In our lives we are all looking for something, whether it be happiness, success, a way of being that gives life meaning, or something else. Often times we find things on our journey through life that may satisfy us for a time. But does that satisfaction last? In this week's episode, Father Gene shares that we are essentially seeking something bigger than any material good. We are all searching to find peace within our hearts to bring us happiness and solace from conflict and tension in the world.
Can you be spiritual without going to church? Father Gene explores the difference between personal spirituality and organized religion, how nature and human connection can deepen our sense of the sacred, and why community can inspire us to do good.
We all want to be independent, but nobody is meant to do everything alone. Father Gene explores why asking for help can feel so difficult, the importance of trusted friends, and the unexpected gifts waiting when we reach out.
