It's been a year since the birth of the Red Sunflowers podcast. Although our first episode wasn't released until a few months later, July of 2020 was when things started to take shape for this podcast. We discuss a bit about the history of our podcast, including the reasoning behind the name. July is traditionally dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus, so we also spend some time sharing about this devotion and other devotions we have. Our intention this month is for good, wholesome, and rejuvenating recreation. Have a great summer. Here's the poem, "Come over to me" by Fr. Thomas Dominic Rover, O.P. Come over to me, all you who are restless, and I will teach you how to be quiet, how to leave yourself alone. Come over to me, all you who are anxious, even if I don't take your anxiety away, I will change it into fresh currency, as you turn your cares into greater belief in my caring. Come over to me, all you who are lonely, I was lonely too, and could find no place to lay my head. Come over to me, all you who worry what others really think about you. It doesn't matter. They misunderstood me, no matter what I did. Come over to me, all you who are always talking and pleading and explaining yourselves to others. I know you inside out. I know the worst. So you can come to me without any explanations. Come over to me, all you whose great plans for yourself have failed. You don't know how lucky you are. And others too. Come over to me, all you who can't stand yourselves. I touched lepers, and once I called a man out of a tomb who had been stinking there for four days. So come over to me– I can stand just about anything. Come over to me, all you who can't stand other people. I know what is behind their misery. I know the worst in them as I know it in you. And I embrace you both. Come over to me, all you who fret about the past. I was there, I was part of your past, and I have forgotten all about it. So be like me and forget it too. Come over to me, all you who can't live peacefully in the present. Come to me now, without reserve. That is the way to live peacefully in the present. Come over to me, all you who fear the future. Do not fear. I am your future. This podcast is a production of Journeys Revealed Ministries. Check out the website! journeysrevealed.com

Happy New Year, and a blessed Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God to you! This month, we talk about the Lover (Christ), and the many risks He takes out of His immense love for us. We invite you to reflect on how Jesus has taken risks for you in your own life. We also invite you to pray for an increase in Eucharistic devotion throughout this next month.

In this episode, we talk about our mugs for an absurd amount of time. And then finally, we get to our topic, which is about being faithful even when you don't feel it. We discuss some of our own struggles with this and what the Lord showed us through it. Grace's quote of the episode: "I was talking about the Lord...I think"

Welcome to our first full episode! Thanks for coming back and tuning in as we discuss identity. Identity is one of the foundations of our relationship with Jesus. It tells us not only who we are, but who we are in relation to God, Our Father. In this we find rest, security, and unending love. Because of this it is necessary for us to revisit this reality frequently and rest in His security. We invite you to sit with the Lord and ask him to tell you who you are and, perhaps, more importantly, whose you are. We hope this episode blesses you! Our podcast is also available on YouTube.

Tune in on Nov. 1st for a REAL episode. All saints, PRAY FOR US... #letusredeemourselves.
