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.

#139 Unity Doesn’t Mean Sameness: Identity, Belonging, and the Catholic Faith with Angela Costley
Many Catholics carry an unspoken assumption that belonging in the Church means setting parts of yourself aside — your background, culture, or story — in order to “fit.”
But the Catholic faith has never been about sameness.
In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, Kylie is joined by Angela Costley, a Hebrew Catholic theologian and contributor to From Sinai to Rome, to explore what it means to live fully Catholic without erasing one’s Jewish identity — and why this matters for the whole Church.
Together, they discuss:
- What it means to be a Hebrew Catholic (and why the term matters)
- How Jewish identity and Catholic faith are not in competition, but deeply connected
- Why unity in the Church does not require uniformity
- How honoring personal and cultural identity can actually deepen faith and prayer
- What this teaches all Catholics about belonging, continuity, and communion
This conversation isn’t just about Hebrew Catholics — it’s about the broader truth that God works through real people, real histories, and real cultures to build one Body.
If you’ve ever wondered where your own story fits in the life of the Church, this episode offers clarity, depth, and a wider vision of unity.
