  • 30 Days of Daily Mass Changed What I Noticed
    What changed after 30 straight days of Daily Mass? More than I expected.
    For one month, I attended Mass every day and shared short reflections on three things: what stood out in Scripture, what I experienced in receiving the Eucharist, and what happened between one Mass and the next.
    In this episode, I look back on the full journey—from visiting more than 10 churches and hearing different priests, to wrestling with distraction and hurriedness, to recognizing how consistent time with God began reshaping my gratitude, spiritual identity, trust, and attentiveness to the Holy Spirit.
    The biggest lesson was simple: consistency was not really the point. Availability was.
    If you’re new to the challenge, you can watch the entire Daily Mass journey here on the channel, from Day 1 through Day 30.
    And your next step does not have to be Daily Mass. It may be one additional Mass each week, time in Adoration, Scripture in the morning, or another consistent practice that helps you draw closer to God.

  • Thinking As God Does - Reflection on Matthew 16: 21-25
    What if something you believe is good, reasonable, and even holy…is completely wrong?
    In Matthew 16:21–25, Peter believes he is defending Jesus. Instead, Jesus gives him a stunning correction: “You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.”
    We face the same temptation. It is easy to trust God when His will agrees with ours. But what happens when Scripture or the teaching of the Church challenges what we believe, want, or think makes sense?
    The question isn't simply, "Am I right?”
    It's “Am I humble enough to let God correct me?”
