#118 When Trust Feels Hard: God’s Goodness in the Waiting with Jennifer Collado Artwork

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.

When life doesn’t unfold the way we hoped, trusting God can feel almost impossible. We’ve all faced moments like these when our dreams don’t unfold the way we imagined.

And you feel caught in the tension between wanting to trust and wondering if God is really that good. And yes, I know that it's hard to admit.

If you've ever wrestled with control, struggled to connect with God the Father, or found yourself in a season where prayer feels more like waiting than receiving, then this conversation is definitely for you.

In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, I am joined by Jennifer Collado. a fire-filled Catholic speaker and spiritual director passionate about witnessing revival in the church. With over 25 years in the charismatic renewal, she has led parish groups, lay communities, and online platforms, ministering in healing, prophecy, and spirit-led formation.

Jennifer shares her journey of letting go of control, rediscovering who she is in Christ, and learning to walk in the freedom of the Holy Spirit. You’ll be encouraged to let go and lean into God's goodness.
