You fall in love. You're captivated. You date, court, propose, and marry. You're IN love. Everything is passionate and real and authentic and natural. But over time, things change. Life happens. And some married people find that their love hasn't been sustained, hasn't deepened. Instead of being in love with their spouse, they're indifference - or worse, find that they've grown to resent or hate them. What's TRUE of married couples is TRUE of all of us when it comes to our relationship with God. Over time, we can become INDIFFERENT, bored, fatigued, and distracted. That's not only a problem, but it's a sin. In this message, Max Vanderpool outlines the greatest threat to the American church and to the average American's "walk" with Jesus. And it isn't lust, greed, or pride. It's ACEDIA.

Have you ever had someone call you “slothful?” Did you feel bad because you were feeling lazy? Sloth is one of the deadly sins, but it doesn’t mean what you think it does. Known by the Desert Fathers and Mothers as “acedia,” this sin is pervasive, and we’ve all experienced its power. In this powerful message, Pastor Scott Savage names a feeling we all know well, showing us the dangers of this sin and how we overcome it with God’s power.

Title: Fighting through the Fog: Battling Sloth and AcediaSpeaker: Matt KehlerText: Psalm 143Link to Discussion Questions

Lent 2025

DateMarch 16, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon from our Lenten series "Glitch: Reframing Sin and Finding Reconnection," we tackle the often-overlooked sin of acedia—a soul-numbing apathy that convinces us "this is just how things are." Jesus' encounter with the paralyzed man at Bethzatha reveals how we can become stuck in narratives of despair, our imaginations dried out by years of disappointment. But Jesus creates threshold moments, disrupting our cynicism with invitations to "stand up"—to crack open our shells and step into new possibilities. Like acorns beneath an oak tree, we're called to see beyond what is to what could be.ReferencesScripture: John 5:1–9About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

Today we continue with our worship series Fully Alive, based on the book of the same title by Elizabeth Oldfield. We are each searching for meaning in our lives—searching for wisdom. And there's millions of places for us to find it. In Fully Alive, Elizabeth Oldfield reminds us of the wisdom that our Christian faith tradition holds. Within Christianity, there are signposts that show us how to become the kind of human this world needs. In a world that is rife with division, pointing fingers, selfishness, and ecological destruction, we can be part of the solution—someone who is living “fully alive” and not wasting this one wild and wonderful life. Oldfield does this by using the framework of the seven deadly sins: how they show up in our lives and what it would look like to move towards more positive, life-giving virtues. It's anything that causes disconnection between ourselves and others, us and the natural world, and us and God. It is something that needs to be met not with judgment, but with grace—both in ourselves and others. Because sin does not define us—our worst choices are not our identity. It's simply part of the human experience—to have these pulls and temptations. It's easy to see how these things show up in the world—how those people sin. But this series is meant to help us bring awareness to our own sins—to acknowledge how they show up in our own lives, and then think about how we want to move forward in the world with or without them. This week, we focus on the sin of acedia—what's commonly known as sloth.

A lecture given at L'Abri Fellowship in Southborough, Massachusetts. For more information, visit https://southboroughlabri.org/ by Joshua Chestnut While we may intuitively think of a life of lazy resignation as being diametrically opposed to a life of hyperactive busyness, our ancestors in the faith may have seen things differently and understood these two common ways of life as being symptomatic of some deeper, spiritual problem, i.e. acedia. Sometimes translated as "sloth," acedia originally identified an internal habit of resistance (or laziness) to the Christian calling of loving God and our neighbor. This lecture will consider acedia in its historical context as well as its contemporary instances while considering what might be its remedy.

“You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.” Taking a look at the first commandment, we see how we are called to love and worship God above all else. The Catechism also lists the ways in which we may potentially fall into sins against faith, hope, and charity. Fr. Mike elaborates on these violations and reminds us that while it may seem overwhelming, God loved us first, and we must trust in him. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2083-2094. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Part of the Teaching Sovereign Knowers Collection In recent years, a number of HeightsCast guests have touched on the same resounding theme: the modern creep of curiositas and acedia, both considered classical vices. But where there are two vices, Aristotle encourages us to look for a virtue at the Golden Mean. Mr. Michael Moynihan, head of The Heights upper school, finds it in studiousness. Adding to his collection of work on Teaching Sovereign Knowers, this episode unpacks Michael's essay “Intellectual Virtue and Personal Sovereignty,” available on the Heights Forum. In it, he speaks to the why and how of pursuing studiousness as an intellectual virtue. For this, as with all virtues, allows us to stand before reality in an intentional way. Chapters: 3:43 Curiosity as an intellectual vice? 7:55 Acedia at the other end of the spectrum 10:15 Golden mean: studiousness 14:36 When is it curiositas, when is it engagement? 16:37 Studiousness as a virtue—of sorts 23:09 Standing before reality in an intentional way 26:23 Seeking the golden mean: sticking to a plan 29:21 Using “Great Books” well 34:46 Orienting students to the golden mean Links: Intellectual Virtue and Personal Sovereignty by Michael Moynihan The Idea of a University by John Henry Cardinal Newman Featured Opportunities: Headmaster's Lecture at The Heights School (October 5, 2024) The Art of Teaching Conference at The Heights School (November 13-15, 2024) Also on the Forum: Teaching Sovereign Knowers Collection by Michael Moynihan On Hope and Despair featuring R.

As we embark on a new school year, we are full of resolutions for the family routine. How will we order our week to support the highest goods? How will we fit it all in? Not to be overlooked while charting the course: our keeping of the Sabbath. Last April, author and teacher Daniel Fitzpatrick released his book Restoring the Lord's Day: How Reclaiming Sunday Can Revive Our Human Nature. Daniel sits down with us at HeightsCast to discuss the book, which examines the cultural drift away from a sense of Sabbath, why we should restore this God-given rhythm to our lives, and the scriptural support for how to do it. Chapters: 4:09 Inattention to the Sabbath: modern or ageless? 7:54 Acedia, primary vice against the Sabbath 12:32 Challenges of the five-day work week 17:24 Festivity and sacrifice 21:56 The draw of sports as they relate to beauty 24:30 The good, UNrestful activities of Sunday 31:09 Practical advice for young families 35:38 Preparing on Saturday 40:44 Concluding the Sabbath 43:22 Reckoning with the necessity of labor Links: Restoring the Lord's Day: How Reclaiming Sunday Can Revive Our Human Nature by Daniel Fitzpatrick Joie de Vivre: A Journal of Art, Culture, and Letters for South Louisiana edited by Daniel Fitzpatrick Grace Fitzpatrick Art, Byzantine iconography by Grace Fitzpatrick Featured Opportunities: The Art of Teaching Conference at The Heights School (November 13-15, 2024) Also on the Forum: Work and Acedia: On Our Original Vocation featuring R.

Even though this term may be foreign to our ears, what it is - is very, very relevant to every Christian. So please stick around, and let's learn what this term means and how it affects us.

Thank you for joining us as we kick off our 'MOVE' series. Ps Aaron unpacks the Mercy element of our focus this year, 'Love is on the Move'.To dig deeper, read Luke 10:25–37.The key to understanding this parable is the interaction between Jesus and the religious teacher. When the religious leader asks “Who is my neighbour?”, he is asking, Jesus, where can I draw the line? The good Samaritan is a story that tests our understanding of love. It confronts and unmasks any false limits we have put on love that would restrict our ability to release love and mercy into our world. Mercy is love moving in response to human need in an unexpected and undeserved way. Our task as followers of Jesus is to ruthlessly attend to any structures in our heart or mind that would prevent us from following Jesus' command to “go and do likewise”, to go and show mercy to those in need. Psychologist James Hollis says every day when a man or woman wakes up two shadows are standing over their bed, fear and apathy. These two shadows limit mercy, the flow of love in our life. In our world fear often looks like suspicion or mistrust and has the power to shape the way we see others, and how we react to moments of injustice. Fear, turns our hearts inwards and limits our ability to extend mercy but love moves through a heart that has learnt to turn outward. Spiritual apathy isn't inaction, it is this idea of being numb to the meaningful, but “alive” to the trivial. The word the early church fathers used to describe this was “acedia”, and it is spiritual resistance to spiritual progress. Acedia seeks to distract you from those things that will bring us life, stealing your joy, and reducing your faith to a passionless grind. How do we confront the limits put on our love and mercy by fear and apathy? The gospel is our cure. The parable of the good Samaritan humbles us with the mercy God requires so we can receive the mercy God offers. The Gospel will re-posture our hearts from facing inward to outward. The gospel will awaken our hearts with a fiery and holy zeal.REFLECTION QUESTIONSTo what degree has fear limited our ability to love? To what degree is fear shaping the way we see others? Where does apathy show up most in my life? How does it hinder me from living a full, kingdom of God kind of life? How does apathy limit love from moving in and through my life? Has fear and apathy turned you “inward”? Do you need to repent? If the gospel is the cure for fear and apathy, what can you sing, watch, listen to, read, talk about, and celebrate that will remind you of the gospel and its power and turn your heart outward?Thanks again for joining us.

Host Lisa Colon DeLay explores the Desert Wisdom on Acedia which leads toward Nihilism

Have you ever seen a young person struggling to get motivated, complaining about boredom, or seeming a bit lazy and apathetic? Or perhaps they're the opposite, always busy, distracted, and jumping from one thing to the next throughout the day. This behavior is common in our modern world, but the ancients had a unique word for it: Acedia. Although this term has faded from our vocabulary, it's worth rediscovering, as it helps us better understand this prevalent vice, especially challenging for teenagers. Fortunately, our guest Craig Hefner encouraging words and practical solutions to reframe this mindset in our homes and schools.We are thrilled to share the rollout of our new media platform, ZipCast, bridging communication between schools and parents and encouraging them on the go with what they need to know.

In today's episode, I welcome back Danny Fitzpatrick to discuss his new book released by Sophia Institute, titled "Restoring the Lord's Day: How Reclaiming Sunday Can Revive Our Human Nature."  We discuss the importance of the Sabbath, how it is crucial for restoring our human nature, and how culture has shifted away from recognizing its significance. We also talk at length about the surprising ways Acedia (slothfulness) manifests in our lives and how it leads to a sadness about Divine goods. We end the episode by offering practical ways of reclaiming the Sabbath in your life and family. This episode is a call to integrate these principles into daily life, while emphasizing the transformative power of dedicating time to God, especially on Sundays. Have thoughts about this episode?

Glittering Vice #3 Acedia (uh·see·dee·uh) What is acedia? Maybe we should first say what it is not. Acedia is often called sloth. The problem with this term is it helps to camouflage the real vice. Sloth paints a picture of one who has an aversion to work, like Tom Sawyer taking it easy while his friends whitewash the fence. Actually, the lazy person and the busy person can both suffer from hearts afflicted with acedia. The original definition of sloth was lazy about love not work, a faintheartedness accompanied by unhelpful thoughts that threatens our core commitment to our identity. It thwarts our fundamental identity as someone devoted to developing a lifelong relationship with God. Remember Lot's wife? During the family's lifesaving rescue, what did she do? Sadly, she looked back. Why? She was reluctant to leave her former life of ease. People with acedia choose to stunt their spiritual growth by avoiding the tough stuff while we work feverishly on minor things that are ‘urgent'. Ouch! Aquinas defined acedia as “aversion to the divine good in us.” We are made in the image of God, but we have many struggles to overcome to stay focused on pleasing Him. These struggles come daily so our response to them must be daily. Think about it, relationships need to be invested in to thrive, whether they're with God or family or friends. When acedia creeps in those relationships flounder instead of flourish. What can we do? Relationships need sacrifice, nurturing, and effort. We cannot exterminate this vice without consistent commitment. Our love for God, our choice to be like Him, must be lived out day after day as we dedicate ourselves to developing and deepening our relationship with our Heavenly Father and the relationships of those near and dear, whether we feel like it or not. This daily discipline, this perseverance, this weaning off worldly wants and learning to enjoy God's presence is a process. Join us as we struggle, with our Father's help, to overcome this vice that often goes under the radar.

La acedia fue el vicio sobre el que el Papa Francisco invitó a reflexionar en la Audiencia General de este 14 de febrero, en el Aula Pablo VI. “Una tentación muy peligrosa” que incita casi “a desear la muerte”. Cuando nos asalta, dijo el Santo Padre, hay que contrarrestarla con “una medida de compromiso más pequeña”, pero con perseverancia, “apoyándose en Jesús”.PARA ESCUCHARLA Y VERLA, pincha aquí: https://youtu.be/2GIE9D4_iFM?si=Dj5SwNA2nQxL7V87

Have you ever caught yourself merely existing rather than truly living? Father Mike Schmitz joins us to ignite a conversation about the transformational power of ditching a passive existence for an active, intentional life. We unravel the destructive nature of acedia, explore how it differs from mere laziness, and provide the keys to overcoming this subtle foe in our daily battles. Father Mike addresses the sacred battleground of prayer.

“You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.” Taking a look at the first commandment, we see how we are called to love and worship God above all else. The Catechism also lists the ways in which we may potentially fall into sins against faith, hope, and charity. Fr. Mike elaborates on these violations and reminds us that while it may seem overwhelming, God loved us first, and we must trust in him. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2083-2094.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up - Galatians 6:9. Acedia - the sin of sloth or laziness -- is the enemy of moral achievement and the agent of cultural bone rot. Isaiah exposed this in his day when he lamented, “So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter” (Isaiah 59:14). Secrecy and camouflage accompany its weakening of the conscience and vitiating of the will. Acedia easily becomes a habit of the heart, a way of being that blends in with the moral mediocrity—or even debauchery—of the day. Vice it is, but a crafty one. Monks and nuns of the medieval age understood acedia, both in experience and in concept. They called it “the noonday demon.” Theologians, such as Thomas Aquinas and John Cassian, wrote about it in depth. Yet Christians today hardly mention it or even know its meaning. Scripture condemns laziness, warns of its results, and commends diligence in doing goodness. Many of these anti-indolence texts are proverbs. Through laziness, the rafters sag;    because of idle hands, the house leaks—Eccles 10:18. One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys.—Proverbs 18:9 In a longer proverb, King Solomon tells us to look to the ant for rebuke and exhortation. Go to the ant, you sluggard;    consider its ways and be wise!7 It has no commander,    no overseer or ruler,8 yet it stores its provisions in summer    and gathers its food at harvest. 9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard?    When will you get up from your sleep?10 A little sleep, a little slumber,    a little folding of the hands to rest—11 and poverty will come on you like a thief    and scarcity like an armed man (Proverbs 6:6-11). If the lowly ant is industrious in its realm, then how much more should God's image-bearers get about the work of having dominion over the creation (Genesis 1:26). Jesus, in The Apocalypse, issues these flaming words against laziness: To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation.  I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!  So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth (Revelation 4:14-16).  Jesus, whose ardor led him to the Cross to please God and redeem God's people, does not tolerate tepid religion. He did not take up and go to the Cross to make us comfortable in our conformity to custom and convenience.   Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
