My favorite resources
These have helped me—and can help you—experience the abundant life Christ died for us to have!
Memorize Scripture: Simple steps to pray, ponder, and practice God’s Word — An important book by Jackie Angel that has helped me memorize and savor the living and powerful Word of God.
Damascus Mission Campus – An anointed missionary campus that runs faith-based retreats, worship events, and camps for youth and adults. I live in Ohio and my kids went there for summer camps. I’ve also experienced their powerful weekend women’s retreats! They now have campuses in Michigan and Maryland as well… truly holy ground!
Red Bird Ministries – A beautiful non-profit Catholic ministry that helps families suffering from the loss of a child. They offer grief support in the form of resources, prayers, retreats, workshops, etc. They are a Godsend for those navigating the trauma of loss.
Hallow — My favorite prayer app that includes prayers, music, reflections, and challenges to help you dive deeper into your faith and apply it to your daily life.
Bible in a Year with Fr. Mike Schmitz — A comprehensive Bible study in podcast form that I’ve found so informative and helpful! Fr. Mike is an incredible guide to help you navigate the sometimes-challenging parts of the Bible. Find it on Apple podcasts, the Hallow app, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Encounter Ministries — Ministry school that teaches, equips, and activates disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit. (Through both in-person and online campuses.) This school of ministry has been transformational in my own life, and I have been honored to be an Encounter instructor at the Cincinnati campus since 2024!
Abiding Together — A Catholic women’s podcast that feels like hanging out with your very wise and faith-filled best friends. I love listening to these women and being inspired by their profound, lived faith and their holy and fun friendship with each other.
St. Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercises — One of the best retreat experiences of my life! These exercises are a powerful tool to go into the deep with the Lord!
Write These Words — A Catholic writers’ community with Claire Dwyer and Mike Fontecchio that has a ton of resources to help you get your sacred story out to the world! This community truly helped me with all the aspects of getting my book written, edited, and published.
JPII Healing Center — A ministry that helps people encounter the healing love of Jesus through various in-person retreats, workshops, online courses, and other resources. The team of people involved in this organization is incredible!
The Sisters of Life — Catholic religious sisters who are in love with Jesus and are captivated by the truth that every single person is valuable, good, and has a unique purpose for his or her life. These sisters are joyful, beautiful, and loving proponents of the sanctity of life at all stages. They also have great content and events!
