Ever wonder if a single "hello" could change someone's life forever? That's exactly what happened one ordinary day in Accounting 201 at the University of Kansas.

Fallon noticed a quiet classmate who always arrived early and spent time on the phone. Curiosity led her to strike up a conversation, discovering he was talking with his dad each day. This simple introduction to Sam—a student with few friends who had never been exposed to faith—set in motion a remarkable journey neither could have anticipated.

Join us for this powerful reminder that divine encounters often disguise themselves as ordinary moments.

Join us on this episode of the SEEK podcast as we explore the profound concept of being a child of God with Fr. James Brent, a Dominican friar and the author of “The Father’s House.” This discussion delves into the transformative understanding of divine fatherhood and its impact on our identity.

Fr. James addresses the essential questions at the heart of our existence: What is my purpose? Who am I? And how do I find love? He enlightens us on how viewing God as our ultimate Father provides the answers to these questions, encouraging us to see beyond our earthly fathers’ limitations and recognize that they, too, are reflections of the divine Father.

Thank you for joining us this year on the SEEK Podcast.

Join us on the SEEK podcast as Father John Burns opens our hearts to the transformative power of Catholic homilies. Unlike any other form of public speaking, an authentic homily weaves together Scripture, liturgy, and our daily lives, offering a unique conduit for divine grace.

Father Burns delves deep into the essence of impactful preaching, emphasizing that the core of powerful homilies is not in the technique but in prayer. He shares his personal approach to homily preparation, which begins with a prayerful request to understand the hearts of his listeners. This spiritual preparation allows him to transcend his own ideas and deliver messages that resonate deeply with parishioners, often addressing their needs in ways he had not anticipated.

Highlighting the biblical metaphor of sowing seeds, Father Burns reminds us that as preachers, we participate in God’s work by planting the living Word in the hearts of the faithful. It’s a humble reminder that while we may lay the foundations, it is God alone who brings forth the growth.

Father Burns also touches on the need for a holistic approach to Church renewal, suggesting that powerful preaching must go hand in hand with the nurturing roles of both spiritual fathers and mothers within the Church. This unity of masculine and feminine expressions of faith embodies the fullness of God’s design for our spiritual family.
