As summer approaches, let's prioritize slowing down, evaluating priorities, and the power of community in supporting one another through life's challenges.  Let's lean into reading the Bible slowly, a practice that prompted this episode as it showed me something in the story of Jesus raising Lazarus which I had never noticed before, Jesus wants us to have help!Get all the Scripture references and resources mentioned in this eposide: www.jennyzentz.com/podcast-get-helpAnd please don't forget to subscribe, share, rate, and review.

Anxiety is real—and many young Catholics struggle with it silently, unsure if faith alone should “fix it.” In this episode, we open up the conversation around mental health, faith, and healing. We explore how anxiety doesn't make you a bad Catholic—and how real interior freedom starts with radical honesty before God.Drawing from Interior Freedom by Fr. Jacques Philippe (pp. 43–44), we reflect on how peace doesn't come from escaping our struggles, but from accepting our limits and leaning into grace. This is an honest, hope-filled conversation for anyone who's ever wrestled with anxiety and wondered where God is in the midst of it.

Have you ever wondered why Jesus chose turning water into wine as his first miracle? This fascinating exploration of John 2 reveals how this seemingly simple act carries profound significance beyond the supernatural event itself.At a wedding celebration in Cana, when the hosts embarrassingly run out of wine, Jesus transforms ordinary water into extraordinary wine—not just any wine, but the finest quality that astonishes the headwaiter. Yet what's truly remarkable isn't just the transformation of elements, but how Jesus accomplishes this miracle through ordinary, humble servants who choose to obey despite their lack of understanding.The story highlights a consistent pattern in Jesus' ministry: he regularly steps over cultural dividing lines to reach the forgotten, the outcast, and the humble. While our world often separates people into categories of success based on wealth, beauty, or power, Jesus demonstrates that in God's kingdom, there's only one dividing line—between the proud and the humble.Many of us miss experiencing God's miracles because we're trapped in internal dialogues of fear, doubt, and insecurity. We talk ourselves out of our own blessings by overthinking, overanalyzing, and ultimately failing to take steps of obedience. The servants at the wedding could have easily dismissed Jesus' strange request to fill massive jars with water, yet their simple obedience placed them at the center of divine activity.Your step of faith today might seem small and insignificant, but it holds potential far beyond what you can imagine. Like those servants who simply filled water jars, your obedience can lead to others seeing Jesus and believing in him. Don't settle for mediocre faith—God wants to do miracles in and through your life if you'll step forward despite your doubts and uncertainties.What blessing might be waiting on the other side of your obedience? What miracle could God perform through your life that impacts someone else's faith journey? As John's Gospel reminds us, these stories were written "so that you may believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."

What keeps you up at night? What is in your heart that you wish you could share with someone who cares? In this Holy Thursday meditation, Jesus gathers you tightly into his embrace as he looks in to your eyes and says: "When will you give all this to me?"

Why would Jesus want me?

Who is your neighbor, and what does it really mean to love them? Guest speaker JT Riley from Local Point Church in North Carolina unpacks Luke 10:25-37, where Jesus challenges us to move beyond self-preservation and take real action. Loving others means putting them first, showing mercy, being hospitable, and living generously. So, who is the Holy Spirit putting on your heart right now? Will you obey, or will you walk away? And what's your next step in receiving the love of Jesus?

Released in 2005, it combines personal anecdotes, biblical reflection, and cultural observations. Bell uses the metaphor of a velvet Elvis painting to illustrate how spirituality can be vibrant and flexible, rather than rigid and outdated. Key themes include the importance of questioning beliefs, the significance of community, and the notion that faith should adapt to new insights and experiences. Bell emphasizes the transformative power of love and grace, urging Christians to engage authentically with their beliefs and the world around them. The book has sparked discussions and debates within Christian circles, highlighting its impact on contemporary faith discussions.Chapter 2 Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell Summary"Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith" by Rob Bell is a book that explores the nature of faith, spirituality, and the way religious concepts can be reshaped for contemporary understanding. Here's a summary of its key themes and ideas:Metaphor of the Velvet Elvis: The title refers to a velvet painting of Elvis Presley that Bell encountered. He uses this metaphor to illustrate how faith can be flexible and must be continually refreshed. Just as a painting can be altered, so can our understanding of spiritual truths.Reimagination of Christian Faith: Bell encourages readers to move beyond rigid beliefs and embrace a more dynamic, questioning faith. He argues that faith should be a journey of discovery rather than a set of dogmas to adhere to.Emphasis on Love over Judgment: One of the central themes of the book is that love should be the foundation of Christian faith rather than judgment or exclusion. Bell emphasizes the inclusive nature of Jesus' message, advocating for acceptance and love towards all individuals.Reevaluation of Biblical Texts: Bell suggests that traditional interpretations of the Bible can be limiting and encourages readers to rethink their understanding of Scripture in light of historical context and personal experience.Community and Relationships: The book highlights the importance of community in faith. Bell believes that engaging with others in meaningful relationships is crucial for spiritual growth and understanding.Questioning Certainty: Bell challenges the need for certainty in faith, suggesting that doubt can lead to deeper understanding and exploration. He encourages embracing questions and uncertainties as a vital part of the spiritual journey.The Role of Experience: Personal experience and encounter with the divine are emphasized as integral aspects of faith. Bell advocates for a faith that is lived out in everyday life, rather than solely confined to doctrine.In summary, "Velvet Elvis" invites readers to rethink their approach to Christianity, advocating for a more open, loving, and inquiry-driven faith that evolves with the individual's experiences and insights.Chapter 3 Velvet Elvis AuthorRob Bell is an American author, speaker, and former pastor known for his innovative and often controversial approach to Christianity.

Jesus comes down into our mess, for our happiness. In this life and in the life to come.  

Believers beware: What we come for and what Jesus chooses to do in our life might be very different. Listen to Matthew's reflection on what we can learn from the faith of the crowds in today's gospel and what we can expect if we decide to get close to Jesus.

In Luke 24:36-43, after His resurrection, Jesus wanted to demonstrate His presence to His followers. He desired to help them to believe. Like the disciples, we all need an encounter with the risen Lord Jesus. Our God is a God of the supernatural, but often we don't recognise His presence or even attribute it to something else. This encouraging message will inspire you to engage with the risen Christ by His Spirit, for 'Jesus Wants You To Know He's Alive!'.
