Cycles and Sanctity Podcast | Understand your Cycle and NFP, Grow in Holiness

15 | Billings and NFP Outreach with Sue Ek

Welcome to episode 15 of the Cycles & Sanctity Podcast, where I have the pleasure of interviewing Sue Ek, Director of Communications at NFP Outreach. We met through BOMA-USA when I was interested in becoming a Billings Instructor. Listen in, as Sue describes her impressions of Dr. John and Evelyn Billings and some of the history of how their work came to be. Sue shares her path into being involved with NFP and a bit of her experience of teaching the Billings method. 
 
We get a brief overview of how Billings and the team got invited to China and the impact there. We also hear the benefits Sue's seen in couples practicing NFP. Sue talks about the relationship between the Billings method and the encyclical Humanae Vitae, and much more in this episode. She ends with encouragement for those interested in becoming a Billings instructor - more teachers are needed.

6 | Time of Wonderment

Episode 6 of the Cycles and Sanctity podcast discusses the last phase of our cycle, the luteal phase, or as Mama Jane calls it - the wonderment phase. There can be many thoughts associated with this phase, especially when trying to conceive, as you will hear when Mama Jane shares a trying time in her life. 
 
The spiritual tool we will focus on during the luteal phase is Adoration. We go into what it is and the many different ways you can experience and spend time in adoration. Jesus desires each of us to have a personal relationship with him, and adoration will help this relationship deepen.
