  7 Deadly Sins: Greed & Envy 26.05.2026 31мин

  Welcome back! In our continuing series on the 7 Deadly Sins, today we dive into the sins of Greed and Envy — two sins that quietly consume the heart and pull us away from God. Due to the length of this series and the intense spiritual warfare that came with filming these episodes, we decided to split the series into multiple parts. If you haven’t watched our discussion on Pride, be sure to check out our previous episode: “Mortal vs. Venial Sin & the Deadliest Sin.” In our next episode, we’ll be covering: • Wrath • Lust • Gluttony • Sloth Join us as we have an honest conversation about the dangers of these sins, how they affect our relationship with God, and how we can surrender them to Christ and abide in Him. Our prayer is that this series helps bring conviction, healing, and a deeper desire for holiness.

  Mortal vs Venial Sin & The Deadliest Sin 12.05.2026 28мин

  In this episode of Mortal vs. Venial & The Deadliest Sin, we officially celebrate 1 MONTH on mission here in Zaragoza, Spain 🇪🇸 We share some of the moments, experiences, challenges, and the incredible ways we’ve seen God move during this first month. From conversations to unexpected blessings, God has been showing up in BIG ways and we can’t wait to tell you about it. We also dive deep into: What mortal sin and venial sin actually are Why understanding sin matters in our walk with Christ The beginning of our new 3-part series on the 7 Deadly Sins This episode’s focus: PRIDE — one of the deadliest and most destructive sins Tune in to hear more details and join the conversation. 🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 The kids here in Zaragoza Spain come to a place called Actur where they are given a second chance at education. Many come from vulnerable families, including immigrants and refugees. These kids have had to grow up fast, and Actur is often the only place where they truly get to be kids. But their patio, their only “backyard” — is falling apart. There is loose gravel everywhere, only one small drinking fountain that is already breaking down, and the patio hasn’t been renovated in 28 years. We want to help change that. Our mission is to help build the kids the patio of their dreams, a safe place to play, laugh, grow, and simply be children again. With God’s help and yours, we are launching a GoFundMe to help make this possible. If you feel led to support financially, the link is below. And if you’re unable to give, sharing this with others would mean the world to us. Help kids be kids in the only backyard they have. https://www.gofundme.com/f/un-patio-seguro?attribution_id=sl:9fccd178-78f3-4728-b130-cf48557c8f46&lang=es_ES&ts=1777910855&utm_campaign=man_sharesheet_dash&utm_content=amp20_t1&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link Also, don’t forget to check out our latest merch drop! https://www.etsy.com/listing/4458736524/we-abide-in-him-john-154?utm_source=OpenGraph&utm_medium=PageTools&utm_campaign=Share https://www.etsy.com/listing/4458738496/we-abide-in-him-john-656?utm_source=OpenGraph&utm_medium=PageTools&utm_campaign=Share

  Bringing Back Reverence 17.03.2026 45мин

  To all Christians — somewhere along the way, we’ve gotten a little too comfortable. Not out of bad intention… but over time, we’ve forgotten the weight of where we are and Who we’re before. The way we dress for church reflects the posture of our hearts not out of pressure, but out of love. It’s time to revive the reverence we were always meant to carry. We’re not going somewhere ordinary… we’re coming before God. And while He is our Friend, He is first our God. This isn’t just for Catholics. It’s for Protestants, Orthodox for every Christian. Reverence isn’t a tradition, it’s a response to who He is. The Eucharist is not just a symbol it is the Body of Christ. And if we truly believed that, it would change how we enter, how we sit, how we speak. Silence matters.
A quiet church before Mass.
Stillness after.
Remembering His house isn’t our social space. Reverence isn’t outdated, it’s missing. And if it feels like it’s been lost… don’t wait for others. Let it begin with you!

  Purity 03.02.2026 1ч 13мин

  In this episode, we have a real and raw conversation about purity. We’re not speaking from a place of judgment, but from lived experience, prayer, repentance, and a deep love for the souls listening. Because when you truly love someone, you don’t water down the truth you walk with them toward it. We don’t sugarcoat anything in this episode, not because we’re harsh, but because holiness matters. Your heart matters. Your future matters. Purity is not a restriction meant to suffocate you; it’s a protection meant to free you and lead you into deeper intimacy with Christ. The Church doesn’t call us to purity to condemn us, but to heal us, restore us, and teach us how to love rightly. Wherever you are in your journey whether you’ve fallen, are striving, or are just beginning to ask questions this conversation is for you. We speak honestly because we love you. We speak boldly because truth saves. And we speak with hope because Christ makes all things new. We are not perfect ourselves. We are learning to walk in purity too and we’re inviting you to join us as we strive to abide in Him, together, with purity.

  One Year Abiding In Him 20.01.2026 51мин

  One year of abiding in Him! Today marks one full year since we released our very first episode of We Abide In Him and our hearts are overwhelmed with gratitude. This past year has been filled with holy moments and hard moments, stretching seasons and sacred encounters with God. Through it all, the Lord has been faithful. This podcast has been a place where obedience met vulnerability, where our friendship was refined and became apart of the foundation for everything God wanted to build. In this episode, we reflect on all the ways God has moved in our lives and through this space over the last year, the lessons learned, the growth we didn’t expect, and the grace that carried us. As we look ahead, we do so together trusting God with what's next, confident that God will continue to guide and grow us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being apart of this family. We love you deeply and hold each one of you in our prayers. May we continue to grow, listen, and remain rooted together, abiding in Him every step of the way and may God bless our 2026!

  Christ Mass: The Word Made Flesh 22.12.2025 45мин

  In a world that tells us Christmas is about lights, gifts, and passing joy, the Church gently calls us back to the truth: Christmas begins with a gift the world could never give itself, God choosing to enter our humanity. In this episode, we reflect on the Birth of Our Lord, the night the eternal Word took flesh and salvation was born in a manger. We contemplate what Christ came to do by becoming small, how His humility, obedience, and boundless love marked the dawn of our redemption. We journey to Bethlehem to consider the meaning of the Nativity and the quiet power of a God who allowed Himself to be held, adored, and laid in straw for our sake. This mystery has been cherished and handed on by the Church since the earliest centuries, formally celebrated as Christmas in 336 AD, not as a mere custom, but as a profound confession of faith. We also explore how this holy mystery was brought closer to the faithful through St. Francis of Assisi, whose living Nativity invited hearts not simply to remember Christ’s birth, but to enter into it with reverence and love. Come, draw near to the manger and behold the gift given for you. Go and share the good news—Christ is born! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.

  The Sacrament at The Service of Communion & Mission 16.12.2025 54мин

  The Sacrament at The Service of Communion & Mission: Holy Orders & Matrimony In this final episode of our Seven Sacraments series, we reflect on Holy Orders and Matrimony—the sacraments not ordered toward the self, but toward the sanctification of others. Holy Orders reveals Christ still at work in His Church. Through the laying on of hands and apostolic succession, a man is configured to Christ the High Priest, called to teach, sanctify, and shepherd God’s people. The priesthood is not authority for its own sake, but sacrificial fatherhood—Christ loving His Bride through human hands. Matrimony, too, is a vocation of self-gift. More than a contract or ceremony, marriage is a sacrament that makes visible Christ’s covenant with the Church. In faithful, fruitful, and total love, spouses become living signs of the Cross—where love is proven by endurance, sacrifice, and daily surrender. Together, Holy Orders and Matrimony reveal God’s design for love: a love that gives itself away so others may live. As we conclude this series, we are invited to ask not only what we believe—but how we are called to give our lives in return.

  The Sacraments of Healing 01.12.2025 38мин

  The Sacraments of Healing — Anointing of the Sick & Reconciliation At the heart of the Church’s life are the Sacraments of Healing—gifts Christ Himself entrusted to His Church so that no wound, no sin, and no suffering would ever have the final word. In them, Jesus continues His work as the Divine Healer, drawing near to His children with mercy that restores, lifts, and transforms. Anointing of the Sick In the Anointing of the Sick, Christ bends close to us in our frailty. He enters our suffering not as a distant observer but as the One who carried the Cross and knows every pain we bear. By uniting our sufferings to His own, He gives them meaning, turning what feels heavy into a hidden place of grace. Whether He grants physical healing, strengthens the soul, or offers peace in the midst of trial, He reminds us that no suffering is wasted when it is surrendered to Him. It becomes, in His hands, a quiet way of glorifying God. Reconciliation In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Jesus continues to heal—this time the wounds sin leaves upon the soul. He lifts the weight we cannot carry, restores the innocence we thought we lost, and reconciles us to the Father with a mercy that renews us from within. Confession is not simply starting over; it is being made new. Every absolution is Christ whispering His love again, drawing us deeper into His heart. Our return to Him, humble and sincere, becomes an act of praise that glorifies His mercy. These sacraments reveal a God who refuses to leave His children in their brokenness—a Savior who forgives, restores, strengthens, and heals. Through them, Jesus shows us that His mercy is not an idea but a living encounter, a touch of divine love that meets us precisely where we are and brings us back to Him.

  Q&A With Father Franco - Salesian Vice Provincial 04.11.2025 55мин

  In this powerful episode, we dive straight into the reality of spiritual warfare — no sugarcoating, no half-truths. Father Franco, Salesian Vice Provincial from Goa, India, joins us to shed light on what it truly means to live aware of the spiritual world and to stand firm in faith when the enemy tries to attack. He speaks with honesty, boldness, and deep wisdom — revealing how the spiritual realm affects our daily lives, our thoughts, and even the ways we respond to God’s call. In this conversation, we also talk about what true deliverance really means — not just as a dramatic event, but as a daily journey of freedom, healing, and surrender to Christ. If you’ve ever felt caught in a battle between light and darkness, or sensed that there’s more happening beneath the surface of this world, this episode will awaken your spirit and deepen your understanding of the unseen battle we face. It’s a powerful reminder that we’re not fighting against flesh and blood, but against forces far greater — and that through faith, we already have the victory. Tune in!

  Answering The Call: 2025 Salesian Lay Missioners 20.10.2025 29мин

  In this special episode, we sit down with Adam, Director of Salesian Missions, and the 2025 Salesian Lay Missioners — a group of young Catholics preparing to be sent forth to serve communities around the world. Together, we explore the heart of the Salesian mission: bringing Christ’s joy, hope, and love to the young and the poor, especially in places where the Church needs helping hands. Adam shares his own missionary story and how serving others through the Salesian family has transformed his life for the better. You’ll also get a glimpse into the hearts of the 11 new lay missioners — their personal mission statements, where they’re being sent, and the deep faith that moves them to say “yes” to God’s call. As Jesus reminds us, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few” (Luke 10:2). This conversation is an invitation to reflect on your own call — to serve, to love, and to be present where God is leading you. If you feel that tug on your heart while watching — a desire to serve, to grow in faith, or to live the Gospel more deeply — we encourage you to reach out to Salesian Missions. Your “yes” could be the beginning of something extraordinary.

  Fear of The Lord 25.08.2025 29мин

  In this episode of We Abide in Him, we reflect on what it truly means to fear God. So often, the phrase ‘fear of the Lord’ is misunderstood. Many imagine a God who drives us away in terror — but the Church teaches something far more beautiful. To fear the Lord is to recognize His majesty, His holiness, and His fatherly love that commands both reverence and trust. It is the awe that moves us to kneel, the humility that draws us to obedience, and the love that compels us to run into His arms rather than away. This holy fear doesn’t distance us from Him; it brings us closer, shaping our hearts to live in His will. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Psalm 111:10

  New Age Isn't New 29.07.2025 36мин

  New Age Isn’t New. Not all spirituality leads to holiness. Some roads promise light but lead to confusion, pride, and even darkness. In this episode, we expose the ancient lies hidden in “new age”. Join us as we gently unveil these ancient deceptions and point towards the only Source of true freedom and healing, Jesus Christ.
