Summary
Episode 274 - Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit
What if the places you feel most empty are the places God is closest?
In this episode, the friars explore what it really means to be poor in spirit, not as an idea, but as the lived experience of feeling powerless, stretched, or unable to fix what hurts. They speak into the poverty we feel in our families, our vocations, our emotions, and our prayer, and how these very places become the doorway for God's coming.
Advent reveals that poverty isn't a flaw to overcome but an invitation to trust, surrender, and let God be the one who fills what we cannot. It's the space where the Kingdom breaks in.
Join us as we learn to stop resisting our poverty and discover God waiting for us there.
