    Hope & Intimacy with Jesus with Beth Davis | Episode 153

    What do you do when you deeply desire marriage, but your prayers haven’t been answered yet? In this beautiful conversation, Beth Davis shares honestly about her own journey of longing, disappointment, wrestling with God, and learning to trust Him more deeply. We explore what it really means to: develop intimacy with Jesus, bring your unmet desires and even your anger to Him, surrender without shutting down your desires, and discover that hope is ultimately rooted in who God is—not simply in what we hope He will give us. If you’re tired of searching for the “right” formula for your vocation and longing for a deeper relationship with Jesus in the midst of the waiting, this episode is a powerful invitation to stay open, stay honest, and keep hoping.

    What if your life isn’t on hold while you wait for marriage?

Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that you are not a wife-in-training and your life is not a waiting room. You are a whole woman made to love and be loved today. ✨✨✨ 💛 Stay connected to TIS 👉🏼 Stay in the know on all things TIS! Want to go deeper?

    Healing your Inner Child: Where Faith, Body & Emotions Meet with Brya Hanan | Episode 145

    What if the reactions, fears, and relationship patterns you struggle with today are connected to parts of your story that were never fully healed? In this powerful conversation, Brya Hanan unpacks inner child work, IFS/parts work, and somatic healing through a deeply Catholic lens. She explains: why our bodies can hold memories and emotions that our minds have pushed aside, how old wounds can shape our attachment and dating patterns, and why healing means learning to feel safe within ourselves. Brya also shares her practical “Five A’s” framework to help you slow down, listen to what’s happening within you, and bring those experiences to Christ. This episode is an invitation to move beyond simply knowing that God is good in your head and begin experiencing His love, safety, tenderness, and presence in your whole self.

Whether you're navigating a move, a career change, a new relationship, an engagement, marriage, or simply another unexpected twist in your story, transitions can be both beautiful and deeply challenging. In this conversation, Maria and Megan explore the grief, uncertainty, hope, and growth that often accompany life's transitions. They share why it's important to honor both what you're leaving behind and what you're stepping into, and how God often does His deepest work in the spaces we never planned for. In this episode, you'll learn: Why transitions feel so hard (and why that's completely normal) How to hold both grief and hope at the same time The hidden gifts that can come through disappointment Why your desires matter—even when you're afraid to name them How to move through change with greater trust, curiosity, and peace If you're in a season of change and wondering if you're doing it "right," this episode is a gentle reminder: you're not failing, you're transitioning—and God is with you in every step of the journey. . 💫 Doors to Thriving in the Space Between close tomorrow! 💫 If you've been journeying with us through the podcast, following along this week, or quietly wondering whether TIS might be your next step, we want you to know what an honor it would be to journey with you over the next six months. 🤍 Enrollment closes tomorrow, Saturday, June 27, at 10:00 PM CT, and we'd love to invite you to prayerfully discern whether this is your season. 👉 Learn more and join us here ✨Still haven't watched our FREE workshop?
