Feed Your Soul Gospel Reflections

How often do you compare yourself to others? We all do it. In ways big and small, subtle and not-so-subtle. 

Today, Jesus provides a warning about the destruction comparison can bring to our lives. Thankfully, he also provides the solution. 

Do you dream of doing amazing things with your life? Well, great things don't happen overnight. Building a strong family, doing meaningful work, thriving spiritually...they all require one thing: persistence. Today, Allen reflects on one of Jesus' great parables that reveals how you can grow in persistence and elevate every area of your life.

Which kind of leper are you? It’s time to find out. 

The best flavor combination the Gospel has to offer: a little bit of sweet, a little bit of salty. Sometimes we can look at parts of the Gospel and think, “That sounds hard—I don’t like what that means.” And you’re not alone in that. But today, Allen makes a surprising comparison between the Gospel and a Reese’s cup to show us how the salty parts of the Gospel can make its message that much sweeter. 

Today’s Gospel is meant to send a shiver down your spine. If it doesn’t, you’ve missed the point.

Watch Matthew’s reflection and discover how you can embrace one of Jesus’ most uncomfortable lessons and live a life of powerful goodness. 

You will be pushed beyond your comfort zone, but you’ll never regret it.

What’s green, powerful, and can easily detach you from Jesus? Hint: Jesus talks a lot about it in the Gospels. 

This week, Jesus asks his most important question about something none of us like to talk about: money. Listen to Allen’s reflection on the role money plays in our lives and how we can let Jesus recapture our hearts.

Today let’s take a second look at the most famous verse in the Bible. 

How are you carrying your cross? Are you dragging it behind you begrudgingly, or ignoring it altogether? Today, Jesus shares his biggest reminder about carrying our crosses, one we tend to forget. Listen to Matthew’s reflection and learn the one critical conversation that will change your view of the cross and lead you towards your truest self.

What is true humility? The answer might surprise you. 

What’s the best way to live? Jesus has the answer. 

Is the Gospel really for everyone? Jesus says no. It might come as a shock, but Jesus says himself that the Gospel is exclusive. Today, Allen's reflection on the endtimes shows us that it's our choice to embrace the Gospel or not that defines our lives. (Plus, you'll learn 4 powerful ways to invite others to embrace the Gospel too!)

Do you know the most common phrase in the Bible? “Do not be afraid.” Repeated over a thousand times, it’s clearly a message God desperately wants us to hear.

Today, Matthew explores the power of fear. How it paralyzes us. Why we give into it. And ultimately, how to overcome it. It’s time to face the fears that are holding you back and live the life you were made for. Are you ready?  

Jesus had strong boundaries. Do you? 

You may have prayed the Lord’s Prayer countless times…but never like this! 

Sometimes the most powerful prayers don’t sound the way you’d expect.

What limits do you place on love? Love will always be difficult, but Jesus gives us someone to look up to – someone legendary who took love to the next level. Today, Matthew reveals how this man can teach us how to make the most of every moment and unleash goodness in our lives.

Sooner or later, there’s one question about Jesus we all have to answer. Not just Catholics. Not just Christians. Everyone. 

Will your answer be an overwhelming statement of faith…. or will it be a tragic lapse in judgment? Watch today’s reflection now–you’ll come face to face with the question that has the power to change everything.

No matter what worries, stress, or fear you’re facing today, remember—Jesus has everything under control.
