Episode 266 - Joy and the Valley of Tears - Series on Jesus and the Jubilee (Part 14)
Ever feel too tired, too broken, or too behind to be joyful?
You’re not alone. But the gift of Paschal Joy isn’t about having it all together—it’s about Jesus coming to you right where you are. This joy isn’t manufactured; it’s a gift rooted in the Resurrection. Even in our weakness, Jesus says: “It’s not about you—it’s about Me.”
In this episode, the friars talk about joy in the midst of suffering and how the Jubilee year reminds us that joy is something to receive, not achieve.

Can we let God be the one who provides, who carries us, who fills us with His presence and love?

This podcast episode invites you into the deep rest your heart’s been craving—not just a pause from work, but a return to the Father’s arms.

Why do we leave what’s good and go searching for answers in places that break us?
This week, the friars unpack the story of the Good Samaritan through the lens of the Jubilee year. What draws us away from the peace and identity we have in God—toward places that leave us wounded and empty? Whether it’s the orphan mindset, performance pressure, or endless distractions, we all carry brokenness. But Jesus meets us there, not with judgment, but healing. He carries us home, restoring what’s been lost.

Episode 263 - Freed by the Cross
How can the wounds of Jesus at the cross set us free?
Could the cross be more than a symbol—could it be an exorcism, a place of real freedom and healing? His open heart invites us to lay down our disordered loves and be delivered from the false attachments that enslave us.
Could the cross be where we find freedom, not just from sin, but from the Egypt still within us? This is the freedom Jesus offers: deep, lasting, and born from love.
Join us as we explore how the heart of Christ transforms and frees us at the deepest level.

Episode 260 - Jubilee and Christ the High Priest - Series on Jesus and the Jubilee (Part 9)
What if your true identity is more sacred than you ever imagined?
Jesus is the High Priest, the one mediator who intercedes for us at the right hand of the Father, offering not just prayers but our wounds, our brokenness, and all of humanity's sins back to God. As His followers, we are invited to imitate and be conformed to this sacred role—offering spiritual sacrifices and living lives marked by worship, intercession, and transformation.
In this episode, we dive deep into our priestly identity—a calling not reserved for a few, but extended to all who follow Christ. We explore what it means to be guardians of worship, to beautify the liturgy, and to walk with a priestly heart, especially as we enter into the profound moments of Holy Week.
Join us in this episode as we talk about the characteristics of a priestly heart and how, through Jesus, we are called to reclaim our identity, not just as believers, but as guardians of what is holy.

Episode 259 - Jubilee and Christ the Bridegroom - Series on Jesus and the Jubilee (Part 8)
Who do we belong to?
God shows us that from the beginning, Adam and Eve were bride and bridegroom. There's an original identity that God holds, which is super important for the meaning of our lives as men and women, for the meaning of our lives as sons and daughters. The covenant of marriage is established in the garden as something deeply meaningful. It's like it's a commentary on what we're made for. We belong to God and to each other.
As a part of our journey to restore our identities during this Jubilee year, we're diving deep into the identity of Christ as the bridegroom.

What role do the prophets play in this Jubilee?
The heart of the Jubilee is spiritual freedom and spiritual reconciliation, and the prophets saw that. They saw that the Jubilee is a year to recall ourselves to our fundamental relationship with God.
Once again, this year, we are invited to reconcile with God and dive into this virtuous circle of reconciliation, forgiveness, and freedom so that we can be relieved of our sins and internal struggles that enslave us and ultimately express the same circle with others.

Episode 255 - The Exodus and Jubilee ft. Dr. John Bergsma - Series on Jesus and the Jubilee (Part 4)
What does true freedom look like, and how can we restore what was lost?
In the Book of Exodus, the Israelites' journey from slavery to freedom is a profound story of spiritual liberation. Led by Moses, they confront the oppressive forces of Egypt and experience God's miraculous intervention through the plagues, ultimately leading to their escape and journey toward the Promised Land.
This story is not just about historical events but also about humanity's ongoing struggle for freedom, forgiveness, and a deeper relationship with God. The Exodus story reminds us that liberation is possible and that through God, we can reclaim what was lost—freedom, family, and fullness.
In this episode, together with our special guest, Dr. John Bergsma, we will reflect on the importance of the Exodus story in relation to this Jubilee year.

Why does the desert during Lent matter?
Why do we journey there every year for three weeks, alongside our brothers in faith?
The desert isn't just a place of physical challenge or adventure—it's a biblical invitation to encounter God in a profound way. It’s a place where we can strip away distractions, face our vulnerabilities, and open ourselves to God's transformative presence. The desert is both a terrifying and purifying place, just as it is for Jesus.
In this episode, we dive deep into the spiritual significance of the desert during the Lenten season. Join us as we explore the desert’s deep spiritual meaning, and how this sacred journey is not just for the body but also for the spirit.

What does fasting in Lent mean to you and to Jesus?
Fasting from food for the sake of health benefits is good, however fasting to bring us closer in relationship with Jesus, now that's something else entirely. Fasting is also an opportunity to feel the hunger in our bodies so that God can come and fulfill our hunger in the deepest ways.
In this episode, we'll dive deeper into what fasting truly means and how we can say No to ourselves, through simple sacrifices and say Yes to create more space for intimacy with Jesus.

Episode 249 - Jesus's Favorite Things: Repentance, Series on Jesus's Favorite Things (Part 4)
What does repentance truly look like?
A good way to look at repentance is that it brings us back to love. It's one of Jesus's favorite things because he sees our hearts and desires change so that we do not live sinfully anymore.
Repentance is not just about wanting to change our behaviors, it's about wanting to change because we love God, it's being sorry because we love God and that we don't want to live our old lives with sin because we love God. We repent because we love God and we want to be with him.
In this episode, we'll dive deep into what the true meaning of repentance looks like and learn why it's one of Jesus's favorite things.

Episode 248 - Jesus's Favorite Things: Quality Time, Series on Jesus's Favorite Things (Part 3)
Do you also spend quality time with Jesus?
We believe part of Jesus's favorite thing is to be with us. He desires to be with us and wants to spend time with us. He chooses people to be with Him as He's with His Father.
Jesus has given himself to us in the most holy Eucharist. It's a true testament that He chooses to give himself, his love and that he desires to spend quality time with us and a way in which we can love Him is by receiving him, coming to him, and spending quality time with Him in prayer.
In this episode, we'll talk about another part of Jesus's favorite things, quality time, and how we can be renewed on receiving Jesus's presence in our lives and desire to spend time with Him.

Episode 247 - Jesus's Favorite Things: Lowliness, Series on Jesus's Favorite Things (Part 2)
What does lowliness mean to you and to God?
The experience of lowliness can sometimes be what we dislike about ourselves. These are times when we're not doing great, or when we're not rich or not attractive—these are usually the parts that we reject about ourselves.
But part of the mystery is that in this lowliness is where God mostly manifests His love for us and where he reveals His heart for us and Jesus embodies this kind of lowliness.
In this episode, we're gonna talk about Jesus's next favorite thing which is lowliness, and how we can have a different meaning to our lowliness.
