In Week Six, the final episode of our Advent–Epiphany series, we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany and reflect on Saint Joseph as the first adorer of Christ.Using Matthew 2:1–12, we explore the visit of the Magi—not with all the answers, but with curiosity, imagination, and wonder. Did they know who they were looking for? Did they bring the “right” gifts on purpose? And what does that mean for how we show up before Jesus today?This conversation moves gently into:Why presence is often the greatest gift we can offer GodHow Adoration doesn't require expertise—just honestyWhat to do when prayer feels boring, intimidating, or out of reachThe role of poverty, humility, boundaries, and community in the spiritual lifeWhy God uses our natural gifts, personalities, and even our emptinessWe also share practical encouragement for anyone new to adoration or feeling stuck in their faith: start small, stay curious, and let God meet you where you are............

In Week Five of our Advent to Epiphany series, we focus on Saint Joseph, Head of the Holy Family, and the reality of responding to God when life feels anything but calm. Using the story of the Flight into Egypt, this episode explores what it looks like to hear God's voice in the middle of fear, disruption, and uncertainty—and still move forward.We talk honestly about the tension between wanting peace and feeling overwhelmed, the discomfort of prayer, and the challenge of trusting God when we don't feel ready or capable. Saint Joseph doesn't say much in Scripture, but his actions show us how to lead, protect, and surrender—one faithful step at a time.If you've ever felt like you're not enough, unsure of the next move, or stretched beyond your comfort zone, this conversation is for you.Scripture Focus Matthew 2:13–15, 19–23HighlightsResponding to God instead of the noise around usWhy discomfort might be a sign we're actually listeningTrusting God with what He's placed in front of us—family, faith, and daily responsibilities..............................
