  • Season 5 Episode 174 - Quick to hear and Slow to Speak
    Jul 20 2025

    Send us a text

    In today’s episode of God’s Playbook, we dive into the Letter of Saint James, chapter 1, verses 19–21, where we’re reminded to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. These words offer a powerful reminder that reacting too fast—especially when emotions run high—can lead us away from God’s wisdom. Together with Fr. Rico, we’ll reflect on how listening with intention and responding with patience helps us grow in virtue, character, and holiness. Let’s unpack how this scripture can guide our everyday choices, relationships, and inner peace.

  • Season 5 Episode 173 - Living Waters - Part 2
    Jul 19 2025

    Send us a text

    Welcome back to part two of our mini-series on “The Living Waters.” Today, we continue with John 4:27–42, where the Samaritan woman—after her powerful encounter with Jesus—is completely transformed. Her story reminds us that when we truly meet Christ, it changes not only how we see ourselves but how we share that experience with others. Tune in as we reflect on how faith grows, how we can water the seeds in others, and how our own encounter with Jesus can become a witness to the world around us.

  • Season 5 Episode 172 - Living Waters - Part 1
    Jul 18 2025

    Send us a text

    In today’s episode of God’s Playbook, we kick off a two-part series on the Samaritan woman from John chapter 4—one of the most moving and personal encounters in Scripture. Today, we dive into verses 4 to 26, where Jesus meets a woman at the well and offers her something far greater than water: living water that satisfies the deepest thirst of the soul. This powerful moment reminds us that God meets us in our everyday lives, often when we least expect it. Join us as we reflect on this intimate conversation and prepare our hearts for tomorrow’s continuation of the story.

  • Season 5 Episode 171 - What is Love
    Jul 17 2025

    Send us a text

    Today on God’s Playbook, we explore the timeless question: “What is love?” While you might hear that familiar song in your head, we turn to the Gospel of Matthew 22, where Jesus gives us the real answer—love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbour as yourself. It’s a simple command, but not always easy to live out. Join us as we reflect on how love shapes our relationship with God and one another, and how we’re called to put that love into action every day.
