Summary
Episode 273 - Feeling Good vs. Being Good
What if the things we use to "feel better" are the very things keeping us from becoming good?
In this episode, the friars continue exploring the Beatitude "Blessed are the pure of heart" looking at the quiet ways we avoid honesty with ourselves, through distraction, self-soothing, numbing, or chasing comfort.
They unpack why it's so hard to face what's really going on inside us, and how purity of heart begins with the courage to stop running and let Jesus meet us in our reality.
