Have you ever realized you were doing the right thing . . . for the wrong reason? In these moments, we end up looking a lot like the Pharisees – like pretenders. In today’s video, Matthew reflects upon the Gospel’s difficult challenge of constant conversion, and offers a hopeful reminder that will inspire you to truly turn back to God again and again.

How hopeful are you? It’s a difficult question. In a world drowning in fear and anxiety, it can be easy to get swept up in the panic of today’s culture. But as Christians, we have something greater than fear. Today, Allen gives a beautiful reflection on what hope really means and how you can increase hope in your daily life.

Have you gotten stuck in the wrong paradigm? It’s time to find your way out. 

God’s will for your life is clear. Are you ready to discover it? 

How often do you compare yourself to others? We all do it. In ways big and small, subtle and not-so-subtle. 

Today, Jesus provides a warning about the destruction comparison can bring to our lives. Thankfully, he also provides the solution. 

Do you dream of doing amazing things with your life? Well, great things don't happen overnight. Building a strong family, doing meaningful work, thriving spiritually...they all require one thing: persistence. Today, Allen reflects on one of Jesus' great parables that reveals how you can grow in persistence and elevate every area of your life.

Which kind of leper are you? It’s time to find out. 

The best flavor combination the Gospel has to offer: a little bit of sweet, a little bit of salty. Sometimes we can look at parts of the Gospel and think, “That sounds hard—I don’t like what that means.” And you’re not alone in that. But today, Allen makes a surprising comparison between the Gospel and a Reese’s cup to show us how the salty parts of the Gospel can make its message that much sweeter. 

Today’s Gospel is meant to send a shiver down your spine. If it doesn’t, you’ve missed the point.

Watch Matthew’s reflection and discover how you can embrace one of Jesus’ most uncomfortable lessons and live a life of powerful goodness. 

You will be pushed beyond your comfort zone, but you’ll never regret it.

What’s green, powerful, and can easily detach you from Jesus? Hint: Jesus talks a lot about it in the Gospels. 

This week, Jesus asks his most important question about something none of us like to talk about: money. Listen to Allen’s reflection on the role money plays in our lives and how we can let Jesus recapture our hearts.
