Can I Getta Amen

Advent is a good time to slow down a little, and St. Joseph the Workman shows us what it looks like to stay steady and trust God in the middle of everyday life.

In Week Two of A Quiet Light, we focus on St. Joseph the Workman and pray with Matthew 11:28–30—Jesus’ reminder that we don’t have to carry everything alone. Joseph lived this in a very real way. The word we’re sitting with this week? ✨ Rest. The kind of rest that comes from putting things back in God’s hands.

Our invitation this week is simple: let your daily work become a place to talk to God. Whether you’re doing chores, driving, or checking things off your list, bring Him into it. Let Him lighten the load.

Don’t miss the Cutting Room Floor at the end for some extra stories and moments we couldn’t fit into the episode.

Welcome to Week One of A Quiet Light, our Advent journey with Saint Joseph from Advent to Epiphany. If you missed the introduction episode, go back and give it a listen — it sets the tone for everything we’re walking through together.

This week, we’re sitting with the title Saint Joseph, Most Faithful and praying with Psalm 122:1–9, the psalm Joseph himself would've prayed and carried in his heart. The word that stands out this week? Peace.
Peace in a season that often feels anything but peaceful.

In the episode, we talk about:
 • How Saint Joseph lived a simple, steady rhythm of prayer — not to check a box, but to stay rooted in God all day long.
 • How his quiet faithfulness invites us into deeper spiritual discipline, not perfection.
 • The power of posture and praying with our whole body — kneeling, lighting a candle, creating sacred space.
 • How the artwork for this week reflects Joseph’s urgency to pray and his readiness to respond to God.
 • What it means to become “expectant” with hope — not just for Mary, but for Joseph as a father preparing his heart for Jesus.

Your challenge for Week One:
Choose one small resolution that brings more light and intention into your prayer this week.
Maybe it’s five extra minutes using Lectio Divina with Scripture, kneeling beside your bed, or praying with a candle lit — one quiet step toward faithfulness.

Tune in, pray with us, and let this Advent begin gently, quietly, faithfully.

 Let's Go Be the Light.

It's one week until Advent, we’re kicking off this journey with Saint Joseph — the quiet and steady light we didn’t know we were aching for. After a year of leaning on our spiritual mamas, the Lord kept tugging our hearts in 2025 toward this good and holy father.

We’re sharing how Saint Joseph has been showing up for us, why his strength and tenderness matter right now, and how walking with his titles for six weeks — all the way through Christmas and into Epiphany — can help you slow down, breathe, and pray a little deeper this season. We hope you will join us!

It's not too late to grab your Quiet Light Devotional to follow along and join us in the saerch for peace. Visit Acadian Religious to grab yours in person or order online at www.wearethelightproject.org.

We’re bringing you another episode of Trailer Park Theology this week...what can we say, we’ve got more to share. Just a heads up: after this episode and starting 2026, we’ll be launching a brand-new feed just for Trailer Parked Theology, so make sure to follow along! ✨

This week, Josh and Kristi are talking seasons: church seasons, life seasons, and all the in-between ones.

Josh talks about what it’s like prepping for a big talk (and stressing yourself out for no good reason), how Advent is way deeper than we usually treat it, and why God’s way more interested in your heart than your perfect notes. And yes… a Delilah impression may or may not have made its way in. 😂

If you need a reminder that there really is a time for everything, this one’s for you.
Come hang out with us.

Flashback to Episode 79 💛

The late Yvonne Bienvenu joined us in 2021 for one of our most authentic conversations to date! A self-proclaimed “walking conundrum,” Yvonne’s deep faith carried her through her battle with cancer as she sought both heavenly peace and an earthly miracle for her kids.

She felt called to be a bridge—helping others live united and undistracted. Though she has since gone home to the Lord, Yvonne’s courage still inspires us. Cancer never defined her...faith did. ✨

🙏🏼 Join us in remembering and praying for Yvonne’s precious family.

Flashback Episode (Originally aired April 2023)

This episode is shared in loving memory of Kalix James Broussard. ✝️

We chose to bring this one back because there’s just something about it — more goosies, more grace, and more of that unmistakable movement of the Holy Spirit that we all need to hear again.

When Paul Whittington and Bubba Broussard joined us in Holy Spirit Studios, we found ourselves swept up in a conversation full of love, loss, truth, and the kind of heart conversion that only God can orchestrate.

It’s a story of friendship, faith, and the healing that comes when we hand our hearts completely to Him.

So join us as we revisit this powerful reminder that even through unimaginable pain, God’s mercy and love never stop writing the story.

In this episode, we’re talking about holy beginnings...how God invites us to grow quietly beneath the surface, especially in seasons that look like loss. Inspired by fall’s changing beauty, we reflect on what it means to let go, trust the hidden work of God, and embrace transformation with humility.

We explore how the Holy Spirit meets us in the small, unseen moments...like rocking-chair mornings, backyard prayers, and even volleyball talks with our kids.

We also get real about parenting through shifting seasons (hello, teenage independence), pride disguised as productivity, and learning to “waste time with God.”

Our hope is that this conversation will help you pause, notice the sacred in your everyday, and chase new beginnings.

They will be like a tree planted by the water; its leaves are always green.” Jeremiah 17:8

We’re taking it back to Abide Conference 2024 with a never-before-heard episode featuring one of our favorites — Fr. Blake Dubroc! 

This conversation is overflowing with laughter, tenderness, and truth as Fr. Blake shares about spiritual fatherhood and how being surrounded by women of faith draws out a deeper sense of delight rooted in the Father’s heart. 

This episode captures the beauty of gentleness, healing, and the way God meets us right where we are — in our need, in our joy, and in our longing to be seen and loved.

If you’ve ever needed a reminder that the Father delights in you, this one’s for you. 💛
