Are you hungry for God? One of our foundational struggles is that we’re just not hungry for Him. Part of the path, if not the path, is that we will have to experience this hunger. A “stepping away” from the noise, distractions, and self-reliance, entering into a place of vulnerability and dependence on God and being able to live and pray from that place. Today, we will discuss the change of passions and desires and dive into how we can develop a taste for silence and ultimately grow in hunger and thirst for God.

The Father’s Embrace (Lent 2026)
What do you expect to find when you finally turn back toward God?
Continuing their Lenten journey through the Prodigal Son, the friars arrive at the turning point of the story, the moment the son returns home. Expecting rejection, punishment, or distance, he instead finds something completely unexpected: the Father running toward him with compassion.
In this episode, the friars reflect on the heart of the Gospel. The Father doesn’t wait for perfection, explanations, or repayment. He runs, he embraces, and he restores dignity before a single word of apology is finished.
Join us as we rediscover the mercy of a Father who never stops watching the road and who runs to meet us the moment we begin to come home.

The Battle (Rewind)
How are you able to receive and communicate with God? Silence is the divine language. God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit love and communicate in eternal silence; if we want to look at and learn about God, we must let ourselves be moved by that.

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.
