In this episode of Why I Believe, I sit down with Marianne Callaghan; wife, mom, and Director of Faith Formation, to talk about what it really looks like to move from simply knowing your faith\u2026 to truly living it. Raised in the Catholic Church, Marianne always had faith, but it wasn\u2019t until later in life, through marriage, motherhood, loss, and personal surrender, that her relationship with God became real and deeply personal. From struggling with infertility and loss to walking alongside families in their faith journeys, Marianne shares how God has shown up in both the hardest and most beautiful moments of her life. And then\u2026 there\u2019s the moment she can\u2019t explain away. While in prayer, Marianne asked God (through the Blessed Mother) to bring peace to her son. That same night, without knowing her prayer, her son experienced that exact message. We talk about:  The difference between knowing faith and owning it How suffering can deepen, not weaken, your relationship with God The power of prayer and learning to truly listen Why community is essential in your faith journey  Practical ways to begin building a relationship with God How God still speaks\u2026 if we\u2019re willing to hear Him  Marianne\u2019s story is a powerful reminder that faith isn\u2019t just something you inherit\u2026 It\u2019s something you choose, grow into, and live out daily. If you\u2019ve ever wondered how to hear God\u2019s voice, where to start, or how to deepen your faith, this episode will meet you right where you are.
