About this listen
Pray, Decide, and Don't Worry: Five Steps to Discerning God's Will equips Catholics with a clear five-step discernment process for navigating what St. Ignatius of Loyola calls the movements of the soul, the deeper realities that clue Catholics into what God is doing deep within their hearts, and where he is leading them.
Drawing from the rich tradition of the church and powerful insights from the saints and the Bible, this invaluable resource teaches Catholics how to recognize God's voice, discern spirits, and know which vocation God is calling them to. It will also show you that it is possible to be in the waiting yet fully joyfully alive at the same time.
After listening to this book and following this five-step discernment process, Catholics can be at peace with their decision, knowing that they have truly discerned God's will.
Pray, Decide, and Don't Worry includes:
- Questions Catholics should ask themselves when discerning God's will.
- Teachings from St. Ignatius rules for discernment.
- Fr. Mike Schmitz's "four doors discernment" method.
- Testimonies from a married couple and a priest.
- Prayers to recite during times of discernment.
- Motivation for reflections, thoughts, and inspirations along the way.
In this book, Catholics will learn:
- How to know if a desire in their heart is truly from God.
- What consolation and desolation are and how to fight desolation.
- What to do when they receive a sign and don't know what it means.
- And so much more!

Angels and saints. Catholics tend to think of them as different from the rest of us. They're cast in plaster or simpering on a holy card, performing miracles with superhero strength, or playing a harp in highest heaven.
Yet they are very near to us in every way. In this lively audiobook, Scott Hahn dispels the false notions and urban legends people use to keep the saints at a safe distance. The truth is that Jesus Christ has united heaven and earth in a close communion. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Dr. Hahn shows that the hosts of heaven surround the earthly Church as a "great cloud of witnesses".

Story
The saints, the heroes of the Roman Catholic faith, lived lives of holiness, dedicated to serving God. The saints lived at different times in different places throughout history, but they all shared a love of God that has been documented through the teachings of the Church. Today, the saints serve as examples for all Catholics, showing the believers how to lead a more spiritual life. Catholic devotions are particular customs, rituals and practices of worship or in honour of the saints that are in addition to the liturgy of the Catholic Church.

Beginning with how we can know reality and ending with our hope of eternal life, it's the perfect way to help skeptics and seekers (or Catholics who want to firm up their faith) understand the evidence that bolsters our belief - and brings us joy.

Learn to find and play the role God wants most for you to play, not the ones you feel pressured into playing for the sake of others or even our sense of accomplishment and worth. Most of us spend a lot of our lives figuring out when to say yes and when to say no. How to manage our time, reduce stress, do our best for our families, find a little space for "me". But we don't find space for our souls until we learn to step past the yes and no of daily decisions and seek a third option: the best yes. The best yes is the choice that shapes all our other choices.

But many of us get lost when we actually dive into the Bible, and our time spent can be more frustrating than fruitful. We are listening to a collection of writings drafted by an ancient people, in an ancient culture. But Scripture is nothing less than the Living Word of God, and it is meant just as much for us as for those who lived thousands of years ago.

Story
How can you believe all this stuff? This is the number one question Catholics get asked - and, sometimes, we ask ourselves. Why We're Catholic assembles the clearest, friendliest, most helpful answers that Trent learned to give to people. Beginning with how we can know reality and ending with our hope of eternal life, it's the perfect way to help skeptics and seekers (or Catholics who want to firm up their faith) understand the evidence that bolsters our belief - and brings us joy.

Only two in 10 Americans under 30 believe attending a church is important or worthwhile. Well over half of young adults raised in the Church have dropped out, with many having a strong anti-Church stance, many even believing the Church does more harm than good. Fr. Josh Johnson was one of these people. In Broken and Blessed, he tackles the harsh realities facing the Church in the 21st century.

Dr. Greg Bottaro explains how mindfulness can help us become aware of the present moment and accept it. Catholic mindfulness is a way to practically trust God more in our lives. Instead of separating faith from day-to-day life, mindfulness helps bridge the gap so we can feel the sense of safety and peace God intends us to have. Following the exercises in this audiobook, you'll discover how mindfulness can help you be more present to everything in your life from a trip to the grocery store or relaxing with friends to listening more attentively to a homily.

Fantastic Tool for Discernment
Thank you for your YES’s to this book. As I encounter my own season of discernment, I was prayerfully led to your book. It has brought clarity and renewed trust in the process and the Lord in this stage of life that I’m in. Thank you! God bless you! Please do more books like this. Our Catholic faith is so rich. Please keep feeding us with his truths so that we may also grow in holiness and achieve the greatest reward of all-Heaven. ❤️🙏🏽❤️

practical and "easy" steps to help discernment
This is the first time I went through this book, not realizing it had moments where you should pause and answer questions or discern a question they were asking. Being that I am at work, I just let the book run all of the way through. I heard a lot of really great ways to help me discern where God wants me to be, in His plan for me. Almost being 50, I've led my life, my way. now I need to sit, listen or read this book and take the time to properly stop and contemplate when necessary. Great book, can't wait to go back through it while being still and quiet and listening to what God has to say.

Really helped make a timely decision
This book came right in time as I needed to discern whether a job change was what God was calling me to do. Very practical advice. Not sure if there is a cheat sheet or companion guide as a PDF with this Audible to refer back to? If so, could someone inform me how to access it? Overall, very informative, practical and succinct. The audio performance was great too by all speakers. Thank you and God bless!!

Something for everyone
I loved this book. It’s short but is very insightful. The target audience is primarily young adults but I found that as a middle age mom there was plenty of wisdom for me too. I enjoyed hearing each of the authors narrate the book.
