Ep 72 - Reason, Revelation, and a Baby in a Stable
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On the feast of the Epiphany, we reflect on the many paths that lead people to God. Some, like the Magi, are guided by reason, science, and a careful reading of the signs of the world around them. Others, like the shepherds, encounter God through direct revelation that speaks straight to the heart. And still others come to know God through the Scriptures and the faith handed on by the Church.
This episode explores how these different ways of searching for God are not in competition, but meant to work together. What ultimately matters is not how we arrive, but whether our searching leads us to worship, humility, and the offering of our lives to God. The Magi’s long journey ends not in a palace or a throne room, but before a vulnerable child in a stable — reminding us that God often meets us in ways we least expect.
At its heart, Epiphany invites us to examine our own search for God: are we seeking power, certainty, and control, or are we willing to be surprised, led, and transformed?
