Learn • Live • Fly: Saying Yes to Promptings, Purpose, and Everyday Miracles with Livia Pewtress
Send us a Text Message! We would love to hear from you!
What if your life changed by simply saying “yes” to God—one small prompting at a time? In this tender, faith-filled episode, Mary Black sits down with Livia Pewtress (Learn • Live • Fly) to talk about “God moments,” living a consecrated life, and how head-knowledge becomes heart-living—and then, with God, you fly.
Livia shares her story as a devoted mom of five, creator, and community builder whose work centers on listening, obedience, and practical spiritual disciplines. She opens up about founding The Consecrated Life Project, the meaning behind Learn • Live • Fly (head → heart → Holy Spirit), and how tiny acts of showing up can ripple into miracles for many.
You’ll hear:
- How to notice and act on promptings (even when they don’t make sense yet)
- “Learn • Live • Fly”: moving truth from the head to the heart—and into Spirit-led action
- Why “showing up” (imperfectly) invites miracles and multiplies blessings
- Creating sanctuary: in your heart, home, community, and eventually in the world
- Discernment, boundaries, and choosing what keeps your light bright
- Practical encouragement for faith, family, health, and purpose-driven work
