This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Fr. John Horn, co-founder of the Institute for Priestly Formation, to continue their series on confession. They explore how the sin of pride often hides beneath the surface of our spiritual lives and can even affect the way we approach the Sacrament of Reconciliation itself. Using the parable of the Prodigal Son, they also uncover how fear, shame, and self-reliance can keep us from fully receiving the Father's love. At its core, Confession is an encounter with a Father who rejoices over His children and allowing our hearts to receive this love leads us toward deeper healing and freedom   Key Points: Zephaniah's image of God rejoicing and singing over His people reveals the Father's true posture toward repentant sinners. Many of us approach confession assuming God is disappointed in them rather than delighting in their return. St. Thomas Aquinas teaches that "whatever is received is received according to the mode of the receiver." Which means, the disposition of our hearts is connected with our ability to receive the Father's love. Self-condemnation and self-hatred can be hidden forms of pride rather than genuine humility. Many deeply rooted patterns of sin become so familiar that we mistake them for normal life instead of areas needing healing. The younger son's demand for his inheritance reflects a desire for God's gifts apart from relationship with God Himself. The younger son's return reveals how shame can continue to operate even after repentance begins. The Father's embrace, kiss, robe, ring, and feast demonstrate God's extravagant response to repentance. The older brother reveals a different form of pride expressed through resentment, self-righteousness, and comparison. Resentment often exposes deeper fears, wounds, and unmet desires hidden beneath the surface. Joy can be difficult to receive when we are attached to self-protection, control, or self-judgment. True healing involves uncovering and renouncing the lies that keep us from trusting God's love. The Holy Spirit restores our original beauty by healing the places where we have rejected ourselves and doubted God's love.   Resources: Institute for Priestly Formation Zephaniah 3:14-18   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 03:25 The Father Rejoices Over His Children 13:38 Disposition Changes Everything 22:42 Entering into the Prodigal Son Story 33:02 Shame and the Younger Son 39:14 The Father's Embrace and Mercy 43:33 The Older Brother's Hidden Pride   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

In this episode, Fr. John Dear joins me to explore his latest book, Universal Love: Surrendering to the God of Peace and one of the core convictions at the center of it: genuine peacemaking begins not with better strategy or more effort, but with total surrender to the God of peace, to the will of God. We talk about what it looks like to take the Sermon on the Mount seriously, why following the non-violent Jesus is the way, and how the daily practice of "not my will, but yours" carries not only inner transformation, but political implications that go all the way to the streets.Fr. John Dear is an American peace activist, lecturer, author and Catholic priest residing in the Diocese of Monterey in California. Dear has written 40 books on Jesus, peace and nonviolence, and has been arrested 85 times in acts of nonviolent civil disobedience against war, injustice, poverty, racism, executions, nuclear weapons, and environmental destruction. He is the founder and director of the Beatitudes Center, where he offers the "Nonviolent Jesus Podcast". Fr.

This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Fr. John Horn, co-founder of the Institute for Priestly Formation, to begin a series on the Sacrament of Reconciliation. They discuss the connection between our wounded image of God and sin, revealing how many of our repeated struggles are rooted in lies about our identity in the Father's love. Fr. John also shares how Confession can become more than just listing sins, why we should embrace our interior poverty, and the danger of scrupulosity.    Key Points: Unforgiveness is one of the greatest barriers to restoration. Many people remain trapped after confession because they continue holding unforgiveness toward themselves. God does not despise our wounds; He desires to love us directly within them. Much of habitual sin is driven by deeper lies and false beliefs about God, ourselves, and others. Spiritual poverty is the very place that attracts God's mercy. Confession becomes transformative when we examine not only the outward sin, but the beliefs underneath it. Our image of God is often shaped by early relational wounds and experiences with parents or authority figures. God is not reluctantly forgiving us; He rejoices over us and fights for our healing and freedom.   Resources: Institute for Priestly Formation Episode 131: Forgiveness and Spiritual Renewal w/ Fr. John Horn "....Not enough that the arrow has been extracted from the body, the wound, which it inflicted, must also be healed. So with regard to the soul. Not enough that the sin has been pardoned. The wound which it left must also be healed." (St. John Chrysostom)   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 02:21 Healing is Found Through Forgiveness 09:10 The Wound Left Behind by Sin 16:01 Why So Many Catholics Avoid Confession 24:29 Sin Begins with Unbelief 33:56 Scrupulosity and Self-Forgiveness 37:40 How Our Image of God Becomes Wounded 58:51 Practical Ways to Prepare for Confession   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

In this episode, I chat with Fr. John Valadez—Orthodox priest and the man behind Death to the World—to talk about what it actually means to die to the world in a culture that's built to keep you comfortable, entertained, and constantly distracted.   We get into why modern life makes it almost impossible to be still, why silence feels threatening to people, and how we've replaced transformation with validation without even realizing it.   But the conversation really centers around what he's building right now—   A retreat center. A real place. On real land. Set apart.   A place where you step out of the noise, put the phone down, and actually have to face yourself… and God.   We talk about why that kind of place is necessary right now, what happens to a person when the distractions are stripped away, and why most people have never actually experienced silence long enough for anything real to happen.   It's about building something real in a world that isn't. And what it actually costs to live a serious spiritual life.   For more on Fr John, go here: https://www.sttimothy.net/ And for Death to the World, go here: https://deathtotheworld.com/ For more information on the retreat center, go here: https://youtu.be/lJejv9xL5hU?feature=shared And here: https://www.meetingofthelord.com/ Sponsor: Podsworth App: https://podsworth.com  Code: BUCK50 for HALF off your first order!
