Standing on Holy Ground Online

The Women of the Abiding Together Podcast

August 6, 2025 | 48 min.

Michelle Benzinger, Heather Khym, and Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT—the beloved voices behind the Abiding Together podcast—join Katie to reflect on the story behind their show, their commitment to authentic and vulnerable conversations, and the impact of inviting others into their spiritual journey. They share why they believe online spaces can become “holy ground” when we speak with honesty, balance, and love—and why, if a message isn’t real and rooted in truth, it’s not worth sharing.

Heather Khym is cohost of the Abiding Together podcast and assistant director of evangelization at Franciscan University. She and her husband, Jake, co-founded Life Restoration Ministries, where she serves as director of vision and ministry for the British Columbia–based apostolate. Khym is the author of Abide and Encountering Emmanuel.

Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT, is a popular Catholic speaker, a cohost of the podcast Abiding Together, and the author of the bestselling books Loved as I Am, Restore: A Guided Lent Journal for Prayer and Meditation, and Behold: A Guided Advent Journal for Prayer and Meditation.
