How many times did you pray for an answer to come only to have the weirdest thing happen? The answer came.  Only it came from a friend, through a dream, or with a silent thought while driving to work.  The answer came in a nudge of conscience.  Was this really God? Is the Holy Spirit real? Join Pete and Grace as we explore everyday situations and the connection to God. Heaven on Earth as Jesus said is all around us.

St. Joseph had a plan, God's plan was a million times better!!!!!!!!!   God's Plan for us is better than any plan we can dream up for ourselves. Pete Speaks with Grace about St. Joseph and the plan that Joseph had for life. While this plan was really good, God had a much greater plan for Joseph. He would be the protector of the Holy Family. St. Joseph is the earthly father of Jesus. His feast day is March 19th, the date this podcast was dropped. Catholics everywhere relate to St. Joseph who had many struggles in life, just like us, yet he embraced these struggles as gifts from the heavenly Father. Joseph is the Patron Saint of Workers. He is the 2nd most important saint after Mary. Other Saints mentioned in this video are Saint Thérèse of Lisieux and Joan of Arc. People bury the St. Joseph statue when selling their home. Pete and Grace have both done this and have had success. Write in your comment of this video your experience. Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeteSpeaksWit...

Bible Quotes in the Podcast: tbd

Working out and eating right are essential to caring for our physical bodies and our mental health. We engage in reading and studying to keep our minds sharp. What about our Spirituality? How do we engage the spirit and strengthen our faith so it is strong for times in life when needed most. Just like our bodies need to be strong to heal from illness or stressful activities, our spiritual strength is required for those difficult times in life. How does God provide opportunities to strengthen our spiritual muscles? Pete and Grace have many creative ideas for the listeners of this informative podcast. Bible References: 1 Timothy 4:8 For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 Well, I do not run aimlessly, I do not box as one beating the air; 27 but I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. 1 Thessalonians 5:17  Pray without ceasing.
