May We Learn To Do Small Things With Great Love
Two men. Two callings. A monk on a cliff in the Aegean and a farmer-preacher in rural Kentucky. They’ve spent their lives offering small things with great love — a prayer, a sermon, a drink of cold water. In a world obsessed with platform and applause, they stayed faithful where few were watching. Maybe that’s what the kingdom of God mostly is: quiet faithfulness in forgotten corners, for the glory of the One who never forgets.
Why Faith-Based Films Are Dominating
Jesus isn’t just showing up in theaters — he’s topping the charts. With “The Chosen” and “The King of Kings” taking multiple top-ten spots at the box office, faith-based films aren’t just succeeding; they’re resonating. Their rise says something about more than numbers. It speaks to a hunger — not just for truth, but for beauty. Not just theology, but story. And not just Jesus as an idea, but as a person.
Understanding Your Vocation: Hearing God’s Call
We don’t find our calling by chasing titles or tracking success. We find it by paying attention — to our gifts, our burdens and the quiet nudge of the Spirit. Sometimes the call is loud, sometimes it’s just a holy ache that won’t leave. But either way, vocation begins not with ambition, but with surrender — to listen, to follow and to trust that God leads well.
Where True Joy Comes From
We chase joy like it’s something to catch, but maybe it’s something to release. The more we try to fill ourselves up, the emptier we get. The more we give ourselves away, the more God fills in.
‘The Score’ Highlights Bach’s Faith And The Divine Power Of Music
Johann Sebastian Bach’s faith wasn’t background noise — it was the melody. “The Score,” a new West End drama starring Brian Cox, brings Bach’s story to life against the backdrop of war, royalty and belief. As Bach confronts King Frederick II, their clash of values highlights something timeless: music’s power to elevate truth, and one man’s refusal to separate his art from his allegiance to God.
Finding True Delight in the Lord
I used to think delighting in the Lord meant earning his blessings. But striving wore me down. What I learned instead is this: delight doesn’t begin with us — it begins with him.
To Sin Or Not To Sin: Shakespeare’s Vision Of God And Man
Shakespeare doesn’t preach, he probes. In Hamlet, Macbeth and King Lear, divine justice isn’t guaranteed, and grace isn’t always granted. His plays don’t answer theological questions so much as ask them: Are we free or fated? Is there mercy for the worst of us? In staging the tension between sin and salvation, Shakespeare reminds us just how near — and how far — God can sometimes feel.
Created for His Presence
We weren’t created for shallow moments or vague spiritual vibes. We were created to know the Presence of God — not as a concept, but as a person.
Dealing With Grief: Interview With Sister Sarah Hennessey
Grief has many faces, and Sister Sarah Hennessey has seen them all — through funerals, fractured friendships and the quiet ache of transition. In a world that pushes us to grieve alone, she offers a different way: brave grieving in community. “God is the one who stays,” she says. Her vocation isn’t just spiritual direction. It’s walking with others through the sacred work of loss.
‘The Chosen: The Last Supper Part 3’: Finale Achieves Cinematic And Spiritual Greatness
In its Season 5 finale, The Chosen reaches for more than storytelling — it brushes up against religious art. With Roumie’s Jesus agonizing in Gethsemane, the series delivers not just emotion but encounter. The camera doesn’t just observe; it bears witness. You don’t watch these scenes — you feel them. And in the space between performance and Scripture, something sacred settles in. Something that feels a lot like worship.
‘The Chosen: The Last Supper’ Season 5 Premiere Lives Up To The Pre-Easter Hype
“The Chosen: The Last Supper” kicks off its fifth season with confidence, clarity and a whole lot of cinematic power. From Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem to his quiet moments of inner resolve, the premiere balances tension and tenderness with surprising ease. More than just great faith-based TV, this is great TV — crafted by artists who trust both the Gospel and their own creative instincts.
Stressed Out by Stuff
What if stress isn’t just from the noise or the to-do list, but from a heart that’s too full of everything but God? Maybe freedom starts not with more, but with making space for what matters most.

How to ‘Know’ Jesus
Knowing Jesus isn’t about collecting facts. It’s about learning his mind, his ways, his heartbeat. Scripture becomes a means of connection, not just comprehension.
Choose To Love Others And Live With Joy
The world may feel like it’s falling apart — wars, uncertainty, personal aches and pains. But if we’re honest, none of us ever really controlled it anyway. What we can control is how we live today. Choose to live with joy. Choose to love others well. That’s the freedom we’ve been given, even in chaos. The future is uncertain, but today is a gift. And that’s more than enough.
Jesus’ Family Was More Dysfunctional Than Yours
Matthew’s Gospel doesn’t shy away from Jesus’ messy family tree. His genealogy includes adulterers, outsiders and deeply flawed people — names like Tamar, Rahab, David and Bathsheba. In a world where ancestry was your résumé, Matthew highlights dysfunction on purpose. Why? To remind us that God works through broken families and broken people. If Jesus’ family was a mess, there’s hope for the rest of us too.
Anger Can Be Good And Healthy — But Only To A Point
Anger, like all emotions, isn’t inherently bad. It just is. Even God gets angry. But left unexamined, it can become corrosive — festering in silence or exploding into harm. The healthiest anger starts with honesty: What’s really beneath the rage? Sadness? Fear? Disappointment? When anger is softened by truth and shaped by the Spirit, it becomes fuel for compassion, not destruction — a surprising virtue in a world full of vice.
Flannery O’Connor At 100: Faith & Fiction In The American South
Flannery O’Connor didn’t separate her Catholicism from her craft — she let one deepen the other. Her stories, often set in the rural South, hinge on discomfort and grace, sin and sudden revelation. Whether through a grandmother’s final act of clarity or a holy fool’s blunt truth, O’Connor reminds us: redemption doesn’t come without confrontation. A century later, her faith-infused fiction still resonates.
You’ve Likely Heard the Serenity Prayer − but Not Its Backstory
You’ve seen it on mugs and magnets: God grant me the serenity… But Reinhold Niebuhr’s original version was grittier — not just serenity, but grace. Not just change what can be changed, but what should. And it wasn’t “grant me” — it was “grant us.” Theologian, activist, realist — Niebuhr gave us a prayer for courage and community, rooted not in certainty, but in grace.
