Greetings and welcome to The John 3:30 Podcast, we focus on Catholic Faith Life. The goal is to share different ways people keep their fire burning for our Catholic Faith. I have seen firsthand many people attend a Retreat or go through a traumatic Life Event and it brings them closer to their faith. For a moment. They are hungry for more. Unfortunately, not too long after, many return to their “old ways.” I firmly believe this happens because they do not know what they do not know. They may not be aware that they can attend Adoration, pray a Novena, or any other beautiful ways our Catholic Faith offers us the opportunity to grow in our Faith. My thought process is to sit down and speak with “everyday” people and have a conversation with them as to how they keep their fire burning for our Catholic Faith.  Like what you hear?

Episode 19 is here!! In this episode, I sit down and have a conversation with Yvonne Garcia. Yvonne is a Firefighter/Paramedic for the past 20 years. She has a Masters in Counseling and will be transitioning to a fully licensed Counselor with her own Practice, after her retirement from the Fire Dept. What keeps Yvonne’s fire burning for our Catholic Faith? She talks about “looking inward first to then look outward.” She also talks about Shields of Christ Retreats. These are ACTS Retreats that are specifically for First Responders. Yvonne also shares how Spiritual Readings by Fr. Richard Rohr and Fr. Ron Rolheiser help keep her fire burning. Later in the episode, Yvonne talks about dreams and how this is how the Holy Spirit communicates with her. Jason also shares how he feels how the Holy Spirit communicates with him.
