What do you do when God comes to you in mystery? We can find medicine if we search for God in the mysteries of suffering, the ordinary, and the hidden sacraments. God uses these mysteries to communicate medicines for our transformation, our holiness, and the things we most deeply need to grow, change, heal, and become the children of God he made us to be. In this special episode with Spoke Street at SEEK 24, we’ll engage in a profound discussion, reflecting and diving deeper into Fr. Isaiah’s “Mysteries & Medicine” album by Fr. Isaiah and what it means to find God through the mysteries.

When One Door Closes…
What do you do when the plan you had suddenly falls apart?
In this episode, the friars reflect on the role of closed doors in discernment, those moments when something we hoped for, planned for, or tried to control simply doesn’t happen. A missed flight, a changed plan, a lost opportunity, a relationship that doesn’t unfold the way we imagined… sometimes reality interrupts us and invites us to listen more deeply.
Rather than seeing every closed door as failure, the friars explore how these moments can become places of surrender, curiosity, and trust. Not because every disappointment is easy or painless, but because Jesus is present even there. The Resurrection reminds us that no door is more closed than the sealed tomb, and even there, God was not finished.
Join us as we learn to trust Jesus in the detours, the disruptions, and the closed doors, and discover that what feels like an ending may become the place He begins something new.

A Pro-Life Examen
Have you ever felt overwhelmed or unsure about what being “pro-life” actually looks like in your everyday life? Rather than focusing on politics or arguments, this conversation centers on discipleship: prayer, sacrifice, courage, and small, concrete steps that flow from the Gospel. It’s an invitation to examine our hearts with humility and let God show us where He’s calling us to deeper faithfulness. In this episode, the friars invite us into a yearly pro-life examen. A prayerful pause to notice where indifference, distraction, or fatigue may have crept in, and to remember why the dignity of human life matters so deeply to our faith. They speak honestly about how easy it is to grow numb and why staying awake to this reality is an act of love. Join us as we ask the Lord to renew our hearts and teach us how to love and defend life more intentionally.
