Holiness in the Ordinary: Meg Hunter-Kilmer on The Everyday Yes

July 24
38 mins

Episode Description

Guest host Belle Meade welcomes Catholic author, speaker, and Notre Dame campus minister Meg Hunter-Kilmer to talk about her own everyday yes and her new twelve-week Bible study, Who Is Jesus? Discovering Christ in the Gospels, published by Ave Maria Press. Along the way she shares the moment a familiar parable broke her open in the middle of Mass and why she thinks fifteen minutes a day of silence — one percent of your life — is within reach of almost anyone.

What We Talk About:

  • The daily habit for growing closer to God that Meg hopes every reader walks away with
  • The two distortions of God people bring to Scripture: the disinterested God and the God of wrath
  • How the humanity of Christ consecrates our grief, our fear, and even our mistakes
  • Why the big yes is only ever built on a thousand ordinary ones
  • What makes Who Is Jesus? different from most Catholic Bible studies — and who it's actually for
