A few days ago, I wrote and recorded this Pentecost reflection while the first whispers of ICE raids and National Guard deployment were beginning to stir in Los Angeles.

Now the streets are louder.

More families have been taken.More protests have risen.And the silence from many churches has become deafening.

In this episode, I return to a moment of baseball, of joy and song, to ask what Pentecost really means in a time like this. I reflect on what it means for the Spirit to speak in every language—and for the Church to listen, translate, and respond with love made flesh.

This is not a political rant.It is a plea for faith that still believes in sanctuary.A meditation for those who feel powerless but not voiceless.A call for a Church that remembers Pentecost was never about control, but courage.

Come, Holy Spirit.And may we have ears to hear.
