Consecrated
Whether you are discerning religious life, are settled into your vocation, or are just wondering what Religious orders are all about, Consecrated interviews men and women who have accepted the call to live a consecrated life. Asking what need the community serves, what daily prayer life looks like, and other specialties of the order, Consecrated seeks to make known the beauty and need for Religious life.
Behind the Scenes and God's Providence
What started as a Youth Learning Challenge project, has blossomed into a witness of God's Love and Providence. The Griptape Youth Learning Challenge is a program designed to give teens the financial resources to pursue a topic of interest, limiting the amount of adult instruction. With the intention of beginning a teen interview-based podcast with time for scripture reflection, I applied and received funds toward my project, which I put toward the purchase of a microphone, headphones, an inexpensive laptop, and a year of podcast hosting on Podbean. Ready to begin my project, I ran into problems in regard to copyright law. Devastated, I was given the suggestion by my mother, to begin a podcast interviewing Religious Orders. My vigor renewed, I began to contact different Orders that I knew of. After several polite responses of unavailability, and sometimes no response at all, I didn't know what to do. I have since learned that God just had different plans for my first few interviews. I made a simple and blunt prayer along the lines of "Okay God, whomever you send me in the mail next, that's who I will contact." We tend to receive mail from different Religious Organizations asking for donations, prayer intentions, and just their published newsletters. Within the week we received four organizations' mail, and after reaching out to them, three accepted my request for an interview. This whole project has been a learning experience, not only in regards to podcasting, but also trusting in God's Greater Plan. I hope that you will continue to join me on this journey.
A SPECIAL THANKS TO THE GRIPTAPE YOUTH LEARNING CHALLENGE, WHOM GOD ALLOWED TO MAKE THIS PROJECT POSSIBLE!
