Your Portal · Private & Held in Prayer

# Welcome, *Katherine.*

A private space for our shared work — held between us, and held in prayer.

“A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you.”

Ezekiel 36:26

A New Gift Resource Pod

## After our *session.*

A short recorded message of encouragement after each session — the recap of what we discerned, the resources we spoke of, and the next step we agreed. Press play whenever you need to remember.

Episode 4 · June 18, 2026 Latest

The shape of the ask

6:24

**Recap:** We explored the invitation to bring the Anderson family into deeper partnership. What surfaced: the ask is not for money — it is for participation in a mission that has already claimed them. We spoke of holding the July 12 meeting with hands open, not scripted.

Next Step We Agreed

Draft the letter you'll send ahead of the July 12 meeting. One page. Do not fundraise in it — invite.

Episode 3 · June 4, 2026

Rightly ordering the year

5:18

**Recap:** We mapped your year around Advent, Lent, and the summer retreat — placing the asks after formation moments, not before them. The pattern: seek first the Kingdom, then the resources follow.

Next Step We Agreed

Try the Ignatian daily examen for two weeks and notice what surfaces about your Fall calendar.

Episode 2 · May 21, 2026

Naming the interior obstacle

4:52

**Recap:** You named the fear of asking as its own kind of idolatry — a small heart of stone. We sat with Ezekiel 36:26 together.

Next Step We Agreed

Journal one paragraph each morning for a week on where you sense a heart of flesh growing.

Your Reflections

## A place for your *own words.*

Anything you write here stays on your device. It is private to you — not visible to Valerie or anyone else. Use it for journaling between sessions, capturing what stirs you as you listen back, or simply thinking on paper.
