Episode Details

Jesus keeps contradicting the world’s instincts, and we explore why self-giving love is the real path to joy and freedom. We tell the story of Saint Lawrence to show what happens when you stop clinging to life and start sowing it.
• Jesus’ “backwards” way of living as the path to real life 
• The spiritual law of the grain of wheat and why fruitfulness requires surrender 
• Saint Lawrence’s final three days and his definition of the Church’s treasure 
• Paul’s image of sowing seed and the danger of storing what must be given 
• How sacrifice in family life, marriage, and vocation enlarges the soul 
• A direct examen question: what we are still holding on to
