What if your life’s purpose is connected to something bigger than yourself?


In this episode, Fr. Brian Rebholtz takes a fresh look at Luke 10, where Jesus sends out a group of 70 (sometimes said as 72) ordinary people to share a message of hope and healing. He connects this ancient story to Viktor Frankl’s simple but powerful idea: “Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.” 

What does this mean for us today?

  • Given a task, not just invited – These people weren’t volunteers. They were chosen and sent on a mission.
  • No backup plan – They got no extra supplies—just trust and connection with something bigger than themselves.
  • Real courage matters – It wasn’t always welcomed; their mission could be rejected or ignored, but simply going showed their commitment.
  • True joy isn’t in achievement – It’s not about getting applause—it’s about knowing you showed up for what you believe in.


This episode gives you a chance to ask yourself: What have I decided my purpose is? and How does reaching out—without guarantees—change what my life looks like?

If you’re new to spirituality or just curious, this conversation welcomes you. It’s about how everyday people—yes, even you—can find meaning by stepping into the unknown. Join us and discover what “being on a mission” can really feel like.
