We have some pretty strong feelings on this topic, and it shows in this week’s episode.
Passing through purgatory is the experience that prepares us for heaven. There’s no greater insight into what purgatory is like than family life or community life. The most important thing you’ll bring to your vocation — whether that’s religious life or family life — is your capacity to be a man or woman of communion. This applies directly to mission, too. We can be obsessed with mission at the cost of communion, and that’s when your mission will dry up because it’s no longer connected to the vine.
So what does it mean to be a man or woman of communion? What does a life like that look like? We get into all of it in this conversation.

A Really Good Episode
Because of fear and insecurity that is ruling our life, we tend to control everything and self-protect. We look inward and we really don’t see what God is doing—we don’t really trust anyone around us. We don’t have to be afraid anymore. There…

Christ the Bridegroom (Lent 2024)
How does a bridegroom love his bride? That is how Jesus loves each one of us. He meets us wherever we are in life to be our beloved and for us to be His. The Lord meets us in the desert, our place of poverty, where He betroths us to Him, and He betroths Himself to us. In this way, Jesus, as the bridegroom, reveals a quality of love, the way God loves. In this episode, we aim to understand better what it means to have Jesus…

Peace Not Panic (Rewind)
We have this tendency that we want to fix or clean-up certain things first before we let the Lord in. We are afraid that our place, our lives are messy—that it can be too much for anyone even for God to handle. But God is NOT panicking, he’s completely in control. He’s not afraid or scandalized of how messy our lives are…
