In this message, Pastor Justin shares the heart behind our mission and vision at WoodsEdge. We long to see Houston become a city of God—a place transformed by revival. But vision alone isn't enough. Justin unpacks how Jesus calls us to Love God and Love People and how that becomes our daily mission to Love Jesus, Journey Together, and Bring Hope to the world around us.
Do you know Jesus' love languages? Just like anyone else, we can't just love Jesus however we feel like, we need to know and to learn and to come to discover what pleases Him! The apostles learned by closely living with Jesus what it looked like to love Him and be a part of His community. And if we learn from them how they taught the earliest Christians to love Jesus, we can then discover what it looks like to love Him together today!

Love People?”, we explore Jesus' powerful lesson on mercy over tradition, drawn from Matthew 12 and Mark 2. When the Pharisees condemned His disciples for eating grain on the Sabbath, Jesus reminded them that God desires mercy, not sacrifice. This message calls us to examine our own hearts: Do we love people, or are we trapped in judgment and religion? Through Scripture, we uncover how the Holy Spirit transforms our minds, fills our hearts with compassion, and helps us bear good fruit—not through performance, but through love.
Brad reminds us that it is impossible to Love Jesus and not love the church.
Jesus and Therapy? Yes. You can have both. — with Charles MortensenLet's not sugarcoat it:Needing help doesn't mean you're weak. It means you're done pretending.And therapy? It's not a betrayal of your faith. It's how some of us finally start to breathe again.We've been told:“You just need to pray more.”“Therapy is for people who don't trust God.”“If you were really spiritual, you wouldn't struggle.”Lies.Straight-up lies that have kept too many of us silently drowning.In this raw and honest conversation, licensed therapist and Jesus-loving soul Charles Mortensen pulls back the curtain on what real healing looks like—not just spiritual, but emotional, mental, and rooted in truth.This episode is for:The ones who still show up to church but feel numb insideThe ones who've prayed until their voice cracked but still feel stuckThe ones who love Jesus but don't know how to face the wounds they buriedWe're unpacking:What therapy can do that church sometimes can'tThe secret signs someone's breaking—even when they look “fine”How unhealed trauma distorts your view of GodWhy therapy isn't less spiritual—but often the most Spirit-led thing you can doAnd the moments of breakthrough that change everythingIf you're barely holding it together behind a Sunday smile, this is your wake-up call.Stop letting shame have the mic.Stop calling pain “just a phase.”Stop waiting for healing to happen without stepping into it.Jesus heals. And sometimes, He uses a therapist's office to do it.So press play. Let this episode hit you in the soul.Because healing isn't just possible—it's necessary. It grows us to be the version God intends for us to be.you don't have to carry it all alone anymore.Listen now. Send it to someone who's been hiding their pain. And start the journey.Because freedom is calling—and you are not meant to walk towards it alone.
1. We should have an attitude of love towards Jesus (v. 1-11).2. We should act like we love Jesus (v. 12-19).
Justin Hibbard concludes our series on the Catholic approach to prayer by addressing the claim made by many Evangelicals: “Religion is man's way to get to God; Christianity is God's way to get to man.” Is that true? Is all religious practices Pharisaical and a distraction from a relationship with Jesus? Or does religion actually help us pursue the heart of God?Subscribe to Why Catholic? wherever you get your podcasts.Check out the Why Catholic Etsy shop (all proceeds support this podcast).Become a free subscriber or a patron of Why Catholic? and get the next episode and a discount code to the Why Catholic Etsy shop in your email inbox.Follow Why Catholic on Instagram.Subscribe to Why Catholic on YouTube.SHOW NOTES:* Why I Hate Religion but Love Jesus by Jeff Bethke* Bishop Barron on "Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus"* Fr.

David Mathis | At the end of his Gospel, John gives us a grand finale of the mercy, wisdom, greatness, and never-ending glory of Jesus Christ.
Leadership Rooted in Love: Jesus' Question to Peter, Our Call Today The Homily centers on two key scripture narratives: . . . . . . Paul's bold proclamation of the resurrection and Peter's dialogue with Jesus after the resurrection. Paul, under arrest, uses every opportunity . . . his Jewish heritage and Roman citizenship . . . to proclaim that Jesus is risen. His unwavering faith challenges both religious authorities and societal norms, showing that trials can be transformed into testimonies. Do You Love Me In the Gospel, Jesus asks Peter three times, “Do you love me?” . . . each question probing deeper into the nature of Peter's love, moving from sacrificial love (agape) to friendship (philia). Jesus meets Peter at his level but calls him higher, toward a leadership rooted in self-giving love. True discipleship, and leadership in the Church, requires putting Christ above all . . . above family, possessions, and even livelihood. The Homily concludes by inviting all Christians to follow Paul's courage and Peter's transformation: to proclaim Jesus by the way we live, love, and lead, imitating Christ's sacrificial love. Listen to this Meditation Media. Listen to: Leadership Rooted in Love: Jesus' Question to Peter, Our Call Today -------------------------------------------------------------- Quote From the Homily He can only be a leader if he becomes, first of all, a disciple of Jesus. And a disciple of Jesus is the one who loves with the love that is sacrificial. This is why at the end, Jesus says to him. Follow me . . . love as I have loved, give up yourself as I have given up yourself. Leadership in the church is a leadership that sacrifices itself for its ship. Oftentimes, the world suggests a view of leadership. That is completely different from the leadership of Jesus because the leadership in the church of Jesus is a leadership that is based on love. -------------------------------------------------------------- Pope Peter : Flemish Artist and Painter: Peter Paul Rubens: 1611 -------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: John 21: 15-19 First Reading: Acts 25: 13-21

Jack hates school. The lectures on algebra, grammar, and the periodic table bore him. But he loves building houses. His father takes him to work in the summer, and Jack can’t get enough. He’s only sixteen but he knows about cement, shingles, and how to frame a wall. What’s the difference between school and construction? Love. Jack loves one and not the other. His love fuels knowledge. As believers in Jesus, we’re to “love the truth” (2 Thessalonians 2:10). Paul says a satanic figure will use “signs and wonders” (v. 9) to deceive “those who are perishing” (v. 10). Why are they perishing? “They refused to love the truth and so be saved” (v. 10). Their failure to love the truth blinds them from knowing it. They’ll be duped (v. 11). What do we know? That important question depends on a more basic one: what do we love? Our passions incline our heart and direct our mind. We cherish what we love. We protect it and seek more of it. If we love truth and wisdom we’ll search for them as precious gold (Proverbs 4:7-9). They’ll guard us. “Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you” (4:6). What is true wisdom? Jesus says it’s Him. “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6). Our most important question is who do we love? Love Jesus and you’ll learn His way. He’ll guard your life by guiding you into His truth.
Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
Sometimes, God answers your prayers in a way you don't expect. That's how Jennifer's journey began. She and her husband had been married for 30 years, with three beautiful daughters. On the outside, everything seemed steady—but inside, Jennifer was silently struggling. Depression, anxiety, deep wounds from trauma, and the weight of parenting adult children had left her feeling exhausted and emotionally distant from her husband. She was in a dark place. But God. Her husband was the first to find Delight Your Marriage. Quietly, he joined our men's program. At first, he didn't even tell Jennifer. She just started to notice something changing. A peace in him. A gentleness. A stronger connection to God. Moved by what she saw, Jennifer said yes to his invitation to explore the women's program. What followed was a spiritual discipleship journey that would not only transform her marriage—it would transform her heart. How Christian Marriage Coaching Transformed Her Heart One line within the program touched Jennifer's heart: “I needed to love Jesus more than my pain.” It wasn't even directed at her during the call, but something about it resonated so deeply with her. She realized that in her grief and disconnection, she had allowed pain to take a front seat in her heart. But Jesus wanted her whole heart. She confronted lies she had believed about herself, her marriage, and her role as a mother and wife—and let God's truth replace them. She allowed God to break the chains of shame and fear, and instead chose freedom and forgiveness. Emotional and Physical Intimacy in Marriage Restored One of the most beautiful outcomes of Jennifer's story is the transformation in her intimacy with her husband! “It wasn't about frequency,” she said. “It was about connection. And now we're truly connecting—emotionally, spiritually, physically. We're more vulnerable, more united, and more in love.” That emotional and spiritual shift opened a door to true intimacy—something both of them had longed for but never fully accessed. And it all started when she began to let God love her—and let herself believe it. How Christian Marriage Help Can Impact Parenting Jennifer is a mother to three adult daughters. And though parenting adults has its own challenges, her healing began to spill over into her family life. With newfound clarity on how women are designed by God to be loved—safe, known, and whole-heartedly cherished—Jennifer began to understand how to mother her adult daughters in a way that honors their hearts. She started recognizing what they needed emotionally, just like she had discovered in herself. Even though parenting adult children can be complicated and painful, she now walks in hope—not shame. God is restoring what was broken. Handling Conflict in Marriage Without Spiraling Jennifer and her husband also found a new way to approach emotional triggers. They call it “spiraling.” This emotional awareness and God-centered communication brought a new peace to their marriage. They don't fight the way they used to. Now, they support each other through those low moments and move forward with unity. A Message to the Wife Who Feels Hopeless in Her Marriage When I asked Jennifer what she'd say to a woman in the same spot she once was, her answer was so honest and full of faith: “There's hope in Jesus. Be brave. Even if your husband is the problem, you can still change your heart—and it can change your marriage.” She continued: “This program has figured out how to help you out of crisis. Even if you're emotionally shut down, even if you feel like things can't get better—they absolutely can. God is in the business of healing, and He uses this process to restore hearts and homes.” The Power of a Women's Christian Coaching Community Jennifer also found healing through the community of women she met through the program. “It was such a gift to talk about things we never could talk about with friends—especially around sex and intimacy. The support, the prayer, the connection... it's unlike anything I've ever experienced. Women need this.” She felt seen, supported, and strengthened by walking this journey with other women in a safe, faith-filled environment. Christian Marriage Healing: A Beautiful New Chapter Today, Jennifer says her marriage is more joyful, more tender, and more united than ever before. They've always been best friends—but now they're more emotionally connected, spiritually aligned, and fully present for one another. “There's nothing I can't share with him now,” she said. “God gave us a beautiful marriage—but now we're living it with freedom, honesty, and deep love.” Final Thoughts We are so thankful for work that God did in this marriage and the way it not only impacted Jennifer and her spouse, but their children and future generations. He truly is a God of redemption. With love, The DYM Team PS - If you're ready to take the next step and join a community of like-minded people wanting to build their marriages God's way, we would love to hear from you: delightyourmarriage.com/cc PPS - Here is a quote from (another) recent graduate: "I was on the verge of separating from my husband. Things had taken such a turn for the worse between us that life was not sustainable for me as things were going. My husband joined the program and I noticed some changes in him. Things started improving but we had a lot of healing to do; I had a lot of healing to do...We've been to several counselors before this point and my husband wasn't interested in finding another one. He had asked me to join the Delighted Wife program before but things were too broken and I was not willing to do a program that I thought was only about getting me to have more sex with him...But, after seeing him change some and knowing we needed help, I agreed to the program. While sex was a part of Delighted Wife, there were so many other areas for me to focus on first. It laid the foundation for a better and healthier relationship overall. The intimacy part follows."
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.
Jesus asks Peter, "Do you love me?" three times, underscoring the Lord's loving response to our human weaknesses by meeting us where we are and inviting us to love as God loves us. (Lectionary #48) May 3, 2025 - Cathedral of Christ the King - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com
