5th Sunday of Lent | John 8:1-11

True discernment requires holy indifference—the freedom to choose what is most aligned with God’s will. Without this interior freedom, our decisions are swayed by attachments, fears, and personal desires rather than love and truth.

In this episode, we explore:

• Ignatian Indifference: Not apathy, but the ability to choose freely without personal bias.

• The Sailboat Analogy: Adjusting our sails to follow God’s wind rather than resisting it.

• The Gospel Reflection: The Pharisees, bound by their judgments, lacked the freedom to truly discern; Jesus, full of love, shows the way.

• Personal Story: A boundary set in a friendship to regain the freedom to discern life’s next steps.

• Love and Sacrifice: True love is marked by holy indifference, seeking the greater good over personal preference.

  Journal Questions:

1. Where in my life am I struggling to be truly free in my discernment?

2. How do my attachments, fears, or desires influence my decisions?

3. What would it look like to adjust my sails and trust God’s wind more fully?

Listen in for insights on how to cultivate the interior freedom necessary for authentic discernment and deeper love.
