He fell in love with Jesus in High School and became a missionary as a young adult. He has served all over the country on college campuses and he was the director of an inner city Detroit Youth program called Youth Works. While he was a missionary he fell in love with the Catholic Church and converted to Catholicism. On the podcast today Aaron tells us AMAZING stories of the power of God. We were shocked by the way God has moved in and through His ministry. Aaron also has a heart for outreach and for encountering people. We can all learn from his amazing ability to connect heart to heart with people and his trust in the power of God. You will be inspired by this episode!! Enjoy!

  • 94. "When You Lose What You Love and Find God in the Process" with James Longoria
    Mar 21 2024

    James Longoria is back on the podcast! James is the worship leader for our His Beloved retreats and youth minister at a church near us. He was on our podcast way back on episode 28 and you can go back and hear his entire story if you would like. It is powerful! Today he shares a new story with us that took place this summer. James, who has an anointed voice, suddenly lost his voice after becoming ill in April. For months he was unable to sing or even speak without coughing. In the process, he met Jesus in a way that he had never experienced Him before and learned to trust Him with our without the gift that he had been given. It is a powerful, miracle story and one that can teach us a lot about trusting in God even when things feel out of control.

  • 92. Chase and Viva Crouse
    Feb 29 2024

    Today we have an adorable couple on our podcast. Chase and Viva Crouse are here to talk all things Catholic Fitness. Chase has a background in ministry and Viva is an actress. A few years ago the Lord put on their hearts to become personal trainers and to train people using Theology of the Body and Catholic principles. That is when they started a Catholic personal training company called Hypurofit. During our conversation they explain how fitness and health should not be quick bursts that just fizzle out, but long lasting habits that allow us to live out the calling that God has for our lives. We also get to hear their adorable love story. They are a ton of fun and you will love them. You can find Chase and Viva on their website or their instagram accounts.

  • 91. "Healing Wounds with the Movie Encanto"
    Feb 22 2024

    Hey there friends! Some terrible illnesses struck our house last week, so we were not able to record a new episode. We decided to share one of our favorites from last year. This was part of our "Find Your Fire" Series. On this episode Megan and Kendra dive deep into Dr. Bob Schutts writings about healing wounds using the movie Encanto. We highly recommend that after you listen to this one, go back and listen to the whole series if you didn't hear it the first time starting on episode #54. Even if you heard this episode last year give it a listen again. The Lord may just surprise you and invite you into a different aspect of healing while you listen.


    Today we have a little fun with the deep topic of generational wounds and trauma. This is the next episode in our series "Find Your Fire". The movie Encanto has so much to teach us about charisms, gifts, wounding and generational trauma. We know that not everyone loves Disney movies, but the Lord speaks to Megan through Disney movies. If we look at them in the light of the Holy Spirit even Disney can teach us thing or two about the heart of God. We talk about our own struggles, wounds, and how we can over come wounds to live in freedom and fly with the Lord.

  • 89. "Revelation90" with Heather Murphy
    Feb 8 2024
    Today we have Heather Murphy, the Development Director of Couple to Couple League. She shares with us a new initiative that CTCL has for women during Lent. We were blown away, by what she shared. This program would be fantastic for all teens and young adult women. It could also be helpful for any woman who is struggling month to month with her cycle.  Couple to Couple League, the premier provider of Natural Family Planning resources just launched Revelation90, a 90 day course where women take a deep dive into their wellness habits to reveal their healthiest, happiest selves. Drawing on the expertise of program partners SoulCore and Temple+Table, Revelation90 provides a holistic answer to the persistent health problems that women face today. The inaugural Revelation90 challenge will kick off on Ash Wednesday, February 14, and end 90 days later on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, May 13. Katie Zulanas, Executive Director of Couple to Couple League, says Revelation90 is the answer to a problem that the Couple to Couple League has observed for years. “Working with hundreds of thousands of women in helping them learn about and understand their fertility, we have unfortunately seen a disturbing trend of cycles becoming more irregular,” Zulanas said. “A woman’s cycle is an extremely accurate indicator of overall health. Revelation90 will not only give you great insight into your health, it will give you the tools needed to design a happier, healthier, smarter lifestyle.” To register or get more info about Revelation 90 visit www.revelation90.org Our listeners (and friends and family) can use "beloved90" to get 50% off the Revelation90 program!  Revelation 90 Info Trailer  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZb6jd9ALVg Couple To Couple League ⁠https://ccli.org/⁠ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hisbelovedoftexas/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hisbelovedoftexas/support

  • 88. "Stepping into Something That Is Scary" with Roxanna Garcia
    Feb 1 2024

    Hello friends! Today we have the sweetest lady in all the land, Roxanna Garcia, on our podcast. Roxy is a good friend of ours and we have watched God moving in her life. We asked her to come on the podcast and share the story of how God lit a fire in her heart for Theology of the Body and asked her to step out and do something that felt terrifying. He is such a gentle leader though and has walked her slowly and gently through the process. She also tells us the fantastic story of how she met her husband and we were shocked! Such a great story. We think you will see yourself in Roxy's, humble heart, and the journey that she has been on with the Lord. This was such a fun episode! We hope you enjoy!
