Spiritual Arms: Five Minutes for the Battle

Saint Mary’s role is simple: lead us to Jesus. When the wine ran out at Cana, Mary didn’t panic...she turned to Jesus. When something runs out in your life, where do you turn? In this episode of Spiritual Arms, discover the beauty of Mary’s intercession and why she is always pointing us toward her Son. “Do whatever He tells you.”

Spiritual Arms: Five Minutes for the Battle

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” What a powerful way to begin Season 3 of Spiritual Arms! Jesus is the Light of the World — but what happens when we’d rather keep certain parts of our lives in the dark? In the Season 3 premiere, Joshua Correa explores Jesus as the Word made flesh, our Light and Life, and invites us to let His merciful light reach the places we’d rather hide. He already knows. He’s simply waiting for us to turn toward Him.
