Praying Scripture Slowly - Lectio Divina in the Classroom and Inner Life

What if Scripture was more than something we teach? What if it became a way we pray, listen, and are transformed? In today's episode, we explore Lectio Divina as a contemplative practice: one that slows us down, deepens our inner life, and helps students encounter Scripture as living prayer rather than mere content. We unpack the movements of Lectio, explore practical classroom approaches including SOAP Journaling, and reflect on why praying with Scripture may be one of the most important spiritual practices teachers can reclaim in a distracted and noisy world.

The Holy Trinity - Riddle to Explain, or Reality to Experience?

For many students (and teachers too!) the Trinity can feel like an impossible equation: three persons, one God, somehow all at once. But what if the Trinity was never meant to be solved like a riddle? What if being made in the image of a relational God changes how we understand community, belonging, justice, compassion, and even the words of Jesus: “Love your neighbour as yourself”? In this episode we explore the Trinity not primarily as a mathematical puzzle, but as a mystery of relationship, communion, and love. Drawing on Scripture, the Athanasian Creed, and the Catholic tradition, this conversation opens up the Trinity as a way of understanding God, humanity, and the interconnectedness of all things. We look to give teachers practical ways to talk about Trinity with students beyond formulas and analogies to helping young people in all year levels move from simply learning about God to encountering the divine reality at the heart of existence itself.

How do these special moments mark the life of our Catholic School communities and the people who make it up? Join us for this episode where we unpack these important place markers in Church History and discuss ways we can celebrate them with relevance and meaning.

Eastertide - The meaning behind the season of Resurrection Life

The Deeper Easter Story - What is the Easter Triduum and what does it teach us about the pattern of life?

The Easter Triduum is a series of three liturgies in the Easter story from Holy Week, through Good Friday, to the Easter Vigil on Sunday morning. In this episode, we walk through what happens in these liturgies looking closely at how they are connected. Not only do we discover the story that most of us are familiar with, but we also discover the deeper pattern that runs underneath it all. Join us as we look at these liturgies, see how they are connected, and notice how the deeper story they tell might give us a key to helping students to not only grasp the events of Easter, but see its relevance in their life today.

Stations of the Cross - A Conversation with Dianne Minaar

In late 2013 local artist, Dianne Minaar, was approached by Sacred Heart Catholic Parish, Samford, to paint an installation of the Stations of the Cross as part of the Church refurbishment. Little did Dianne know that the next 16 months would be a life changing experience that affected her spiritually, emotionally, and physically. In this episode, you will hear Dianne's amazing story, about the meaning the Stations have for Christians and for the world, and about the providential way the paintings came about. You will also hear about how Formation and Engagement Services partnered with Dianne to create a special way for you to engage with these incredible images and deepen your devotion through the Stations of the Cross in 2026.
