139 How to Know if Your Spiritual Life is Healthy
The Art of Catholic with Matthew Leonard
A couple of weeks ago, I was interviewed on the EWTN show Take 2 with Jerry & Debbie about my discovery of the Catholic spiritual life a few years after I entered the Church. As a brand new Catholic, I didn't yet understand the incredible spiritual patrimony that was ours. But once I learned more about it...and began to practice it...that's when everything changed! And it was such a powerful conversation that I'm sharing it with you on the Art of Catholic podcast. You'll hear us talk about some of my story, as well as some spiritually crucial topics such as: • What a healthy interior...

We all need healing...every last one of us.
And the latest Art of Catholic Podcast episode explores a bit of a different, but powerful angle on the topic that can make all the difference when it comes to healing deep emotional wounds and finding true freedom.
Most Catholics are at least somewhat familiar with the idea of redemptive suffering.
It's what your mom was referring to every time you stubbed your toe as a kid and she'd tell you to "offer it up."
Redemptive suffering takes place when we unite our own trials to Christ's through a simple act of the will and obtain graces for ourselves and others.
But have you ever heard of redemptive healing?
In my conversation with Catholic psychologist and Franciscan University of Steubenville professor Dr. Matthew Breuninger, we discuss what redemptive healing is and why approaching inner healing through a trusting relationship with God is the only way to make real progress.
We also hit topics like:
-The powerful role of forgiveness in healing
-How suffering mistakenly becomes normalized
-Why living for security robs us of freedom
-The difference between pain and suffering
-How we can experience freedom in Christ and still carry wounds.
So if you or anyone you know has struggled to heal from interior wounds, this is an episode you don't want to miss.
