“Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” - Matthew 7:13-14 Arise, Beloved invites you to join us in season three as we journey closer to Jesus on The Narrow Way. As Kateri and I prayed about which direction the Lord wanted to take Arise, Beloved in 2021, we knew that we were to continue to provide a place where women can find the restorative and healing love of Jesus. However, we also have realized this past year just how real and powerful the spiritual war raging around us is. Through more prayer and conversation we felt called to center Arise, Beloved on the Narrow Way. Our world desperately needs holy women who are leading each other deeper to Christ on the Narrow Way. For this third season of our podcast, Kateri and I will be breaking down just what it means to choose the Narrow Way. In this first episode, we explain why we have chosen this as our focus and invite you to chose the Narrow Way with us. Near the end we share the foundational resources we have been using for our formation on the Narrow Way and we want to share them with you: Kateri’s List: Scripture The Spiritual Combat and a Treatise on Peace of Soul by Dom Lorenzo Scupoli Diary of St Faustina   Mary Kate’s List: Scripture The Fulfillment of All Desire by Dr. Ralph Martin Spiritual Warfare and the Discernment of Spirits by Dan Burke Screwtape Letters by C.S.
