- Episode 93: Be Watchful! Be Alert!
On this First Sunday of Advent the readings invite us to vigilance. Rather than being hypervigilant, though, what if Jesus' invitation to "Wait" and to "Be Alert" is really an invitation to pray? Perhaps this Advent we can take some time to find the Lord where he comes everyday: in the silence and stillness of our hearts.

22 min - Episode 91: The Fear of the Lord
What does it mean to fear the Lord? When we evangelize, do we have reckless abandon? Or, are we just playing it safe?

22 min - Episode 89: All the Saints in Heavenly Glory
Though it is right to imitate the saints in their earthly example, narrated in their biographies and journals, it is also necessary (and perhaps more urgent) to imitate them in their current activity. The saints, right now, in heaven, are resting in the Lord. What does it mean to rest well? Rather than focusing this All Saints Day on how much more work we need to do to bring about the Kingdom, perhaps we would do well to imitate the saints in Glory who have found their eternal rest.

22 min - Episode 86: The Banquet Feast
Moving away from the vineyard, our readings consider the image of a banquet feast. The guys struggle to boil the gospel down to a coherent message. In the end, the find solace in the second reading and the Alleluia verse ... not surprisingly.

22 min - Episode 85: Tear Down the Walls
The vineyard theme continues for a third week in a row...
The guys consider the kinds of "walls" we have built up around our hearts, and how God may be tearing them down to allow us to be completely dependent on him.
They also muse on how to best prepare their homilies, navigating the tension between writing their homilies on the one hand, and going completely off-the-cuff on the other. It may be that David and Jonathan have their preferences...

21 min - Episode 84: Have the Mind of Christ
The vineyard theme continues this week in the parable of the two sons who are sent to work by their father. What is on full display, though, is not their actions or intentions, but the change of mind that accompanies a true conversion. In the end, the only antidote to ideology is to have a change of mind, and to be conformed to Christ.
