ISSUE 11 | JULY 2025
Welcome to JRM's 2025 Summer Newsletter!
Here's a look at a few highlights from the past few months and some of the "new" we have in store in the months that are to come. May the Holy Spirit enkindle in us the fire of His Love as we feel the heat of the summer sun around us.
6-Session Series on Prayer
(CCC, Part IV)
In April and May of this year, Julia Monnin led a small group through Part IV of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (the section on prayer) in a Journeys Revealed Ministries’ An Intimate Sharing Between Friends series. Julia enthusiastically described the small group gatherings as “fruitful” and “enlightening.” You can learn more about the series here and listen to session four of this six-part series on The World Is Noisy - God Whispers® podcast here. Thank you to Holy Face of Jesus Parish and St. Joseph Church in Wapakoneta for hosting us!

Losing Matthew:
A Journey through Grief and Finding God’s Abiding Grace
+ + +
Nancy shares with readers the journey she had with bringing Matthew into the world and parting with him as he entered the next on the very same day. Physically Nancy’s body healed through the trauma of his birth and immediate death, but healing mentally through the loss was much more of a challenge. Click here to learn more about Nancy's journey and her book, Losing Matthew, which has been decades in the making.

Pilgrim Letters by Audrey
1 Year Anniversary
It's been one year since we launched Pilgrim Letters by Audrey Weatherhead. Each month Audrey shares a handwritten letter with some deeply beautiful and raw reflections on the faith as related to her own life and the universal liturgical calendar, encouraging and inviting readers into "something more." Each letter is accompanied by a custom card or small medal or gift that ties into the theme of the letter. As word spreads about Audrey's letters, more are subscribing and we are so overjoyed! Many have signed up loved ones and gifted the monthly subscription to high school graduates and some have even gifted them to their own mother for Mother's Day. Although these letters are geared toward young women, we are finding that women of all ages are relating to the beautiful messages within. Learn more about Audrey's letters at the link below.
(Pictured below is look at Audrey's letter from July 2025 with the custom card that was mailed with it.)
1 Year Anniversary of the Release of
Finding My Feminine
by Beth Dunn
+ + +
“In a riveting record from personal journals, Finding My Feminine shares the story of Beth Dunn’s soul: a female Baby Boomer raised Catholic in America who failed at romance with her boyfriend and instead found herself trying to experience love with a girlfriend. Driven by the basic need for love, but thwarted by her inability to draw close enough to either gender to satisfy her longing, Beth finally let God work on her behalf. This book shows how each of Beth’s halting steps brought her increased integration as she confessed her weaknesses, forgave those who wounded her, lived chastely, and most of all, received the Father’s love as His daughter—both beautiful and feminine.”
June 1st marked the one year anniversary of the release of Finding My Feminine. Beth's story has a little something for everyone. Aside from the main theme of her search for identity as described above, Beth shares stories of adventure, declining health, and the trials and beauty of marriage. If you haven't picked up your copy of Finding My Feminine yet, you can get it here.
