n this episode we look at mountains and valleys in the spiritual life and how to navigate them. Abraham our Father in Faith shows us that trusting in God is the key to progress in this journey. Peter shows us how we would like to keep the good moments here in the Transfiguration. We can but not in the way he proposes. Good moments are to strengthen us for the difficult times where we must remember the mountaintop.
We look at following the will of God in obedience versus making a name for ourselves in our own effort. This organically forms community around prayer and work and brotherly love. The Good Shepherd leads us for we know His voice. Anyone else who is not following the voice of the shepherd is a thief and the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.
Today I have a special guest, Father Jacob Strand. We delve into the mysteries of God the Father's loving Heart. We take a look at some practical steps we can take to heal our hearts from father wounds. We also take a look at some practical ways our fathers can help us grow and how we can be reconciled and start fresh in our awareness of the father's love and how he gets his example from God the Father.
Here we take a look at the covenant love between God the Father and us. We start in the Old Testament and move to the New. The groundwork for the greatest love story ever told is laid before us and the foundation of our own love story and our part to play.
It is important to remain in the Father’s love. When we do, then we can begin living from that place of love and receive the gifts He has for us. He shelters us here and protects us from harm. Giving us new vision, God draws us in and lovingly sustains us.

As newborn infants, we are brought into this world. We grow and change. The tendency to sin stays with us but, by baptism we die with Christ and come to new life. God wants to make a new story for us. So, we must be born again by water and Spirit. God gives us food to sustain us. He shelters us and He gives grace, bringing us into the Church, and into covenant relationship like in the Old Testament. The question is, do we accept only the gift or embrace the Giver?
We feel like we are in a dark room without the lights on when we are living from that wounded place in our hearts. Like Lazarus, we need the faith and hands of another to pull us into healing and wholeness and out of ourselves. We rest in the confidence that God the Father always hears our prayer and heals us from the father wound of a spiritual death caused by a catastrophic event or the consequence of my or my father’s sin.
