Unfortunately, my video for today will need to be pushed until tomorrow. We are on our last day of vacation and even though I pre-filmed and edited, I didn't realize that the actual uploading of the video would require faster wifi than the hotel offers. So this week, we will have our 5 Sacred Heart themed videos posted Tuesday-Saturday instead of M-F. :)
I hope you all had a wonderful Feast of Corpus Christi yesterday, and I'll see you tomorrow <3
Also, if you didn't know - my Story of Refuge went live yesterday on the Hallow app for their Heart of Jesus Challenge. :)
Friends!!! I’m so excited to announce that if you sign up on Hallow for the 12 day “Heart of Jesus” Challenge, you’ll hear my Story of Refuge on day 7! I’m so honored to have been asked to participate in this challenge and as we head into June, the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I can’t think of a better time to reflect on the love, mercy and refuge He offers each one of us. ❤️
If you don’t have the app - you can sign up here for a free 3 month trial! hallow.app.link/anamunley
I pray my story encourages anyone who feels far from God, burdened by their past, or simply in need of hope. Jesus’ Heart is still open, still inviting and still transforming lives. I hope you’ll join us. 🙏🏼✨
hi friends! i pray you're all well. i really wanna start turning my youtube channel into more organized recurring series instead of just random uploads every week lol
what kinds of episodes would you wanna see most under these categories? anything you think i’m missing?
current ideas:
• so you wanna be devout? (monday episodes) practical catholic life stuff. prayer, confession, discipline, spiritual dryness, temptation, becoming less lukewarm, building habits, spiritual warfare, how to actually grow in holiness in normal everyday life.
• saints (tuesday episodes) deep dives into saints, martyrs, mystics, miracles, crazy stories from church history, lesser known saints, patron saints, incorrupt saints, conversion stories etc.
• answering questions/comments (wednesday episodes) answering catholic questions, protestant objections, misconceptions, comments, DMs, emails, difficult topics, confusing church teachings and things people genuinely wanna understand better.
• church history (thursday episodes) early christianity, church councils, the reformation, how the bible was compiled, historical events, popes, traditions, heresies, how certain teachings developed, and basically all the stuff most people were never taught.
• aftermass (friday episodes) more personal conversations about faith and real life after you leave church. marriage, suffering, infertility, anxiety, social media, loneliness, modern culture, relationships, discipline, purpose, identity, spiritual struggles etc.
super late upload yesterday! but i think if there’s one video that will help you in your day to day - it’s this one!
ps: please keep my son in your prayers, we were at the ER yesterday for him, but thank God he only has a concussion, so just monitoring him over the next few days. 💜🙏🏻
I'm so honored and excited to attend this. Not sure if any of you are going, but if so, please let me know! and if you want more info, you can click here! cvent.me/Qy4dzR?utm_source=affiliate&utm_campaign=…
hi friends!! i need to say a few things. i understand that you guys don't know me, so let me share a bit about me.
i'm 37, i live in florida with my husband and 2 kids. i hate being in front of the camera, never take selfies, don't like public speaking, i'm an introvert, and the only way i can even make the content i do is 1. by the grace of God lol and 2. because it's just me in my room. it's very unnatural for me to make content and look into the camera/or myself, which is why in the beginning, i used to look off to the side.. lol, which was weird, and why i now look at you guys. i get very nervous while filming videos, which is why i blink too much, or not enough, or don't smile much, or too much.. i never do anything intentionally to distract or appear weird, it's just how it comes out.
if you met me in person, like many did at SEEK in january, you'd be surprised at how personable i am lol, i think the number one comment i got from people was "i didn't realize you'd be so funny!" i was like wow i need to learn how to incorporate a joke or two in my videos so people know i'm not a sad robot.
i started posting about my faith because it was an overflow of my own spiritual life, and if you've watched my content for awhile, you know that i've gone through the natural highs and lows of being a christian which include desolation and spiritual dryness. i don't post to get money, i didn't start this with the hopes of making this my full time "carreer" - i just felt a passion for sharing about our catholicism since i myself went to catholic school for over 12 years and left not knowing much about my faith. when i reverted back over 5 years ago, i discovered so many things about our faith that are never talked about, never taught in schools, never discussed at church.. and i wanted to share what i knew, how i felt and what i was learning with anyone else like me. i still work a 9-5 normal job, i do this as a passion, and of course i would love the oppurtunity to do this full time and crank out videos much more frequently.. but for now, this is all i can do with the time i have. my first ministry/vocation is my family and my online content can only be done if i tend to them first.
with all of that said, i'm not ai lol. i know i am pretty somber in my videos, or blink too much.. or not enough.. but i don't know what else to say. i invested heavily in professional grade camera and lighting, which makes the video crisp and makes me look shiny LOL but i dont mess with video editing, aside from trimming down long pauses or mistakes. i do hope to upgrade my microphone soon.. i can't seem to figure out how to fidget with the one i have to make my audio better, but it's a work in progress.
anyways, i've you've read this far - thank you for being here, for the comments and support and messages you all leave. means the world to me!
and below is the last selfie i took so you can see yes, it is me, sometimes i have grey hair (thanks genetics) sometimes i have wrinkles, sometimes i look fantastic, sometimes my eyebrows look weird and sometimes you can see my acne scars, i can't help it lol.. it just all depends lol.
a lot of people have asked how they can support me, and just being here is already more than enough. watching the videos, liking, commenting, sharing, praying for me and my family. that truly means everything to me! but..
i did want to let you know that i’ve started a patreon as a way to build a smaller, more intentional community for those who want something a little deeper and more behind the scenes. there is a free option to join and you’ll have access to some content there. if you choose to become a paid member, that’s totally optional and just opens the door to additional things.
some of what will be offered there includes: - weekly bible studies with Fr. Timothy Skoch and Austin Habash from Think Catholic - live rosaries - exclusive videos for topics you request - articles and reflections - behind the scenes q&a with podcast guests i’ll be having on throughout the year - early access to youtube podcast episodes - private q&a sessions where we can ask real questions and grow together in the faith
one thing that mattered a lot to me when creating this was true formation. catholic formation isn’t meant to be done in isolation, and it does involve our clergy. that’s why it was important to me that the bible study includes an actual priest, alongside someone like austin, who is an incredible teacher and such a gift to this space. if you’re not familiar with them yet, i think you’ll really love getting to know them.
i also want to be clear that all of my regular videos will still be here on youtube. nothing is being taken away or moved behind a paywall. if you’re here for that content, you’re already exactly where you need to be. the patreon is simply for those who want the additional conversations, deeper dives and a more private community setting.
some content there will always be free, and the paid option is just that, an option. no pressure at all. i just wanted to create a space where we can slow down, ask questions, learn, pray and grow together in a more personal way.
