  <itunes:subtitle>In this episode, my wife, Pamela Rivera, joins me for a heartfelt conversation about how motherhood changes when our prayer life and interior life begin to deepen. Pam encourages listeners to embrace humility, rediscover the beauty of silence, and make space for the Lord to speak in the quiet moments of Adoration. Sometimes what our souls need most is less noise and more time in God’s presence.

In this conversation, we explore:

Why pride stands in opposition to the feminine genius

How trust in God’s providence grows when we take courageous leaps of faith

Whether marriage is more like a football team or a track team—and why the difference matters

Plus, I sit down with my own mother to ask one simple question: “What was I like as a kid?”</itunes:subtitle>
