This year’s ! Some announcements about the podcast and Season 4’s first episode with ! Also, Season 4’s last episode- the podcast’s 100th episode- with made the cut as well as the ep with ! Also in the top 9: a video I created for and my episode with ! All in all a great year for the podcast! Here’s to 2024 and season 5!
I love this time of year…time to gather with friends and family and a time to reflect on the past year. This year, I reached my 100th episode and 4th season of this podcast. This hobbyist project that started in the pandemic has continued to produce fruit for me spiritually and led to great reflection and conversations. I took a little break from it in the middle of this year, but am back at it recording episodes for Season 5 which will start January 16, 2024. I can’t believe Season 5 will mean a fourth year of doing this with 100+ episodes 🙀 Grateful for the support and can’t wait to see what 2024 brings!
Happy Wrapped Day! Thanks for being faithful followers and listeners! Can’t wait to get started with more content and guests in 2024! 🙌🙏
It’s time! Now we just need guests! Love a scripture passage that you haven’t heard discussed yet? Know someone who might be a great guest? Send me a direct message with your email for more information! Can’t wait for new conversations in 2024!
Surprise! I love the end of the liturgical year and also love this first reading from today’s Mass. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to bring the podcast back for a surprise episode. Only God knows what 2024 will bring, but as we come to the end of this liturgical year this month, I thought it was only appropriate to reflect a little and give you an update. Enjoy! 👂🙏🎧
This Sunday at Mass, we hear the parable of the talents which I discussed earlier this year with Dr. Susan Howell. I really loved our discussion. Why not go back and listen to prepare for Mass this week? 🙏🎧
I did another episode of Pop Culture Catechism with Mike Tenney! And it’s about a few of our favorite things: concerts, liturgy, and Taylor Swift! 🙌💕Really proud of this episode with my friend, Mike Tenney. Listen wherever you stream podcasts or watch on You Tube to see my Eras fit! 💁♀️

✨mini life update ✨ Hey, everyone! It’s been about 4-5 mos since the 100th episode of this podcast released. I’m still taking a break, but the Holy Spirit is not! I wanted to give y’all a mini-life update.
I was accepted into a program for spiritual direction here in Richmond which started this fall and I’m really excited about how the Lord is already working through those classes and sessions. I’m doing a lot of reading, writing, and praying these days- even more so than usual! I’ve also continued blogging and recently accepted another part time gig writing for a catechetical resource. I hope to return to the podcast in 2024, but I hope you all are enjoying this new fall season and that you are noticing the Spirit at work in your lives as well! 🍁🍂🙏
Been a minute since I’ve posted and I’m still taking a break from the podcast, but love that we’ve got a library of episodes to pull from and conversations to contemplate when we hear the readings at Mass! Today’s Gospel made me think of my conversation with from Season 2 and the first reading reminded me of a chat from Season 1 with Rosina from . You might want to go back and listen to reflect in the readings from Mass today!

Happy feast of Corpus Christi! 🙏 Why not celebrate this great feast of the Eucharist by relistening to my conversation with Deacon (now Father) Bruce on John’s Bread of Life discourse from Season 2?! 🙌🎧Happy summer and happy feast!
Happy Feast of Pentecost! It’s one of my favorite feasts and the end of the Easter season. Why not celebrate by listening to last year’s Ascension/Pentecost episode or revisit one of my very first episodes ever- Season 1, Ep 2- with my friend Michael from Liturgy Training Publications? Come, Holy Spirit! 🔥
We don’t talk about this verse enough 😂🥂🍷
Still taking a break, but if you want to chat this summer, send me a message!
100th episode aired this week ✨🙏🎧 🎉This podcast started in the pandemic when the world was shut down and we were at home seeking new ways to connect with others. I loved being able to interact with people through this medium and through Scripture in that time. As we adjust to life post-pandemic and our lives get busy again, it’s been harder to find guests and time to record episodes. I am definitely open to recording new episodes, but will be taking a break again as we get back to “normal”. I am grateful to all of my guests and listeners and hope to have some more Seven Mile Chats sooner rather than later. I am always open to seeking new ways to encounter Christ with others and Scripture is an amazing way to do that. I pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to lead and perhaps revive the podcast sometime soon! Until then…🙏

Happy Holy Week! This weekend we hear the readings for Palm Sunday which we happen to have chats about from 3 different episodes from some of the previous seasons! The first reading is from Isaiah which I discussed with my late great friend, Deacon Charles Williams, on season 1. The psalm is Psalm 22 which I discuss with on season 3. The second reading is from Philippians 2 which I discuss with my former colleague, Dave Ballintyn, also on season 1. Why not give these episodes a re- listen to start your Holy Week off right? 🙏✝️🌿

My guest earlier this month, , mentioned finding a “life verse” when we discussed the verse that has been important to her in her life. This week, I thought that I would share mine. This verse from Hebrews has been important to me in the last 20 or so years of my life. I also think that it happens to be a really great verse for Lent!
I will be taking another break as I am in need of guests to record new episodes for this season. If you or someone you know is interested in chatting with me, please send me a message.
Happy Lent! ✝️🙌🙏

Merry Christmas Eve! 2022 has been a good year, but started and is ending kind of sadly with lots of darkness and loved ones who are suffering. We feel this suffering, I believe, even more so in this time of cold, winter, and dark nights. There’s no coincidence that the Church places our feast of Christmas during this time. Christ’s coming into the world through Mary and the Holy Spirit as a newborn is light and hope in this time of physical and maybe spiritual darkness.
I decided to release a special bonus episode today reflecting on John’s introductory narrative that you may hear at Mass on Christmas Day. I hope that it provides a little light amid this cold and dark of winter as well.
Sending prayers of peace, joy, warmth, and hope to you and yours this Christmas season!

2 years, 3 seasons, and 70+ episodes (with more to come!) I started this podcast in the height of the pandemic, before vaccines and before I was sure that I would be back in a classroom. 2 years later, we are still dealing with Covid, but we are able to travel and do more, and I continue these chats because I love the connections and conversations about Scripture. Thanks for supporting and for listening these last two years! There is more to come! #podcaster #catholic #scripture #ministry #christianpodcast #catholicpodcast #catholicwomen
