Podcasts about Ponder

Kim and Marc dive into Sam Ponder's recent interview on Sage Steele's podcast, where the former ESPN host opens up about her controversial firing. Ponder's unapologetic stance on biological reality — tweeting “XY = male, XX = female” — collided with Disney's activist wing, despite quiet agreement from many higher-ups. The hosts highlight the chilling effect of woke corporate culture and touch on the broader implications, including their own behind-the-scenes media experiences and the problem with taxpayer-funded liberal bias in public broadcasting. Kim also recounts her own KMOV experience dealing with editorial roadblocks when trying to report on COVID shot reactions.

Today on "Don't@ME", Ponder exposes ESPN, Shaq loses his mind + Shane Gillis, NIL executive order and Shemar Stewart fallout. Plus, Former NFL All-Pro & Super Bowl Champion, Lomas Brown on what the Detroit Lions' recent resurgence means, as someone who gave so much to that franchise, how much of a boost will getting Aidan Hutchinson back provide the Lions' defense and how has being in the media changed how he views the game?

This is clearly someone's brand, although— in the confines of a murky and dimly lit office, oppulent as it is— this is no plug, and there are no cameras, no audience. JIMMY FALLON knows he is about to be murdered, and as the dark liquid— perhaps a rum of some sort— glides over the barreled rocks in his glass, he calmly lets out a subtle sigh of exasperation.

Integration of Real-Life Figures: ETM famously integrates real-life celebrities (from A-list icons like Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Billie Eilish, Finneas, Eddie Murphy, Christopher Walken, Johnny Depp, Charlie Sheen, Katt Williams, and Whoopi Goldberg, to late-night hosts and media personalities like Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon). ETM posits that these individuals, often without their conscious awareness, are either key nodal points in the multiversal fabric, accidental conduits for interdimensional energies, or even unwitting "Lightworkers" whose public personas are part of a larger cosmic script.

JIMMY FALLON knows he is about to be murdered, and as the dark liquid— perhaps a rum of some sort— glides over the barreled rocks in his glass, he calmly lets out a subtle sigh of exasperation.

When we explore what intuition truly is, we discover that most of what we call "intuition" isn't intuition at all. This episode dismantles common misconceptions about intuitive knowing, revealing how we often mistake pattern recognition, emotional resonance, or psychic impressions for genuine intuitive understanding. The conversation moves beyond surface-level definitions to examine intuition as something far more profound: a direct channel to universal truth. The discussion draws fascinating parallels between ancient wisdom teachings and modern concepts like The Matrix, exploring how we live within self-created thought-worlds that obscure our connection to deeper reality. Rather than being trapped in these mental constructs, intuition offers a way to "unplug" from the limiting beliefs and fixed ideas that keep us separate from the living matrix of creation itself. This isn't about accessing more information, but about developing an entirely different way of knowing. At its core, intuition represents the soul's capacity for synthetic understanding - a comprehensive grasp of universality that temporarily dissolves the sense of separation. The episode examines how genuine intuitive knowing brings three distinct qualities: illumination (seeing clearly what is), understanding (not just mental concepts but true comprehension), and love (recognizing the fundamental unity that connects all existence). This isn't sentimental love, but the recognition of our essential interconnectedness. Perhaps most importantly, this exploration reveals intuition as life's way of conversing with itself through human consciousness. This requires building an instrument capable of receiving signals from the source of life itself - a process that demands genuine inner work, clearing away distortions, and creating the conditions for spirit and matter to meet within us. The result isn't just better decision-making, but participation in the ongoing creation of reality itself.

Let's look at today's hot topics! Get the latest news and updates directly from RTD News: http://rtd.newsOn July 8th, the deep state was trending again—and for good reason. The DOJ and FBI just concluded that Jeffrey Epstein had “no client list,” sparking outrage across the internet. But should we really be surprised? In this eye-opening livestream, we break down the layers of deception fueling the political machine and how spiritual blindness keeps people trapped in false hope.From MAGA disappointments to the role of the church, and from Netanyahu's White House moves to Elon Musk's strategic distractions—this video covers it all. You'll hear why political saviors won't save you, what the Bible really says about deception, and how to view today's events through a Kingdom-focused lens.

“Truth to Ponder” has always worked hard to avoid making outrageous claims and predictions in the news. While many news programs and podcasts promote merchandise based on making story claims that more often than not up end up being untrue, we have always erred on the side of caution. Today, Bob does speculate on a few stories that need a closer look. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

Read Online“No one patches an old cloak with a piece of unshrunken cloth, for its fullness pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse. People do not put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, and the skins are ruined. Rather, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.” Matthew 9:16–17The parable above teaches us that even if someone were to faithfully understand and live the authentic Law that was given through Moses and the prophets, Jesus' new teaching of grace, the New Law, was so different that it was not simply an improvement of the old, it completely replaced it. Furthermore, many of the customs taught by the Pharisees were unfaithful representations of the Law of Moses. They had deviated from the Law's meaning and replaced it with their own scrupulous and erroneous multiplication of external practices. Thus, Jesus' New Law needed to break away from these deviations completely.To use a modern example, if you were to have an old phone that had become obsolete or stopped working, you wouldn't buy a new phone so as to remove various parts from it to try to add those parts to the old phone to fix it. Instead, you use the new phone as a complete replacement for the old one.A central quality of the New Law of grace is that it is entirely new and transforming. Therefore, by embracing this New Law, we become entirely new creations in Christ. Grace doesn't simply patch that which is weak and sinful in us. It transforms us, elevating our human nature to an entirely new existence.This teaching is not only directed at the misguided teachings that the Pharisees had developed over the years, it was directed at human life itself. Not only were the Jewish customs to go through a transformation, humanity itself was to go through a transformation. Everything is made new in Christ. This teaching applies just as much to us today as it did to the Jewish people of old. Today, we not only receive the new life of grace in Baptism, but we also receive it anew and share in this ongoing transforming renewal every time we allow grace to touch us more deeply and transform us more fully into the people God wants us to be. The “new patch” and the “new wine” are always transforming, and we must look forward to this newness throughout our lives. Reflect, today, upon the joyful discovery that awaits you every day. Discovering the New Law of grace, accepting it into your life, and allowing it to transform you will set you on a path of discovery that will never get old. It is an ongoing discovery that is far greater than anything this world has to offer. Nothing can ever compare to the gift of God alive in our lives. It will never get old. It will always be transforming. And it will always be new. Ponder this gift God offers you today and say “Yes” to it with all your heart. My transforming Lord, You continuously offer to renew me, transform me and elevate me to the life of grace. I thank You for this Gift and desire to accept it with all my heart. May I always be ready and willing to say “Yes” to You and the transformation that awaits me as I discover this ever new treasure of Your Grace.

Why Are You Here?with Roger TeelWhen we step back from the whirlwind of our lives—from the continual flow of thoughts, activities, goals, demands, and distractions—ultimate questions are given room to emerge. Ponder "soul questions" like, Why am I here? Why did I choose to be on Earth at this time? These questions invite us to explore more deeply, and the insights will shine a guiding light upon everything we allow to fill our days.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: In this month of June, for this radio program and podcast, we are at a crossroads. In the past 5 years, many shortwave stations have gone off the air for good. Many well-known and well-financed radio hosts have abandoned the medium. It is imperative that we build during this time for the future and raise up those whom God has called to be a part of this forward going work. This voice is still needed, but it's up to you.

In this episode, we dive into Galatians chapter 2 and uncover a powerful message about freedom in Christ—a freedom threatened by religious rules, even in the early church. Paul recounts his face-to-face confrontation with Peter over hypocrisy, challenges the idea of adding requirements to the gospel, and defends salvation by grace alone.For Latter-day Saints, this chapter raises important questions:Do we need religious leaders to validate our message from God?Are modern commandments—like the Word of Wisdom—spiritually necessary?What does it really mean to be “justified by faith”?

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, Do not take a false oath, but make good to the Lord all that you vow. But I say to you, do not swear at all…” Matthew 5:33–34The purpose of an oath was to guarantee the truthfulness of the statement made. Sometimes this can be very good. For example, many of the Sacraments involve making a public vow before God and the Church. In these cases, the vow is a form of oath that is solemnized so as to invite the grace of God to enter and strengthen it. It becomes a way of making a public witness to one's faith and an expression of one's need for God's grace to be faithful to the promise that is made. Jesus is not speaking about these forms of public vows, oaths and promises in the Gospel today. Instead, He is addressing a practice that some engaged in, whereby they regularly swore on God's name about the truthfulness of what they were saying. The problem with this is that it takes something solemn and sacred and carelessly turns it into something ordinary. There is no need to “swear to God” about everything one says. First of all, if one feels a need to call on God's name regularly so as to convince another of the truthfulness of their statements, then it is most likely the case that they do so because they are struggling with dishonesty. Oath-taking on a regular basis seems to presuppose a human tendency to lie. For that reason, it is not ideal to go about one's daily interactions with this presupposition. Instead, as Christians we must strive for a fundamental disposition of truthfulness. Jesus concludes this Gospel teaching by saying, “Let your ‘Yes' mean ‘Yes,' and your ‘No' mean ‘No.' Anything more is from the Evil One.” In other words, work to become a person of true honesty and integrity. Be sincere in all of your dealings, and do not begin with a presupposition of dishonesty. Begin with the intention of complete honesty and sincerity, and that will suffice. Furthermore, if one were to go about their day making one oath after another, swearing on God's name to the truthfulness every time, this would have the effect of lessening the solemnity of those few times when this is a good and holy practice. Making public vows, such as marriage vows, or public promises, such as priests make, are unique and solemn. Publicly renewing our faith within the Church, taking an oath as one begins the responsibility of some public office, or any other more solemn opportunity for oath-taking should be seen as a special occasion. Therefore, our daily commitments must simply be the fruit of our honesty and integrity as persons. Reflect, today, upon your own daily approach to honesty and sincerity. Do you go about your day with the goal of living in the truth, speaking the truth and seeking the truth? Are you honest with others, seeking good and clear communication with them? Ponder these questions and know that interior integrity requires these virtues of honesty and sincerity. Seek that integrity and others will benefit as they grow to trust you each and every day. Lord, You are the source of all truth, and You are Truth Itself. Please help me to become a daily instrument of that Truth in all that I say and do. I choose You and Your holy will always, and I choose to be Your instrument for all to see. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Image via PxhereSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Have you ever watched yourself make the same decision, at the same time, in the same situation—again and again—and thought, “Why do I always do this?” Maybe it's Friday night. You feel tired, drained, maybe a little rebellious. You think, “I'll just loosen up this weekend and start over Monday.” And then Monday rolls around, and you're standing in front of the mirror, wondering how you got back here—again. Welcome back to our 6 part series on excuses called Excuses Exposed. Today we're talking about Predictable patterns.  Predictable patterns are the loops we know by heart. The scripts our brain has memorized. The decisions we almost expect ourselves to make. And the more often they happen, the more permanent they start to feel. But what if “this always happens” didn't mean you were doomed to repeat it? What if it just meant you were in a habit loop that can be rewritten? Before we dig into all that, let's do a final recap of where we've been on this excuses journey. In Episode 1, we talked about excuses as mental habits—not personality flaws. You learned the Excuse-Proofing Process: Pause, Ponder, Pivot, Practice. In Episode 2, we covered emotional excuses—when food feels like a reward, relief, or rebellion. Episode 3 unpacked minimizing excuses—the “just a bite” and “this doesn't count” thoughts that add up over time. In Episode 4, we tackled scarcity excuses—the “now or never” mindset that tricks you into overeating because you think it's your only chance. Last week, in Episode 5, we talked about overwhelm excuses—those “it's too hard” and “I don't have time” thoughts that show up when your brain feels like it's drowning. And now, here we are, at the finale. Predictable patterns. The loops you see coming. The places you fall off track in ways that feel frustratingly familiar. Let's talk about what those patterns mean—and how to change them without needing a complete personality transplant. Ready? Let's go!   https://confidentbody.coach/tips/ BOOK: You Are A Miracle 

In an era where Artificial Intelligence is redefining our world at a remarkably swift pace, the traditional way of doing things no longer guarantees decent outcomes. The transformation of how we work, create, and find meaning due to AI puts the conventional job pyramid into a disruptive mode. It's our responsibility to embrace curiosity, adapt boldly, and focus on delivering meaningful outcomes rather than routine tasks in order to thrive in this constantly changing landscape. It is no longer enough to simply work harder; it's essential to work smarter with the assistance of AI. The future belongs to those who are willing to combine the power of human creativity with the power of AI.   In this week's episode, Nathan and Scott bring their usual updates on what new changes occurred in the landscape of AI. Then they share thoughts on the differences in AI adoption between the private and nonprofit sectors. The nonprofits have a responsibility to use AI thoughtfully because it can magnify their impact and shape the future of technology at the same time. Nathan then explains the importance of redefining success by choosing joy over traditional job titles in an AI-driven world. He also comments on the importance of encouraging the younger generations to follow what they love instead of the paycheck or traditional career paths. Furthermore, Nathan and Scott pay attention to discussing a much-needed topic: the limitations of AI when it comes to providing the human connection. AI can definitely answer your questions, but it cannot make you feel heard as another human being. It's important to remember what a technology like AI is capable of and not capable of providing.   Wrapping up the conversation, Scott provides tips to train ChatGPT fast, and Nathan contributes with the ponder of the week and encourages people to slow down and take time to ground themselves with the reality of what surrounds them.   HIGHLIGHTS [02.04] AI in the private and nonprofit sectors.   [07.50] The weekly highlight on AI.   [14.12] Document by OpenAI's Red Team about AI resisting termination instructions.   [16.22] The responsibility of using AI thoughtfully.   [22.37] Redefining success.   [37.37] The Collapse of the Traditional Career Pyramid.   [31.14] The limitations of AI in providing the human connection.   [35.50] AI in the nonprofit sector.   [39.41] Tip of the Week – Train ChaatGPT fast with a quick profile of you and your work.   [43.20] Ponder of the Week – Slow down and ground yourself with the reality of what's around you.  Connect with Nathan and Scott: LinkedIn (Nathan): ⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/nathanchappell/⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn (Scott): ⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/scott-rosenkrans⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠fundraising.ai/

adrienne maree brown shines a light on an emerging ecosystem in our world over and against the drumbeat of what is fractured and breaking. She works with the complex fullness of reality to move towards a wholeness of living. In exploring the idea of hope — the meaning of it, the practice of it — it feels important to begin with someone who works to shift realities on the ground. Many words and phrases have been used to describe what she does and who she is, who she is to so many people, especially in younger generations: She is a student of complexity; a student of change and how groups change together; a scholar of belonging. And she is an organizer as much as a writer.Journaling prompts for Session 2Preparing inwardly after listening, ask these questions:Examine your orientation to the idea that imagination has real-world consequences. Do you believe that? Trace its reality in the lives of people you admire and in your own life.Ponder emergence. Consider how this way of change has found expression across the years in your life, your work, your world — moments when what you did not plan or control became a catalyst for your growth.“Emergence notices the way small actions and connections create complex systems, patterns that become ecosystems and societies.”“Emergence emphasizes critical connections over critical mass.”“The crisis we are in at scale is in part a response to control or overcome the emergent processes that are our own nature, the processes of the planet we live on and the universe we call home.”We've created a beautiful journal for the whole seven weeks, with full-size printable pages, that you can download for free HERE.A Possible Way to Organize This ExperienceTake each week's brief listening offering, each around 15 minutes long, as a meditation to move through the week ahead. And as none of the great virtues — and certainly not hope — is meant to be carried alone, we encourage you to undertake this experience alongside others, perhaps your life partner or family or colleagues or friends, book group or study group.For example, you could:●  Listen to one Wisdom Practice (roughly 15 minutes) — together or separately — around the same time each week. Listen again and/or read the transcript as often as is useful.●  Carry the ideas, invitations, and journal prompts for the session into your ordinary interactions of the days that follow.●  Commit to some time journaling every day, even if just for a few minutes or a few words.●  Meet with or Zoom/call your companion(s) at the end of the week to share, converse, commune.The Hope Portal and this series are adventures in opening the deep enduring teaching that lives inside the 20 years of On Being. We would be so grateful if you would let us know how it goes for you and how it might be refined, by writing to us at mail@onbeing.org. Sign yourself and others up for The Pause to be first to know about all things On Being and to receive Krista's monthly Saturday morning newsletter, including a heads-up on new episodes, special offerings, recommendations, and event invitations.

The big news recently was Ukraine's massive assault of killer drones that attacked Russian airfields housing Russia's nuclear bomber fleet in Siberia and several other locations deep within the country's heartland. This appears to be a covert message from Ukrainian President Zelensky by aggravating Vladimir Putin into a nuclear stance. Could it also be part of a war theater to set up a false flag attack, where President Trump would have no other choice but to be ready for a limited nuclear incursion?

Have you ever looked at your to-do list, then looked at the fridge, and thought, “I just can't deal—I need something to eat”? Or said to yourself, “I want to take care of myself, but I don't have the energy, I don't have the time, and honestly, I just don't have it in me today”? That's overwhelm talking. And when overwhelm takes the wheel, the drive-through starts to look like self-care. Welcome back to our 6 part series on excuses called Excuses Exposed. Today we're talking about Overwhelm excuses.  These excuses don't always sound dramatic. They sound tired. Logical. They sound like you are protecting your sanity. And in some ways, you are. Your brain is doing its best to help you cope. The problem is, it often trades short-term relief for long-term frustration. Before we dig into that, let's do a quick recap. In Episode 1, we covered how excuses aren't flaws—they're just protective habits your brain uses to dodge discomfort. You learned how to Pause, Ponder, Pivot, and Practice. In Episode 2, we tackled emotional excuses. The kind that show up when food becomes your comfort blanket. In Episode 3, we talked about minimizing excuses—those little “doesn't count” moments that quietly chip away at your progress. And in Episode 4, we exposed scarcity excuses. Thoughts that made food feel limited, special, or socially required. For today Let's unpack overwhelm.When life feels too full, the mental load. The pressure. and your brain says, “Forget it.This is all too hard.” Ready? Let's go!   https://confidentbody.coach/tips/ BOOK: You Are A Miracle 

The Bible provides a strong warning for those called to keep watch to warn the people of God's judgment and danger. Those who fail to heed the warning only have themselves to blame. Those whom God has called to keep watch also have a responsibility to provide timely warnings to God's people, calling them to repentance and turn from their sin. Going forward, the primary purpose of “Truth to Ponder” is to be a “Watchman on the Wall” as we see our world on a collision course to be just as the bible predicts, “As in the Days of Noah.” Will you heed the warning?Now, do you believe in this ministry?

IMPORTANT REMINDER: As we enter this new month of June, for this radio program and podcast, we are at a crossroads. In the past 5 years, many shortwave stations have gone off the air for good. Many well-known and well-financed radio hosts have abandoned the medium. We must build during this time for the future and raise up those whom God has called to be a part of this forward-going work. This voice is still needed, but it's up to you.

The past 5 years or so have been nothing but a foretaste of the major spiritual battles that lie ahead. The recent election fixed very little, at least in matters of faith and spiritual warfare. Today, “Truth to Ponder” embarks on a greater mission, not just to chronicle our spiritual decline, but to begin to equip the church for the intense work ahead. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

There are certain passages in this book that are downright stunning to me. For instance, Paul doesn't just tell the Philippians to “rejoice in the Lord,” he tells them to “rejoice in the Lord always” (Phil. 4:4). He doesn't just say, “don't worry,” he says, “don't worry about anything” (Phil. 4:6) Now in today's passage, Paul says, “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation” (Phil. 4:12)Remember, Paul isn't able to say these things because his life has been easy. Just the opposite! He faced life-threatening circumstances over and over again, all for the sake of Christ. Indeed, at the very moment he penned these words he was chained to a guard in a Roman prison. Even so, Paul had “learned the secret” of being content. What can we learn from Paul that can help us learn to be content no matter what comes our way?The Greek word Paul uses for contentment means “satisfaction with what one has; independence from all things and all people.” It's the idea of not needing anything, anyone, or any change in the circumstances in order to be at peace.But how do you get there?  In Paul's day, as in ours, there were two philosophies that people followed to ease their discontent. Counterfeit contentment, you could say. Contentment isn't a matter of giving in to stoicism. Stoicism believes the goal is to get rid of desire, to eliminate emotion. In other words, to simply not care. In today's parlance, the watchword would be “whatever.” “My job's been eliminated. Whatever. I don't care.”But this is not what Paul is talking about.Contentment isn't a matter of turning in to self-sufficiency. This is the philosophy of the Cynics. One of their beliefs is to trust no one but yourself. The problem with that is, the only resources you have are the ones you can muster up, and when those run out, you're out of luck. That's why Cynics are seldom content; they're bitter.So, what's Paul's secret? It's found in verse 13. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."This is one of the most popular verses in the Bible, used as motivation by athletes and millions of others facing challenging situations. But we would do well to understand that the original context of these words has to do with learning to be content.  What they remind us is that…Contentment is a matter of leaning in to divine sovereignty. Paul's contentment was anchored in His awareness that Christ was enough and that his life was controlled by a sovereign God who worked all things together for our good and His glory.Here are some actions steps that can help us when discontentment creeps in.Ponder: thank God for all that you do have. Discontentment is largely triggered by ingratitude. Instead of focusing on what isn't, thank God for what is. One of the secrets of contentment is gratitude.Wonder: ask yourself what God might be up to. God is always at work. What might He want you to learn about Him, about you? How might He use these circumstances for the greater progress of the gospel?Surrender: trust God's heart rather than your understanding.  There will be times when God's actions baffle us. In those moments, we much surrender our need to understand the situation and fall back on what you know is true about God – His character and love for you.  Text: Philippians 4:10-13, 2 Corinthians 11:23-28; 12:7-12Originally recorded on February 1, 2009, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Scripture memory is one of the best ways for you to help keep Christ in your child's heart even as they grow. My family growing up memorized a few pieces of scripture that I STILL REMEMBER from childhood, and I have seen how God can draw the words back into my mind right at the moment when I need them most. I hope to hide Bible verses in my children's hearts that God may bring back up to them one day when they need it the most. In this episode, I share a Charlotte Mason system for memorizing scripture with your kids that we have implemented for a couple of years, and I can tell you from experience, it is so effective! Listen in to learn more, and I will post some pictures on Instagram (@thebetterpartpod) for more some visuals!If you would like more resources for memorizing scripture, check out my friend's amazing resources:Podcast: Memorize Scripture by Jackie AngelBook: Memorize Scripture: Simple Steps to Pray, Ponder, and Practice God's Word by Jackie Angel

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me.” John 14:23–24The Father and the Son are One. Their unity is perfect in every way. They share one divine nature. Yet they are distinct Persons. They are not only perfectly united as One God, they are also able to be in a loving communion of unity with each other. The mystery of the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is a mystery so deep that we will never fully comprehend Them. They are the “unknowable God” Whom we seek to know. Thus, our relationship with God is an ongoing journey by which we plunge ourselves into this mystery more deeply every day and through eternity.Today's Gospel gives us a glimpse into the glorious unity of God, but it goes further. It also reveals the desire in the Heart of God to come and dwell within us. If we love God and keep His Word, the Trinity will come to us and dwell within us. “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.” This invitation given to us to share in the unity of God is also a mystery too deep for words.As a child, perhaps you were taught about the mystery of the Trinity by being shown a three-leaf clover. Each petal represents one of the divine Persons, but the whole leaf represents Their unity. We benefit from this simplistic imagery to help us begin to understand Who God is. But in reality, there is only one thing that will help to fully reveal God's very Self to us. What is that one thing? It is exactly what Jesus spoke about: Loving obedience to the Word of God. Obedience to the Word of God is the best expression of love we can offer to God. This is because God's Word is Truth in its fullness. When we understand this Truth and live by it, then this is love. Furthermore, this form of loving obedience will result in something that is unimaginable. It will result in the indwelling of the Most Holy Trinity in our souls: “...and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.”Though this language is clouded and mysterious, when the Most Holy Trinity comes to dwell within a person, the cloud begins to be lifted and the mystery begins to become known. Therefore, the only way to begin to discover this incomprehensible mystery of the life of the Most Holy Trinity is to allow the Trinity to dwell within you. And the only way to invite God to do so is through love of Him. And the only way to love Him is through obedience to the Word of God. Jesus is the Word of God. We especially come to know Him as the Word of God through our reading of the Scriptures and by living the message it proclaims. Reflect, today, upon the most central calling you have been given. That mission is to become a dwelling place for God. And that is only accomplished by your love of God which is expressed through obedience to His Word. Ponder obedience. Tell God you will obey His every command of love. Look at your actions and consider any ways that you fail in obedience to all that our Lord has commanded. Where you see any deviation, know that correcting that deviation is the pathway not only to a deeper love but also the pathway to a fuller unity with the Triune God Who seeks to unite Himself to you from within. Most Holy Trinity, Unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, come dwell within me. I pray for the gift of love of You, expressed through my obedience to Your every command that is revealed through Your holy Word. May I become more fully aware of every way I delay in my obedience so that I may change my ways and open myself more fully to You. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.
