What if seeing God isn’t about trying harder, but desiring Him more simply?
For this week the friars turn to the Beatitude: “Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God.” In this episode, they explore what purity of heart really means, not moral perfection, but a heart that looks to Jesus without distraction, without divided desires, without constantly turning back toward the world.
They talk about intimacy with God, the battle against distraction, how sin clouds our vision, and how purity isn’t about hating yourself but forgetting yourself so you can finally fix your gaze on the One who loves you. Through the lens of St. Francis, the saints, and our own daily struggles, this conversation invites us to reorient our hearts toward the Father and receive again the joy that comes from seeing Him clearly.
Walk with us as we learn to desire what He desires and see God in a new and life-changing way.

A New Year’s Resolution
What if this year’s resolution isn’t about fixing your life, but about trusting God in the middle of it? As a new year begins, the friars talk honestly about goals, growth, and the tension between good intentions and real life. But the conversation quickly turns deeper. Drawing from the Gospel scene of the storm at sea, they reflect on the haunting question the disciples ask Jesus: “Do you not care that we are perishing?” This episode invites us to start the year not by avoiding the storms we’re in, but by naming them and discovering that Jesus is already in the boat with us. His silence isn’t indifference. His meekness isn’t distance. It’s the quiet confidence of a God who cares deeply, stays close, and is already at work. Join us as we begin the year by seeking the one resolution that changes everything: learning to trust that He truly cares.
