Do you feel the seeds of a new calling tugging at you?  Look to the Blessed Mother for help.

The Blessed Mother is known by many beautiful titles, some of which are familiar—Virgin, Queen of Peace, and Star of the Sea—and some we may not be aware of—Vessel of Grace, Greenest Branch, and Our Lady of Silence.  Paintner offers a flexible format to reflect on Mary’s titles through a thirty-one-day personal retreat, a series of novenas, or with visio divina exercises using striking images by printmaker Kreg Yingst. As you reflect on Mary in her role as Mother of Good Counsel, Woman Clothed with the Sun, Mystical Rose, Mother of Sorrows, Queen of the Angels, and other titles, Paintner invites you to hear what God calls you to develop in your life, help that dream or vision grow, and then nourish it in the world.  Whether you’re meeting Mary for the first time in these magnificent titles or revisiting her as a beloved companion, Birthing the Holy invites you to see the exploration of Mary and your life as a spiritual and creative act, one that can help deepen your faith even as it sparks new growth within you.

  Genuine Love - The Authentic...

  Genuine love is a profound and selfless connection that goes beyond fleeting emotions or superficial attractions. It is the kind of love that stands the test of time, built on a foundation of trust, honesty, and deep care for another person’s well-being. Unlike infatuation, which often thrives on excitement and novelty, genuine love is rooted in understanding, patience, and an unwavering commitment to support and uplift someone unconditionally. It does not fade in the face of challenges but instead grows stronger through them. 
  One of the most distinguishing features of true affection is its authenticity. There is no pretense, no need to impress, and no expectation of perfection. Genuine love allows people to be their truest selves, knowing they are accepted and cherished just as they are. It does not seek to control or manipulate but instead nurtures personal growth and emotional security. Those who experience this form of love feel safe, valued, and deeply connected. 
  Empathy plays a crucial role in fostering genuine love. The ability to understand and share another person’s emotions creates a bond that transcends words. It is through empathy that love becomes a source of comfort, reassurance, and strength. When someone genuinely loves another, they do not merely sympathize with their struggles; they actively seek to ease their burdens, celebrate their victories, and stand beside them through every season of life.

  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. "Since its original publication in 1949, In Search of the Miraculous has been hailed as the most valuable and reliable documentation of G. I. Gurdjieff's thoughts and universal view. This historic and influential work is considered by many to be a primer of mystical thought as expressed through the Work, a combination of Eastern philosophies that had for centuries been passed on orally from teacher to student. Gurdjieff's goal, to introduce the Work to the West, attracted many students, among them Ouspensky, an established mathematician, journalist, and, with the publication of In Search of the Miraculous, an eloquent and persuasive proselyte."

  How to Live in Fear - Mastering...

  Find freedom in an age of anxiety. 
  Let’s face it: we are afraid. Our world is riddled with fear-inducing headlines, financial meltdowns, family crises, and phobias of every stripe. No wonder the New York Times now reports one in ten Americans is now taking antidepressant or anxiety medication. So how do we cope or even succeed in a world spinning out of control? As someone who has battled panic attacks and anxiety most of his life, Lance Hahn can relate. 
  In How to Live in Fear, Lance tackles the pervasive problem of fear and panic head-on by inviting readers into his world. In this genuine and practical book, he invites readers into the life of a pastor living with anxiety disorder. Through humorous personal stories—like losing it on an airplane or collapsing onstage as he is about to preach—Lance will win over readers with his transparency. He will also share the remedies that have helped him recover and overcome throughout the years. 
  How to Live in Fear is a public intervention of sorts. We need to talk about this issue, especially the church-at-large. Millions of people suffer from anxiety disorders, and the church has done little to make them feel normal. Many Christians now take medication privately but keep it a secret under the shame of being viewed as a failure. Lance willingly bares his soul in order to get the conversation started. He firmly believes the church should not only recognize the issue, but also help believers reconcile the guilt of being a Christian while dealing with dread and anxiety  
  Filled with practical tips and advice, and full of relevant scriptures, How to Live in Fear gives readers the tools to relax in the face of fear—real or imagined. Lance will show readers that while he may still encounter bouts of panic, he has never let his disorder stop him from living a full life. 
  A scripture reference list is included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
