Listen as Jenn and Matt Lozano sit down to unpack a powerful homily by Fr. Mike Schmitz on “Nunc Coepi”, Latin for “Now I Begin.”  Together, they explore what it means to begin again as followers of Christ, even after failure, discouragement, or doubt.

Jenn and Matt share candid stories from their own lives, from breakfast table reflections to lessons learned through Unbound Ministry, and discuss how lies we believe about ourselves and about God can quietly shape our hearts. 

Drawing on Father Mike’s insights, they talk about resilience, repentance as a change of mind, and the transforming power of invoking Jesus’ name in prayer.

Together Matt and Jenn examine the power of renunciation in beginning again! Renunciation is an act of the will, done in the name of Jesus, identifying with His work on the cross. “When you’re praying, invoke the name of Jesus,”  Matt says. “Experience its power.” In that moment, we “Nunc Coepi.” We begin again.

Whether you’re in a season of renewal or wrestling with starting over, this episode is an encouraging reminder that God’s mercy is new every morning, and that we can always say, “Now I begin.”
