“I haven’t believed enough that he is enough.” That’s what Br. Angelo says as a guest on this episode, and how true is it for each of us? Even when we experience God’s goodness, repeatedly and in big and small ways, it can be a struggle to keep believing that God is enough. He is LORD. He is enough, and we only have to give him permission to work. It sounds simple, but it can be tough when we’ve faced rejection in other areas of our lives. How do we believe? How do we find the courage and take the risk — to learn he always shows up? Surrender to the Lordship of Jesus. It can be a struggle, but while we might have many struggles, this is the right one.

Peace Not Panic
We have this tendency that we want to fix or clean-up certain things first before we let the Lord in. We are afraid that our place, our lives are messy—that it can be too much for anyone even for God to handle. But God is NOT panicking, he’s completely in control. He’s not afraid or scandalized of how messy our lives are…

Restoring Our Mission
What’s the mission that Jesus is calling you to do? We all have a mission that we are picked to do, and that mission should be something that we share with Jesus. We are invited to love like Jesus and, ultimately, love like The Father – we are invited to live in greatness and give our lives to something that matters. In this episode, we look into what it means to be restored as sons and…

Feeling Good Vs. Being Good
What if the things we use to “feel better” are the very things keeping us from becoming good? In this episode, the friars continue exploring the Beatitude “Blessed are the pure of heart” looking at the quiet ways we avoid honesty with ourselves, through distraction, self-soothing, numbing, or chasing comfort. They unpack why it’s so hard to face what’s really going on inside us, and how purity of heart begins with the courage to stop running and let Jesus meet us in our reality.
