High on the Holy Spirit

High on the Holy Spirit

By Kristen von Clef, OFS

Listening is as simple as telling your smartphone or smart speaker to: play High on the Holy Spirit Podcast. I talk about tough topics, important topics and just story telling about a life centered on our Most Precious Lord. I'm high on the Holy Spirit, addicted to Jesus, and letting Him light me up as a beacon to draw others to the beauty of His magnificent Sacred Heart. When people pass by me, my wish is for them to smell His fragrance and feel His peace. Then one day, I hope to enter into Heaven and hear my Father say, "This is My beloved daughter, with whom I am well pleased."

When God Takes Over Technology on Sundays (and other days)

I usually think God only controls things like the weather or relationships or jobs or health... when it came to technology stuff, I was pretty surprised at the stuff He has done with me.

"Yes" Does Not Mean "I do" (Getting Engaged)

"Yes" Does Not Mean "I do" (Getting Engaged)

Just a reminder that the engagement process is still a discernment process as to if you should marry your fiancé. Don't allow there to be too much external pressure to be locked in. I was engaged and I know it was not God's will for us to be married. Remember: It's a lot easier to end an engagement than a marriage.

Raising Awareness through My Child Abuse Story

Raising Awareness through My Child Abuse Story

As my book, Joyous Hell | A Life of Finding Joy in Suffering, is approaching completion, I felt called to share a bit of the story as it is Child Abuse Awareness month. I know God has given me this cross so as to help others who have been carrying their own form of it. After rewatching the recording, there are little comments I wished I had made. I think I will just create other videos. My vulnerability has opened many spaces for others to step into. As I share my story in person, countless people share their own and many follow it with, “I’ve never told anyone before.” Following these conversations, I have led many wounded souls to a place of healing through forgiveness.

Ep. 026 | Surrender Trust and Detachment -- God's Will and Timing is Best

This episode will take you on the journey of my discovery of coming to a place of surrender and trust with a side of detachment. I spoke on the topic at an event in October 2025 and decided I'd share it on the podcast. Living 12 different places in 5 years has forced me to detach... but it took time to get to surrendering and trusting God.I hope God touches you through the video!Please Share!Please Like!Please Subscribe or Follow!

Overcoming Sexual Addiction w/ Dann Aungst Founder of Road to Purity - Inner Healing

Overcoming Sexual Addiction w/ Dann Aungst Founder of Road to Purity - Inner Healing

This was a very powerful interview that I'm so happy I can share with my viewers. Part of my story is added within this long form discussion.Dann Aungst is the founder of Road to Purity, an organization helping those who struggle with sexual addiction. It digs deep into the lives of the addicts to attack the root of the issue--not just cut off the dead parts due to the sins. Road to Purity has resources and programs for people struggling with the addiction. There is material for churches to form small groups. Also, it was very important to Dann for priests to also have material for the confessional, because that is commonly where the issue is first shared. (see link below)We also talk about the spiritual warfare that is also found within this addiction, as in most addictions.I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. It was very beautiful and I found it profound, as well!Website:https://roadtopurity.com/"When Priests are Prepared to Help Their Flock, Parishioners Find Freedom"https://roadtopurity.com/clergy/Podcast:https://roadtopurity.com/podcast/Dann's Book:http://road-to-purity-store.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/copy-of-40-days-to-freedom-winning-the-battle-for-sexual-purity-280pgs-by-dann-aungstPlease Like!Please Share!Please Subscribe!

Ep. 022 | Flame of Love Devotion with Deacon Norm Alexander Coordinator for South Central USA

Have you heard of the Flame of Love? Yes or No? Please join me in this long form conversation with Deacon Norm Alexander who is the coordinator for the South Central region in the United States."The effect of devotion to the Flame of Love is to make our parishes, families, and lives so full of Jesus by the power of grace, that Satan’s influence on our families and surrounding communities is broken. Once freed from the blinding influence of Satan, our families and communities are much more open the gospel and the way of salvation. Thus we ask our Blessed Mother to: 'Spread the effect of grace of your Flame of Love over all of humanity.'" - https://flameoflove.us/the-effects-of-the-flame-of-love/https://flameoflove.us/
