In this episode, Fr. Isaac reflects on John the Baptist’s bold, disruptive ministry — a prophet who walked away from privilege, rejected complacency, and stepped into the desert to call Israel back to authentic longing for God. Advent, he reminds us, is our yearly invitation to do the same. When God leads us into the “wilderness,” it’s not punishment but mercy — a stripping away of noise, comfort, and spiritual smugness so we can rediscover our hunger for Him. This episode challenges us to confront where we’ve grown too comfortable, reclaim our desire for renewal, and join the timeless search for the God who is always coming toward us.
