A Quiet Catechism

013 Obedience


Listen Later

Episode 13 of A Quiet Catechism, "Obedience as Come Closer," gently reclaims one of the most misunderstood words in the Christian life, inviting listeners to see obedience not as punishment, pressure, or becoming less themselves, but as the way love listens and leans toward God. Through Scripture, Catholic tradition, the example of Christ's own "yes" to the Father, and the ordinary demands of real life, the episode explores how true obedience honors conscience, requires discernment, and unfolds in small, honest acts of trust rather than grand spiritual heroics. With warmth, theological depth, and pastoral tenderness, this episode encourages listeners to hear obedience not as "be smaller," but as Christ's quiet invitation to "come closer," one faithful yes at a time.
