  "Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers ... will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39) Paul writes a list.

  Held | Wednesday Week 9 | Psalm 103 01.07.2026 11p

  "As far as the east is from the west, so far he removes our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion for his children, so the LORD has compassion for those who fear him." (Psalm 103:12-13) When we are anxious, we keep a ledger God does not keep. The Psalmist describes a God who does the opposite. In this episode Steve Corbin guides you through a Lectio Divina on Psalm 103:8-13 with two slow readings, guided meditation and prayer, and silent contemplation with original instrumental music.

  Held | Monday Week 9 | Romans 5:8 29.06.2026 12p

  "But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) Paul does not say God proved His love after we got it together. He says while. One small word that carries the whole weight. In this episode Steve Corbin guides you through a Lectio Divina on Romans 5:8 with two slow readings, guided meditation and prayer, and silent contemplation with original instrumental music. Give yourself 12 to 14 minutes of quiet. Part of the Held Catholic Devotional series, Volume I, Week 9: God's Love Casts Out Fear. New episodes every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

  Held | Week 9 | God's Love Casts Out Fear 28.06.2026 9p

  Fear has a specific lie it tells about love: yes, God loves people, but not you, not as you are right now. In this episode, Steve Corbin opens Week 9 of Held with the answer John gives: perfect love casts out fear, and since God is love, that means God Himself is the cure. Drawing from 1 John 4:18, Romans 5:8, Psalm 103, and Romans 8, this week explores what it means to stop arguing with God's love and simply receive it, especially in the places fear has taken up space. The weekly practice is one sentence: Lord, let Your love reach the places fear has claimed. New episodes every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

  Held | Friday Week 8 | Hebrews 4:9–11 26.06.2026 12p

  "I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother."

  "I will both lie down and sleep in peace; for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety."

  Held | Week 8 | Finding Rest in God's Care 22.06.2026 13p

  Fear and exhaustion travel together. When you are tired, your fears get louder, your patience gets thinner, and your hope gets smaller. Steve Corbin opens Week 8 of Held with Jesus' invitation to real rest, not just sleep, but a deeper rest of the heart. This week traces that invitation through Psalm 4:8, Psalm 131, and Hebrews 4:9-11, three passages that meet exhaustion with trust instead of striving. New episodes every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

  Held | Week 7 | Trusting God in the Storm 15.06.2026 6p

  Week 7 opens with two of the stormiest moments in the Gospels: the disciples crying out 'Do you not care?' and Peter sinking the moment his eyes left Jesus. Steve Corbin walks through the week's theme — that Jesus doesn't just observe our storms, He steps into them — and introduces this week's daily Lectio Divina practice. The weekly practice is simple and embodied: picture yourself in the boat with Jesus during your current storm and pray, 'Jesus, be with me in this.'

  Held | Friday Week 6 | Exodus 16:4–5 22.05.2026 12p

  "Each day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day." Not a week's supply. Not a contingency fund.

  Held | Wednesday Week 6 | James 4:13–15 20.05.2026 12p

  "Yet you do not even know what tomorrow will bring." James 4:14 is one of the most honest sentences in Scripture — and one of the most freeing, once we let it in.

  "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." — Psalm 118:24. In this Lectio Divina, Steve Corbin guides you through one of the most recognized verses in all of Scripture — slowly enough that it might actually do something in you. The psalmist isn't offering cheerful optimism. He is declaring trust: this day, with everything in it, belongs to God.

Give yourself 12-14 minutes of quiet. Part of the Held Catholic Devotional series — Volume I, Week 6: Letting Go of Tomorrow. New episodes every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

  Held | Week 6 | Letting Go of Tomorrow 17.05.2026 8p

  Most of us know what it feels like to lie awake running tomorrow's problems in our heads — and know we should stop, but can't. In this episode, Steve Corbin opens Week 6 of Held with a direct look at what Jesus has to say about worry and the grace of the present moment. Drawing from Matthew 6, Psalm 118, James 4, and Exodus 16, this week explores what it means to trust God not just with the big fears, but with the quiet, persistent anxiety about tomorrow. The weekly practice is simple and grounding: when the spiral starts, pause, pray, and name one gift in front of you right now. New episodes every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

  Held | Friday Week 5 | 1 Corinthians 16:13 08.05.2026 10p

  "Keep alert, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong."Paul ends his entire first letter with fourteen words — four commands that are not a call to a single heroic moment, but a posture for the ordinary, heavy week. A way of staying faithfully present when the path is hard and the weight doesn't let up.In this closing Lectio Divina for Week 5, Steve Corbin guides you through 1 Corinthians 16:13 slowly — sitting with each command as its own invitation and asking which one lands most for you right now.This episode also closes the arc of the week: from Moses's final word in Deuteronomy 31, to God's direct address to the fearful heart in Isaiah 35, to Paul's daily commission here. The through-line is the same: the courage you need is not yours to manufacture. It is His to give.This episode includes two slow readings of the scripture, guided meditation and prayer, a period of silent contemplation with original instrumental music, and a brief closing reflection. Give yourself 12–14 minutes.Part of the Held Catholic Devotional series — Volume I, Week 5: Courage When the Path Feels Heavy. New episodes every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

  Held | Wednesday Week 5 | Isaiah 35:3–4 06.05.2026 12p

  "Here is your God."In Isaiah 35, God stops speaking about the fearful heart and speaks directly to it. Not 'God is coming.' Here. Now. It's one of the most immediate, direct promises in all of Scripture — and it arrives precisely in the middle of fear, not after it.In this Lectio Divina episode, Steve Corbin guides you through Isaiah 35:3–4, sitting with three movements: the call to strengthen one another in weakness, God's direct address to the fearful heart, and the double promise — He will come, and He will save.This episode includes two slow readings of the scripture, guided meditation and prayer, a period of silent contemplation with original instrumental music, and a brief return to the week's theme. Give yourself 12–14 minutes of quiet.Part of the Held Catholic Devotional series — Volume I, Week 5: Courage When the Path Feels Heavy. New episodes every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

  Held | Monday Week 5 | Deuteronomy 31:6 04.05.2026 11p

  "He will not fail you or forsake you."This is Moses's final word to the people he led — and to Joshua, who must carry everything forward without him. Not a plan. Not a strategy. A fact about God: He goes with you. He will not fail you.In this Lectio Divina episode, Steve Corbin guides you through Deuteronomy 31:6 slowly — sitting with the structure of the command itself. Be strong and bold: not because you are sufficient, but because God goes with you. The courage is grounded entirely in His presence.This episode includes two slow readings of the scripture, guided meditation and prayer, a period of silent contemplation with original instrumental music, and a brief return to the week's theme.

  Held | Week 5 | Courage When the Path Feels Heavy 03.05.2026 7p

  Some mornings the weight of what's ahead hits before you even get out of bed — not one big crisis, just the accumulation of it. Responsibilities that don't let up. Unknowns you can't resolve. And courage feels like something other people have.In this episode, Steve Corbin opens Week 5 of Held with a reframe that changes the whole equation: Scripture doesn't describe courage as a personality trait. It commands it — and every command is grounded entirely in God's presence, not your resolve. The courage you need for today is not something you produce. It's something you receive.This week's anchor is Joshua 1:9. Steve walks through why God commands courage rather than just offering it, what it means that courage is a daily posture rather than a single heroic act, and a morning prayer practice that can change how you begin every day this week.This episode is drawn from Volume I of Held: A Daily Devotional on Fear, Trust, and the Nearness of God — launching Pentecost Sunday, May 24, 2026. New episodes every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
