Becoming the Gift: What Changed When I Lived in the Present — Part 1 with Catherine Pelicano | Episode 80

When life didn’t go according to plan, Catherine Pelicano wrestled with identity, belonging, and purpose. In this heartfelt episode with our dear friend and TIS gal, she shares how leaning into the present moment transformed her relationship with God, her friendships, and even the way she shows up in dating.“When I stay in the future, I get afraid. But in the present moment, Christ meets me — and suddenly anything is possible.”Catherine opens up about the ache of singleness, the unexpected blessings she discovered, and the freedom that came when she stopped clenching her fists around what she didn’t have and opened her hands to what God was already doing.“It’s not selfish to embrace the blessings of singleness. It’s actually more hurtful to God when we don’t acknowledge His gifts.”If you’ve ever felt like you’re missing out or waiting for life to “begin,” Catherine’s story will remind you that peace and joy can be found right where you are. Through raw honesty, trusting in God's plan, and choosing to embrace her present moment, she discovered the freedom of self-gift and began to see God’s miracles hiding in plain sight. 💌 Doors are NOW OPEN!
