In this episode I interview my friend, Rachel. Rachel is a cradle Catholic whose faith really started to grow after a high school religion class. Rachel discusses the joys and challenges she faced traveling with Catholic speaker, John Wood. Rachel recalls her journey towards motherhood and explains what she does as a Catholic, stay-at-home mom. Like myself, Rachel struggled to find a solid OB provider before discovering Napro. She discusses her fertility journey more in next month’s episode.

A Mother's Rule of Life - https://www.amazon.com/Mothers-Rule-Life-Bring-Order/dp/1928832415

God loves you and created you. You're precious, unique and unrepeatable. He wants to be in a relationship with you forever and he's got a plan for your life. The bad news is that due to sin we were separated from God and our human nature was weakened. That means our intellect was darkened. Our wills became weak and sin became attractive. The consequence of sin became eternal death in hell. But the good news is that God's, Jesus became man. Atoned for our sins by dying on the cross, and rose from the dead for our salvation. We receive the Holy Spirit and this gift of salvation when we put our faith in Jesus, repent of our sins, get baptized and become his disciples. Finally Jesus established the Catholic church to teach with his authority, to empower us with his grace, and to bring us back to life if we commit a deadly sin.
