How Do I Know if I Made the Wrong Choice?
Each day of our lives we make countless decisions. Many of them have small consequences, good or bad. But what about the BIG decisions we make, like what career to be in, who to marry, or what vocation to follow?
Today Fr. Mike delves into the four principles surrounding our vocational discernment and what to do if we feel like we’ve made the “wrong decision” in that area of our lives.
Bringing Order to Your Life
When you clean and organize a room, you have to ask one very important question first: what is this room for? Once you can answer that, everything begins falling into place.
In order to direct and order your own life, you must ask that same question. What is your life for? What is the primary purpose of the one life you’ve been given?
Fr. Mike proposes that, when you can answer that question, everything in your life will begin falling into place for you. And he might even take a crack at answering that question for you.
Sneaky Ways to Be Prideful (and How to Stop)
“I don’t… think… I’m prideful…?”
Great! If you examine your actions and intentions and you don’t detect any obvious pride, that’s a wonderful thing. But as each one of us grows deeper in relationship with Jesus, he will reveal ever more nuanced ways that pride can sneak its way into our lives, giving us opportunities to reveal those places to Jesus and letting him perfect us.
Today, Fr. Mike uncovers some of those sneaky areas of our life where pride can burrow itself and cause major problems.
Saying Yes to a Life You Did Not Plan
Who is orchestrating your life? If it’s God—and not you—what will you say to him? Fr. Mike suggests trying “yes.”
Whether life circumstances bring the best out of you or the worst out of you, you need Jesus more than you think you do. And that is a very good thing. Here’s why.
Healing from the Wound of Sin
Our sins can leave a wound, even after we confess them. It can take time to move on from decisions and actions we made in our past. Fr. Mike helps us work through the pain of our sins and shows us how we can find true freedom and joy in our relationship with God.
Regret vs. Repentance
There is a difference between regret and repentance, and this video will explain what it is! It’s okay to regret the things we’ve done in the past that took us away from the path of God, but we can’t dwell in this regret.
