Saint Walter Church - Coping With Jesus

72 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago - ★★★★★ - 6 ratings

Saint Walter Church in Roselle began this podcast, Coping with Jesus, initially entirely by women for women. This podcast came to fruition after seeing so many of our parishioners and friends having difficulty coping with the pandemic and all the changes that have resulted from it. We started to look at what could help more than listen to other women, some friends and some unknowns, who are using Jesus as their model to help them cope. The first season we began by looking at the 12 examples within scripture where Jesus modeled to us how to cope through prayer and communication with the Father. Each Season that followed has always brought Jesus back into focus, but has resulted in some spiritual sharing and lessons that seem to fulfill us all.Join us each week as Donna Burke, Discipleship Coordinator with Saint Walter Church, and Julie Majovsky, Director of Communication and Technology speak with various women about their journey following Christ.
