In this episode, Cathy Richard journeys through a gospel passage that moves from John the Baptist's arrest to Isaiah's prophecy of a great light piercing despair—and culminates in the instant, radical calling of the first disciples. Drawing on personal anecdotes (including a longing for Jesus' gaze and finding solace in creation), Cathy explores what it truly means to say "Thy will be done," to surrender our fears, and to let Christ's light shine through our acts of love, compassion, generosity, and forgiveness. Join Cathy as she discovers how hope arises even in our darkest seasons—and how each of us is invited to become a beacon for others.
