Have you ever struggled to believe that God could really work through your weakness?
In this episode, the friars turn their gaze to the Blessed Mother and the quiet, radical way she lived the Beatitudes. They reflect on Mary’s poverty of spirit, her meekness, and her total availability to God, not as something distant or unattainable, but as a lived posture of trust, openness, and surrender.
They explore how Mary’s emptiness became the space where God did His greatest work, how her confidence came from knowing who she was before the Father, and how her motherhood continues to draw close to us in our own poverty and need.
Join us as we entrust ourselves again to our Mother and learn how her “yes” teaches us how to receive God more fully in our own lives.

The Option’s Not Optional
“How is Jesus calling you to serve the poor?” This is the question we’ll attempt to answer in this episode. Jesus loved the poor; like Him, we are called to be a lifeline for needy people. God sees the poor, but we are called to intercede on their behalf—to be somebody who can bring them to Him. This episode talks about the importance, necessity…

Freed by the Cross
How can the wounds of Jesus on the cross set us free? Could the cross be more than a symbol—an exorcism, a place of absolute freedom and healing? His open heart invites us to lay down our disordered loves and be delivered from the false attachments that enslave us. Could the cross be where we find freedom, not just from sin, but from the Egypt still within us? This is the freedom Jesus…

Realities Not Fantasies (Rewind)
We think we’re most free when we can be in control. “I’m free when I get up every day and have control over my life and circumstances.” That’s not Catholic freedom, according to Jacque Philippe, but it is accepting reality as it is. We struggle with freedom because it’s hard to accept our weaknesses, and it’s pretty difficult to accept…
