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. 

What are you living for? Approval? Success? Power? This week, Jesus reveals something terrifying in the Gospel: all of those things are waging a battle for your heart. Today, Jack asks a powerful question that will direct the course of the battle, and the outcome all depends on one decision. What will you choose? 

Challenge. Adversity. Hardship. 

What do you do in the face of these? Do you take them head on, or do they overtake you? Jesus only gives one option. Endurance. Today, listen to Allen recount an inspiring story about one famous man’s story of endurance and discover how incredible things will happen in your life when you persist.

Have you ever spent time with someone who didn’t have your best interests at heart? This Sunday, Jesus encounters some people with bad intentions. Their attempted trick raises questions– about Jesus, about this Gospel encounter, and about ourselves. Watch Matthew’s reflection to get this list of hard questions that will help you grow in faith. 

Do you believe in miracles? Because today’s Gospel is one. It’s the miracle of one man living without hope who has a life-changing encounter. Listen to Allen’s reflection to discover the simple, powerful thing that changed this man’s life–and will change yours.

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. 

Watch Matthew’s reflection to hear the life-changing truth!

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.

What kind of person do you want to be at the end of your life? Oftentimes we push progress off to the future, but life’s too short to waste any time not becoming who you were made to become. God wants to see you become the-best-version-of-yourself, and today, Jack shows us how one choice can transform us into the person God made us to be.

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.
