A Letter to the Woman Surrendering even Her Gifts and Talents to the Lord // Claire Dwyer
In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Claire Dwyer. She’s the author of “This Present Paradise,” a book about the life of this amazing saint that has topped Amazon charts and sold out multiple times over the past few months.
Claire shares about her friendship with St. Elizabeth of the Trinity and what she’s taught her about dreams, suffering, and rejecting the lie that she’s unlovable or unworthy.
We’re also diving into the fact that the saints are HUMAN and that they have personalities, and how to recognize those personalities as we grow in friendship with them as Catholic women.
If you’re in a season where you’re having to sacrifice things to the Lord and lay even the gifts and talents he’s given you at his feet, and you’re wondering how in the world that could possibly be his plan or something he’ll be glorified in, sister, this letter is for you.
