Getting PersoNell with Christ

I Am a Listener

Ever watch two aunties yell “What you said?!” back and forth—and somehow still have a full conversation? In this episode, Nellani shares a hilarious real-life moment with her grandma and aunty that turns into a deeper reflection on how we often hear but don’t really listen.
From family laughs to faith truths, we explore how listening—truly listening—can transform our relationships with others and with God. Plus, with the passing of Pope Francis, we reflect on how the cardinals must now become deep listeners of the Holy Spirit as they prepare to choose our next pope.
Let’s learn to be slow to speak, quick to listen, and ready to receive God’s voice in this noisy world.

Why Catholicism? | Jennifer’s Story of Prayer, Perseverance, and Choosing Faith

In this powerful episode of Getting PersoNell with Christ, Nell chats with her friend Jennifer, whose journey into the Catholic faith began not through tradition, but through a personal choice—and a deep, unwavering prayer life.
From a young age, Jennifer chose Catholicism on her own, drawn not by pressure but by a pull to something greater. She opens up about how prayer became her foundation, her comfort, and her compass. Whether in moments of clarity or confusion, joy or hardship, she kept showing up—rosary in hand, heart wide open.
This episode is a beautiful reminder that faith isn’t always inherited—it’s often built in silence, through whispers of hope and consistent conversation with God.
✨ If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to choose faith and keep choosing it, this one's for you.

In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, I sit down with my sister to talk story about Adore: The Eucharistic Revival Musical, the autobiographical show inspired by our real-life journey.

From behind-the-scenes laughs to tear-jerking moments, this episode is a beautiful blend of family, faith, and finding God in our real-life story. You don’t want to miss it!

I Am His: You Belong

 
Have you ever questioned where you truly belong? In this episode of Getting PersoNell with Christ, we dive deep into  the Parable of the Lost Sheep to uncover the powerful truth that you are seen, known, and fully claimed by God. No matter your past or your present, Jesus is the Shepherd who calls you by name and says, “You are Mine.”

Comparison is the Thief of Joy: Saint Therese's Garden of Souls

In this heart-to-heart episode, I’m joined by my best friend Nicole Leyco as we talk story about the real and raw ways comparison has gotten the best of us—especially in our friendship, faith journeys, and even how we see our own holiness.
We open up about the times we’ve measured ourselves against each other, wrestled with not feeling “holy enough,” and how social media, ministry life, and even Lent can feed that mindset. But through it all, we lean into the gentle wisdom of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, who reminds us that each soul is like a unique flower in God’s garden.
Join us as we laugh, reflect, and reclaim our joy—reminding ourselves and our listeners that you don’t have to be a rose to be beautiful in God’s eyes. You just have to bloom as you are. 🌻
