in the peace and joy only God can give.

Mental Illness and Alcoholism with Erica Campbell of Be a Heart

Erica Campbell shares her struggle with mental illness and alcoholism.

Erica started drinking in college to cope with her feelings of depression and anxiety and "get out of herself." Alcohol felt like medicine.

Erica learned drinking did not solve her depression or anxiety, but increased it.

Erica attended Reconciliation one morning and it changed her life. The priest became her spiritual director and has had a profound impact on Erica's life.

Erica began attending Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and is now nine years sober. She created her own company Be A Heart, which produces goods for a modern Christian lifestyle - ranging from planners and home goods to toys and textiles.

Blessed is She Who Believes with Elizabeth Santorum Marcolini

When Elizabeth and her husband Matt were asked by Sister Mary of the Sisters of Life to pray for a woman who was pregnant, they had no idea they were keeping their future daughter in prayer.

Elizabeth later learned Sister Mary had also given their daughter’s birthmother a copy of the book that Elizabeth had written with her parents, "Bella's Gift: How One Little Girl Transformed Our Family and Inspired a Nation."

Elizabeth speaks of God's "trail of divine breadcrumbs" that led Matt and her to adopt Zelie. This miracle has been greater than their own best laid plans.

Elizabeth encourages listeners to believe and be "good clay," as God is the Divine Potter.
