This week on Iowa Catholic Radio’s Catholic Women Now, Julie Nelson and Chris McGruder dive into the power of praise and worship in the Catholic life. Drawing from Scripture, the Catechism, personal experiences, and Church tradition, they discuss how praise renews the mind, brings peace into anxious moments, and extends the sacrifice of praise from the Mass into everyday life. Chris shares how learning to intentionally praise God transformed difficult moments in her own life, from fear and anxiety to deeper trust and joy. Together, Julie and Chris explore practical ways listeners can begin incorporating praise into daily prayer and explain why praise has always been central to Catholic spirituality. Whether you’re new to praise and worship or looking to deepen your prayer life, this conversation offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and hope.
