Listen "God in the Cracks"
Episode Synopsis
Is it possible that God is showing up... where you least expect it?In this gentle and slightly mischievous episode of Neon Alchemist, Brother Jay takes us on a contemplative stroll through sidewalk violets, kitchen sinks, cab rides, and even a Taco Bell — yes, really — to explore the idea that the whole world might be sacramental.Rooted in the earthy spirituality of St. Francis, the poetry of Mary Oliver, and a good dash of holy humor, this episode invites you to notice the sacred in the overlooked and ordinary. Along the way, you'll hear short stories of surprise encounters with grace, reflections on what a sacrament really is, and a reminder that sometimes God doesn't kick the door down... sometimes God just quietly rises through the cracks.If you've ever felt a flicker of holiness in a weedy garden, a hospital hallway, or a spoonful of lentils, this one's for you.
