Ep. 164 | Faith Won't Spoil Your Fun

April 11, 2024 20:00 - 5 minutes - 4.16 MB

There's a common lie in the world that followers of Christ must be miserable. We give up so many pleasures of the world, so many things that people base their entire lives on — the confusion is somewhat understandable. But what the world doesn't see is how God is offering us the fullness of life, the fullness of joy. If only the world knew what it was missing out on. Faith doesn't spoil fun; faith completes it. 🔴  ABOUT US Called to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate based ...

Ep. 163 | How to Let God Speak (to You)

April 04, 2024 20:00 - 6 minutes - 4.59 MB

God has something to reveal to you — today. This is true every day, but often we forget, neglect or don't know how to listen.

Ep. 162 | Two Ways to Meditate on Christ’s Passion

March 28, 2024 21:00 - 8 minutes - 5.71 MB

With Good Friday tomorrow, it's incredibly important to be meditating on Christ's passion. Fr Columba offers two ways to do this: through the cross and through the trinity.

Ep. 161 | Demons, Addiction & Counselling

March 21, 2024 21:00 - 8 minutes - 6.02 MB

Three things that often freak people out are demons, addiction and counselling. This week Fr Columba looks at all three, and how they are linked. If essentially all sin is addictive, and all of us have some sin in our life, could it also be true that we are all dealing with demons and might even be better off for having deliverance prayers and/or counselling?

Ep. 160 | Do You Know How to Feast? (Without Binging)

March 14, 2024 18:00 - 6 minutes - 4.68 MB

Lots of us spend time and effort learning how to fast — it's difficult, right? Few of us realise we also have to learn how to do the opposite — feast. Yes, it makes sense to pray for the gift of feasting, because the world is constantly trying to dictate what the party looks like. It's meant to be joyful, it's meant to be life giving; not soul destroying and hangover inducing. Pray for the gift to feast well. 🔴  ABOUT US Called to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate based in...

Ep. 159 | This Should Change How You Live

March 07, 2024 18:00 - 8 minutes - 5.9 MB

In Matthew 25 Jesus separates saved souls from damned souls. The dividing line? Love. He lists the acts of charity, things we know we should be doing, but that often fall on the back burner. So, are you acting in love, are you helping those who can't help you back? Or is this a bit of a blind spot for you, as can easily happen? This isn't a condemnation (because everyone has blind spots) but it could be the wakeup call that helps you to change. 🔴  ABOUT US Called to More is a Catholic not-...

Ep. 158 | How Many Young People View God (Moralistic Therapeutic Deism)

February 29, 2024 18:00 - 6 minutes - 4.49 MB

Ep. 157 | One of the Toughest Christian Teachings (Generosity)

February 22, 2024 18:00 - 6 minutes - 4.53 MB

Gandhi said that if he saw Christians living this aspect of the faith, he would convert to Christianity and bring all of his followers with him. It's a toughy, radical generosity.

February 15, 2024 18:00 - 7 minutes - 5.34 MB

Getting out of sin is tricky. We often fall into one of two traps: acting out or, the opposite, acting in.

Ep. 155 | How to Discern Big Things (& Not Get Stuck)

February 08, 2024 18:00 - 6 minutes - 4.57 MB

There are some things we need to spend time discerning (St Francis de Sales lists five), but then there are things we need to feel free to make decisions about a little more quickly. It's a balance to strike, and a thing to be discerned in itself — what things are worth discerning, and what things do we just need to act on? 🔴  ABOUT US Called to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate based in Ireland.

February 01, 2024 18:00 - 8 minutes - 5.78 MB

We all have an inner conversation, pretty much all of the time. When it gets negative, who's steering? Is it God, or is it your overly critical self?

Ep. 152 | Altar Rails Unite, Not Divide

January 18, 2024 18:00 - 7 minutes - 4.84 MB

You could view the place where two people meet as a dividing line, or you could view it as a point of communion and connection. It's quite like that with altar rails.

Merry Christmas! A time of year to open presents, stuff our faces, and much more importantly celebrate the incarnation. God becoming man. Jesus entering our midst.

Being Irish is mostly great, but we also have a few funny things about us. We can be insular, guarded, and deeply jealous.

November 16, 2023 18:00 - 6 minutes - 4.68 MB

It's sad to see a disconnect between our wants and our needs, yet it happens all the time. Are you conscious of potential gluttony at meals, or potential drunkenness at parties? Even with good things, like prayer — do you pray the amount you should, the amount God is asking you — not the amount you feel guilty enough to demand of yourself, especially if it's unrealistic?

October 19, 2023 17:00 - 6 minutes - 4.83 MB

Back in the Middle Ages, to be successful was to be holy — with holiness defined as the full flourishing of your person brought to completion. Today, we have redefined success. We have reduced it. If you're good at one thing (pleasure, power, possession) you're considered to be "living the dream". That you've arrived. But it's not true to our nature.

October 12, 2023 17:00 - 9 minutes - 6.4 MB

Why does God want us to intercede, surely He already knows what we want and what we need? Well, it's less about trying to get Him to do things for us and more about helping us realise that we're not God. Yes, He answers prayers, big and small. But much more than that, He wants a relationship with us. And a big part of establishing that relationship is for us to realise who is God, and who isn't. 🔴  ABOUT US Called to More is a Catholic not-for-profit media apostolate based in Ireland. We c...

It's St Therese season again! And Fr Columba drops his third video on this wonderful saint. His insight this time is into her great conundrum — wanting to love Jesus the most and experience his mercy the most, but not having many sins for which she needed mercy. Her answer?

Children's psychology shows that they need at least 10 minutes of undivided attention every day. But isn't this true for all of us? We need to be seen, known, loved — not just by God, but also by others. Do you have people you can share your heart with? If not, search for that.

Ep. 133 | Is Your Faith Too Focused on Rules?

September 07, 2023 17:00 - 5 minutes - 3.78 MB

Lots of people try to reduce the Christian faith to a set of rules. And they're not entirely wrong, there are plenty of them. But this is not the heart of the Gospel! Rules only outline the boundaries of our relationship with God — they instruct us on how to not make a mess of it all. But it would be a shame to focus so much on the boundaries that we never get to the centre, never get to the heart of our relationship with God.

Ep. 132 | Catch Yourself Experiencing God (& Verify His Existence)

August 31, 2023 17:00 - 6 minutes - 4.72 MB

We experience God all the time, that's not the problem. The problem is that we're not always aware of it. We're not always tuned in to the reality that engaging with things of the faith is different (and feels different) to engaging with things of the world.

Ever get lost in long prayers, wanting (but failing) to concentrate on each point? You skim past meaty topics, each ripe for deep contemplation — only to find yourself at the end of the prayer without feeling like you ever got started.

How many times do you walk into a Church? Once a year, week or day? Every time, there is an unimaginable amount of grace available, if we just engage our faith.

Rumour has it that Jesus is appearing to Muslims in their dreams — a lot. Of course we cannot indefinitely prove this, but we do know that Muslims are risking their lives to attest to these dreams.

"You’re not broken, you just need to grow." Battling with chastity can often  feel demoralising. Lust is very addictive, and progress can be slow. But maybe you've been approaching it the wrong way all along. Fr Columba suggests addressing another issue first: our emotions.
