Where your questions are welcome. Where you don't have to pretend you've already arrived at Easter morning."

Eastman — Finding God in Ordinary Moments, Thin Spaces and the Wisdom of Julian of Norwich full a2433bc0-bec1-44b2-ad2c-c3394188883e https://share.transistor.fm/s/5ad7cccd Where do we encounter God—in extraordinary mountaintop moments, or in the quiet rhythms of everyday life?

In this episode of the Faith & Resilience Podcast, Rev. Ellen Corcella welcomes Pastor Tara Eastman for a thoughtful conversation about resilience rooted in faith, creativity, and community. 

Tara shares her evolving understanding of theopoetics—a creative engagement with God through poetry, art, contemplation, and community. Drawing on the wisdom of Julian of Norwich, she reflects on the famous vision of the hazelnut, a reminder that all creation exists because God made it, loves it, and keeps it.

Through practices such as Lectio Divina and Visio Divina, Tara invites us to discover “thin spaces,” those moments when the sacred feels especially close. She reads her poem “Thin Space Day,” which finds holiness in ordinary routines—carpool lines, lunchtime walks, coffee breaks, and daily commutes.

As the season of Lent reminds us that faith often unfolds in wilderness spaces, this conversation offers this hopeful reminder: God’s presence even in the most ordinary moments of our day.

]]> No Ellen Corcella Loren Richmond Jr. She Kept Living: Wisdom Gained Through Grief with Rev. Dr. Lynel Beaty 12 12 She Kept Living: Wisdom Gained Through Grief with Rev. Dr. Lynel Beaty full 0a60a22a-88a6-4d57-a2e9-1166555d7881 https://share.transistor.fm/s/49971bcf In this episode, Rev. Dr. Lynel Beaty speaks with host Ellen Corcella about navigating grief. Dr. Beaty recounts her deeply personal story of her husband's unexpected death at 60 years old, illuminating the pain, dashed expectations, and upended relationships that follow the loss of a loved one. Dr. Beaty reminds us that such events may shatter our faith, but faith also allows us to reframe our grief and remind us to keep living.

Key Lessons from This Episode

  1. There will be hard times where we simply go through the motions of life.
  2. Over time, we can reframe our understanding of grief, allowing us to move forward with our grief.
  3. If you are grieving, it is okay to feel emotion, to acknowledge empty seats around holiday tables, and crying is perfectly normal. After all, we are human beings.
  4. If you are supporting someone who is grieving, let them feel what they need to feel. Do not try to make them happy or move them away from their feelings, they will be very grateful.



About the Guest

Rev. Dr. Lynel Brooks Beaty is a compassionate faith leader, chaplain, and innovator in spiritual care. A board-certified chaplain with years of experience, Dr. Beaty is the Founder of Alice's Hope, LLC, a comprehensive grief support program.

In her book, She Kept Living: A Meditative Journal, Dr. Beaty reminds us that there is no blueprint for navigating life after losing a loved one. In the book, the author invites those who are grieving to use writing as a tool to heal your mind, body, and soul, providing personal reflections, writing prompts, and scriptures that will help you reflect on your grief journey so you can keep living. The book is available on Amazon and other online retailers. Find Dr. Beaty on Linkedin and at Alice’s Hope.

Faith & Resilience is a podcast for those seeking to navigate life's complexities with hope, faith, and courage. Each episode offers contemplative exploration of how we can live out our deepest values in an anxious world.

]]> In this episode, Rev. Dr. Lynel Beaty speaks with host Ellen Corcella about navigating grief. Dr. Beaty recounts her deeply personal story of her husband's unexpected death at 60 years old, illuminating the pain, dashed expectations, and upended relationships that follow the loss of a loved one. Dr. Beaty reminds us that such events may shatter our faith, but faith also allows us to reframe our grief and remind us to keep living.

Key Lessons from This Episode

  1. There will be hard times where we simply go through the motions of life.
  2. Over time, we can reframe our understanding of grief, allowing us to move forward with our grief.
  3. If you are grieving, it is okay to feel emotion, to acknowledge empty seats around holiday tables, and crying is perfectly normal. After all, we are human beings.
  4. If you are supporting someone who is grieving, let them feel what they need to feel. Do not try to make them happy or move them away from their feelings, they will be very grateful.

When hunger returns to the faces of children. When we're tempted to turn away from our neighbor's suffering—what then?

In this episode, Ellen Corcella explores the life and legacy of Dorothy Day, a bohemian writer who became one of the twentieth century's most powerful voices for the poor. Day's journey from Greenwich Village radical to Catholic Worker founder offers profound lessons for anyone seeking to live out their faith in action.

Through Day's famous call for a "revolution of the heart," this episode examines what it means to:

  • Repair our hardened hearts
  • Honor the dignity of all people
  • See the spark of the divine in each other
  • Practice faith through daily spiritual disciplines
  • Build transformative community

Whether you're grappling with how to respond to economic injustice, searching for ways to serve your community, or simply seeking to deepen your faith practice, Dorothy Day's life offers four essential guideposts: transformation takes time, persistence and trust matter, faith requires practice, and we cannot go it alone.

  • Luke 14:13-14 - "When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind"
  • Luke 4:18 / Isaiah 61:1 - "To proclaim good news to the poor... to set the oppressed free"
  • Micah 6:8 - "Seek justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God"

]]> No Ellen Corcella How Do We Walk with the Vulnerable? Wise words with Jennifer Garcia Bashaw at the Wild Goose Festival 9 9 How Do We Walk with the Vulnerable? Wise words with Jennifer Garcia Bashaw at the Wild Goose Festival full 32595111-918f-4626-a912-5e4df0dc98b7 https://share.transistor.fm/s/adf04cac What if we've been reading the Gospels wrong? In this powerful conversation recorded live at the 2025 Wild Goose Festival, theologian and author Jennifer Bashaw challenges us to flip the script on familiar Gospel stories. Instead of focusing solely on Jesus's death, Bashaw reveals how Jesus consistently positioned himself alongside society's scapegoats—women, the poor, infirm and the outsider. Through this lens, we discover how Jesus exposed the scapegoating mechanisms that create victims in the first place. This episode will transform how you read Scripture and help all of us recognize the dangerous patterns of scapegoating still playing out in our communities today.

Key Takeaways

Recognize the Pattern: Learn to identify when political, religious, and social leaders use scapegoating tactics—blaming marginalized groups (immigrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, racial minorities) for complex societal problems. These tactics distract from problem solving and accountability.

Amplify Silenced Voices: Move beyond speaking about marginalized communities to creating space for them to speak for themselves. 

Choose Companionship Over Control: Jesus modeled walking alongside the vulnerable rather than exercising power over them. This challenges us to examine where we seek dominion versus where we offer genuine solidarity—in our congregations, places of worship, families, workplaces, and communities.

Episode Summary

In this inspiring episode, host Ellen Corcella explores the extraordinary life of Mother Frances Cabrini, drawing from the recent film "Cabrini." Despite facing enormous opposition from church and city officials, this poor immigrant nun arrived in New York City in 1889 and built the largest charitable organization in the world. Working in the disease-ridden slums of Five Points Manhattan, she established nearly 70 hospitals, schools, and aid institutions across multiple continents in just thirty-four years. Ellen examines how Mother Cabrini's life serves as an antidote to our contemporary sense of futility, demonstrating that through faithful persistence and prophetic imagination, we can become architects of hope rather than empires of outrage.

Key Lessons We Can Learn from Mother Cabrini

Faith - Mother Cabrini lived with confidence in what was hoped for and assurance of what she did not see. Her actions stemmed from steadfast trust in God and love of God's people.

Tenacity - Mother Cabrini did not take "no" for an answer. 

Imagination - Mother Cabrini possessed what theologian Walter Brueggemann described as "prophetic imagination" - the ability to see beyond current limitations to envision what can be healed, restored, or created in God's world. 

Call - Mother Cabrini understood what is required of people of faith - "do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God." Micah 6:8

Courage - Mother Cabrini did not conduct risk assessments or calculate odds of success. She was simply a determined spirit to proceed.

Rev. Corcella lifts up a countercultural faith perspective on generosity in which we are encouraged to be open to sharing, giving and integrating with others and our community. 

The podcast shares ways in which generosity opens our hearts to ourselves, each other and our communities. 


1.     Generosity loosens the grip on our hearts, allowing us to enter the world in grace and to offer unconditional love. 


2.     We begin to see others not as competitors for scarce resources, but as fellow human beings deserving of dignity and care. 


3.     We start to ask different questions, i.e., instead of asking "Do they deserve this?" we can begin to ask, "How can I help?" 


4.     When we operate from an abundance rather than scarcity, we are better able to live with confidence in things hoped for and the assurance of things not seen.


5.     The practice of generosity increases our capacity for empathy and compassion

Rev. Corcella lifts up the selection of Robert Francis Prevost, as the successor to Pope Francis. To be known as Pope Leo XIV, the new Pope’s first words to the assembled crowd outside of St. Peter’s Basilica were “Peace be with you.” Pope Leo XIV’s words harken back to Jesus’ words when he greeted his followers in the upper room after his resurrection. The peace spoken aloud by Jesus and Pope Leo XIV is not just about the absence of conflict, it is also about centering ourselves in God’s abiding love,
allowing us to remain true to our sacred values and to respond to the world’s chaos from a space of reflection and wisdom. The podcast offers simple and effective steps we can take to restore and renew a sense of internal peace including:

1. Taking time each day to reset ourselves through mindful breathing and centering prayer.

2. Set meaningful boundaries to preserve our peace whether that is time in nature or controlling the endless flow of information through social media and elsewhere; and

3. Take time to know and cultivate the sacred values that bring genuine value and well-being to our lives and the lives of our neighbors, through prayer, reading devotionals, sacred texts, and attending to the sacred in community and helping one another.

Achieving peace is always a process and a practice. Each time we choose love over fear, compassion over judgement and calm over reactivity, we strengthen our capacity for peace. If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe and leave us a review, we would love to hear from you.

2. Set meaningful boundaries to preserve our peace whether that is time in nature or controlling the endless flow of information through social media and elsewhere; and

3. Take time to know and cultivate the sacred values that bring genuine value and well-being to our lives and the lives of our neighbors, through prayer, reading devotionals, sacred texts, and attending to the sacred in community and helping one another.

Achieving peace is always a process and a practice. Each time we choose love over fear, compassion over judgement and calm over reactivity, we strengthen our capacity for peace. If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe and leave us a review, we would love to hear from you.

Rev. Corcella lifts up the selection of Robert Francis Prevost, as the successor to Pope Francis. To be known as Pope Leo XIV, the new Pope’s first words to the assembled crowd outside of St. Peter’s Basilica were “Peace be with you.” Pope Leo XIV’s words harken back to Jesus’ words when he greeted his followers in the upper room after his resurrection. The peace spoken aloud by Jesus and Pope Leo XIV is not just about the absence of conflict, it is also about centering ourselves in God’s abiding love,

Rev. Corcella take a look at the spiritually exhausting demands of secular life, those external factors that have little to do with who we are as children of God. The question is how can we begin to anchor ourselves in times of stress, worry, uncertainty and confusion. Rev. Corcella reminds us that we are loved by God, that we are God’s beloved and no one and no thing can take God’s love away from us.  While this is not an easy process, Rev. Corcella encourages us to reject the world’s efforts to define and assess the value of our lives and to take time to nurture our spiritual values of love, compassion, generosity and compassion.
