Episode 249 - Jesus's Favorite Things: Repentance, Series on Jesus's Favorite Things (Part 4)

What does repentance truly look like?

A good way to look at repentance is that it brings us back to love. It's one of Jesus's favorite things because he sees our hearts and desires change so that we do not live sinfully anymore.

Repentance is not just about wanting to change our behaviors, it's about wanting to change because we love God, it's being sorry because we love God and that we don't want to live our old lives with sin because we love God. We repent because we love God and we want to be with him. 

In this episode, we'll dive deep into what the true meaning of repentance looks like and learn why it's one of Jesus's favorite things.

Episode 248 - Jesus's Favorite Things: Quality Time, Series on Jesus's Favorite Things (Part 3)

Do you also spend quality time with Jesus?

We believe part of Jesus's favorite thing is to be with us. He desires to be with us and wants to spend time with us. He chooses people to be with Him as He's with His Father.

Jesus has given himself to us in the most holy Eucharist. It's a true testament that He chooses to give himself, his love and that he desires to spend quality time with us and a way in which we can love Him is by receiving him, coming to him, and spending quality time with Him in prayer.

In this episode, we'll talk about another part of Jesus's favorite things, quality time, and how we can be renewed on receiving Jesus's presence in our lives and desire to spend time with Him.

Episode 247 - Jesus's Favorite Things: Lowliness, Series on Jesus's Favorite Things (Part 2)

What does lowliness mean to you and to God?

The experience of lowliness can sometimes be what we dislike about ourselves. These are times when we're not doing great, or when we're not rich or not attractive—these are usually the parts that we reject about ourselves. 

But part of the mystery is that in this lowliness is where God mostly manifests His love for us and where he reveals His heart for us and Jesus embodies this kind of lowliness.

In this episode, we're gonna talk about Jesus's next favorite thing which is lowliness, and how we can have a different meaning to our lowliness.

Episode 246 - Jesus's Favorite Things: The Father, Series on Jesus's Favorite Things (Part 1)

Have you ever wondered how Jesus experienced The Father?

What was it like for Him to be in His Father's presence in the temple? What was it like to offer himself and suffer for the Father? What was it like for Him as he loved the Father with his every being?

The Father was the center of everything for Jesus—He is most likely His most favorite thing, His most favorite person. Jesus deeply desires to actually give us a share of His Father's heart. Ultimately, we are invited to have Jesus's favorite things be our own favorite things. 

In this episode, we're gonna dive into the depth of Jesus's love, offering and suffering by leaning into his experiences with the Father and see how we can grow in relationship with The Father too.

Episode 245 - Jubilee Year

Where is your focus set on this new year, 2025?

This year we begin a jubilee year in the church. It is a consecrated time, a special year to stop and take a step back—it's a year of rest to reset while inviting the Lord into it. It is also a year to make a breakthrough or a major shift in our lives with an invitation to a greater intensity of prayer and hope. 

In this episode, we're going to talk about the principles of the jubilee year and how they can be a good starting point to focus on as we go into this new year.

Episode 244 - Merry Christmas

What does Christmas offer to the reality of our lives?

The reality of holidays and people's lives is not always as happy or merry as we've hoped. But amidst all that, the invitation is to be with Jesus and go through whatever the reality of Christmas is with Him.

The Lord desires to be born even in the mess of our lives or our hearts and during Christmas, we are invited to come closer to Jesus. This is why Christmas can be a good source of grace and connection-it's a reason for hope in the darkness.

In this episode, we dive a little bit deeper into the reality of Christmas.
