Numbers 33-34
They were all soldiers under one general, taken captive in the time of Licinius for their faith in Christ. They were stripped naked and cast onto a frozen lake at Sebastia in Pontus. They endured the entire night, encouraging each other to be patient. Some accounts say that their persecutors placed warm baths in their sight on the shore to entice them to renounce Christ. Finally one of their number, broken by his sufferings, apostatized and left the company. One of the guards, named Aglaius, saw in a vision thirty-nine wreaths descending from heaven onto the heads of the faithful sufferers, and was moved to declare himself a Christian. He was immediately sent to join the martyrs on the frozen lake, keeping the number of forty complete. In the morning all of them, almost dead, were cast into fire, and their remains thrown in the lake. On the third day the martyrs appeared to Peter, the local bishop, and told him to search for them in the lake. The bishop went to the lake on a dark night with his clergy, and one account says that the bones of the martyrs rose to the surface and burned there like a candle. The relics were gathered and given honorable burial. This is the most common account. The Prologue gives a somewhat different version, in which the martyrs were made to stand, not on the frozen lake, but in the freezing waters.
Num 10:1-11:23, Mark 14:1-21, Ps 51:1-19, Pr 10:31-32
Read OnlineJesus said to the people in the synagogue at Nazareth: “Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place.” Luke 4:24 Do you recognize Christ's presence in others? Do you sense His divine presence all around you? In today's Gospel, the people of Nazareth did not. Jesus, the Son of God, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, stood in their midst, yet they failed to see Him for who He truly was. Many of them had watched Jesus grow up, knew His family, and were familiar with His work as a carpenter. However, they could not look beyond the surface to perceive the divine reality in their midst. Though our Lord is not present to us today in the same way He was to the people of Nazareth, He is still with us in countless other ways—through grace, within the Sacraments, in the Scriptures, and in the lives of those around us. Yet how often do we fail to notice His presence in these familiar places? In today's Gospel, Jesus recognizes the hardness of heart among many in His hometown. He responds by recalling two stories about Elijah and Elisha—prophets who performed miracles for Gentiles rather than Israelites, because the Israelites lacked faith. Jesus' message was clear: The people of Nazareth also lacked faith, and as a result, He would perform no miracles for them. This message enraged the people so much that they attempted to throw Him off a cliff. However, Jesus “passed through the midst of them and went away.” Imagine how dramatic that scene must have been! Sometimes, we all need what could be called a “provocative holy drama” in our lives. Just as Jesus challenged the people of Nazareth for their spiritual blindness, we need to be shaken from our complacency. God uses these moments to awaken us to His presence—whether in the Scriptures, the Sacraments, or the people around us. These “holy dramas” are not meant to condemn but to invite us into a deeper awareness of His love and presence. Try to imagine yourself as a member of Jesus' hometown. Those of us raised in the Catholic faith, attending Mass regularly, and striving to live as faithful Catholics can sometimes fall into a spiritual routine. The more familiar we become with God's Church, the easier it can be to overlook His presence in the most ordinary of places. When that happens, God may use moments of “holy drama” to awaken us from our spiritual slumber. These moments are invitations to recognize His presence where we might have taken it for granted. Reflect today on what it would mean to be in the crowd at Nazareth. Approach this reflection humbly and sincerely. Allow Jesus' loving challenge to the people of His hometown to resonate in your own heart. Rather than defend yourself, welcome His gentle rebuke, letting it awaken you to His presence in the familiar. Seek Him with renewed attentiveness, and allow Him to lead you more deeply into His love. My provoking Lord, Your love for the people of Your hometown led You to challenge their lack of faith. When I fall into spiritual blindness and fail to recognize Your presence, please awaken me. With Your love, shake me from any complacency so that I may grow in faith and become more attentive to You, especially in the familiar and the ordinary. Jesus, I trust in You.Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Numbers 28-30
These seven holy Bishops give a vivid picture of the dangers endured by those who traveled to proclaim the Gospel of Christ in the early centuries of the Church. All seven were sent as missionary bishops to Cherson on the Black Sea, and all seven died there as Martyrs. Hermon, Bishop of Jerusalem, first sent Ephraim and Basileus; Basileus raised the son of the prince of Cherson to life, after which many believed and were baptized. The unbelievers, though, bound him by the feet and dragged him through the streets until he died. Ephraim was beheaded when he refused to make sacrifice to the idols. Eugenios, Agathodoros, and Elpidios were then sent by the Bishop of Jerusalem; they were beaten to death with rods and stones. Aetherius was sent during the reign of Constantine the Great, and was able to govern the Church in freedom and peace, and to build a church in Cherson. Capito, the last to be sent, brought the Gospel to the fierce Scythians. To prove the power of his God, they asked him to go into a burning furnace, saying that if he was not consumed, they would believe. Putting all his trust in God, the holy Bishop vested himself, made the sign of the Cross, and entered the furnace. He stood in the flames, fervently praying, for an hour, and came out untouched. The spectators cried out 'There is one God, the great and powerful God of the Christians, who keeps His servant safe in the burning furnace!', and all those in the town and the surrounding countryside were baptized. This miracle was spoken of at the Council of Nicea (325). Later, Scythian unbelievers captured Capito and drowned him in the River Dnieper. The Prologue says that Aetherios ended his life in peace; the Great Horologion, that he was drowned. All these holy missionaries labored around the beginning of the fourth century.

Holy war? Resource war? Either way, it's illegal. In this special bonus episode on the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, I am joined by Leigh Larson, who breaks down how and why Christian nationalism and religious extremism might be the true motivator behind the US/Israel war with Iran. Leigh studied International Relations, African Studies, and Environmental Science at The University of Texas at Austin. She also served in the US Air Force Reserve Chaplain Corps as a Chaplain Candidate during her time in seminary. Since then, she's been exploring and documenting the rise of Christina nationalism within the military and our US political system.

CNN is re-airing their special on the rise of Christian nationalism — and I'm re-releasing this conversation with Tia Levings because it is more relevant now than when it first aired. Tia will be featured in the CNN special, and her book A Well-Trained Wife went viral on YouTube after this episode first dropped (with "wife spanking" landing in the top four search terms — yes, really).

In this conversation, we go deep on: What "quiverfull" ideology really is — and how it connects to the tradwife movement today Christian domestic discipline (aka non-consensual BDSM in church clothes) The "fundy baby voice" — what it is, who's using it, and why it matters politically Why joy is now an act of rebellion against high-control systems How to resist without burning out — and why rest counts as resistance What Tia thinks is actually keeping us safer right now (it might surprise you) Timestamps: 0:00 – Re-intro + why this episode is back 1:00 – Original intro from the Re-Invention Room 3:25 – Tia's story begins: mainstream Christianity to fundamentalism 7:31 – What "quiverfull" really means 10:16 – "Hitting me was no longer taboo.

After six and a half years and more than 300 episodes, I took a month away from the podcast to rest, spend time with my family, and tend to my own heart. When it felt right to return, there was only one person I wanted to talk with. Stephanie — Keyan's mom — was the very first bereaved mother I ever interviewed when this podcast began. Even before that, she was someone I met in a grief support group just weeks after Andy died. She was further down the road of child loss than I was, and I remember quietly watching her, wondering how she was still standing. Somewhere in that watching was a small hope: If she can do this, maybe I can too. Now, eight and a half years into her grief journey, Stephanie shares honestly about what life looks like today. She talks about the days that still knock her off her feet, the complicated guilt that can come with laughing or enjoying time with her living children, and how grief doesn't disappear—it changes shape. For five years, Stephanie poured herself into serving other grieving families at Starlight Ministries. It was good work. Holy work. But somewhere along the way, the work that once helped her heal began to crowd out her own healing. As her therapist told her, "Anything you give energy to takes away from your healing energy." So she stepped away. We talk about what it means to reassess. To recognize when something that once brought relief no longer does. To admit that even good, sacred things can become too much. Together we talk about: • what it means to be years into grief and still hurting • the tension of holding joy and sorrow at the same time • the freedom of allowing grief to change as the years pass • the difference between being healed and being cured This episode is about scars, seasons, and the quiet courage it takes to keep learning your grief as it changes. If you are years into loss and wondering why it still hurts sometimes… you are not alone.

We received many questions about how God is presented in the Old Testament verses the New Testament. We will be dividing these questions into three separate theology nights. Tonight we will be looking at the Mosaic Law as a whole. In what way can we say the law is "holy, just, and good" (Romans 7:12)? What about the laws that are challenging, and that many skeptics claim are not good? Join us for a deep dive into the first five books of Moses as we see just how holy, just, and good the law is, and tackle the skeptics questions head on! Come with your own question too.

In this episode of The Grove Podcast, Shelley Gigilo sits down with her friend and longtime Grove girl, Jennie Lusko. Jennie Lusko is a best-selling author, podcast host, wife, mom of five, and she pastors Fresh Life Church alongside her husband, Levi. Shelley and Jennie have a heartfelt conversation about becoming the women God designed us to be. Together they reflect on the surprising ways God prepares us for our callings long before we understand them, and how flourishing often comes through seasons of difficulty, perseverance, and small acts of obedience. Jennie shares candidly about marriage, motherhood, loss, and the slow, steady growth that happens when we plant ourselves in community. Shelley offers wisdom on practicing obedience, cultivating awareness, and fighting the good fight of faith — even when we don't feel it. Their conversation is full of encouragement for women who are in the in-between seasons, waiting for fruit, longing for clarity, or navigating the tensions of real life. It's a reminder that God is faithful in every step, and that we flourish best when we walk together. The Grove is an extension of all God is doing at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

Developmental behavioral pediatrician Roxanne Almas discusses her article "The making of a rested healer." Roxanne shares her deeply personal journey through the "quiet unraveling" of burnout and the profound grief of losing both parents. She describes how she moved away from the cold efficiency of modern medicine to rediscover her "right brain" through creativity and intuition. The conversation explores the practice of Yoga Nidra as a portal to healing, challenging the "grind culture" of health care by framing rest not as a reward, but as a radical right. Roxanne draws powerful comparisons to aviation and athletics, arguing that just as pilots require rest for safety, physicians need a "Rest Ethic" to preserve their humanity and competence.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has reportedly received complains by over 100 soldiers alleging that they are being instructed that the war in Iran is part of a Biblical plan to bring about the end of the world - Armageddon. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, also accused Iranian leadership of making decisions “on the basis of theology - their view of theology, which is an apocalyptic one.” Rubio argued that Israel forced the United States into attacking, which was contrary to the White House position days previous when they said Israel attacking first was good optics. President Trump followed this up by saying it was his “opinion” that Iran would attack an unknown target with unknown means, ultimately contradicting Rubio. President Trump has was gifted not merely hundreds of millions of dollars by Miriam Adelson, but labeled the “savior” of the Jewish people by the same. Trump has also received the Israel Prize and was given the Keter Yerushalayim (Crown of Jerusalem). Although some rabbis disagree, others believe that Trump is a “messiah” figure, if not the Moshiach, a future Jewish king, or at the very least, a savior to lead the Jewish people. However, this Jewish messiah will also be the antichrist of the Christians and the al-Dajjāl of the Muslims. Having been branded the “peace President” while bringing genocide in Gaza and war with Iran, Trump has fulfilled the caricature vision of the antichrist's promises of peace. But all of this is about optics and framing, not about literal prophecy. In fact, there are three types of Armageddons: the metaphorical one that refers to the change of the seasons (also, Apocalypse) and the internal struggle between good and evil; the Hollywood version that includes nuclear weapons and mass death; and the one in-between that is created by misunderstanding the former and embracing the latter. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/troops-being-told-prepare-armageddon-164235865.html https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/2026/03/secretary-of-state-marco-rubio-remarks-to-press-6 https://x.com/DearthOfSid/status/2028733657285083633 https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/25/white-house-politics-israel-strikes-iran-00799456 https://x.com/FoxNews/status/2028880756890624443*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Why did Moses smash the tablets and why were the broken pieces placed in the Holy of Holies alongside the whole ones? In this heart-open class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores one of the most powerful and surprising teachings in Torah: that brokenness is not the opposite of holiness, it can be its doorway. Drawing on the story of the Golden Calf, the teachings of the Talmud, Midrash, and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, this class reveals how Judaism embraces both the “whole tablets” and the “broken tablets” of our lives. Together we explore how pain, setbacks, doubt, and struggle can become catalysts for deeper connection, compassion, and spiritual growth. The message is both radical and comforting: the fragments of our lives may contain the deepest light.Key TakeawaysHoliness is not limited to moments of perfection; it can emerge from our struggles and broken experiences.The broken tablets in the Ark teach that failure and fracture still belong in the sacred space of our lives.Sometimes our deepest connection to G-d happens not when we feel strong, but when we feel vulnerable and searching.Brokenness can soften our hearts and deepen our compassion for others.The Torah teaches that new wisdom and deeper growth often emerge after moments of spiritual collapse.Our lives contain both “whole tablets” and “broken tablets” and both are part of the sacred journey.#Judaism #Kabbalah #Jewish #BrokenTablets #Moses #GoldenCalf #JewishWisdom #spiritualgrowth #JewishInspiration #FaithInStruggle #TorahInsights #chassidus #personalgrowth #healing #resilience #MeaningInSuffering #RabbiBernath #JewishNDG #TorahClass Available now:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Audiobook: https://bit.ly/4tPFZhVSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?
