Episode 238 - True Masculinity and Femininity, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 3) What does it mean to be sons and daughters who are living true masculinity and femininity? In a world that has kind of a broken understanding of masculinity and femininity, it seems that our identities as sons and daughters of God—the idea of masculinity and femininity, have been hijacked and somehow misunderstood. This is why it's just so important to understand our hearts and reorient ourselves to what we are supposed to be doing as a man or a woman. This episode was originally meant for men and masculinity but some of the topics also apply to women and femininity. With that said, today we are going through the different facets of what it means to have a redeemed masculinity or femininity and how that aids in the restoration of our sonship or daughtership.

In this episode, we continue our 40-day journey to the reconsecration of Our Lady of Guadalupe and try to learn how we can listen to God more deeply and restore our realities as sons and daughters of God.

Episode 236 - Rebuild to Reconsecrate, Series on the Sons in the Son (Part 1) What does restoration or reconsecration look like, why do we need it? Restoration and reconsecration mean finding our lives once again in Christ and putting Jesus right at the center of our lives. It means to desire to grow, go deeper, and learn again that God is our Father and that Jesus can lead us to a deeper way of being sons and daughters. If you're currently facing the reality of your brokenness, waywardness, or exile, wherever you find yourself right now—that's okay. The gift of our baptism can be restored and renewed through Jesus and Our Lady is gonna help us to do that. Just as Our Lady of Guadalupe restored Juan Diego’s hope, she can help you restore your sonship or daughtershhip in God the Father. In this episode, we're gonna look into how we can rebuild and reconsecrate the chapel of our hearts as we start a 40-day journey to the reconsecration of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

How do you experience beauty and how are you moved by it? God presents to us the gift of the beauty of the world. Beauty is usually in the eye of the beholder, and we all experience and see beauty differently. But at the same time, it is commonly an experience of awe and wonder before the other or before the world. We are invited to be more open to the beautiful things in our lives, be moved by different expressions of beauty, and allow our hearts to be expanded to acknowledge what's truly beautiful through our own lenses and others as well. In this episode, we will talk about the gift of beauty, how we can see it differently, and how we can be more open to how beauty calls us to love and communion.

If you don't value something, does it mean it's not really valuable to others or to the world? Our life experiences form us and our hearts respond in different ways particularly where there are areas of something that we didn't experience or something that we grew up without in our life.  We can have a coping mechanism or a defense mechanism of numbing and closing that part of our hearts so that it doesn't become an open lifelong wound, which then becomes somewhat naturally, a value. A value that tells us which is important and which is not important, and which we can project onto other people as well.  So we want to be open to discerning those realities at play, in this episode, we are invited to know our own hearts through a healthy self-awareness and self-doubt along with the openness to receive what others value.
