Have you ever pondered the complexity of your own identity? Is it an inherent truth or an ever-evolving perception shaped by experiences and relationships? Join me and my esteemed guest, Father Stephen Sanchez, a Discalced Carmelite Priest, as we dissect these deep questions, offering you fresh perspectives on the fascinating concept of self-identity.Our exploration takes us straight into the heart of spirituality, as we consider how our identities are deeply entwined with our understanding of God's love. Father Stephen shares profound insights on the filial relationship we share with God, the Father, through Jesus Christ, and how this relationship shapes our perception of ourselves. We explore what it truly means to belong to Christ and to be an agent of transformation in the world. The conversation resonates with a harmonious blend of spiritual and psychological perspectives, providing a broader lens to view identity.Moving beyond the surface, we delve into the pursuit of truth and identity, reflecting on a revealing psychological experiment with blue-eyed and brown-eyed children. This eye-opening scenario prompts us to question the authenticity of our identities and the role of our personal experiences in shaping who we are. Our discussion also ponders the possibility of objectivity in our quest for identity and the challenges of aligning our experiences and beliefs with God's grace. Join us on this enlightening journey of self-discovery, truth and a deeper understanding of identity.Have something you'd love to hear Fr. Stephen and John talk about?

Father Stephen is a former West Point Grad and Artillery Officer in the US Army. He's now a Catholic Priest, and he joins us today to talk about Jesus' cleansing of the Temple and to encourage us embrace a life of virtue and balance so we can pursue the Lord with an undivided heart. "If God is at the center of your life, everything else falls into proper place around that; He'll perfectly balance you out." Weekly Challenge: Recall your "why" from Ash Wednesday, and identify what in your life is keeping you from that why. Make the changes needed to help you reach your goal. Prayer to St. Michael: St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
