Episode 268 - The Beatitudes

Is following Jesus just another self-help plan?

The Beatitudes flip that idea upside down. This isn't about fixing yourself, it's about letting God meet you in your need.

In this episode, the friars unpack how the Beatitudes aren't a checklist for spiritual success, but an invitation to deep dependence on God. They explore how true blessings often look like weakness, surrender, and a poverty of spirit because that's where grace breaks in.

Episode 267 - Intentional and Wanted by God

Were you just a surprise, or were you really wanted by God?

In this episode, the friars speak into the quiet questions many carry, especially those born outside traditional circumstances.

They unpack the pain, confusion, and identity struggles that can come with that and speak truth into it all that no matter how you came into the world, whether your story includes surprise, brokenness, or uncertainty, one truth stands firm: Your life is not an accident. You are intentionally created, deeply known, and unconditionally loved by God. Let's talk about what that really means.

Episode 266 - Joy and the Valley of Tears - Series on Jesus and the Jubilee (Part 14)

Ever feel too tired, too broken, or too behind to be joyful?

You’re not alone. But the gift of Paschal Joy isn’t about having it all together—it’s about Jesus coming to you right where you are. This joy isn’t manufactured; it’s a gift rooted in the Resurrection. Even in our weakness, Jesus says: “It’s not about you—it’s about Me.”

In this episode, the friars talk about joy in the midst of suffering and how the Jubilee year reminds us that joy is something to receive, not achieve.

Episode 265 - The Fullness of God - Series on Jesus and the Jubilee (Part 13)

Can we let God be the one who provides, who carries us, who fills us with His presence and love?

This week, the friars reflect on the heart of the Jubilee rest. True rest isn’t just doing less or stopping work—it’s a radical shift in mindset and posture from striving to receiving. The invitation is clear—come home to the Father and let Him be enough.

This podcast episode invites you into the deep rest your heart’s been craving—not just a pause from work, but a return to the Father’s arms.

Episode 264 - Jubilee and the Good Samaritan

Why do we leave what’s good and go searching for answers in places that break us?

This week, the friars unpack the story of the Good Samaritan through the lens of the Jubilee year. What draws us away from the peace and identity we have in God—toward places that leave us wounded and empty? Whether it’s the orphan mindset, performance pressure, or endless distractions, we all carry brokenness. But Jesus meets us there, not with judgment, but healing. He carries us home, restoring what’s been lost.

This episode talks about the Good Samaritan and how it relates to the heart of the Jubilee.

Episode 263 - Freed by the Cross

How can the wounds of Jesus at the cross set us free?

Could the cross be more than a symbol—could it be an exorcism, a place of real freedom and healing? His open heart invites us to lay down our disordered loves and be delivered from the false attachments that enslave us.

Could the cross be where we find freedom, not just from sin, but from the Egypt still within us? This is the freedom Jesus offers: deep, lasting, and born from love.

Join us as we explore how the heart of Christ transforms and frees us at the deepest level.

Episode 262 - Jubilee and Prophets - Series on Jesus and the Jubilee (Part 11)

What does our identity as prophets really mean?

We are baptized in Jesus and called to be prophets as well, meaning that we are called to reveal the Father in everything we do. In our words, our actions, our personalities, our vocations, our mission, in everything we are and everything God has given us, we are called to reveal God.

In this podcast episode, we're talking about living the Jubilee and restoring our identities as prophets.
