Episode 243 - Hot Takes 7
We have to understand that we are going through different journeys. God is doing something completely different in each of our lives and we have to be attentive to that. Let us not be so quick to judge—everything is not as simple as it may seem. As we continue our journeys through life, we will constantly encounter our own and other people's struggles, flaws, weaknesses, and even sins.
In our Catholic life, there will be a lot of questions that will come our way and in this episode, we'll try to answer a few of them.
Here is another one of our Hot Takes episodes that talks about some essential topics that most of us can relate to. In this episode we'll be going through the following topics:
1️⃣ An Individual Who Lives In a Society
2️⃣ Can Men and Women Be Friends?
3️⃣ Jesus' 5 Favorite ThingsThe Poco a Poco podcast happens because of many generous donors, including recurring monthly donations of any amount. Thinking about helping out? You can give at https://spiritjuice.org/supportpoco. Thank you!

Episode 242 - Marian Consecration, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 7)
What does it mean to be consecrated to Our Lady and what do we do after that?
We've been on this journey of restoration in preparation for this consecration, so what should we expect during this consecration and the days after that?
What happens next doesn't have to be super unreachable, but in the simpleness of our lives, it's having Our Lady be part of our days whether it's good or bad. It's learning to reference her more, make room for her in our hearts, and welcome her into our lives.
In today's episode, we're gonna dive deeper into what Marian consecration looks like.

What does your relationship with Mary look like?
As we draw closer to the consecration of Our Lady of Guadalupe, we believe it's a good time to reflect and look at our relationship, journey, and encounter with Mary. We are invited to dive deeper into our relationship with her, our personal love for her, and some moments of grace along the way.
Today, we'll go in a slightly different and more personal direction and talk about how we encountered and grew in our personal relationship with Mary. We'll dive deeper into how Mary is with us and wants to be a mother to all of us.

Episode 240 - Restoring Our Mission, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 5)
What's the mission that Jesus is calling you to do?
We all have a mission that we are picked to do and that mission should be something that we share with Jesus. We are invited to love like Jesus and ultimately, love like The Father-we are invited to live in greatness and give our lives to something that matters.
In this episode, we look into what it means to be restored as sons and daughters who are given a mission in life towards fulfillment and fullness and how we can remain faithful to that mission.

Episode 239 - Restoring Our Actions and Attitudes, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 4)
How do we act? What are our attitudes toward our relationships, our lives, and our vocations?
The invitation to restoration this week is to start to live like Jesus, and we present the Beatitudes as a way to make this happen in our lives. Beatitudes are the actions and attitudes of Jesus. It's a reflection of His own heart—a reflection of living in relationship with Him and being ultimately transformed into Him.
The hope for this week's episode is that we could receive a new grace in our lives where we can look at the beatitudes in a new way as an invitation to restoration and conversion in being sons and daughters of God.

Episode 238 - True Masculinity and Femininity, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 3)
What does it mean to be sons and daughters who are living true masculinity and femininity?
In a world that has kind of a broken understanding of masculinity and femininity, it seems that our identities as sons and daughters of God—the idea of masculinity and femininity, have been hijacked and somehow misunderstood. This is why it's just so important to understand our hearts and reorient ourselves to what we are supposed to be doing as a man or a woman.
This episode was originally meant for men and masculinity but some of the topics also apply to women and femininity. With that said, today we are going through the different facets of what it means to have a redeemed masculinity or femininity and how that aids in the restoration of our sonship or daughtership.

Episode 237 - Restoring Communion, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 2)
What does it mean to be restored, sons and daughters? How do we begin?
Jesus was always in prayer, and we are invited to do the same. This is why restoration should begin with the gift of prayer and communion with God. We would also need to create a space for restoration and have the sensitivity and receptivity to be in a deeper communion with God.
In this episode, we continue our 40-day journey to the reconsecration of Our Lady of Guadalupe and try to learn how we can listen to God more deeply and restore our realities as sons and daughters of God.

Episode 236 - Rebuild to Reconsecrate, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 1)
What does restoration or reconsecration look like, why do we need it?
Restoration and reconsecration mean finding our lives once again in Christ and putting Jesus right at the center of our lives. It means to desire to grow, go deeper, and learn again that God is our Father and that Jesus can lead us to a deeper way of being sons and daughters.
If you're currently facing the reality of your brokenness, waywardness, or exile, wherever you find yourself right now—that's okay. The gift of our baptism can be restored and renewed through Jesus and Our Lady is gonna help us to do that. Just as Our Lady of Guadalupe restored Juan Diego’s hope, she can help you restore your sonship or daughtershhip in God the Father.
In this episode, we're gonna look into how we can rebuild and reconsecrate the chapel of our hearts as we start a 40-day journey to the reconsecration of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

How do you experience beauty and how are you moved by it?
God presents to us the gift of the beauty of the world. Beauty is usually in the eye of the beholder, and we all experience and see beauty differently. But at the same time, it is commonly an experience of awe and wonder before the other or before the world.
We are invited to be more open to the beautiful things in our lives, be moved by different expressions of beauty, and allow our hearts to be expanded to acknowledge what's truly beautiful through our own lenses and others as well.
In this episode, we will talk about the gift of beauty, how we can see it differently, and how we can be more open to how beauty calls us to love and communion.

If you don't value something, does it mean it's not really valuable to others or to the world?
Our life experiences form us and our hearts respond in different ways particularly where there are areas of something that we didn't experience or something that we grew up without in our life.
We can have a coping mechanism or a defense mechanism of numbing and closing that part of our hearts so that it doesn't become an open lifelong wound, which then becomes somewhat naturally, a value. A value that tells us which is important and which is not important, and which we can project onto other people as well.
So we want to be open to discerning those realities at play, in this episode, we are invited to know our own hearts through a healthy self-awareness and self-doubt along with the openness to receive what others value.

How do I hear and know God's Voice?
God desires to break into our lives and speak with us—to communicate with us. But most of the time, what that looks like can be quite unclear. That is why it's important that we are able to discern how God speaks. In this episode, we're gonna look at some practical ways to hear and know the voice of God and see how we can receive what He speaks to each of us.

How can we bring our feelings to the Lord?
Once we have a sense of what we are feeling and why we are feeling that way, this would be the next step that we're invited to do—to turn to Jesus in prayer in great faith and trust then relate and bring these feelings to him and let him respond to it.
In this episode, we'll talk about how we can relate our emotions to the Lord and what it would look like to let Him speak His words into those feelings.

Why do we feel a certain way?
This would be a great question to ask ourselves once we identify and name what we feel.
It's good to learn what's ultimately at stake in every emotion, test, or situation we encounter and understand why it's so important to us. This episode talks about some practical examples and applications of how we can dive deeper into that and how we can use that to grow and build our lives on rock of what it means to be beloved children of God.

How do you feel? And why do emotions matter?
Valuing the emotional life as important, they are an intrinsic part of us. Emotions are neutral in nature but how we respond to them can be both fruitful and dangerous, this is why knowing how to navigate them is vital in our human life.
In this episode, we'll talk about the importance of emotions, the right word and place for them, and how they integrate with the spiritual life.

How much do you know about yourself?
This might be a good starting point to ask ourselves in our interior life pilgrimage. From self-protection to self-acceptance, to self-possession, and ultimately to self-gift, it's a journey to know oneself. And the beauty of being in prayer with the Lord is that we're growing in self-knowledge and self-acceptance, self-possession with Jesus.
In this episode, we'll talk about the importance of self-knowledge and self-acceptance and how we can identify what we need to grow and/or accept throughout our interior life pilgrimage.

What do you do when God comes to you in mystery?
If we are willing to search for God in the mysteries of suffering, the ordinary, and the sacraments, hidden somewhere in there, we can find medicines.
God uses these mysteries to communicate medicines, for our transformation, our holiness, the things we most deeply need to grow, change, heal, and become the children of God he made us to be.
In this special episode with Spoke Street at SEEK 24, we'll talk about, reflect, and dive deeper into Fr. Isaiah's "Mysteries & Medicine" album by Fr. Isaiah and what it means to find God through the mysteries.

Are you able to see the goodness of God?
We are invited to trust and surrender that God is good and is always with us, to be rooted in the truth that God is Father, that He knows us, that He is good, and that He loves us.
This is the fourth and last episode on the Mysteries & Medicine album which teaches us how we can call out to Him and ask for the grace to trust Him and to be reunited in our identity, but most importantly, first and foremost, His identity—a deeper dive into our life journey, our pilgrimage with the one who is always with us, loves us and knows us by name.
