Persistence in Prayer with Kylie Hein

Welcome to the Persistence in Prayer podcast — where Catholic women who feel scattered, stretched thin, and pulled in a million directions can stop overthinking, quiet the noise, and find peace in God’s presence.

Do you push through each day chasing productivity, yet feel like your soul is running on empty?

Do you long to pray with focus, but your mind spins with stress, decisions, and distractions?

Do you want clarity in your faith, but feel weighed down by pressure to be “the good one” or “get it right”?

You’re not alone.

Hosted by Catholic mindset coach, spiritual director, wife, mom, and speaker Kylie Hein, this podcast helps overwhelmed Catholic women clear the mental clutter and reclaim space for prayer, trust, and peace.

Each episode offers:

Simple Catholic prayer practices you can actually use in busy life
Real-life stories of women overcoming stress, perfectionism, and anxiety
Honest conversations about faith, surrender, and discernment
Tools rooted in Scripture, the saints, and Church teaching for peace of mind and soul

You’ll discover how to:

Pray when you feel distracted, stressed, or spiritually dry
Hear God’s voice in the middle of your busy schedule
Discern decisions with peace and confidence
Break free from perfectionism and self-reliance
Live with greater trust, surrender, and clarity of purpose

Whether you’re feeling spiritually stuck or longing to go deeper, there’s a place for you here.

It’s time to step out of the spiral, begin again, and experience the freedom that comes from persistence in prayer.

Because when your soul is ordered in God, your life becomes rooted in His peace.

In this final episode of the year on Persistence in Prayer, host Kylie Hein is joined by Jill Simons, the Executive Director at Many Parts Ministries, to discuss the concept of charisms.

Jill shares her journey of discovering charisms, their significance, and how they impact both personal and communal spiritual lives. They delve into how to discern one's charisms, the importance of acknowledging and operating within these God-given gifts, and the role of charisms in avoiding burnout and fostering the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Jill also touches on the challenges of comparison, the importance of trust, and setting boundaries in our spiritual journeys.

While self-improvement and personal development is significant to growing in your relationship with Christ, knowing your charisms takes you beyond yourself, to show you how you are uniquely called to build up the body of Christ. This episode is a great reminder to reflect on how God is calling you to utilize the gifts of the Holy Spirit in this upcoming year!
