The Daily Refill

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause! Today, Johnathan Blevins reflects on the lessons he learned from his years working in Catholic Parishes. We often expect-or at least desire-perfection from teams, staffs, or any type of group we have working together. The Church is no exception. However, Johnathan reminds us that we ourselves aren't even perfect, and accomplishing perfection on our own te...

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause! Today, John Edwards asks us an important question: how's your Lent going so far? We're late in the game of Lent - it's almost over!

The Lord commands us to slow down so...

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause!

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause! Today, JeffSchiefelbein invites us to intentionally pray for and, especially, with our spouses.

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause! Today, Paul Kolker reflects on his experience in improv comedy and Our Lady. Improv requires you to accept the incoming situation and build on it - to say "yes and". Our Lady, in her own way, is the perfect model of this. When she received the news she was to be the mother of God, she replied "Yes" and then built upon that answer. Whether you're in improv...

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause! Today, Nick Bezner talks about fasting. He explains there's the tried and true ways of thinking of fasting, but invites us to go deeper by giving up three physical gratifications we tend to take for granted each day of Lent. Whether it's our snooze button, that second cup of coffee, or all the Instagram reels we can binge, Nick helps us see these as gifts...

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause! Today, Fr. John Riccardo talks about how we hear God. He first reminds us that God does, in fact, speak, and wants to talk with us a whole lot more than we want to talk with him. He is always taking the initiative toward us. So, what's the surest way to hear God's voice? Scripture. There, you will always hear him speak his love and closeness to you. Hear...

Welcome to the Daily Refill: Lenten Pause! Today, Kate Olivera shares her experience of how what she prays at mass impacts her daily life.

We are bombarded by wants and needs constantly - it's part of our living condition. However, God doesn't love us in spite of that - he loves us because that's how he made us. And that's how he chooses to come to us as a proposal answer to those desires. Thanks for joining us...
