Here is the latest addition to the Connections Between Faith and Daily Life series on the Say Yes to Holiness YouTube channel. On this election day, I believe that it is even MORE important than ever for each one of us to strive to live out the essence of the Beatitudes, the Sermon on the Mount, the essence of which is the message that we are to be transformed.

This last week, I had the pleasure of hosting Brenden Flynn on the Say Yes to Holiness podcast. I connected with Brenden through the SmartCatholics.com platform, and once I learned a little of his story, I invited him on to the podcast because of his inspiring personal life story.

He uses the knowledge he’s gained about life circumstances to be able to help totally change people’s outlooks. Brenden […]

This is a subject that is really touching home in a particular way this week for me, but I know what I am experiencing this week is similar to what many are dealing with out there, especially amid the COVID pandemic.
