A day walking the hills and stairs of VMI during Matriculation got me thinking about a lesson a PE professor taught me nearly forty years ago: fitness isn't just about what we look like or what we can do in the gym. It's
Many years ago, during a silent retreat at Mepkin Abbey, I spent an early morning praying with Matthew's account of Jesus and Peter walking on the water. Sitting alone in the monastery refectory before sunrise, with a Bi
What if many of our frustrations and disappointments have less to do with God's will than with our own expectations? In this episode, I explore the difference between expectations and aspirations, and why that distinctio
I'm pretty excited about this one. I wouldn't usually say this, but I think this might be one of the more important episodes I've recorded so far. Modern culture tells us that joy comes after achievement. St. Francis of
After a week in the Outer Banks, I came home with four reflections: slowing down, the restorative power of nature, why health is really about freedom, and why a good vacation renews our desire to return to the work and p
Folks have often asked about the logo of Purpose and Perseverance . The answer begins with a honeymoon camping trip through Yellowstone and the surrounding national parks and winds through close encounters with bison tha
One year ago, on the Fourth of July, I uploaded the first episode of Purpose and Perseverance . This week marks fifty-two consecutive Sundays and fifty-nine total episodes. So, I thought it was a good opportunity to paus
This week I explore one of the more misunderstood quotations in Christian history: St. Irenaeus' statement that "The glory of God is man fully alive." Drawing from the 13th Sunday readings, St. Paul's call to die to sin
In this homily for the 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time, I reflect on the contrast between the whispers Jeremiah hears from those seeking to tear him down and the whispers Christ entrusts to His disciples to proclaim from th
In today's Gospel, Jesus gives His disciples a clear command: "Cure the sick." That passage has become one of the guiding principles of my own life, yet I can't help but wonder whether we have unintentionally narrowed it
Summer is supposed to be the season when life slows down (at least for people working in schools). So why does it often feel busier than ever? In this episode, I reflect on the challenge of juggling work, family, faith,
My homily for the St. Thomas More Academy Class of 2026 Baccalaureate Mass Homily. Godspeed graduates!
What does our cultural obsession with giant metal water bottles reveal about modern life? In this episode, I use the rise of "emotional support" hydration tankards as a jumping off point to discuss consumerism, social co
On June 11, 2024, Sam, Chantal, and I walked through the doors of Journey Martial Arts Academy in Youngsville, NC for the first time. It was a practice what you preach moment in terms of the "doorstep mile." What began s
When I started this podcast, I had the aspiration of eventually getting to interviews. Because this isn't my full time job, or even close to it, time for all of that has admittedly been a challenge. However, I knew that
Short one this week, because there aren't enough minutes in the day. The end of April and beginning of May are pretty crazy for me in terms of obligations and commitments. All good stuff, but just a LOT. So I didn't have
In this homily for Good Shepherd Sunday, I reflect on what it really means to imitate Christ as the Good Shepherd. While some are clearly called to lead others in the Church or in their families, all of us are called to
In Part Two of this series, I explore humility not as weakness, but as the hidden virtue behind courage, adventure, and a life fully lived. Building on my previous episode on fear of the unknown, I consider how pride mak
On this Divine Mercy Sunday , I take some time to reflect on a familiar phrase that has started to feel a little incomplete to me. Is "fear of the unknown" really just one fear among many, or is it actually the foundatio
On this Easter Sunday, I reflect on how easy it is to move through the Triduum with familiarity, knowledge, and even reverence, yet still miss the deeper meaning of what Christ has done for us. In this episode, I revisit
