Summary

This week my guest is Kathryn Jean Lopez, a senior fellow at the National Review Institute and author of many books, including her most recent, [A Year With the Mystics: Visionary Wisdom for Daily Living](https://www.amazon.com/Year-Mystics-Visionary-Wisdom-Living/dp/1505109043/ref=sr11?keywords=a+year+with+the+mystics&qid=1569515744&sr=8-1). Kathryn shares how she came to write this inspirational, page-a-day spiritual resource, and the ways in which her own faith life was enriched by her work on the book. She also discusses the idea of mysticism itself, what that means, and the ways in which we are all called to nurture our relationship with God every day.

0:09.5	Hello and welcome to girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom, and I'm on a mission
0:15.4	to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy and family living.
0:22.3	This week, I am talking with author Catherine Jean Lopez about her newest book, A Year with the Mystics. You're

0:41.3	Hey, girlfriends, thanks for being here. Thank you for showing up for another episode of the Girlfriends podcast. Always glad to be able to connect with you here on the podcast. If you're a new

1:33.2	and it's like thousands of dollars to buy the equipment. And then you pay a monthly membership feed,
