Episode 7: Worship and Idolatry

<ul>

<li>Fr. Barry and J.D. reflect on the concept of church as family and the communal experience of attending Mass.</li>

<li>Worship is discussed as a relationship with God, rather than just an activity, and the importance of prioritizing this relationship is emphasized.</li>

<li>The concept of idolatry is explored, highlighting how prioritizing work or other things over God can negatively impact our lives.</li>

<li>The podcast also covers the significance of prayer, the challenges of maintaining a prayer schedule, and the importance of putting God first, for example, in the morning.</li>

<li>The overall message encourages listeners to reflect on their relationship with God, prioritize their spiritual growth, and consider how love and worship shape their daily lives.</li>

</ul>

<p>"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is,</p>

<p>than falling in love in a quite absolute final way.</p>

<p>What you are in love with,</p>

<p>what seizes your imagination,</p>

<p>will affect everything.</p>

<p>It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning,</p>

<p>what you do with your evenings,</p>

<p>how you spend your weekend,</p>

<p>what you read, who you know,</p>

<p>what breaks your heart,</p>

<p>and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.</p>

<p>Fall in love,</p>

<p>stay in love,</p>

<p>and it will decide everything." -Fr. Pedro Arrupe</p>
