Belovedness, Identity, and Saying Yes to God

In this powerful episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, host Alanis Gonzalez sits down with Catholic worship leader, songwriter, and author Sarah Kroger for an honest conversation about identity, fear, calling, humility, and worship.

Sarah shares her journey from childhood bullying and insecurity to leading worship around the world — and how discovering her belovedness in Christ transformed her faith, ministry, and personal life. Drawing from Catholic spirituality, Scripture, and her own testimony, she unpacks what it means to say “yes” to God even when fear, comparison, and self-doubt are loud.

In this episode, we explore:

Catholic worship beyond the Mass
Identity and healing through Jesus Christ
Discernment of vocation and calling
Fear, humility, and surrender in ministry
What it’s really like being a Catholic worship leader
The inspiration behind Belovedness (song, devotional & children’s book)

This episode is for anyone seeking hope, clarity, and renewal in their Catholic faith.

🙏 “You are my beloved.” — Mark 1:11
