Sacred Stops: A Journey Through Holy Places of the Bible
Podcasts with Richard
This summer, while you’re packing for the lake or scrolling travel deals… consider this: what if the most important journey isn’t about where you go, but who you become? In Sacred Stops, we’re visiting eight holy places in the Bible—real places that sparked encounters, transformation, and fresh direction. You may not get on a plane, but you’ll go somewhere.
Sinai – When the Mountain Shakes You

Finding Connection in Ordinary Time;
What Would Jesus Do?
Loneliness may feel heavier during Ordinary Time, a religious season that seems quiet compared to the celebrations of Christmas or Easter. Yet, this quieter stretch in the Church calendar offers a period for healing and connection. When we feel isolated, asking the simple question; “What would Jesus do?” guides us toward deeper relationships and renewed purpose.
Jesus constantly reached out to others, especially those on the margins. He noticed the lonely, the forgotten, and the overlooked. When feeling alone, think of Jesus: perhaps by taking the first step to greet someone new, sending a message to an old friend, or offering a small act of kindness to a neighbour.
Ordinary Time helps steady, quiet growth in faith and love. It’s a time to deepen relationships; not necessarily through grand gestures, but through consistency, listening, and presence. Open your heart to those around you. Trust that small connections can grow into meaningful bonds.
Loneliness is real. Ordinary Time is an opportunity to consider “What would Jesus do?” while leading you to reach out, welcome others, and discover God’s love.
“As we head into summer, remember — you are not forgotten.
Even in the quiet months, even when you are away, you matter.
Your faith, your presence, your kindness — they leave a mark.
And the One who watches over you never sleeps.
So wherever you go, carry this truth:
You are seen, you are known, you are loved. Always.”
Amen!
