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, he actually comes for the mess. He isn’t waiting for us to get it together, he wants to come and the way we get things together is by Him coming to our lives, we just have to let him in.
This episode is the third part of the series on Emmanuel: An Advent Devotional that talks about how we can ask the Lord to take our panic and give His us peace. An invitation for us to let God in to our lives regardless of the mess. If you want to follow along with our current advent series, you can get your copy of Emmanuel: An Advent Devotional by Fr. Angelus Montgomery, CFR, and Sr. Karolyn Nunes, FSGM.
Episode originally aired December 2022.

Searching and Fearless
God wants to go back into our lives and our stories — and start speaking light, redemption and truth over that. There’s the need for us to have a radical opening of our hearts and honesty to what really is happening in our lives. We have to be…

Stay Where the Grace Is
Life is difficult — our life is a valley of tears. And the ability to remain in faith, hope, and love with God as Father is impossible if we do it ourselves. If we want to be able to experience God’s closeness and his presence and to cry out “Abba, Father” in the midst of our …

Rebuild to Reconsecrate
What does restoration or reconsecration look like? Why do we need it? Restoration and reconsecration mean finding our lives again in Christ and putting Jesus at the center of our lives.
