Fourth Week of Advent
The Lord doesn’t need a perfect moment to do what he does. He can use—and has used — all the secular events and moments in history to bring about his plan.

In this episode, we’ll talk about hospitality, what home is, what it can be, and how we can make it a place where we can joyfully…

Jesus’s Favorite Things: Lowliness
What does lowliness mean to you and God? The experience of lowliness can sometimes be what we dislike about ourselves. These are times when we’re not doing great or not rich or attractive—these are usually the parts we reject about ourselves.

The Father’s Blessing
Affirmation feels different when it’s public, out loud and in front of everyone — as at the Baptism of Christ and the Transfiguration, where God audibly affirmed Jesus as his beloved Son.
