    <title>Chasing Squirrels:  Testimonies of Active Faith</title>
    <description>My name is Trish McCarthy, and my motto in life is:  &quot;Do the last thing God told you to do…and spend time with Him (and then do the next thing He tells you to do…and spend time with Him).&quot;  This is a place where you’ll hear stories from people who have done just that.  Stories from ordinary people who have stepped out in faith, and have some extraordinary testimonies to share.  My hope is that you will be inspired each time you listen…inspired to take your own step (or leap) of faith. To do that thing, no matter how big or how small, you believe God is calling you to do.  

Your faith may feel as small as a mustard seed right now…or maybe big enough to move mountains (or perhaps it feels like you’ve lost your faith or like you never even found it in the first place).  No matter where you are in your faith journey, I am confident that God will meet you right where you are.  So, listen with an open heart…because I truly believe He’s got something to say to you!</description>

      <title>S4 E5:  Month of Love (Wk. 3):  &quot;Love Those Who Rub You the Wrong Way&quot;</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>One of the greatest commandments the Lord gives us is to love our neighbors as ourselves. But how do we do that when we're faced with people who truly test our patience, who get under our skin, or push all the wrong buttons? In this episode, I share a personal story of how God used one of those 'sandpaper' people in my life to smooth out my own rough edges. Through this experience, He taught me more about His incredible grace, mercy, and love.</p>

      <title>S4 E4: Month of Love (Wk. 2):  Love Those Who Hurt You</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, I share a deeply personal and emotional testimony about the transformative power of forgiveness. I recognize that for some, the pain runs so deep that forgiveness may feel impossible. However, I truly believe that with God, all things are possible. (Apologies in advance for the sniffles!)</p>

      <title>S4 E3:  Month of Love (Wk. 1):  &quot;Love the Ones You&apos;re With&quot;</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>It's February...Valentine's Day (my favorite) is just around the corner...Yay!  The holiday centered all around love.  I just LOVE love!  God has a LOT to say about love, especially about loving others.  In this episode I share some practical ways you can love those you spend the most time with:  your family members (specifically, your spouse and children).  Even if you're not married (or you don't have children), I think you'll find this episode to be helpful, enlightening, and maybe even a little funny.  Enjoy!</p>

      <title>S4 E1:  New Year, New You?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Happy New Year!  What are your hopes and dreams for 2025?  If you're like most people, you're grateful to wipe the slate clean and get a fresh start.  You are probably eager to make some much-needed changes in your life, and you may have even set some goals for the new year already.  Or...you might have decided to throw in the towel on "Quitters Day" like the vast majority of the population has.  No matter where you are in the goal-setting/achieving process, I hope you'll join me as I shed light on my own personal journey into 2025.  My prayer is that some of practical things that have worked for me will work for you as well.  Above all, I pray we will all lean into the Lord and delight in His Word as we commit this upcoming year to Him, the Author and Perfecter of our Faith.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[As Tera shared in the previous testimony, chronic pain is like a backwards roller coaster.  This episode is a plea to pray for a dear friend who is also on a backwards roller coaster, having received a brain tumor diagnosis a few days ago, after having recently battled (and conquered) breast cancer.  If you're listening today, please pray as you feel led.  Prayer is SO powerful!
