  • January-The Door to the New Year
    Jan 22 2026

    Epiphany is the Church’s doorway into the new year - a feast that turns Christmas from a celebration into a mission.

    In this episode, we reflect on Christ revealed to the nations, the journey of the Wise Men, and how January invites us to respond with intention, sacrifice, and love refined by prayer.

    Beth explores how Epiphany reveals Jesus as Lord for all people and asks how we will respond now that He has been made known to us, how the gifts of the Magi—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—teach us to offer love, continual prayer, and fasting as participation in Christ’s life, and how spiritual fasting reorders desire, transforms suffering into gift, and sends us home by another way, changed by encounter with Christ.

  • Why January Resolutions Fail
    Jan 15 2026

    January is full of hope - and pressure.

    New plans, new promises, and resolutions that often fade by mid-month.

    In this episode, Beth Bubik explains why resolutions fail and what actually brings lasting change.

    In this episode, we discuss why behavior-based resolutions don’t work and why formation does, how temperance transforms desire at the root, not just actions, and why spiritual fasting succeeds where dieting always fails.

    This is not about motivation or willpower. It’s about order, virtue, and peace in body and soul.

  • How to Plan Your Evening Eating to Win the Battle
    Jan 8 2026

    Late afternoon and evening eating is one of the most common struggles in spiritual fasting—and it’s not a failure of willpower.

    In this episode, Beth teaches why the 4–8pm window is so challenging and how to plan ahead so fasting becomes an act of love instead of a daily battle.

    In this episode, you’ll learn how to understand what’s really happening biologically, emotionally, and spiritually between 4–8pm, plan your afternoons and evenings in advance to eliminate decision fatigue and grazing, and turn late-day hunger into powerful prayer, intercession, and spiritual fasting

    Your 4pm struggle is not a character flaw—it’s a transition hour. When you plan it intentionally, the battle shifts in your favor.
