Most of us think of the resurrection as Jesus simply "coming back to life"...but that's not what actually happened. If you've ever though Easter was just about proving Jesus's power over death...this episode will blow that wide open!

In this episode, we dive into the reality of the resurrection. It's not just a cool miracle like Lazarus being raised, but something far more radical. Jesus didn't just return to His old life...He entered into a completely new, glorified existence.

And here's the part that changes everything: He did it for us.

We talk about what it means that Jesus's resurrected body is transformed, how He opens the door for us to share in His divine life, and why the resurrection isn't just something to celebrate once a year. It's the foundation of the life we're called to live right now.

"Offer it up" sounds holy...but what if you're not actually ready to?

In this episode, we unpack the reality of redemptive suffering and how our relationship with suffering develops over time.

Too often, we try to jump to the language of the saints without first going through the necessary stages of growth. Like St. Paul, when he said in Colossians 1:24, "...I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ's afflictions..." He could only say that after years of following Christ and growing in holiness.

We talk about:

• Why it's okay if you're not "rejoicing" in suffering yet
• The stages of spiritual maturity in suffering
• What it really means to unite your suffering to Christ

Wherever you are in your journey, God is working! Happy Triduum!

In this episode we dive into our experience of embracing the three Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. What’s the point of these disciplines? Do they make us more worthy of God’s love or do they make us more capable of receiving the love God already has for us? Duh. But how we frame these practices for ourselves makes all the difference between a performative experience of penance and a transformative one. Join us as we discuss the highs and lows of Lenten disciplines and also make fun of Scott’s gut!
