“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, and beauty of having hearts mindful of those most in need. An invitation to live how Jesus lived and loved those in need.

How Does Jesus See My Sin?
Have you ever felt like your sin says more about you than God’s mercy does?
In this episode, the friars reflect on how we experience our own sin and how easy it is to fall into shame, discouragement, anxiety, or self-condemnation. They explore the difference between healthy sorrow for sin and the kind of shame that begins to define us, isolate us, and keep us from bringing our weakness honestly to Jesus.
This conversation is not about taking sin lightly. It’s about learning to see our sin with the mind and heart of Christ. Jesus does not ignore our sin, but He also does not reduce us to it. He meets us there with mercy, patience, and a love that calls us deeper into freedom.
Join us as we learn to stop staring only at our weakness, and begin again by looking at Jesus, who sees us fully and still calls us beloved.
