    Ep. 83 | You Are Entertaining Your Mind to Death

    What is constant entertainment doing to your soul? In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on the spiritual danger of always seeking distraction and how it can quietly weaken our ability to think clearly, choose wisely, and listen to God. Drawing on the story of Herod and the deadly power of spectacle, he shows how a life filled with noise can dull the conscience and make us vulnerable to temptation. A meditation on guarding the mind, recovering silence, and learning again how to live with wisdom in a world that never stops scrolling. 🔴 THIS SERIES Meditations | Ep. 82 Meditations is a weekly podcast with Fr Gavan Jennings produced by Called to More.

    Ep. 82 | How to Help a Hopeless World

    What does Jesus mean when He says, “You are the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world”? In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on how ordinary Christians are called to bring preservation and meaning to everyday life through their example — at school, at work, at home, and among friends. He also reflects on the power of a single word of faith spoken at the right moment: a light offered to someone in darkness. A meditation on living with quiet courage, speaking with charity, and asking Jesus to make us salt and light in the world. 🔴 THIS SERIES Meditations | Ep. 82 Meditations is a weekly podcast with Fr Gavan Jennings produced by Called to More.

    Ep. 81 | Strength That Overcomes the World

    What does it really mean to be strong? In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on the virtue of fortitude and the quiet strength needed to endure the trials of ordinary life. True strength is not about impressing others or relying on enthusiasm alone, but about remaining faithful through what is difficult, boring, or disappointing. Drawing on the hidden life of Jesus and the steady example of Our Lady and Saint Joseph, this reflection invites us to grow in an inner strength that allows God to work through us. A meditation on maturity, perseverance, and asking God for the grace to become truly strong. 🔴 THIS SERIES Meditations | Ep. 81 Meditations is a weekly podcast with Fr Gavan Jennings produced by Called to More.

    Ep. 80 | The Spiritual Danger of Distraction

    Are you finding it harder to be present with God? In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on the subtle spiritual danger of distraction and how easily our attention can be pulled away from what truly matters. What begins as harmless curiosity can quietly fragment our time, our prayer, and our capacity to listen. Drawing on Scripture and the call to say “Here I am, Lord” in each moment, this reflection invites us to examine how we use our attention and how learning to be present transforms ordinary time into an offering to God. 🔴 THIS SERIES Meditations | Ep. 80 Meditations is a weekly podcast with Fr Gavan Jennings produced by Called to More.

    Ep. 79 | Building Friendships That Last

    In this compilation episode, Fr Gavan reflects on the nature of true friendship and the quiet ways it shapes the soul. Drawing on both human wisdom and Christian faith, he invites us to consider friendship not as something accidental or based on feeling alone, but as a calling rooted in virtue, patience, and love of the good. Through these reflections, we are encouraged to examine how we relate to others, how friendship forms us over time, and how faithful relationships can gently lead us closer to God. A meditation on choosing well, loving steadily, and allowing friendship to become a school of charity. 🔴 THIS SERIES Meditations | Ep. 79 Meditations is a weekly podcast with Fr Gavan Jennings produced by Called to More.

    Ep. 78 | Christmas Is Too Big for One Day

    It’s easy to feel that Christmas has already passed us by — but the Church insists otherwise. In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects on the Christmas Octave and the wisdom of lingering with a mystery too large for a single day. Drawing on Our Lady’s quiet pondering of the events of Bethlehem, he invites us to let the visible beauty of Christmas lift us toward the invisible love of God Himself. As decorations fade and routines return, this reflection encourages us not to rush past Christmas, but to stay with it long enough for it to truly change us. 🔴 THIS SERIES Meditations | Ep. 78 Meditations is a weekly podcast with Fr Gavan Jennings produced by Called to More.

    Ep. 77 | You Were Loved Into Existence

    Because the Father gave us His Son, everything about who we are is changed. In this meditation, Fr Gavan reflects with St John the Evangelist on the astonishing truth that we are not merely called children of God — we truly are. Knowing that we are loved by the Father before we do anything transforms how we live, what we desire, and where we seek fulfilment. This reflection invites us to rediscover our deepest identity and to remember that we are born not for passing pleasures, but for nothing less than God Himself. 🔴 THIS SERIES Meditations | Ep. 77 Meditations is a weekly podcast with Fr Gavan Jennings produced by Called to More.

    Ep. 76 | Why Christmas Is Not Sentimental

    Christmas brings us face to face with tenderness, beauty, and joy — and then, almost without warning, the Church places before us the martyrdom of St Stephen. In this meditation, Fr Gavn reflects on why the Church does this so deliberately: to remind us that the Child in the manger and the man on the Cross are one and the same. Stephen shows us that real love is never sentimental, but always costs something, and that following Christ means learning to imitate what we worship. This reflection invites us to let our Christmas joy be purified and deepened into a love willing to give itself completely. 🔴 THIS SERIES Meditations | Ep. 76 Meditations is a weekly podcast with Fr Gavan Jennings produced by Called to More.
