Speaking To Their Hearts
Throughout the Bible, we see that Jesus often spoke in parables, and they seem to regularly teach us something new about life. Have you ever wondered why? It may be because what we need is a conversion of heart, or to remind us how strong and abundant God's love is for us, even when we stray from the path. Parables speak to our hearts.
What does it really mean to say, “I’m in”? In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene explores Ash Wednesday and Lent not as rituals of guilt, but as intentional renewal. A season to recommit, refocus, and choose something better for ourselves and those around us.
Some moments stay with us forever—the instant understanding clicks, or gratitude suddenly deepens. Father Gene reflects on recognizing “the good stuff”: learning, resilience, and the quiet sacrifices of those who came before us that made our own lives possible.
