Yes Catholic
Yes Catholic is focused on highlighting stories of people who rose up and started truly living as a Catholic. Stories are powerful. You really never know who could be inspired through listening to someone's personal story of conversion. As St. John Paul II said, "Remember that you are never alone, Christ is with you on your journey every day of your lives!" Join us every week as we invite a new guest to share their story. Real People. Real Stories. All Grace.

Healing Through Art and Faith with Katie Weiss
What if you could find solace and strength through a simple image? Join us as we welcome Katie Weiss, who shares her remarkable journey of exploring faith, creativity, and unexpected transitions. Growing up as part of a lively Catholic family in New Jersey, Katie's spiritual path took on new dimensions in fifth grade, inspired by her mother's renewed faith and a powerful video of Mother Teresa.
Katie's story unfolds with a raw and heartfelt transition from religious life, a period she compares to a difficult breakup. She recounts the feelings of failure and darkness she experienced but also the rediscovery of God's presence that followed. This inner transformation led her to create Behold, a ministry where prayer and art intersect, offering healing and grace through Visio Divina. Katie shares moving stories, like that of a woman who found comfort in prayer with a nativity image after a miscarriage, showcasing the profound healing power of this practice as it connects women to their faith through the Joyful Mysteries.
Through this episode, discover the enriching practice of Visio Divina and how it integrates with scripture to deepen your spiritual journey. We explore how imaginative prayer and visualizing biblical scenes can connect spiritual insights with personal experiences. Embrace the growing trend of authentic Catholicism, inspired by saints like St. Peter, and engage with modern movements focusing on renewal and healing. With resources like books and small groups, Katie's ministry, Behold Visio Divina, invites you to connect with God through art, prayer, and the sharing of personal faith stories that inspire and enlighten.
