This podcast is all about exploring the sacred in the seemingly secular from the lens of a Catholic Filipino lay missionary. Hosted by Mon Reyes.
Have you ever gone through a heartbreak or a terrible loss but had to power through it because you knew you had responsibilities? Have you ever had to set aside your feelings at the time because you knew other people were relying on you? It seems like Jesus knew that very well. This episode is a further reflection on what was in Jesus' heart during the well-known miracle of the Feeding of the 5000.

Nico once left Catholicism in order to join an Evangelical Church (or born again Christian) while Carissa remained steadfast in her Catholic faith as she dug deeper into the reasons why she professes it.

Most of us think of being open to change as a good thing, and it can be! But what do we make of those who are just more resistant to it rather than open? Is that a bad thing then? Let's talk about it.

Every year, Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent. And every Lent, one of the things we do and talk about in the church is fasting. What is fasting? Why do we do it? Does it count if I get hangry? What does the Bible have to say about this ancient discipline?
