    Death is Closer Than We Think

    The death of Joel Jijo has affected all of us in powerful ways. His life was a true witness to the faith, which leaves us all wondering why God would take him so soon in such a tragic way. In this podcast, we reflect on the Christian meaning of death and how death is so much closer than we think, which should shape how we live our lives. In other words, death should increase our drive to become saints in heaven.  ------------------------------------------    ➥ Check out our Shop: https://www.syrocreatives.com/   ➥ Check out our Blog: https://www.scbreathetogether.com/    ------------------------------------------   ➥Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/syrocreatives/  ➥ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/syrocreatives/   ➥ TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMe5KmbmD/    ------------------------------------------

    Let Go, Open Your Hands!

    The spirituality of abandonment has been really important to all of us, and SyroCreatives as a whole. Every day is a new opportunity to surrender everything to the Father. We open up our hands to Him, in order to receive good things. We let go of what we were holding onto to live in true freedom. This “open hands” spirituality rests on believing that God truly loves us, and holds all things in His Hands.    ------------------------------------------   ➥ Check out our Shop: https://www.syrocreatives.com/  ➥ Check out our Blog: https://www.scbreathetogether.com/   ------------------------------------------  ➥Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/syrocreatives/  ➥ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/syrocreatives/  ➥ TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMe5KmbmD/    ------------------------------------------

    Dangerous Catholicism

    Aby, Josh, Suraj, and Father Rajeev discuss the problems of “Cultural Catholicism.” We live in a faith community, we pray our rosary, we go to Mass or Qurbana on Sunday’s, but it becomes a serious question to ask why we do all these things. Has the faith simply become a part of the background of our life? Or is it touching the deepest parts of our human hearts, and shaping our lives?   ------------------------------------------   ➥ Check out our Shop: https://www.syrocreatives.com/   ➥ Check out our Blog: https://www.scbreathetogether.com/  ------------------------------------------   ➥ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/syrocreatives/ ➥ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/syrocreatives/ ➥ TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMe5KmbmD/    ------------------------------------------

    The Resurrection. Why Does it Even Matter?

    Every year we Christians celebrate Easter. We even prepare with a fast and celebrate with a grand feast. However, sometimes we may see the Resurrection as the Christian version of the numerous legends across cultures. Do we ever stop to think about the fact that Jesus rose from the Dead at an actual moment in history? Do we stop to think about what that does to our lives today and our lives to come?   ------------------------------------------   Link to Catechism of the Catholic Church on the Resurrection: ➥https://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p122a5p2.htm   Link to Learn More about the Resurrection: ➥https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qhQRMhUK1o   Link to Bishop Barron Article on Resurrection: ➥https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/the-disturbing-fact-of-the-resurrection/   Link to Resurrection Icon: ➥https://tinyurl.com/36k9v4pj   ------------------------------------------   ➥ Check out our Shop: https://www.syrocreatives.com/   ➥ Check out our Blog: https://www.scbreathetogether.com/   ------------------------------------------   ➥ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/syrocreatives/  ➥ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/syrocreatives/  ➥ TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMe5KmbmD/    ------------------------------------------

    I am a Sinner

    Josh, Aby, and Suraj reflect on becoming more awake to our sinfulness this Lent. Some funny stories are shared about living in the Saint Joseph Household that helped them realize they’re all sinners, and in need of mercy. It’s only when we recognize we’re sinners that we can invite God in to bring healing and mercy

    Our Journey to NorCal

    In this episode with Josh, Aby, Fr. Rajeev, and Suraj, we talk about how we all ended up in NorCal. We talk about our inspirations to make such a move, the roller coaster of events that led to it happening, and lessons learned so far. We hope our story inspires you all to consider a Christ-Centered communal lifestyle.

    Who is St.Thomas?

    Nazranis claim to have St. Thomas as their father in faith, but we hardly take the time to get to know him. We all have a caricature of who Thomas is, but we don’t really know his character. Suraj joins us as we dive into the parts of the Gospel where Thomas is mentioned. By the end of the episode, we all felt closer to St. Thomas, and our devotion to him increased. He truly is a model of faith for Nazranis to follow. We hope you learn something about our father in faith in this little Bible study!   Pope Benedict Article http://www.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/audiences/2006/documents/hf_ben-xvi_aud_20060927.html     Heres the link to our website: https://www.syrocreatives.com   Check out our social media pages below: https://linktr.ee/syrocreatives

    You Belong to the Church

    We all have our own perceptions of what it means to be a part of the Catholic Church. There are particular images that come to our minds when we hear the word “church.” Some might be good, and some might be bad. Aby and Josh reflect on the two central images that the  Catholic Church claims to be: the Body of Christ, and the Bride of Christ. This is a core aspect of understanding who we are as Nazranis.
