Question: what is your security blanket? For Gollum, it’s the ring. For Tony Stark, it’s the Iron Man suit. For Woody, it’s his status as a favorite toy. In the gospel for the Sunday, Jesus gives us the foundations of discipleship, and one of those things is getting rid of the unhealthy attachments that prevent us from Jesus. We all have them. We all have those security blankets that bring us false security. The beautiful reality is that Jesus Christ is our ultimate safety and security, and He will never abandon us. So, my invitation for this Sunday is to identify your security blanket, reject your security blanket, and attach yourself to Jesus Christ, who is your ultimate security and safety. This is Spirit Juice. Peace!

God Stays
So, two couples I’m preparing for marriage chose this Sunday’s Gospel for their wedding. So, I asked both couples the same question: “Why did you choose this reading?” Couple number one responded, “Yeah, we chose this gospel because it was the shortest option.” And I was like, “Bruh.” The second couple replied, “We chose this gospel because God wants to remain with us…

Invite Jesus to Your Home
