Gratitude vs Greed
People who live in a place of gratitude usually focus on what they have. On the other hand, those who struggle with greed and live in that place typically focus on what they don’t have. Both can have or do not have the same thing, but one person can experience fullness and gratitude. In comparison, one person has an experience of emptiness, disappointment…
Desire and Act to Heal
In the gospel for the Sunday, Jesus shares with us, “If a brother sins against you, go to that brother and share his fault with him alone.” This message is so powerful for us, and we can take this teaching and completely ignore it. What do we do when someone sins against us when someone hurts us? We tell every single person in the universe except for…
Make a Home
What is the place of home? It’s where we are safe, loved, known, seen, well-received, and can be ourselves. Brokeness may significantly affect our home experience, but ideally, home is a place of joy, laughter, and communion. In this episode, we’ll talk about hospitality, what home is, what it can be, and how we can make it a place where we can joyfully…
Reject Isolation
At the end of Marvel’s “Infinity War,” Thanos sits alone on a planet alone. And you may think that it’s paradise, but it’s hell. In this Sunday’s gospel, Jesus says clearly, “What does it profit one if he gains the whole world “but loses his life? “Loses his soul?” Thanos gets everything he wants. He receives the Gauntlet. He gets the Infinity Stones. He wins the war…
Passing on the Faith to our Children
The Book of Psalms 78:4. “We will not hide them from their children or tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord and His mind and the wonders which He has to wrought.” This passage is actually about handing down the baton. You know, the children are our future. We have to pass on the knowledge, but we have to teach them the right…

What is that SEEK episode? What happened there? You might have heard that we referenced a SEEK episode a few times in previous episodes. Today’s episode is pretty unique—a throwback episode that we wanted to share with you to give you an idea about our SEEK episode, but at the same time, we’re going to talk about following Jesus. We will discuss…
Keys to the Kingdom
We live in a culture of life hacks. We can make anything more effortless and more efficient. There are life hacks for finding flights online, cooking eggs, and dating relationships. And when it comes to your dating relationship, please do not use any hacks. We can make things so easy and comfortable. Do we need the Lord? There will be a moment in our lives…
Bible study mode activate. The first reading for this Sunday from Isaiah is fire. God is speaking to the people of Israel, saying, “I will place the keys of the House of David on the shoulder of Eliakim. When he shuts it, no one will open it. And when he opens, no one shall shut. When the king is away, Eliakim, you are in charge.” We see this again in the Gospel. Jesus says…
Have Compassion For Others
Gospel of St. Luke, chapter 16, verse 25. But Abraham said, “Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things and Lazarus in like manner evil things. But now he’s comforted here and you are in anguish.” Lazarus was not even allowed to eat the crumbs from the rich man’s table. The rich man and his people didn’t care. But this story calls us…
