14th Sunday in Ordinary Time, 2025

In this episode, Fr. James reflects on The Backpack Effect—the paradoxical truth that the more you travel, the lighter you pack… not just in your luggage, but in life. Drawing from Jesus’ instructions to the 72 disciples in Luke 10, we explore how the spiritual life calls us to travel light, to surrender control, and to cultivate deep interio...

    Living in Divine Communion: The Heart of Spiritual Health

    In this episode, we explore the foundation of spiritual health—not as a religious add-on, but as the very core of what it means to be fully human. Drawing from Scripture, the theology of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, and the ache of the modern soul, we reflect on how our deepest wounds and longings are not problems to fix but invitations into div...

    What do a baffling university quote, swirling incense, and the mystery of the Trinity have in common? More than you think.

    Pentecost 2025

    Graduation season is a time of giving—gifts to celebrate, to remember, and to send forth with love. But what if the greatest gifts we receive aren’t wrapped in ribbons, but in the presence of the Giver Himself?

    In this episode, we explore the love language of gift giving—not as materialism, but as the sacred act of saying, “You are seen. You are loved. You matter.” We then tu...

    In this opening episode of The Road to Wholeness, we begin with a map—not of streets and cities, but of the human person. Drawing from St. Teresa of Avila, Benedict XVI, and the deep wells of Christian anthropology, we explore what it means to be made in the image of God. Before any healing can begin, we must remember who we are: someone, not something. This episode charts the terrain of the soul—our intellect, will, ...

    This episode reflects on the quiet aftermath of great missions—whether in war, in the early Church, or in our own lives. Drawing from a scene in Band of Brothers, the Ascension in the Gospel of Luke, and a moment from Black Hawk Down, it explores the kind of silence that follows profound revelation. Not a silence of fear, but of purpose. The Apostles didn’t retreat after the Lord ascended—they returned to prayer, to w...

    In this episode, we journey into the heart of the interior life—where sonship is not just a theological idea but a lived identity, rooted in the truth of God’s love. Fr. Searby explores how misbeliefs about ourselves and others become strongholds for spiritual distortion, and how forgiveness and spiritual warfare begin in reclaiming truth. This is a call to detach from the lies of the enemy, re-align our hearts with t...
