A series on King David: Part 3 of 4
David sinned when he wasn’t doing what he was supposed to be doing; when he had pulled back from God’s calling. We have to be careful of comfort and of being distracted, because it leads to a place of being unfaithful. Instead, we have to keep moving forward in God’s will, which can regularly take us to less comfortable places. We’re called to lay down our lives — to endure the crosses of life and get to heaven. It’s not easy…but God’s faithfulness far outweighs our unfaithfulness.
Remember: there are certain things the Lord does that he doesn’t take back, like free will. The same is true with anointing. Keep choosing to do what you’re supposed to be doing, and be faithful to the Father who is always faithful to you.

Older Son (Literal Sense)
Have you ever felt frustrated, overlooked, or distant, even though you find yourself doing the “right” things?
In this episode, the friars dive into the older son in the Prodigal Son story, not symbolically at first, but simply as he is. His words, his reactions, his position in the family. And what starts to emerge is something deeply human: a struggle with comparison, entitlement, and not fully receiving the Father’s love.
They unpack how easy it is to stay close in proximity but far in relationship and how the older son’s experience can quietly mirror our own spiritual lives.
Join us as we take an honest look at the older son and allow the Father to meet us right where we are.

As Christians, we believe in God, hope for everything from Him, and want to love Him with all our hearts and love our neighbors. This episode is the third part of…
