This Whole Life
How does our mental health relate to our faith? How can we become whole while living in a broken world? Every day, we all strive to encounter God amidst the challenges of balancing faith and family, work and leisure, our sense of self and complicated relationships. Pat & Kenna Millea bring joy, hope, and wisdom to those who believe there *is* a connection between holiness and happiness. Kenna is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist; Pat served for 15 years as a youth minister; together they have 7 children and a perfectly imperfect marriage. From their education and experience, they share tools, resources, interviews, and stories that point the way to sanity and sanctity. (Music: "You're Not Alone" by Marie Miller. Used with permission.)

Hi guys! My husband and I love your podcast. In a number of episodes, Kenna has mentioned feeling called to work outside of the home, but I don’t see a podcast on that topic yet. Is it in the lineup? As a mom who feels called to continuing working as a nurse part time, I would love to hear how Kenna balances the emotional demands of her work along with being a mom, as well as thoughts on the strong narrative from many Catholic/Christian circles that moms should stay home to raise kids
