We allow our hearts to agree with the truth of who God is — that’s what adoration means. And as we become more familiar with the truth who God is through adoration, we start to see more clearly who God is to us and what is given to us by Him. Everything that we have is a gift from God and for most of us this is an overwhelming truth where Praise is the only just response.
This episode is the sixth and last part on the series on Hungry For God by Dr. Ralph Martin which talks about what praise is and its importance.

What makes us most free is this submission to God and this dependence on Him. Yes, freedom is dependent on obedience rather than doing whatever I want. When we fall in love with God and experience that love, this profound interior freedom takes place, and it becomes the most important thing in our lives — even to the point that it…

The Necessary Consequence of Sin (Lent 2026)
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.
