S2 E14 Allison Gingras

Allison Gingras is pure joy, and it was a gift to have her on the show. Allison is the founder of Reconciled to You, host of A Seeking Heart on Breadbox Media, WINE Steward for WINE: Women In the New Evangelization, and creator of the Stay Connected Journals for Catholic Women.

The most recent of these—Seeking Peace: A Spiritual Journey from Worry to Trust (super relevant, right?!)—is available now.

She brings us words from Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis that are fit for any time of year, but have particular poignancy during Holy Week:

“Try to bear patiently with the defects and infirmities of others, whatever they may be, because you also have many a fault which others must endure.”

If you’re looking for good spiritual reading, this book is a great place to start!

Connect with Allison at Reconciled to You, and on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
