Faith, Divine Service, and Miracles with Marcie Macari

When Marcie Macari walked into an ordinary church, with palms sweaty and a heart full of hope, little did she know that she was stepping into what would become a defining moment of her life. Listen to this remarkable narrative of how she and her then-husband trusted the universe, embarking on a mission trip to South Africa with only their faith as currency, performing heartfelt dramas and counting on the generosity of strangers for survival. Marcie's story is about the exact amount of money to the cent that appeared as if by magic, it's about the reaffirmation of faith, the kindness that thrives in human hearts, and the affirming nod from the universe when you're on the path you're meant to walk.

The experience of Marcie's five years in ministry is a delightful blend of serendipity, spiritual connections, and minimalism that would rival Thoreau's time at Walden Pond. Let's dive together along these unexpected twists and turns, from the ice cream shop that held more than just sweet treats to the countless congregations whose open arms provided much more than shelter. It's a poignant reminder of how life is rich with connections that transcend our physical needs, binding us together in an unseen yet profoundly felt network of generosity and shared humanity. Join us for an episode that touches the heart and awakens the soul to the boundless possibilities when service and faith go hand in hand.

Marcie's introduction

Marcie Macari is a published author, Culinary Instructor to adults with developmental disabilities, and Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner.

Her resilience resume includes: surviving every kind of abuse, nearly every natural disaster, a health condition that left her bedridden overnight and stole more than 10 years of her life, and being abandoned by a Christian ministry in Africa when she came out as a Lesbian.

With the ministry refusing to fly her home or renew her work visa, Marcie started making, selling, or trading handmade greeting cards for food to feed her and her 14 month old daughter.

When she was 24 and woke up suddenly very ill, she went to every type of doctor and specialist she could find. No one seemed to be able to help, so she studied to be Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner, (ROHP) graduated the 3-year program in a year with First Class Honors and worked to heal herself using food and nutrition as medicine.

She has been helping people heal themselves ever since, and coaching people to harness their resilience to overcome the challenges they face to bounce, not break!

Marcie is the author of “She Births: A Modern Woman’s Guidebook for an Ancient Rite of Passage” and has been published in several magazines including: “VIVA”, “Compleat Mother”, and “Island Child”. Her stories and writings have appeared in: “Bearing Witness” by Dr. Lisa Doran and Lisa Caron, as well as in several blogs. She is an inspirational speaker with over 10,000 stage performances to her name and hundreds of workshops, presentations, and speeches under her pre-digital era belt.

Marcie speaks on topics of importance to women, entrepreneurs, the LGBTQ community, welcoming religious groups and marginalized youth-all with a focus on RESILIENCE.

When she isn’t speaking, working on her next book, or teaching, you can probably find her cuddled up with her Cornish Rex Cosmo and a cup of herbal tea.
