Are You Available to God?

by Jane Kennedy | November 14, 2023 | Bold in Faith, Bold in Life, The SundayMonday Tuesday Archives | 0 Comments

One of my toxic traits is that I often overextend myself. Everything always just sounds so FUN! I have long been notorious for "stacking" events; i.e., a happy hour followed by a dinner followed by a birthday party, etc. The reality of living this way, however, became...

A Beautiful Innocence

by Jane Kennedy | November 7, 2023 | Bold in Faith, Bold in Life, The SundayMonday Tuesday Archives | 0 Comments

A couple of weeks ago, two of my friends discovered that I had never read John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. To remedy that, one of them lent me her book and I dove in. I really enjoyed East of Eden and was excited for another journey through my beloved Northern...

An Invitation to Obedience

by Jane Kennedy | October 31, 2023 | Bold in Faith, Bold in Life, Bold in Work | 0 Comments

Earlier this year, I embarked on the journey of Fiat90 with a small group of friends. Fiat90 is a 90-day program of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to prepare for Easter. You may have heard of the men's version, Exodus90, which involves cold showers and 5 a.m. alarms...

Should women work?

by Jane Kennedy | October 26, 2023 | Bold in Work, The SundayMonday Tuesday Archives | 0 Comments

I get asked all the time about my thoughts on whether women should be in the workplace or at home with their families. I am extraordinarily unequipped to answer this question, yet I get it frequently. I think it’s because (especially in the Catholic women's space)...

The gift of the present moment

by Jane Kennedy | October 16, 2023 | Bold in Faith, Bold in Life, The SundayMonday Tuesday Archives | 0 Comments

I don't know what's in the water, but I sure know what's in my podcast feed this week: the sacrament of the present moment. Fr. Mike, Abiding Together, Poco a Poco, Dr. Mike... it's everywhere! So I figured we could spend some time chatting about it here. I'm a big...

Getting Out of the Way

by Jane Kennedy | October 10, 2023 | Bold in Life, The SundayMonday Tuesday Archives | 0 Comments

I spent this past weekend on retreat and it was, in a word, spectacular. I never feel more connected to Peter, James, and John on Mt. Tabor than I do when I’m on retreat; are You sure I can’t just build a tent and stay here forever with You, Lord? But the whole...

Solidcore, Street Pianos, and the Good Shepherd

by Jane Kennedy | October 3, 2023 | Bold in Faith, Bold in Life, The SundayMonday Tuesday Archives | 0 Comments

One of the most significant benefits of writing this weekly newsletter is that I'm constantly on the lookout for God's movements in my daily life – partly because I want to be aware of His presence, and also because come Monday evening, I need something to write...

Get Back in the Ring

by Jane Kennedy | September 26, 2023 | Bold in Life, The SundayMonday Tuesday Archives | 0 Comments

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all...

Abandonment and Attraction

by Jane Kennedy | September 19, 2023 | Bold in Life, The SundayMonday Tuesday Archives | 0 Comments

For the past few months, I've slowly been making my way through the book, Abandonment to Divine Providence. It is so good, and I usually have to pause after each page to fully digest what I've just read. I also frequently send photos of pages to friends, and I've been...

Joe Jonas, Sophie Turner, and the Vice of Curiositas

by Jane Kennedy | September 12, 2023 | Bold in Life, The SundayMonday Tuesday Archives | 0 Comments

Last week, I found myself utterly devastated by news that had absolutely nothing to do with me: Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are separating after four years of marriage and two children together. If you have absolutely no idea who or what I'm talking about,...
