Episode 231 - Discerning God's Work in You

How does Jesus come alive in you?

We are invited to share in the heart of Jesus who wants to heal the world and do His works even now. And there are patterns and consistencies in how He works in our lives that are also personal and particular. These are revelations that are not something abstract or different but unique and personal to each one of us.

In this episode, we're gonna try explaining that concept, share what it looks like, and see what we can do with it to be instruments of God's work in the world.

Episode 230 - Discerning God's Voice

How do I hear and know God's Voice?

God desires to break into our lives and speak with us—to communicate with us. But most of the time, what that looks like can be quite unclear. That is why it's important that we are able to discern how God speaks. In this episode, we're gonna look at some practical ways to hear and know the voice of God and see how we can receive what He speaks to each of us.

Episode 229 - Learning God's Voice

How can we bring our feelings to the Lord?

Once we have a sense of what we are feeling and why we are feeling that way, this would be the next step that we're invited to do—to turn to Jesus in prayer in great faith and trust then relate and bring these feelings to him and let him respond to it.

In this episode, we'll talk about how we can relate our emotions to the Lord and what it would look like to let Him speak His words into those feelings.

Episode 228 - Building on Rock

Why do we feel a certain way?

This would be a great question to ask ourselves once we identify and name what we feel.

It's good to learn what's ultimately at stake in every emotion, test, or situation we encounter and understand why it's so important to us. This episode talks about some practical examples and applications of how we can dive deeper into that and how we can use that to grow and build our lives on rock of what it means to be beloved children of God.

Episode 227 - Emotions and Jesus

How do you feel? And why do emotions matter?

Valuing the emotional life as important, they are an intrinsic part of us. Emotions are neutral in nature but how we respond to them can be both fruitful and dangerous, this is why knowing how to navigate them is vital in our human life.

In this episode, we'll talk about the importance of emotions, the right word and place for them, and how they integrate with the spiritual life.

Know Thyself Aug 21, 2024

Show notes

Episode 226 - Know Thyself

How much do you know about yourself?

This might be a good starting point to ask ourselves in our interior life pilgrimage. From self-protection to self-acceptance, to self-possession, and ultimately to self-gift, it's a journey to know oneself. And the beauty of being in prayer with the Lord is that we're growing in self-knowledge and self-acceptance, self-possession with Jesus.

In this episode, we'll talk about the importance of self-knowledge and self-acceptance and how we can identify what we need to grow and/or accept throughout our interior life pilgrimage.

Show notes

Episode 225 - SEEK 2024

What do you do when God comes to you in mystery?

If we are willing to search for God in the mysteries of suffering, the ordinary, and the sacraments, hidden somewhere in there, we can find medicines.

God uses these mysteries to communicate medicines, for our transformation, our holiness, the things we most deeply need to grow, change, heal, and become the children of God he made us to be.

In this special episode with Spoke Street at SEEK 24, we'll talk about, reflect, and dive deeper into Fr. Isaiah's "Mysteries & Medicine" album by Fr. Isaiah and what it means to find God through the mysteries.

Episode 224 - He Knows Your Name, Series on "Mysteries & Medicine" by Fr. Isaiah, CFR (Part 4)

Are you able to see the goodness of God?

We are invited to trust and surrender that God is good and is always with us, to be rooted in the truth that God is Father, that He knows us, that He is good, and that He loves us.

This is the fourth and last episode on the Mysteries & Medicine album which teaches us how we can call out to Him and ask for the grace to trust Him and to be reunited in our identity, but most importantly, first and foremost, His identity—a deeper dive into our life journey, our pilgrimage with the one who is always with us, loves us and knows us by name.

Show notes

Episode 223 - From Me to You, Series on "Mysteries & Medicine" by Fr. Isaiah, CFR (Part 3)

Have you experienced being confined in self-centeredness?

Sometimes we can have a pretty self-focused approach to our lives where it's all about what we need or what we want.

But the invitation for us in this Exodus is to always move towards someone else, towards relationship, towards God—to be totally out of ourselves and make a self-gift back to God and to other people.

This episode is the third part of our series on Fr. Isaiah's Mysteries & Medicine which talks about the nature of our desires and how we can transform them from being self-centered to being outer-centered.
