- 47. Shema: Episode 1 - What's With the Name?
In this series we explore what's behind the Shema prayer ("You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength... and your neighbor as yourself") and why it's so central to our identity that we chose to name our ministry after it.

1 hr 5 min - 43. The Problem of the Church 2: Realigning Habits, Redeeming Desire
In this conversation, we explore how we can imagine a better way forward for the Church to address the problem of misaligned habits undercutting the Gospel. What do our habits tell us about our deepest longings, and how can we re-direct these towards Christ?

31 min - 40. Desert Fathers and Mothers 6 - St. Martin of Braga
This week we reflect on the following saying from St. Martin of Braga:
A brother asked an old man, "What shall I do for my sins?" He replied, "He who desires to be free from his sins shall be freed from them by weeping, and he who wishes to build virtues in himself will build them by weeping. Even the Scriptures are composed of mourning, for our fathers said to their disciples, Wail. There is no other way to life except this."

28 min - 39. Desert Fathers and Mothers 5 - Amma Syncletica
This week we reflect on the following saying from Amma Syncletica:
Amma Syncletica said, "There are many who live in the mountains and behave as if they were in the town, and they are wasting their time. It is possible to be a solitary in one's mind while living in a crowd, and it is possible for one who is a solitary to live in the crowd of personal thoughts."

33 min - 38. Desert Fathers and Mothers 4 - Abba Lot
This week we reflect on the following saying from Abba Lot:
"Abba Lot went to see Abba Joseph and said to him, "Abba, as far as I can say, I do my little office, I read my psalms, I fast a little bit, I pray and I meditate, I live in peace with others as far as I can, I purify my thoughts. Tell me, Father, what else, what more can I do?" Then the old man, Abba Joseph, stood up, stretched out his hands toward heaven, and his fingers became like ten lamps of fire, and he said to him, "If you will, you can become all flame."
