Welcome to The God Is Good Podcast, where we share real stories of God’s transforming love. In today’s episode, our newest storyteller, Rose, shares her journey from spiritual confusion to deep Catholic faith. Her story reveals how God gently guides us back to Him. From her early childhood faith to a life-changing encounter with St. Thérèse of Lisieux, Rose discovered the beauty of surrender, virtue, and a prayer life rooted in love. Her story reminds us that God never stops pursuing our hearts—and that His grace can turn even our cracks into beautiful mirrors that reflect His light. Guest: Rose Folsom, founder of VirtueConnection.com and spiritual guide at RoseFolsom.com Summary: In this episode, Rose shares her powerful journey from childhood faith to spiritual searching—and the moment she finally understood who Jesus truly is.

Today, she helps others develop joyful, customized prayer lives that anchor them in peace and purpose.

About Podcast
In this podcast, we bring you the real stories of everyday people who have faced significant challenges and emerged transformed. Our mission is to shine a light on how God works in our everyday lives to help us overcome adversity.
In today’s digital age, we're barraged by stories of others living their seemingly best lives. Social media, in particular, can be an onslaught of happy stories and extraordinary adventures. When we’re struggling though, the constant displays of what appear to be the perfect lives of others can have a disastrous affect on us. We ask, why is everyone else’s life so perfect while I’m suffering?
Here, we hope you'll find something different and inspiring. In each episode you will hear from courageous people who share their real-life struggles and tribulations. They tell us how their lives dramatically changed after an encounter with God. And they explain what their lives are like now. Are their lives perfect? Well, you’ll have to listen to hear the answer.
We invite you to join us on this journey. We’re glad you’re here—get involved, tell us your thoughts, maybe even share your story of joyful transformation.
So grab a cup of coffee. Sit back, relax, and be inspired by the journeys of ordinary people who love God. And discover why God is good...all the time!
