Episode 5 Aug 13, 2026 Does it always feel like you need one more habit, discipline, or productivity practice? St. Paul handled the question of "what do we really need" in his letter to the Colossians, and Fr. Columba Jordan draws on this letter to remind us that the Christian life does not need to be endlessly complicated. In this episode, Fr. Columba invites us to examine our own "spiritual suitcase." Have we filled our lives with practices, habits, self-help, devotions, or even unhealthy spiritual influences that we think are necessary? Sometimes the answer is to simplify, let go of what is unnecessary, and place our trust more fully in Jesus.
