Have you ever looked at your life and quietly thought, “How did I end up here?”
Continuing their Lenten reflection on the Prodigal Son, the friars look at the hard truth: sin always leads somewhere. What begins as freedom and excitement ends in isolation, shame, and a loss of dignity. The son who demanded his inheritance finds himself alone in the pigsty, cut off from communion and facing the reality of his choices.
In this episode, the friars invite us into a sober, honest look at our own lives. Not to condemn, but to see clearly. Because when we face the real consequences of sin, we also begin to rediscover hope.
Join us as we name the cost of going our own way, and remember that the Father’s mercy is always waiting.

At The Well
In one form or another, we can sometimes live in isolation and hiding. Because of shame and sin, we clothe ourselves with shadows and hide. These lies we hide behind keep us stuck and paralyzed—Jesus wants to call us out of that.
