Jesus did far more than teach His disciples information—He intentionally shaped their hearts. Throughout the Gospels, we observe how Jesus constantly formed the way they saw people, responded to brokenness, understood the mission of God, and engaged the world around them. In Matthew chapter 9, Jesus used a powerful moment with the crowds to shape His disciples into people who would eventually carry His heart and continue His ministry. In this message, we will look at how Jesus still shapes His followers today to see what He saw, feel what He felt, know what He knew, and pray what He prayed!

In the Kingdom of God, contentment is not always a virtue and discontentment is not always a sin. The issue is: Are we aligned with the heart of Jesus?

Do we draw on the example of St. Peter to preach the truth with conviction and the heart of the Good Shepherd?

In this passage from John 17:20–26, Pastor Matt Maloney draws us into Jesus' final prayer for His church—a prayer marked by deep love and eternal purpose. Jesus asks the Father for two central realities: that His people would be united as one, and that they would ultimately be with Him to see His glory. This sermon challenges us to see unity not as optional, but as essential to our witness, and to long for Christ Himself as the true goal of our faith.

**Due to a technical error, the audio of this homily is poorer than normal.**On the night Jesus gave us the Priesthood (Holy Thursday, April 2, 2026), Fr. Joshua invites us to reflect on the famous phrase from St. John Vianney: "The Priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus." The priesthood reveals the heart of Christ for his Church, and it is his gift to us. Though often misunderstood, Fr. Joshua expounds on how priestly celibacy is an essential part of this vocation: that it mirrors Christ's own heart for his people.  Jesus knew what he was doing when he gave us the Priesthood. He knew that his Church needed Fathers. We need to pray for priests, and for the Lord to raise up more laborers for his vineyard

THE HEART OF JESUS  1. Beats with Love (Matthew 11:28–29) 2. Beats with Life (John 19:31–34)  3. Beats with Scars (John 20:26–28)  4. Beats with Us (Ephesians 3:16–17)

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/033026.cfmHoly Week is not merely a historical commemoration; it is a sacred invitation to enter the deepest regions of intimacy with Jesus and Mary. As Fr. Daniel Klimek, PhD, powerfully reminds us, this is the week when Jesus gives Himself for the life of the world in total vulnerability. It is the week He institutes the Holy Eucharist and the priesthood, and ultimately, the week He dies to open the gates of Heaven. Yet, amidst the hatred, blasphemy, and violence of the Passion, there were moments of profound mercy. Jesus encountered His Mother, St. Veronica, and St. Simon of Cyrene. These encounters remind us that even in the darkest valley, the Lord allows the light of compassion to shine.The central challenge of this week is a question posed by the homily: Will Jesus see your face on the path of Calvary? Will He receive your embrace? We are called to offer “retroactive consolation.” This profound spiritual truth means that our prayers, sacrifices, and Holy Hours offered today can transcend time and space. They can reach Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane or Mary at the foot of the Cross, offering them comfort in their moments of greatest agony. When the Angel appeared to strengthen Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, part of that consolation was the foreknowledge of your love and your prayers from the 21st century. You can tell Him, “Lord, You do not have to be alone.”Father Daniel urges us to strip away the distractions of the modern age. We must turn off the shining screens, turn away from the false idols of technology, and enter into silence and solitude. This is the time to read the mystical writings in the Church's heritage, such as the works of St. Bridget of Sweden or of Ven. Mary of Agreda, which provide a vivid window into the sufferings of Christ. These texts are not mere stories; they are spiritual maps leading us into the abyss of divine love. While it is easy to be a friend in good times, true intimacy is forged in the fire of suffering. It is in our participation in and commemoration of the abandonment of Gethsemane and the silence of Calvary that we prove our love.If Lent has felt like a failure, treat Holy Week as a clean slate. Do not let the past weigh you down. Instead, stand in spirit with St. John the Apostle, St. Mary Magdalene, and Our Lady at the foot of the Cross. Offer your presence at Mass, at the foot of the altar (which is the foot of the Cross) as a gift. Let your silence speak louder than words. Jesus waits for you in the Garden; Mary waits for you at the Cross. Do not leave them alone. Your presence is the greatest consolation you can offer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. ★ Support this podcast ★

We are given a remarkable privilege in John 17 to listen in on Jesus' intimate prayer to the Father just before His crucifixion. This high priestly prayer reveals the very heart of God and His priorities for us as believers. The central theme revolves around glory, given and received between the Father and Son, and now extended to us through the Holy Spirit. We discover that our primary calling is to bring glory to God in everything we do, just as Jesus brought glory to the Father by completing the work given to Him on earth. The prayer emphasizes three transformative priorities: bringing glory to God through our lives, communicating God's truth through His Word, and going into the world as sent ones while maintaining unity. What makes this passage particularly powerful is understanding that Jesus prayed specifically for us, for all who would believe through the disciples' message. We are not of this world system anymore, yet we remain in it by divine design. Like astronauts who don't belong in space but serve a purpose there, we are protected by God's holy name as we fulfill our mission. The unity Jesus prays for isn't uniformity of opinion on every matter, but a deep spiritual oneness that reflects the Trinity itself. When the world sees believers unified around the essential truths of Christ despite our differences, they witness something supernatural that points them to the reality of Jesus as God's sent Savior.

This exploration of John 16 takes us into the heart of what it means to wait on God and discover joy in the midst of confusion and pain. We find the disciples struggling to understand Jesus's words about leaving them for a little while, only to see Him again. Their confusion mirrors our own when life takes unexpected turns, and God's plans seem unclear. The powerful analogy of childbirth reminds us that some pain leads to life, not death, and that our current sorrows can transform into unshakeable joy. What makes this joy different from worldly happiness is its source: Jesus Himself, who promises that no one can take this joy away because it's rooted in His resurrection victory. We're invited to understand prayer in a revolutionary way, not as a means to bend God's will to ours, but as alignment with His desires for our ultimate good. The Father's love for us isn't conditional or distant; He loves us right now, in this moment, exactly where we are. This message challenges us to stop seeking joy in temporary things like achievements, relationships, or circumstances, and instead anchor ourselves in the eternal reality that Christ has overcome the world. Even when trials scatter us, and difficulties threaten to overwhelm us, we can have peace because we know the ending: Jesus wins, and His victory is ours.

This powerful exploration of John 16 reminds us that following Jesus is not a comfortable cruise ship experience, but rather a battleship journey through spiritual warfare. We're challenged to reconsider our expectations of the Christian life—Jesus never promised ease, but He did promise something better: the Holy Spirit as our constant companion and helper. The Greek word 'paraclete' beautifully captures this reality—the Spirit is our comforter, counselor, and advocate who doesn't just walk beside us but actually lives within us. What makes this even more remarkable is that the Spirit's primary work isn't just personal comfort; He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment through us. This means we're not responsible for saving anyone—that's the Spirit's work—but we are called to boldly share Jesus while the Spirit does the heavy lifting of transformation. The message culminates in a stunning reminder that the Spirit's goal is always to glorify Jesus, like a movie projector that displays a captivating story without drawing attention to itself. When we grasp this truth, we realize that every trial we face, every moment of persecution or pushback for our faith, is an opportunity for the Spirit to sustain us and work through us to reach others with the hope of the gospel.

Kyle introduces guest Aaron Abke of the Jesus Way podcast, praising his focus on what Jesus taught beyond church dogma and his knowledge of Rudolf Steiner and the Law of One. After bonding over Bay Area roots and King's Academy connections, Aaron shares his upbringing in a charismatic megachurch with supernatural experiences, then describes disillusionment at a legalistic church where women required “covering,” which led him to question biblical infallibility and Paul's teachings versus Jesus'. He left Christianity, studied Alan Watts, Zen, Hinduism, and non-duality for years, but returned to Jesus' “red letters” when those paths didn't end suffering, emphasizing love, forgiveness, and deeds as salvation from present suffering. They discuss NDEs, plant medicine, service-to-others vs service-to-self, early Nazarene “Two Ways” teachings, gnosticism, the Gospel of Thomas' authenticity, reincarnation of the Christ principle, and Aaron's offerings through the Jesus Way podcast and 4D University.   Connect with Aaron here: Instagram 4D University   From Kyle: The Community is coming!

Pride is often subtle. It doesn’t always announce itself boldly. Sometimes it quietly whispers, “I deserve more.” More recognition. More comfort. More appreciation. More ease. Yet Scripture gently redirects our hearts. In Philippians 2, Paul calls us to do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but instead to value others above ourselves and adopt the mindset of Christ. The mindset of Jesus is humility. Jesus, though fully God, chose humility. He set aside comfort. He placed others before Himself. He lived for the glory of the Father, not His own recognition. He served. He sacrificed. He surrendered. Humility is a heart posture that says, “This life is not about me.”It recognizes that everything we have and everything we are is from God, through God, and for God. When pride creeps in—when we feel overlooked, underappreciated, or entitled—we are invited back to the cross. Back to the One who modeled perfect humility. Reflecting the heart of Jesus means choosing service over status, surrender over self-promotion, and obedience over applause. As we lower ourselves before Him, we actually draw closer to His heart. And in that place of humility, we honor the One who gave everything for us. Main Takeaways Pride can subtly shape our expectations and desires. Humility begins with recognizing that life is about God’s glory, not our own. Jesus modeled sacrificial, servant-hearted humility. Valuing others above ourselves reflects Christ’s mindset. True honor comes from living for God, not seeking recognition from people. Today’s Bible Verse Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus. (Philippians 2:3-5) Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Lord, I desire the humility you modeled.

At the heart of the Sermon on the Mount lies a prayer that has shaped Christian faith for two millennia—the Lord's Prayer. This message invites us to rediscover this ancient prayer not as empty repetition, but as a transformative spiritual practice that calibrates our hearts daily toward God. We're challenged to move beyond our Protestant hesitancy about liturgy and ritual, recognizing that these practices aren't religious trappings but essential disciplines that align our minds, hearts, and souls with divine truth. The prayer's structure is profound: twelve lines divided into two movements—the first addressing God's holiness, kingdom, and will; the second focusing on our communal needs for provision, forgiveness, and deliverance. Notice how Jesus never uses 'me' or 'I'—it's always 'us' and 'our,' reminding us that faith is inherently communal. When we pray 'Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,' we acknowledge that God's will isn't automatically enacted here—we're participants in bringing heaven to earth. This prayer isn't just instruction; it's Jesus sharing his own heart with us. When we recite these words thoughtfully, we participate in the very experience of Christ, echoing his submission in Gethsemane. The challenge before us is to make this prayer a daily ritual—not mindless recitation, but genuine heart engagement that shapes our character and transforms how we see the world.

What if the greatest comfort in our darkest moments isn't found in someone standing beside us, but in Someone dwelling within us? This powerful exploration of John 14:15-31 reveals a truth that should transform how we view our relationship with God: through the Holy Spirit, Jesus isn't just near us—He's actually in us. We discover that when Jesus told His disciples He was leaving, He wasn't abandoning them to face life alone. Instead, He promised to send 'another helper' of the exact same kind as Himself—the Holy Spirit—who would be with them forever. The message beautifully unpacks how our obedience to Jesus flows not from obligation but from love, much like how our actions naturally demonstrate what we truly care about. We're reminded that God doesn't move into 'new builds' but into 'fixer-uppers'—meaning we don't need to clean ourselves up before coming to Him. He specializes in broken people who realize they can't help themselves. Perhaps most strikingly, we learn that the Father and Son have chosen to make their home in us through the Spirit. This isn't distant divine observation; this is intimate, transformative presence. The peace Jesus offers isn't circumstantial like the world's temporary fixes—it's eternal, unshakeable, and rooted in our permanent adoption as God's beloved children. No persecution, hardship, or trial can ever steal what Christ has secured for us.

This powerful message takes us into John 14, where Jesus comforts His anxious disciples with some of the most profound truths in Scripture. We're confronted with a question that cuts to the heart of our daily lives: when our hearts are troubled and life gets frightening, where do we run? Jesus offers a radical prescription for anxiety—not self-help strategies or temporary distractions, but complete trust in Him and the Father. The imagery of the Father's house with many rooms isn't about mansions in the sky, but about family, belonging, and eternal relationship with God. What makes heaven truly heaven isn't the absence of pain or the presence of perfection—it's being with Jesus forever. We're challenged to examine whether we actually want Jesus Himself, or just the benefits He offers. The controversial declaration that Jesus is 'the way, the truth, and the life' isn't exclusivity for its own sake, but the most inclusive exclusivity imaginable—anyone and everyone can come home to God through Christ. This message reminds us that worry is often pride in disguise, a form of trusting ourselves rather than casting all our anxieties on the God who genuinely cares for us. The call to believe isn't intellectual agreement, but wholehearted trust—like a child putting their full weight on a parent's shoulders.

In John 13:31-38, we encounter Jesus in an upper room on the eve of his arrest, delivering what scholars call the Farewell Discourse—his final instructions to those he loved most. What strikes us immediately is how Jesus frames his impending crucifixion: not as tragedy, but as glory. Five times he uses the word 'glorify,' revealing that the cross is the ultimate display of God's character—his holiness, grace, justice, sovereignty, and humility all radiating from that brutal instrument of execution. This challenges our natural understanding of glory. We expect brilliance and honor, yet Jesus shows us glory in brokenness, power in sacrifice, and divine character in suffering. The cross becomes our grand central station, the place we continually return to when we question God's love, doubt our standing with him, or need our worship refueled. But Jesus doesn't stop with explanation—he pivots to instruction. Calling his disciples 'little children' with tender affection, he elevates the command to love by making himself the new standard. No longer is self-love our measuring stick; now we're called to love others the way Jesus loved us—sacrificially, mercifully, graciously, even when it's uncomfortable, inconvenient, or unreciprocated. This love becomes our defining trait, the bold headline of our faith, making Jesus visible to a watching world through how we treat one another, especially those with whom we disagree.

The Grateful Heart of Jesus Mark 14:22-24

In this episode of the Jesus Everyday Podcast, Ethan Callison and Andrew McPheron open John 7:14–24, where Jesus steps into the temple during the Feast of Booths and teaches with divine authority — without any formal credentials. The religious leaders are shocked: “How does this man have learning, when he has never studied?”Jesus responds not with defensiveness, but with truth: “My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me.”
