Do you ever feel like you’re consuming more and more good content, but still not growing closer to God? In this episode, Fr Columba challenges a subtle but serious spiritual trap: replacing contact with God with content about God. While good books, podcasts, and videos can inspire us, they are not the goal. Drawing on simple, practical examples, he shows how we can pause, listen, and respond when God is actually speaking. If your spiritual life feels full but not fruitful, this is an invitation to slow down, make space, and rediscover real encounter with the living God.

Do you struggle to believe that God truly loves you, not just in theory but in your own experience? In this episode, Fr Columba explores why so many people feel unable to receive God’s love, even when they know it is true. He shows how hidden shame and self-rejection can quietly block us from letting that love in, leaving us feeling distant or numb in prayer. By honestly facing what we believe about ourselves and bringing it into the light, we can begin to receive God’s love in a real and transformative way.

Do you find it harder than ever to focus, pray, or pursue the things that really matter? In this episode, Fr Columba explores how constant stimulation and “fast dopamine” habits like endless scrolling can quietly undermine our motivation, discipline, and spiritual life. He explains why the Christian life depends on learning to embrace slower, harder practices like prayer, perseverance, and meaningful relationships. When we step away from cheap rewards and begin to pursue what is truly good, our hearts regain the capacity for peace, purpose, and intimacy with God.
