  • How do the sacraments interact with our relationship with Jesus?
  • (18:10) Lizeth – My relationship with Jesus has been strengthened and going back to church after 10 years.  Going to confession.  Had a fibroid that miraculously disappeared.  It was the size of a cantaloupe.

(22:10) Break 1

  • What dos the bible have to do with a relationship with Jesus?
  • (27:54) Sebastian – What do you tell somebody who has drifted from God because he would beg God to give him a sign because he wanted to have a sensory experience? He’s resorted to removing God from the equation and says he has found peace in his life.
  • Carolyn – Going through hard time. Betrayed by husband after 48 years.  Struggling to hear the Lord.  Husband had a strong conversion, but I feel left hanging with a lot of emotional heartache.  Could you give me some guidance or help?
