Our Story

In June 2025, I had knee surgery. I'd been struggling with pain before that, but still living my life. Surgery was supposed to be the turning point.

Instead, during recovery, one unrelated health complication followed another. Some seasons were more manageable than others, but the tiredness never fully lifted — the kind of tired that isn't just physical.

By February 2026, after a second knee surgery and health challenges that just kept lingering, I was worn down in a way I hadn't been before. And that's when I heard God say something I've never forgotten: I know. I see you. I hear you. Be grateful.

Be grateful? In the middle of that?

But I obeyed. And when I did, He showed me something I hadn't let myself see before — my own story. His presence with me since I was a little girl. His unconditional love. His healing. His faithfulness, in ways I could trace all the way back, once I finally looked.

That's when an old dream resurfaced — one I'd carried for a long time and never acted on. I felt called to write a Holy Moments Challenge. Not for me. For you.

A tool to help you see God's faithfulness in your own story. To see the people He's placed in your life — the ones who encouraged you, inspired you, pushed you to go deeper. Like Peter and the apostles, casting their nets one more time at His word, and finding them blessed beyond anything they expected.

"When you go out to fish, throw your nets on the other side of the boat..." And when they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.
  —  Luke 5:4-6

I believe God entrusted something sacred into my hands. So I prayed. I gathered a small group of women to journey with me — to pray, to discern, to figure out how we might best serve.

What came out of that is the Holy Moments Challenge. It's for everyone — men, women, young adults, families. Anyone willing to spend 30 days looking for God's presence in their own story, the way I finally looked for His in mine.

But the Challenge is just the first step. There is more. Much more.

We don't fully know what all of it looks like yet — that's part of the adventure of following where God leads. But we know this: it starts with you saying yes to the Challenge. However that looks for you — on your own, with family or friends, with your church community.

However God is leading you, we can't wait to see what He intends.

Our Mission

Holy Moments Happening Here builds on what Matthew Kelly and Dynamic Catholic started. In his book, Matthew challenges each of us to start with one holy moment a day. Then why not two? Why not more — and more — until you're experiencing holy moments, God's presence, in your life every day, all day long. And when that happens, you won't be able to keep it to yourself. You'll be anxious to share the experience with three people, who will share it with three more, and three more after that — trusting God's multiplication to turn one holy moment into millions of changed lives.

Our piece of that is the invitation itself. As a tool — a starting point — we offer you the Holy Moments Challenge and the Pillars of Notice, Inspire, Encourage, and Act... in Gratitude, as a way of going deeper in your relationship with Jesus and discovering what God is calling you to: what your Holy Moments look like, and who you're meant to share them with.

Wherever You Are, Start There

It takes just 5 minutes a day. Thirty days to see — really see — God's faithfulness in your life: His unconditional love, His healing, His presence yesterday, today, and always. Some people move through it in 30 days. Some take longer. Some come back and do it again, and find it richer the second time.

God is calling you to go deeper with Him. We pray that the Holy Moments Challenge helps you do just that. Be encouraged. Give yourself this gift. Say yes. Take the Challenge. Expect God to bless you!

We're praying for you.

Our Vision

A world made new — one holy moment at a time. We believe God is already multiplying every small, intentional act of kindness into something far bigger than we can see. Our vision is a movement of ordinary people who stand together — choosing holiness, creating Holy Moments, and teaching and encouraging others to do the same — until millions of lives, one holy moment at a time, become the change the world is waiting for.
