Ep9 The Ache We All Know (w/ Ashley Cermak)

"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." ~ C. S. LewisAs we make our way through this earthly life, we experience a nagging ache or longing for something more. While we feel this ache even at the best of times, it's often in the midst of our deep human suffering and anxieties that we come to understand our soul's ache for God's perfect love.Our guest for this episode is Ashley Cermak, a counselor, a former teacher & youth minister, and - as you'll hear in this episode - a single Catholic woman. Through Ashley's beautiful and vulnerable reflections on the particular aches that come with living as a single person in the Church, we can all become more aware of our own aches to be known and loved completely by our Father in heaven.Join us for this powerful and deeply real conversation on disappointment, fulfillment, and meaning.
