Holiness For The Working Day

Holy Trinity Sunday 2025 What do a baffling university quote, swirling incense, and the mystery of the Trinity have in common? More than you think. In this episode, we begin with Fr. Robert McGuire’s infamous “Red Zinger”—a cryptic saying meant to puzzle and provoke—and follow its thread into the deepest mystery of the Christian faith: the Trinity. Drawing from ancient philosophy, modern skepticism, and a splash of incense smoke, we reflect on why mystery isn’t something to solve, but something to enter. God is one, and God is three—and that paradox isn’t a bug, it’s the feature. The Christian claim isn’t merely that God loves, but that God is love. In the Trinity, we discover not just a doctrine, but an invitation: to imitate the divine rhythm of love, self-gift, and communion. We also confront our modern allergy to mystery. What can’t be measured, predicted, or tested is often rejected. Yet the deepest truths—love, meaning, beauty, even God—can’t be placed under a microscope. They must be lived. They must b

Pentecost 2025 Graduation season is a time of giving—gifts to celebrate, to remember, and to send forth with love. But what if the greatest gifts we receive aren’t wrapped in ribbons, but in the presence of the Giver Himself? In this episode, we explore the love language of gift giving—not as materialism, but as the sacred act of saying, “You are seen. You are loved. You matter.” We then turn to the most profound gifts of all: the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, given by the Paraclete—our Advocate, who stands beside us as we step into the unknown. Let this be your commissioning: to carry these gifts boldly into the world.

In this opening episode of The Road to Wholeness, we begin with a map—not of streets and cities, but of the human person. Drawing from St. Teresa of Avila, Benedict XVI, and the deep wells of Christian anthropology, we explore what it means to be made in the image of God. Before any healing can begin, we must remember who we are: someone, not something. This episode charts the terrain of the soul—our intellect, will, and capacity for love—and lays the foundation for a journey of restoration, not into self-perfection, but into divine communion. It’s not self-help. It’s grace.   Here are some journal and prayer prompts to help you dive deeper:  What lies have I believed about myself, God, or others that keep me from living in the truth of who I am? How do I respond to beauty when I encounter it—in art, nature, or another person? What does that response reveal about my soul’s longing? When was the last time I felt truly seen and known? What did that moment teach me about communion and trust? What rhythms o

This episode reflects on the quiet aftermath of great missions—whether in war, in the early Church, or in our own lives. Drawing from a scene in Band of Brothers, the Ascension in the Gospel of Luke, and a moment from Black Hawk Down, it explores the kind of silence that follows profound revelation. Not a silence of fear, but of purpose. The Apostles didn’t retreat after the Lord ascended—they returned to prayer, to wait, and then to go back in. So must we. This homily is a meditation on that return: the hush before the mission continues, a mission that flows from the Ascension of Our Lord. 

In this episode, we journey into the heart of the interior life—where sonship is not just a theological idea but a lived identity, rooted in the truth of God’s love. Fr. Searby explores how misbeliefs about ourselves and others become strongholds for spiritual distortion, and how forgiveness and spiritual warfare begin in reclaiming truth. This is a call to detach from the lies of the enemy, re-align our hearts with the Father’s voice, and live in the radical freedom of those who know they are deeply loved.

This episode explores the deep, sacred power of memory—not as nostalgia, but as a living, active force that shapes who we are. True remembrance, inspired by the Holy Spirit, makes the past present and meaningful. In the Church, memory is not just intellectual—it’s spiritual, personal, and redemptive. Through the Mass and the quiet reminders of grace, we are invited to remember who we are and carry that fire into the world.

If Only For Once It Was Completely Quiet 

Rest for Your Soul: Sabbath Wisdom for a Summer of Renewal 2025 This episode explores the sacred power of stillness in seasons of change, from the quiet “Room of Tears” behind the papal conclave to the quiet mornings of our own lives. Drawing on scripture, saints, literature, and films, we uncover how Sabbath rest is more than a break, it’s a threshold, a healing, a celebration, and a taste of eternity. Whether through Tolkien’s Shire, a walk by the river, or a meal with loved ones, this is an invitation to rediscover time as a divine gift, not a task.
