HELLO, FRIEND!

Life doesn't always go as planned, but one thing never changes:

YOU ARE DEEPLY LOVED BY GOD.

My prayer is that everything here honors that truth. Whether it is through a book, a resource, a personal mentoring partnership, or a shared message at your next event, my heart is to help you deepen your experience of His love so you can live with intention.

If you are ready to journey together, I invite you to book a mentoring session or connect with me about speaking to your community.

Wherever you find yourself today, there’s a place for you here.

Trusting God When the Road Looks Nothing Like You Planned

Sometimes the story we planned isn't the story we're living.

Life rarely unfolds the way we expect. Dreams change. Doors close. Relationships end. Plans unravel. In those moments, it's easy to wonder where God is, or whether He's still writing a good story.

Right Where You Are is an invitation to discover that God's love and faithfulness haven't left you. In fact, they may be closer than you've ever imagined.

Through honest storytelling, biblical truth, and practical encouragement, Lisa Catalano shares how God meets us in the middle of grief, disappointment, waiting, unexpected detours, and new beginnings. Rather than offering easy answers, this book gently reminds readers that God deeply loves them, and that He is still at work, even when life looks nothing like they planned.

Whether you're walking through loss, navigating a life transition, rebuilding after disappointment, or simply longing to trust God more deeply, this book will encourage you to take your next step with hope.

Inside You'll Discover

✓ Honest stories from Lisa's own journey

✓ Biblical encouragement for life's unexpected seasons

✓ Practical ways to trust God one step at a time

✓ Hope for seasons of grief, waiting, transition, and uncertainty

✓ A reminder that you are deeply loved by God, right where you are

This Book Is For You If...

• Life hasn't gone according to plan.

• You're searching for hope in the middle of uncertainty.

A Message from Lisa

My prayer isn't simply that you finish this book. It's that somewhere along the way, you discover just how deeply you are loved by God because everything changes when we begin living from that place.

I hope these pages remind you that no matter what chapter you're in, God is present, He is faithful, and your story is still being written.

Planning an Event or Podcast?

Whether you’re hosting a conference, planning a retreat, gathering your church, or sitting down for an honest podcast conversation, I’d love to be part of what God is doing. Through speaking and worship, my heart is to create space for people to encounter God’s love in a real and meaningful way.

ABOUT LISA

Over the last three decades, I’ve worn a lot of different hats: author, speaker, worship leader, mentor, ministry leader, and my favorite of all, mom.

I’ve spent much of my life serving in churches and ministry, but what has shaped me most isn’t a title or a platform. It’s discovering, again and again, how deeply God loves us.

I’ve also walked through loss, disappointment, health challenges, and roads I never would have chosen. Through it all, I’ve learned that the Christian life doesn’t begin with trying harder to love God. It begins with discovering how deeply He already loves us.

Everything you’ll find here flows from that.

The location has changed. The mission hasn't.

What began as a home filled with worship, shared meals, discipleship, and transitional housing for young adults continues today through mentoring, community, and relationships that remind people they are deeply loved by God.

Sometimes the people who need someone to walk with them most simply don’t have the financial resources to make it possible.

Your generosity helps provide mentoring scholarships so finances don’t have to stand in the way of meaningful support and connection.

ONE LAST THING...

Whether we've met before or this is our very first conversation, I hope you leave here knowing one simple truth:

You are deeply loved by God.

Thanks for spending a little time here. I’m really glad you came.
