Curating quality resources for your Catholic ministry and faith life.

Author: Jessica

Jessica lives in the Washington, D.C. metro area with her husband and their two amazing girls, ages 5 and 7.

Jessica writes at leavenintheworld.com, womenintheology.org and bustedhalo.com.

About the Blog

With the advent of the Internet, the amount of God/faith-related information out there can be downright overwhelming. The purpose of this blog is to help bring order to the tohuwabohu (i.e., chaos), so you can filter out all the noise and get to the good stuff (“good stuff” = resources that will help you grow in your faith in a healthy and life-giving way). I’m not here to re-invent the wheel, just here to point you in the right direction.
