The six-week series begins September 21. *Ave Explores* is a multimedia series created to help people examine the Catholic faith by taking an in-depth look at topics that are relevant to their daily spiritual life in a fresh, engaging, and practical way. Hosted by Katie Prejean McGrady, *Ave Explores* aims to nourish the faith of everyday Catholics in ways that make a difference to everyday life. What’s holding you back from being the person God created you to be? There are a number of accounts in the gospels about encounters Jesus had with people seeking his healing love, including the woman at the well, Bartimaeus the blind man, the woman caught in adultery, and the rich young man. Jesus wants you to ask for his healing grace as well. [*Ave Explores: Healing*](https://www.avemariapress.com/aveexplores-healing) will help you learn what healing is, why you need it, why you resist it, and how a personal encounter with Christ is the true path to healing from shame, guilt, and sin. Join host Prejean McGrady and special guests as they share personal stories of healing and help you understand how the Lord can heal your familial wounds, addictions, grief, and trauma. Catch a preview podcast with Fr. Rob Galea, singer-songwriter and author of *Breakthrough*, beginning on September 14, 2022.
