Scripture for Your Inner Outcasts

Souls and Hearts

In the Gospels, Jesus reaches out to the outcasts, the most marginalized and rejected members of His society. In this very brief podcast, we take His approach inside – to reach out to your inner outcasts, the parts of you who are walking in darkness and gloom. Listen in and invite the Good News in the daily Mass readings to shine on your inner lost sheep, your inner prodigals, your inner lepers, your lame, deaf, and blind parts, your inner tax collectors, and your inner prostitutes – all those parts of you deemed unworthy and unacceptable by your protector parts.

Why? So that you can integrate inside, heal, and grow to flourish in accepting being loved, loving yourself in an ordered way, and then being able to love God wholeheartedly, with all your parts, and your neighbor as yourself. All informed by Internal Family Systems and other parts work approaches, and all firmly grounded in a Catholic understanding of the human person. Join us in seeing Scripture through a new lens, coming alive for those parts of you that may have experienced spiritual neglect and need healing.

This podcast is produced by Souls & Hearts, an organization dedicated to human formation from a Catholic lens. Learn more at soulsandhearts.com.

    388 You Are Not Blocked From Receiving Eternal Security

    A parts-informed reflection on Luke 9:57-58, ""I will follow you wherever you go." Jesus answered him, "Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head."" Memorial of St. Jerome Presenter: Bridget Adams, member care coordinator for the Resilient Catholics Community, lead writer and trainer on the PartsFinder Pro team, and a retreat leader with Souls & Hearts Do you struggle to find secure attachment figures in your life? Consider that the Church Triumphant is also available to you for friendship, attachment, and security. As Dr. Peter Malinoski puts it, "a spiritual confidant is a real person, human, angelic, or divine who is certain to be in heaven. Spiritual confidants are helpers, mentors, companions, protectors, wisdom figures, nurturers -- but most of all, spiritual confidants are secure attachment figures, persons you trust and confide in, who either are God, or who lead and connect you to God." Read more on this concept HERE. Registration for the St. Nicholas cohort of the Resilient Catholics Community is open from October 1-31, 2026. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your human formation for the purpose of loving yourself, your neighbor, and your God! Learn more HERE. Questions or comments?
