    The Gospel of Being Misunderstood

    What do we do when we are misunderstood? In this video, I talk about the ache of being misread, the temptation to become false, and the strange mercy of learning to be seen by God instead of constantly seeking the approval of every room. The Gospel does not promise that everyone will understand your heart. It promises that God already does. Support My Patreon! Buy a Zine!

    What Is Catholic Mysticism? The Church’s Hidden Fire

    Support the Patreon! Buy a Zine! A new series exploring Catholic mysticism through the words and phrases that show up again and again in the mystical tradition: union with God, the dark night, meditation, contemplation, the wound of love, and more. But before we can talk about any of those, we have to start with the most obvious and maybe most misunderstood word of all: Mysticism. In this episode, we talk about what Catholic mysticism is, what it is not, why it is not just spiritual fireworks, and how the mystical life is really about being transformed by God’s presence into deeper love of God and neighbor.

    Mass Prep | Lose Your Life Like You Mean It (Matthew 10:37–42)

    In this Mass Prep for Matthew 10:37–42, we reflect on what it means to put Christ first, take up the cross, and trust that even the smallest hidden act of love is seen by God. Jesus is not calling us to love less, but to love in the right order. He is not asking for empty suffering, but for the cross that leads to freedom. And He reminds us that even a cup of cold water given in love will not be forgotten.

    God or My Mind? How to Discern Spiritual Experiences

    Support my Patreon! Buy a Zine! How do you know if something is from God, your own mind, or even the devil? In this episode, we talk about spiritual discernment through the wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola, especially when it comes to dreams, consolations, inner words, coincidences, and strange little moments in prayer. Catholic discernment is not about overthinking every grace or becoming spiritually paranoid. It is about receiving what leads us toward God, testing the fruit, and staying rooted in Christ, the sacraments, and the wisdom of the Church. We’ll discuss Ignatian discernment, consolation and desolation, spiritual experiences, and how to avoid both rationalizing grace away and clinging too tightly to spiritual feelings.
