Go Forth With Heather & Becky

Join us for episode 90 with your favorite hosts-Heather & Becky!  While this may come as a surprise to many, we are using this episode as an opportunity to announce that we will not be releasing new episodes in 2018, and that we feel called to take a step away from the podcast at this time.  In this episode, we discuss how we individually and jointly discerned this decision, and what the podcast has meant to us.  We are so thankful to God for the many opportunities that this podcast has brought into our lives, and can't wait to see what God may call us to say "yes" to in the future.  We hope this podcast has inspired you over the years, and we cannot thank you enough for being our listeners.     We can't just leave you with that, though, so we have decided to do one final giveaway!  Listen to the episode for details-our two winners will be notified on Monday, January 15th!     Find us at: www.facebook.com/goforthpodcast   www.goforthpodcast.com     or e-mail us at: goforthpodcast@gmail.com  

Vicki Burbach is a wife, mother, and author who lives with her family in Elkhorn, NE.  She is a lifelong voracious reader, and feels that God used this passion of hers to draw her to Himself during her conversion experience.  Vicki is passionate about spiritual reading, and feels that spiritual reading is for those who love to read, and for those who may prefer to avoid it.  In this episode, we chat with her about her book 'How to Read Your Way to Heaven,' and her advice for those of us wishing (and maybe also those of us on the fence) to improve our experience of spiritual reading.  This is a fun and timely episode for those wishing to incorporate reading into their spiritual life in 2018.  Enjoy and have a wonderful week!   Please continue to share our episodes on Facebook, and don't forget to hop on over to iTunes to subscribe and leave us a comment and rating.  We are so grateful for your support!   Find us at: www.facebook.com/goforthpodcast www.goforthpodcast.com   or e-mail us at: goforthpodca

Stacy Thomlison is a self-proclaimed adventure enthusiast who we were able to connect with while she was in Lincoln, NE but is soon returning to her current home in Rwanda.  Stacy is a gifted storyteller who shares her conversion story with us in this episode and it is likely unlike any you have heard before.  She talks about her time as a Jehovah's Witness as a child prior to her parent's divorce, how she became indifferent to God following that, became interested in Wicca for a period in her teenage years, and then found Jesus and was baptized into the Lutheran church, finally landing into the Catholic Church following her brother's conversion and eventual ordination to the priesthood-phew!  Can you tell this is going to be a good one?  We love so much the overarching theme of how God loves us so much that He allows us the gift of free will but never stops calling us to Himself.  We know you will be inspired by Stacy's words!     Find us at: www.facebook.com/goforthpodcast www.goforthpodcast.com   or

This is our second time to have Fr. Nathan Cromley on our show, and you will instantly understand why we've invited him twice.  In this episode, we talk with him about one of his favorite topics-the Blessed Virgin Mary.  We discuss why Mary's role in our lives can feel complicated, and how (and why) we can incorporate a relationship with Mary into our own spiritual lives.  If you have ever wondered what the Church teaches about Mary, this episode will be a wonderful jumping off place for you!  We chat about our own relationships with Mary, and the conversation moves easily from silly to deep theology.  We hope you enjoy and walk away knowing a bit more about Mary during this Advent season.     Please continue to share our episodes on Facebook, and don't forget to hop on over to iTunes to subscribe and leave us a comment and rating.  We are so grateful for your support!   Find us at: www.facebook.com/goforthpodcast   www.goforthpodcast.com   or e-mail us at: goforthpodcast@gmail.com  

Travis Ptacek is a Resident in Family Medicine in Rapid City, SD as well as a husband and father to a sweet baby boy.  In this episode we chat with Travis about how he fell away from the Catholic Church and into atheism for a period of around 8 years-he talks about what led him back to Christianity and eventually back where he started as a Catholic.  His journey is so beautiful and we know you will walk away from this episode feeling inspired by just how much God loves each and every one of us and how he created us all on purpose and for a purpose!  Travis is so wise and you will be floored at the fact that this conversion happened so recently in his life.     Find us at: www.facebook.com/goforthpodcast www.goforthpodcast.com   or e-mail us at: goforthpodcast@gmail.com   Be a part of our financial support team: goforthpodcast.com/donate

Jenna Guizar is a wife and mother from Phoenix, AZ who saw a gap in the way women were connecting in the Church and decided to start an online ministry known as Blessed Is She.  We chat with Jenna about how God called her to start this ministry out of a place of yearning and brokenness, and what God has done in her life as a result.  She shares with us what Blessed Is She is all about, and how you can get involved where you are.  We will encourage you that you do not have to be perfect to do something BIG for God, and that it is ALL big in HIS eyes.  We are confident that you will leave this fun conversation feeling encouraged and motivated to say "Yes!" to the Lord's prompting in your life. y9bpgv88     Find us at: www.facebook.com/goforthpodcast www.goforthpodcast.com   or e-mail us at: goforthpodcast@gmail.com   Be a part of our financial support team: goforthpodcast.com/donate

Brother Augustine is a member of the Knights of the Holy Eucharist which was founded by Mother Angelica and has recently relocated their order to Lincoln, NE.  We have had multiple people suggest we have one of the Brothers as a guest, and we are so excited to share this episode with you.  We chatted with Brother Augustine about his daily life as a Brother and how he discerned his vocation there.  He chatted with us about the history of the order and some of the incredible ways God worked through Mother Angelica to found the order.  We loved our conversation with Br. Augustine and he has some beautiful thoughts about the Eucharist and how we can all come to love spending time with the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.     Find us at: www.facebook.com/goforthpodcast   www.goforthpodcast.com     or e-mail us at: goforthpodcast@gmail.com   Be a part of our financial support team: goforthpodcast.com/donate

Fr. Troy Schweiger is a priest who serves at St. Patrick's parish in Lincoln, NE.  We invited Fr. Schweiger to join us for a conversation about the construction of his current parish and all that God did during the construction process.  We were so inspired by how his parish came together to make a beautiful home for the Lord, and how important each and every detail was!  Perhaps most incredible is how they constructed their own pews and the way this process was able to incorporate the gifts and abilities of many members of their parish.  This episode will inspire you to see the beauty in your own spiritual home, and better appreciate how God cares about ALL the details of your life! We know you will enjoy this talk with Fr. Schweiger! Enjoy and have a wonderful week!   Please continue to share our episodes on Facebook, and don't forget to hop on over to iTunes to subscribe and leave us a comment and rating.  We are so grateful for your support!   Find us at: www.facebook.com/goforthpodcast   Check ou

We're off this week, friends, but wanted to wish you a very happy Feast Day tomorrow!

Brandon is a well-known Catholic author, speaker, and innovator who serves as the Content Director for Bishop Baron's Word on Fire Ministries and resides in the Sunshine State.  There is very little that he is NOT doing to evangelize others, and he even manages to have a dynamic family life with his wife and five (and one on the way!) children.  We were thrilled to have this opportunity to chat with Brandon specifically about his work engaging atheists and those on the fringes of Christianity and Catholicism.  If you are like us, the thought of doing this might inspire a bit of fear and trembling, but have no fear as Brandon provides us with some tips for engaging those who disagree with us in a manner that is both simple and loving.  We are confident you will enjoy our talk with Brandon and be inspired by his work and personal faith journey.     Please continue to share our episodes on Facebook, and don't forget to hop on over to iTunes to subscribe and leave us a comment and rating.  We are so grateful f

Father Loras Grell is making his second appearance on our show to share with us about his recent trip to Oklahoma City, OK for the Beatification Mass for Fr. Stanley Rother. In this episode, Fr. Grell shares with us what he has learned about the heroic life of Fr. Rother that led ultimately to his martyrdom. We feel this is a timely discussion for you, our listeners, as the world can certainly use more beauty in light of recent natural disasters and man-made tragedies. The story of Fr. Rother's life is so incredibly beautiful, and we are confident you will be inspired by Fr. Grell's telling of the life of this "ordinary martyr."  Please continue to share our episodes on Facebook, and don't forget to hop on over to iTunes to subscribe and leave us a comment and rating.  Find us at: www.facebook.com/goforthpodcast www.goforthpodcast.com or e-mail us at  goforthpodcast@gmail.com     Be a part of our financial support team: goforthpodcast.com/donate

When a devastating hurricane hit close to our guest's home, we needed to come up with a new plan for our scheduled episode. We had so much fun recording the Q+A episode we did this summer that we decided we'd bring you another one! In this episode we answer questions on a variety of topics ranging from what is going on in our spiritual lives, what we are currently reading, to our most embarrassing moments. Sometimes serious, sometimes frivolous, we hope this episode can be a much-needed bright spot in your day in a week that has started with such profound sadness in our country.

Jim Bertrand is a husband and father who describes himself as an "everyday science teacher" and resides in Lincoln, NE. A few years ago, Jim met Jesus in an unusual way when he began learning about the Shroud of Turin, and presenting information about the Shroud with others. Jim's wealth of knowledge will inspire you profoundly, and we especially loved the details that are present in the Shroud that help bring Jesus to life. This episode was very fun and informative, and we are confident it will be yet another beautiful reminder for you of just how good our God is.

In this super fun episode, Jeff shares with us the story of his adult life and how God has pursued him without ceasing and woven together the threads of his life into such a beautiful work of art. We were seriously stunned at some of the incredible things God has done in Jeff's life, and found them to be a beautiful reminder of the way our Lord never stops pursuing each one of us. We hope this episode inspires you to see the beauty in your own story, and to have faith that even in the midst of seemingly random obstacles or opportunities, God is there.

Andi is a wife, mother and grandmother from Maryland who has spent many years serving the pro-life movement through her work in crisis pregnancy centers. In this episode she shares with us about when she found herself pregnant and facing an aggressive breast cancer. At that time, many doctors refused to treat her cancer until she aborted her baby, bringing sanctity of life issues right into her own home. We chat about her faith that God would take care of her and her unborn baby, and how God has since used this experience to help her reach others and encourage them to choose life. This episode is so inspiring, and we are confident you will love Andi as much as we do by the end as she is a beautiful story-teller with a lot of spunk!

Logan is a husband and father of three who works as a FOCUS missionary at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. We have heard through the grapevine that Logan has a passion for growing in his role as an earthly father and encouraging other men to do the same, and we were so excited to have him on our show! In this episode he shares about how he has worked to live his fatherhood with intentionality and what practical steps he has taken to continuously work on being the best he can be for his family. To do this, Logan has created a "toolbox" to help hold himself accountable, and we discuss this extensively and how you can create your own "toolbox". If you are not a father, fear not! This episode is still for you, and will help you in your mothering (if you are a mother), or will help you come alongside the fathers in your life to help them to live out their vocation with intentionality and joy! Enjoy and have a wonderful week! Check out our website to access Logan's "Toolbox" PDF! Connect with us at: facebook.com
