    Ep 17: Beauty Over Efficiency – Slowing Down to Make Space for God

    In a culture obsessed with speed and productivity, we often miss what matters most. Inspired by The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, this episode is a call to rewire our minds—not for efficiency, but for beauty, presence, and communion with God. I share a conversation I had with a teen in my discipleship group who’s always trying to speed up life to fit more in, and how that mentality can rob us of the sacred. Through Scripture and reflection, I explore how slowing down can actually give us more time—not just to do, but to be with God and others.

    Ep 16: Faith Over Fear – Trusting the Narrow Path

    Choosing faith often means going against the grain. In this episode, I talk about what it means to live with trust—even when the narrow path looks reckless or different from what the world expects. When we choose faith over fear, we’re not avoiding risk—we’re choosing to believe that God is who He says He is and that His plan is worth following, even when it’s hard to see.

    Ep 15: Reverence and Hospitality – Seeking the True Good

    How do we balance creating a welcoming space with maintaining reverence for the sacred? In this episode, I explore why we must always seek the true good over the perceived good—and why we should never compromise truth to appear a certain way. From how churches approach clothing, music, and openness, I reflect on the importance of authentic hospitality that points people toward God, without sacrificing the reverence He is due.

    Ep 14: You Are What You Consume

    In this episode, I reflect on how the media, music, entertainment, and even the people we surround ourselves with shape who we are—and more importantly, how they affect our relationship with God. I talk about my own journey of becoming more aware of these influences and share practical ways to grow: building better habits, being intentional with your time, and sometimes even letting go of things you enjoy for the sake of something greater. Holiness often begins with what we allow into our hearts and minds.

    Ep 13: Learning Simplicity with St. Francis

    Inspired by my patron, St. Francis of Assisi, this episode is all about the pursuit of simplicity. I share how his example is challenging me to live with less—clearing out my closet, switching to a dumb phone, and cutting back on screen time. In a world full of noise and excess, simplicity is a way to make more room for God and for family. It’s not just about minimalism—it’s about freedom to love more fully.

    Ep 11: God’s Will Is Not That Complicated

    Too often, we treat God’s will like a puzzle we’re supposed to solve—but it’s not meant to be that complicated. In this episode, I talk about the importance of trust: how seeing God’s faithfulness in the past helps us surrender when life doesn’t go according to plan. I also reflect on He Leadeth Me by Fr. Walter Ciszek, and his powerful message of accepting each day as coming directly from God’s hand. When we live with trust, we stop striving for control and start living in God’s peace.

    Ep 10: My Sheep Hear My Voice – The Unchanging God of Scripture

    A conversation with my wife about the prophet Hosea led us into a deeper reflection on how we come to know God through Scripture. In this episode, I explore how God’s commands—though different across time—always aim to set His people free to worship. From sacrifices in the Old Testament to mercy in the Gospels, it’s the same God, speaking with the same voice of love.
