Ride-sharing. Food delivery. Pet sitting. Side hustles are everywhere and there’s nothing wrong with that. But when it comes to faith, eternal life, and the meaning of life itself, there are no side hustles. In one of His most famous teachings, Jesus says He has not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. He is the fulfillment. He is the way to heaven. He is the meaning of life.
Chase your goals and work hard but when it comes to what truly matters, there’s only one answer. It’s always been Jesus.

We Need Both
Watching food shows can be frustrating, you can see the food, but you can’t taste it, and it never truly satisfies.

That’s the invitation for us. We don’t just study Jesus, we receive Him. Scripture and the sacraments go together, and when they do, we encounter Him fully.
