Series on Silence Vs. Noise (Part 1 of 2)
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. However, the world has become a place of radical noise, trying to rob us of the experience of God, and there’s always been an inner battle to stay in contemplative silence. Today, we’ll talk about the realities and dynamics of silence as God’s language and how we can win the battle and remain in this silence with Him.

Optimizing Confession
Going to confession regularly can become routine — a checklist — instead of what it can be: an encounter with God. Examine not only your sins, but also the one you’ve sinned against; the Lord. Because there’s a difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. You receive forgiveness; you’re…

A Prophetic People
We’re called to be prophets. Real, recognizable prophets in our day to day. How does that hit you? What does your life look like? Do people around you see it and think, “This guy’s living it. He communicates in the depths of who he is that Jesus is alive and he’s real and he’s risen from the dead and this means something…

Limited Men
Have you ever felt like everyone needs something from you, and you just don’t have enough to give?
In this episode, the friars reflect honestly on leadership, fatherhood, responsibility, and the ache of being limited. Whether it’s emails, texts, meetings, ministry, family needs, or people asking for more than we can offer, there is a real poverty in wanting to love well while knowing we cannot do everything perfectly.
They talk about the humility of naming our limits, the importance of healthy boundaries, and the grace of admitting, “I am a limited man.” This isn’t about giving less or closing our hearts. It’s about learning how to give ourselves freely, honestly, and with Jesus, trusting that our limitations are not obstacles to His work.
For parents, pastors, leaders, and anyone feeling stretched thin, this conversation is a reminder that we do not have to be infinite. We are invited to be faithful, poor, generous, and dependent on the One who never runs out.
Join us as we learn to accept our limits and let Jesus meet us in the poverty of what we cannot carry alone.
