August 10Episode 8: When Compassion Interrupts Your Plans: Becoming a Neighbor
Luke 10:25-37 (Parable of the Good Samaritan) + A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
Jesus could have taught in lectures, but instead, He told stories. His listeners were captivated by stories about fathers and sons, widows and judges, banquets and vineyards, lost coins, unexpected neighbors, and servants waiting in the night. At first glance, the parables in the Gospel of Luke seem simple. But beneath these familiar stories lies a deeper invitation—not merely to understand the symbolism of the parables, but to be transformed by them.
In this series of the Be Still podcast, Lisa journeys through some of the most beloved parables in the Gospel of Luke. Each episode pairs Scripture with a memorable work of literature, exploring how great stories help us recognize ourselves in Jesus' teaching and encounter the heart of God in a fresh way.
Together we'll discover that the parables are not just stories Jesus told long ago. They are stories that continue to tell the truth about us—and about the God who is still seeking, forgiving, inviting, and restoring His people today.
"Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” He said, “The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise." (Luke 10:36–37)
Who is my neighbor?
It's a question that seems simple until Jesus answers it with a story.
In this episode, Lisa reflects on the Parable of the Good Samaritan alongside Fredrik Backman's bestselling novel A Man Called Ove. At first glance, Ove appears to be little more than a grumpy old man who pushes everyone away. But as his neighbors refuse to give up on him, we're reminded that every person carries a story we cannot fully see.
Jesus' parable invites us to look beyond excuses, fears, and convenience to discover what mercy really looks like. The priest saw a risk. The Levite saw a reason to keep walking. The Samaritan saw a neighbor.
Together, Scripture and story remind us that compassion is rarely dramatic. More often, it looks like crossing the road, interrupting our plans, and choosing to move toward another person's needs. In doing so, we often discover that God transforms our own hearts as much as the life we're trying to help.
In this episode, we explore:
Why does Jesus answer, "Who is my neighbor?" by showing us what it means to become a neighbor.
What the priest and the Levite reveal about the ways we justify withholding mercy.
How A Man Called Ove reminds us that every difficult person has a story we cannot fully see.
Why mercy almost always requires inconvenience.
How ordinary acts of compassion become the very places where God changes both the giver and the receiver.
What it looks like to "cross the road" in our own daily lives.
Journaling Questions
When I hesitate to help someone, what is usually holding me back? Is it fear of the cost, uncertainty about what to do, the assumption that someone else is better equipped, or something else entirely?
Is there someone God has placed in my path—not to solve all of their problems—but simply to move toward with compassion this week? What would "crossing the road" look like in that relationship?
Key Scripture
Luke 10:25–37.

August 03Episode 7: When Grace Changes Everything: The Two Debtors and Les Misérables
Luke 7:36–50 + Les Misérables by Victor Hugo
Jesus could have taught in lectures, but instead, He told stories. His listeners were captivated by stories about fathers and sons, widows and judges, banquets and vineyards, lost coins, unexpected neighbors, and servants waiting in the night. At first glance, the parables in the Gospel of Luke seem simple. But beneath these familiar stories lies a deeper invitation—not merely to understand the symbolism of the parables, but to be transformed by them.
In this series of the Be Still podcast, Lisa journeys through some of the most beloved parables in the Gospel of Luke. Each episode pairs Scripture with a memorable work of literature, exploring how great stories help us recognize ourselves in Jesus' teaching and encounter the heart of God in a fresh way.
Together we'll discover that the parables are not just stories Jesus told long ago. They are stories that continue to tell the truth about us—and about the God who is still seeking, forgiving, inviting, and restoring His people today.
In today’s episode, Lisa explores the parable of the two debtors in Luke 7, pairing one of Jesus' most unforgettable parables with one of the greatest novels ever written. Why do some people respond to God's grace with overwhelming love while others remain untouched by it? In this gospel, a woman known for her sinful past pours out extravagant love at Jesus' feet, while Simon the Pharisee watches with quiet judgment. Jesus responds with a simple story about two debtors—and reveals a truth that has the power to change every human heart.
Alongside this gospel account, Lisa explores Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, where Jean Valjean and Inspector Javert embody two radically different ways of understanding righteousness, mercy, and grace.
Together, these stories ask the same question:
Will we come to God holding a résumé—or with empty hands?
Lisa explores:
Why Jesus tells Simon a story instead of condemning him
What the woman at Simon's table understood that Simon missed
Why forgiveness is a gift we receive, not something we earn
The striking parallels between Simon the Pharisee and Inspector Javert
How Jean Valjean's transformation begins with an unexpected act of mercy
Why grace doesn't minimize sin—it transforms sinners
What Jesus meant when He said, "He who is forgiven little loves little"
How recognizing our own need for mercy changes the way we see everyone else
Whether you've read Les Misérables many times or have never opened its pages, this episode is an invitation to encounter the heart of the gospel again—to discover that grace is not a reward for the worthy but a gift for those who know they need it.
Journaling Questions
Where am I tempted to come to God with a résumé instead of empty hands? In what area of my life am I subtly trying to earn His love or approval rather than simply receiving His grace?
Is there someone I have quietly defined by their worst mistake? Ask the Lord to help you see that person through His eyes, remembering that His grace has the power to transform every human heart.
Key Scripture
Luke 7:36–50.

July 13Bonus Episode: Between Heartbreak and Hallelujah: There Is Holiness in the Waiting
There are seasons when life no longer looks the way we imagined. The diagnosis comes. The relationship changes. The waiting stretches on. The prayers seem unanswered. We find ourselves asking, God, what are You doing? Can I still trust You?
In this bonus episode of Be Still, Lisa explores what Scripture reveals about "the Land Between"—the wilderness where the Israelites lived between Egypt and the Promised Land. While we long for quick answers and immediate resolution, God often does some of His deepest work in the waiting.
Drawing from the Exodus story, Numbers 11, and Isaiah 40, Lisa reflects on what it means to trust God's character when we cannot understand His timing. She explores the difference between lament and complaint, the illusion of control, and why the wilderness becomes "trust school" for every believer.
If you're living between heartbreak and hallelujah, this episode is a reminder that you are not forgotten. God has not stopped being God. He is still at work—and if He is in the waiting, then even the waiting is holy.
Journaling Questions
Where do I find myself in the "Land Between" today?
Is there an unanswered prayer, a painful waiting, or an uncertain future where God is inviting me to trust Him? As you pray, ask the Lord to reveal whether your heart has been moving toward lament that keeps you close to Him—or complaint that is quietly pulling you away.
What burden am I still carrying with clenched fists?
Spend a few moments picturing yourself opening your hands before the Lord. What is He inviting you to release into His care today? Ask Him for the grace to trust His character, even when you cannot understand His timing.
Key Scriptures
Exodus 12:37–38. The Israelites set out from Rameses for Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, not counting the children. A crowd of mixed ancestry also went up with them, with livestock in great abundance, both flocks and herds.
Numbers 11:4-23
Isaiah 40:31. They that hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on eagles’ wings; They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.

July 06Episode 6: When Fear Steals Today: Learning Wonder from Anne of Green Gables
Matthew 6:25–34 + Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
In a world that rarely slows down, God invites us to be still. In this first season of Be Still: A Walking with Purpose Podcast, Lisa Brenninkmeyer explores six Scriptures that teach us how to stop striving, quiet our hearts, and trust Him in the middle of real life. Through the wisdom of the Bible and the companionship of great books, we’ll discover how God gently holds us steady and invites us to be still—right where we are.
How much of your life are you missing because you're worrying about tomorrow?
Many of us spend our days mentally living in the future—anticipating problems, rehearsing conversations, bracing for losses, and trying to control outcomes we cannot control. Meanwhile, the life we're actually living slips quietly past.
In this episode of Be Still, Lisa reflects on Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery and Jesus' invitation in Matthew 6 to consider the birds of the air and the lilies of the field.
Anne's life was marked by uncertainty, disappointment, and longing. Yet she possessed a remarkable ability to notice beauty, delight in ordinary moments, and hope for goodness even when she had no guarantees about the future.
Lisa explores:
Why fear often steals the present moment
The difference between being childish and childlike
How naming beauty helps us notice God's gifts
What Jesus meant when He told us to consider the birds and lilies
The hidden cost of waiting for certainty before allowing ourselves joy
How friendship grows through ordinary, repeated moments
Why wonder is not the absence of anxiety, but the decision to keep noticing beauty anyway
You may not know how your story will unfold. Anne didn't either. But neither of you has to know the ending to enjoy the chapter you're living right now.
This episode is an invitation to stop borrowing trouble from tomorrow and begin receiving today as the gift it truly is.
Journaling Questions
What future concern has been occupying my thoughts lately, and how might it be preventing me from fully receiving the gifts God is giving me today?
If I were Anne, what would I name as a "White Way of Delight" or a "Lake of Shining Waters" in my own life right now?
Key Scripture
Matthew 6:34. “So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own.” (NRSV)

June 29Episode 5: When You Don’t Feel Like Yourself: Returning to the Voice of Love
Luke 3:21–22 + The Inner Voice of Love by Henri Nouwen
In a world that rarely slows down, God invites us to be still. In this first season of Be Still: A Walking with Purpose Podcast, Lisa Brenninkmeyer explores six Scriptures that teach us how to stop striving, quiet our hearts, and trust Him in the middle of real life. Through the wisdom of the Bible and the companionship of great books, we’ll discover how God gently holds us steady and invites us to be still—right where we are.
There are moments when nothing is obviously wrong—and yet something feels off.
You feel disconnected. Unsteady. Not quite like yourself.
In this episode of Be Still, Lisa reflects on Luke 3 alongside Henri Nouwen’s The Inner Voice of Love, a deeply personal journal written in a season of profound interior struggle. Together, they offer a steadying truth: when we lose our sense of self, it is often because we have drifted from the voice that tells us who we are.
What voices are shaping the way you see yourself?
Where are you looking to secure your identity?
What would it mean to return to the voice that calls you beloved?
In this episode we explore how to:
Recognize the competing voices within us—and gently return to the truth
Receive identity as a gift from God, not something to earn or prove
Distinguish between achievement and fruitfulness
Stand firm in moments of pain, rather than collapsing into striving or despair
Listen for the quiet, steady voice of God in the midst of inner noise
God does not steady us by demanding more from us.
He steadies us by reminding us who we are.
Journaling Questions
What voices have I been listening to lately, and what have they been telling me about who I am?
Where in my life am I trying to secure my identity through achievement, approval, or control?
If I place myself before God right now, what do I sense Him speaking over me?
Key Scripture
Luke 3:21–22. After all the people had been baptized and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, heaven was opened and the holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

June 22Episode 4: When Life Feels Like One Long Wait: The Quiet Work of God
Lamentations 3:25–26 + Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
In a world that rarely slows down, God invites us to be still. In this first season of Be Still: A Walking with Purpose Podcast, Lisa Brenninkmeyer explores six Scriptures that teach us how to stop striving, quiet our hearts, and trust Him in the middle of real life. Through the wisdom of the Bible and the companionship of great books, we’ll discover how God gently holds us steady and invites us to be still—right where we are.
Today we’re going to wait.
“The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.”
//Lamentations 3:25–26
Waiting rarely feels good.
We call it frustrating. Delayed. Unfair. We ask God for patience—and then find ourselves in long lines, long conversations, long healing processes, long seasons where nothing seems to move.
But Lamentations was written in the rubble of Jerusalem. The city had fallen. The temple had burned. The people were living with the consequences of idolatry and injustice. And right there—in the middle of grief—comes this quiet declaration:
The Lord is good to those who wait for him.
Waiting in Lamentations is corrective. Waiting in Gilead by Marilynne Robinson is mortal. Reverend John Ames is not under judgment—he is under time. Yet both kinds of waiting lead to the same place:
Dependence.
In this episode, Lisa explores how waiting exposes our limits, loosens our grip on control, and invites us to entrust the future to God. Through Scripture and story, we discover that waiting is not wasted time—it is often the quiet work of God forming us from the inside out.
Not all waiting is the same.
But all waiting confronts us with the same question:
Will I try to rescue myself—or will I entrust myself to the Lord?
In this episode, we explore:
Why Lamentations calls waiting “good” in the middle of devastation
The difference between corrective waiting and mortal waiting
How dependence, not control, becomes the turning point
What John Ames teaches us about blessing what we cannot manage
How quiet waiting is not passivity—but surrendered faithfulness
The interior work God may be doing when nothing seems to change
Waiting does not always change our circumstances. But it changes our sight. It steadies us.
Journaling Questions
In what area of my life am I waiting?
As I wait, what is already in my hands that I can honor?
What virtue might God be developing in me through this wait?
Key Scripture
Lamentations 3:25–26. The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.

June 15Episode 3: When You’re in a Changing Season: Holding Endings and Beginnings Together
Ecclesiastes 3:1–9 + The Gift of an Ordinary Day by Katrina Kenison
In a world that rarely slows down, God invites us to be still. In this first season of Be Still: A Walking with Purpose Podcast, Lisa Brenninkmeyer explores six Scriptures that teach us how to stop striving, quiet our hearts, and trust Him in the middle of real life. Through the wisdom of the Bible and the companionship of great books, we’ll discover how God gently holds us steady and invites us to be still—right where we are.
Today we’re going to slow down together with one of the most beloved verses in all of Scripture: “For everything there is a season.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
There are seasons in life we welcome with open arms—births, beginnings, planting, building. And then there are seasons we would rather skip—endings, letting go, watching time pass.
In this episode, Lisa reflects on the wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3 alongside Katrina Kenison’s memoir The Gift of an Ordinary Day. Together, they offer a gentle invitation for anyone navigating midlife, motherhood, relocation, identity shifts, or the quiet ache of change.
What do we do when a chapter closes?
How do we make peace with what was while stepping into what is becoming?
How does God hold us steady when everything feels like it’s moving?
In this episode we explore how to:
Bear witness instead of trying to control
Embrace slowness instead of striving
Release nostalgia without losing gratitude
Root identity in being a beloved daughter of God—not in roles or seasons
God does not steady us by freezing time. He steadies us by being present in every season.
Journaling Questions
What season am I resisting right now—and why?
Where might God be inviting me to bear witness instead of control?
What “ending” do I need to bless so that I can step more freely into what is beginning?
Key Scripture
Ecclesiastes 3:1. For everything there is a season.

June 08Episode 2: When You Can’t Fix It: Letting God Fight for You
Exodus 14:14 + He Leadeth Me by Walter J. Ciszek, S.J.
In a world that rarely slows down, God invites us to be still. In this first season of Be Still: A Walking with Purpose Podcast, Lisa Brenninkmeyer explores six Scriptures that teach us how to stop striving, quiet our hearts, and trust Him in the middle of real life. Through the wisdom of the Bible and the companionship of great books, we’ll discover how God gently holds us steady and invites us to be still—right where we are.
Today we’re going to slow down together with one of the most beloved verses in all of Scripture: “The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be still” (Exodus 14:14).
What do you do when you can’t fix it?
When a relationship is strained.
When someone you love is struggling.
When a diagnosis, injustice, or uncertainty feels unbearable.
In this episode, Lisa reflects on He Leadeth Me by Father Walter J. Ciszek, S.J., and the powerful promise of Exodus 14:14.
Standing at the edge of the Red Sea, the Israelites faced what felt impossible. Behind them: Pharaoh’s army. Before them: the sea. No way forward. No way back.
And into that panic, God gave a command that feels just as counterintuitive today: Be still.
In this episode, we explore:
Why our instinct is to control when we feel afraid
The hidden pride beneath our striving
The “if only” spiral that keeps us stuck in regret
How surrender is not passivity, but trust
What Father Ciszek discovered about freedom in the midst of suffering
Sometimes God does not part the sea immediately. Sometimes He asks us to trust Him inside it.
This episode is an invitation to release what was never yours to carry—and to believe that the Lord is fighting for you, even when you cannot see Him moving.
Journaling Questions
Name your Red Sea.
Where in your life do you feel trapped—with something threatening behind you and something impossible in front of you? What fear is driving your urge to control?
Consider your grip.
Is there a plan or outcome you are holding tightly? What would “being still” look like there?
Key Scripture
Exodus 14:14. The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be still.

June 01Episode 1: When the World Won’t Slow Down: Learning to Stand Still
Psalm 46 + Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry
In a world that rarely slows down, God invites us to be still. In this first season of Be Still: A Walking with Purpose Podcast, Lisa Brenninkmeyer explores six Scriptures that teach us how to stop striving, quiet our hearts, and trust Him in the middle of real life. Through the wisdom of the Bible and the companionship of great books, we’ll discover how God gently holds us steady and invites us to be still—right where we are.
Today we’re going to slow down together with one of the most beloved verses in all of Scripture: “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)
We often picture this verse as soft and peaceful—but Psalm 46 was written in the middle of chaos. Mountains fall. Waters roar. Nations rage. And right there, God says: Be still.
Stillness isn’t the absence of trouble. It’s the decision to trust God in the middle of it.
In this episode, Lisa reflects on Psalm 46 alongside Wendell Berry’s novel Hannah Coulter, a quiet story about one woman’s faithful life of loving her family, tending her home, and staying rooted in one place. Together, Scripture and story remind us that holiness is often hidden in the ordinary.
You don’t have to hold the world together.
You don’t have to chase a bigger life.
God is already present in the one you’ve been given.
In this episode, we explore:
What “be still” really means in Hebrew (stop striving, release your grip)
Why stillness is trust, not passivity
Wendell Berry’s vision of “membership” and belonging
The sacredness of ordinary, everyday faithfulness
How Mary at Jesus’ feet (Luke 10) models the same posture of presence
Journaling Questions
Where in my life am I striving or gripping tightly — and how might God be inviting me to release control and trust Him instead?
What ordinary people or places has God already entrusted to me that I’m being called to love more faithfully this week?
Key Scripture
Psalm 46:10. Be still, and know that I am God.

May 18 Introducing Be Still: A Walking with Purpose Podcast
Welcome to Be Still: A Walking with Purpose Podcast. Walking with Purpose is a Catholic women’s apostolate helping women personally know Christ through Scripture. I’m Lisa Brenninkmeyer, and each week I’ll open the Bible with you and unpack God’s Word in a way that speaks to your real, everyday life.
Scripture will always be our foundation. And because God often uses story to awaken our hearts, I’ll also draw from great books that have deepened my own faith. As my family steps into a new season of owning a beloved local bookstore in Camden, Maine, I’ll be weaving reflections from novels, memoirs, and spiritual classics into our time together.
Life can feel noisy and demanding and it’s easy to rush past the voice of God. This podcast is an invitation to slow down and be still long enough to hear Him. Together, we’ll look honestly at our struggles and hopes, and discover how God meets us right where we are. Whether you’re driving, walking, or folding laundry, this time is for you and the Lord.
