Creating Holy Moments: The Power of Paying It Forward

In this new episode, I share a story that reminded me of the enormous impact small acts of kindness can have on our lives—and the lives of others.

 

 

Inspired by the book Holy Moments, I open up about a simple trip to Whole Foods with my family that turned into something much greater: an opportunity to practice generosity and witness the ripple effects of kindness. What began as a small decision to help created a holy moment—one filled with gratitude, reflection, and deeper faith.

 

 

I’ll be honest—at first, I wrestled with doubt. Was I really helping the right person? Was it enough? But God showed me that the true power of generosity isn’t in analyzing outcomes—it’s in trusting that every act of love has meaning.

 

 

This episode is your reminder that every interaction, no matter how ordinary, carries the potential to become a holy moment. When we choose to give, to trust, and to love, we align with God’s heart and create ripples that go far beyond what we can see.
