Finding God in the Sacred Chaos of Motherhood with Jennifer Stavinoha

In this special Month of Mary episode, Christina Sabo is joined by Jennifer Stavinoha — ministry leader, theologian, and author of Sacred Chaos: Finding Joy and Jesus in the Messiness of Motherhood — to explore what it looks like to say yes to God in the beautiful, exhausting reality of motherhood. Recorded in honor of Our Lady of Fatima and timed for Mother's Day, this conversation is a gift for every mother who has ever wondered where God went when the quiet prayer life disappeared.What We Talk About:Jennifer's conversion moment at Eucharistic Adoration as a teenager and how it set the direction of her entire lifeHow motherhood dismantled everything she thought she knew about prayer — and what she discovered on the other side of thatThe structure of Sacred Chaos as a three-week mini-retreat built around desire, encounter, and joy — and why these three themes arise from her own experience as a momPractical tools for praying with small children, including the "basket technique" and the gift of toddler adorationHow turning to Our Lady of Fatima in the middle of the night became a doorway to deeper intimacy with Mary as both mother and sisterChapters:00:00: Introduction & Opening Prayer03:50: Jennifer's Yes08:48: Introducing Sacred Chaos10:35: Inside the Book — A Three-Week Mini-Retreat14:44: Finding God in the Chaos of Ordinary Moments20:23: Practical Prayer Tools for Moms25:16: The Structure Behind Desire, Encounter, and Joy34:38: Playlists, Videos, and How They Support Prayer35:00: The Most Surprising Thing Motherhood Has Revealed About God38:24: When a Mom Feels Far from God: Start with MaryResources Mentioned:Sacred Chaos: Finding Joy and Jesus in the Messiness of Motherhood by Jennifer StavinohaJennifer Stavinoha's WebsiteAbandonment to Divine Providence by Jean-Pierre de CaussadeDrink the Still Water: Jennifer Stavinoha's Sacred Chaos — Paloma&Fig blogProduced by Saint Kolbe StudiosSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow Paloma & Fig on Facebook, Instagram & LinkedIn.
