"You are the light of the world." It’s a bold claim from Jesus, but how do we actually keep that light from flickering out?

In this episode, we explore the "blueprints" for a radiant life found in this week's readings with reflections and songs. From the prophetic challenge of Isaiah, who reminds us that our light breaks forth only when we share our bread with the hungry, to St. Paul’s raw admission that true power comes through weakness rather than eloquence, we find a common thread: Faith is a verb. We dive into the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus calls us to be the world’s "salt" and "city on a hill." We discuss what it means to live in a way that directs the spotlight away from ourselves and toward the "Glory of the Father." If you’ve been feeling like a lamp under a bushel basket, this episode is your invitation to step back onto the lampstand.
