Why Does God’s Generosity Bother Us? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why does God’s generosity sometimes bother us? Isaiah reminds us that God’s thoughts are not our thoughts and God’s ways are not our ways. Then Jesus gives us the wonderfully uncomfortable story of workers in a vineyard who all receive the same wage—even though some worked all day and others arrived at the last minute. If we’re honest, God’s generosity can mess with our sense of fairness. In this episode, I reflect on generosity, forgiveness, my two very generous grandmothers, and the invitation
What Kind of Anger Are You Nourishing? | Providence Podcast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What kind of anger are you nourishing? In this week’s readings, Sirach offers a striking image: “the sinner hugs” wrath and anger tightly. But not all anger is destructive. Sometimes anger wakes us up, moves us toward justice, gives us courage, or helps us speak up for ourselves and others. Other times, anger becomes resentment, bitterness, or rage—and the more we feed it, the more it takes hold of us. So how do we tell the difference?

We’ll look at the connection between love, conflict, reconciliation,
What If More Isn’t Better? | Renewal, Resistance & Real Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if more isn’t better? We live surrounded by messages telling us what we should want: more success, more beauty, more wealth, more achievement, more recognition. And yet, the pressure to have it all can leave us exhausted—and wondering what really matters. In this reflection, we'll explore Paul’s invitation in Romans to “not conform” to the values of the age, but to be transformed by the renewal of our minds. The Gospel pushes the question even further: What does it profit us to gain the who
Who Do You Say That I Am? | Know God, Know Yourself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Who do you say that I am?” Jesus asks this vulnerable question of his friends—and as we begin Season 6 of the Providence Podcast, we’re going to sit with it together. Who is Christ for you? Who is God for you? And what happens when the answer isn't clear? Our faith can move through seasons of certainty, questioning, doubt, trust, mystery, and wonder. In this episode, we explore how those experiences can be part of a healthy spiritual life—and how we can trust that God is with us even when we do
