What if your holiness were as easy as watching what you see, hear, and speak? Today on the Good Friday Sister podcast, we continue with our five-week series: Guard Your Senses. Why does this matter? Because our senses are gateways to our heart and mind, and when we are vigilant, we transform our lives and become the saints we are called to be. In today’s final episode, we are talking about the importance of guarding our hearts and minds. But which one takes priority? The heart? Or should we guard our mind first? Here’s the thing: The Devil rarely attacks your intellect first. Oh no…he aims for your heart. He plants a spark of envy, a sting of rejection, a flash of disappointment, a moment of lust. Then he sits back and watches your mind spend the next three weeks spinning and ruminating, building an entire infrastructure of obsessive thoughts around a story that may or may not be true, but you feel it in your heart, and so your mind follows. The moral of the story? If you don’t want to lose your mind, you better guard your heart. I’d put on a fresh pot of coffee if I were you…you’re going to want to be wide awake for this one. Key Takeaways. When Scripture talks about the heart, it refers to more than the organ in our bodies that pumps blood. It is about the inner person. The call to “be vigilant” means we do not leave the door of our hearts unattended. We pay attention to what is entering, what is taking root, and what is beginning to influence the way we think, feel, speak, and live. The heart and mind are connected. We must live according to the Spirit; cultivate a mature faith. One that isn’t led by our fluctuating feelings and fleshly desires, but by the Holy Spirit. Key Scripture. Proverbs 4:23: Keep your heart with all vigilance; for from it flow the springs of life. Proverbs 14:12: There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. Deuteronomy 6:5-6: Love the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you this day shall be upon your heart. Romans 12:2: Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Colossians 3:2: Set your mind on things above, not on things on earth. Romans 8:5-6: For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. Ephesians 4:14: so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles. Isaiah 43:4: You are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you.

What if your holiness were as easy as watching what you see, hear, and speak? Today on the Good Friday Sister podcast, we continue with our five-week series: Guard Your Senses. Why does this matter? Because our senses are gateways to our heart and mind, and when we are vigilant, we transform our lives and become the saints we are called to be. In today’s episode, we are still talking about sins of the tongue…because there are just so many! The main focus? Criticism. When is criticism constructive, when is it destructive, and when should we simply stay quiet? As usual, you can expect to leave this episode with practical advice, holy hope, and a few laughs. If you’ve been known to make a critical comment or two, pour your favorite beverage and settle in. Key Takeaways Criticism is identifying, evaluating, or expressing disapproval of a person’s actions, qualities, choices, or perceived faults. For criticism to be constructive, it has got to be said with love, and the goal is always restoration. Never condemnation. Destructive criticism is usually characterized by a spirit of judgment and condemnation. Perfectionists tend to be overly critical. The whole point of the Christian life is not to avoid sin…but to love God. Key Scripture Proverbs 27:17: As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Galatians 6:1: Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. Matthew 7:1-2: Do not judge, or you will be judged. For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Romans 14:10: Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. Psalm 34:1: I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. Hebrews 13:15: Through Jesus Christ, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. Psalm 51:15: Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise. Psalm 119:171: May my lips overflow with praise, for you teach me your decrees. Romans 15:11: And again, ‘Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; let all the peoples extol him. Hebrews 3:13: Encourage one another daily. Proverbs 12:25: An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up. 1 Thessalonians 5:11: Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. Ephesians 4:29: Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Matthew 12:36-37: I tell you, on the day of judgment men will render account for every careless word they utter; for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

What if your holiness were as easy as watching what you see, hear, and speak? Today on the Good Friday Sister podcast, we continue with our five-week series: Guard Your Senses. Why does this matter? Because our senses are gateways to our heart and mind, and when we are vigilant, we transform our lives and become the saints we are called to be. In today’s episode, Laura talks about the discipline of the tongue, the power of words, and why we all need to stop complaining! But like a good Good Friday Sister, she doesn’t just tell you to stop; she shows you how. If your tongue is what’s keeping you from becoming holy, this one is for you! Key Takeaways. Our words have spiritual consequences. Behind every complaint is a lazy desire. Habitual complaining reinforces negative patterns in our minds. What if we turned our complaints into gratitude? Key Scripture. Proverbs 21:23: He who keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble. James 3:2b-18: The Tongue is a Flame Genesis 1:3-5: And the Lord God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. John 1:14: The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. James 3:9-10: With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be so. Philippians 4:8: Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 2:14: Do everything without complaining and arguing. 2 Corinthians 2:14: But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. Proverbs 16:24: Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. James 1:19: Be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.

What if your holiness were as easy as watching what you see, hear, and speak? Today on the Good Friday Sister podcast, we continue with our five-week series: Guard Your Senses. Why does this matter? Because our senses are gateways to our heart and mind, and when we are vigilant, we transform our lives and become the saints we are called to be. In today’s episode, Laura talks about taking custody of the ears; protecting our hearts by considering what and who we choose to listen to. We are bombarded by constant noise- so many voices that unknowingly shape and form us. Not every voice deserves access to our heart, and so it begs the question: whose voice do you listen to? Tune in…this is an episode you definitely want to listen to! Key Takeaways. The voices we listen to become the voices we belong to. To spot the voice of the liar, we have to know the voice of truth better. Guarding our ears is more than eliminating or avoiding harmful or impure things…it is about being attentive to God’s voice. Hearing is not the same as listening. Key Scripture. Mark 4:24: Consider carefully what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and even more will be added to you. Genesis 3:1-7 Proverbs 2:2: Make your ear attentive to wisdom and incline your heart to understanding. Rom 6:16: Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? Isaiah 55:3: Incline your ear and come to Me; listen, so that your soul may live. John 16:33: In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer; I have conquered the world. John 15:18,20: If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you. Mark 4:24: Consider carefully what you hear. James 1:22: Be doers of the word, not hearers. 1 Samuel 3:10: Speak, Lord; your servant is listening. 1 Samuel 16:7: Man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart. Isaiah 43:4: You are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you. Ephesians 2:10: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Luke 12:15: Take heed, and beware of all covetousness; for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. Matthew 16:26: What will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Romans 12:2: Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Proverbs 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. John 10:27: My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

What if your holiness were as easy as watching what you see, hear, and speak? Today on the Good Friday Sister podcast, we kick off a new, important five-week series: Guard Your Senses. Why does this matter? Because our senses are gateways to our heart and mind, and when we are vigilant, we transform our lives and become the saints we are called to be. In today’s episode, Laura talks about taking custody of the eyes. From Eve in the Garden of Eden to our modern obsession with screens and social media, we’ll examine how temptation can begin with something as simple as a glance, and how an unchecked gaze can lead to eternal consequences. The good news? We may not be able to control everything that catches our eyes, but we can learn some tricks to help maintain boundaries and turn our attention toward what is good, true, and beautiful. Grab a notebook and pen…this is an episode you’ll want to remember. Key Takeaways. Guarding the senses is deeply rooted in biblical teachings. The word “custody” comes from a Latin word, “custos”, which means “guardian”. The temptation in the Garden of Eden followed a recognizable pattern: thought → imagination → delight → evil motion → consent. Practical challenge: Try a three-day “Visual Fast.” Identify one visual source that drains your peace and replace it with something that brings peace, beauty, gratitude, or life. Key Scripture. Matthew 6:22-23: The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. Matthew 5:29: If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. Genesis 3:1-7: Fall of Man Proverbs 4:25: Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your gaze be focused right before you. 1 John 2:16: For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. Psalm 119:37: Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.

Join Laura Mary Phelps, host of the Good Friday podcast, as she continues her four-week series: Creating a Holy Rhythm: Finding Peace In A World That Never Stops. Today’s episode is all about being prepared, and the secret to a well-ordered day: intentional preparation the evening before. God Himself divides time into a repeating cycle that begins with evening rest and moves into morning activity. This literal pattern offers a template for ordering our days. And it begins with the evening! What do your evenings look like? Do you make space for evening prayer or do you go, go, go and scroll, scroll, scroll until you finally collapse in your bed? The reality is…the way you live tonight shapes your tomorrow… and your eternity. You might want to grab a pen and paper for this one. It’s deeper than you realize. Key Takeaways. Tomorrow begins tonight. The way we prepare for the next day—physically, mentally, and spiritually—can shape the peace and order we experience when morning comes. Rest isn’t simply about stopping; it’s about preparing our hearts. Night prayer gives us a chance to turn our attention away from our worries and toward God, so we wake up thinking about Him rather than immediately thinking about our to-do lists. An ordered exterior can help cultivate an ordered interior. Simple acts like cleaning the kitchen, putting things away, preparing coffee, and setting out prayer materials require discipline and self-control—and those small acts can strengthen us spiritually. God is a God of order and peace. The creation story in Genesis presents God bringing order out of chaos and establishing a rhythm of evening and morning—a pattern Laura suggests can become a template for ordering our own days. Spiritual preparation is different from simply looking prepared. External religious practices can be good and beautiful, but Jesus sees what is happening in our hearts. True readiness requires an interior relationship with God. You can look prepared on the outside without actually being prepared on the inside. True spiritual readiness comes from cultivating your own relationship with Christ. Key Scripture. Genesis 1:1-5: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. Genesis 1:23: And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day. 1 Corinthians 14:33: For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace. Proverbs 12:1: Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid. Hebrews 12:5-6: My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you. For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives. Matthew 24:42: Keep watch because you do not know the day your Lord will come. Luke 12:40: Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come. Luke 16:15: You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. Matthew 25:1–13: The Parable of the Ten Virgins 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.

Are you living a well-balanced life, or are you running around like a chicken with its head cut off? Join Laura Mary Phelps, host of the Good Friday podcast, as she continues her four-week series, Creating a Daily Rhythm: Finding Peace In A World That Never Stops. Today’s episode is “No Time To Rest,” and we are going to take an honest look at the modern traps of self-imposed busyness, technology’s false promise of free time, and the neurological dopamine hits that keep us addicted to constant activity. We often treat rest and work as opposites, believing that we are either a Martha or a Mary. But what if this isn’t true? What if we can have a contemplative heart while living in a chaotic world? What if prayer and activity can coexist? What if it is possible to stop the frantic hustle, recognize our time-wasters, and reclaim our time for the Lord? Grab your coffee and have a seat, my friend. It’s time to rest. Key Takeaways. Ora et Labora: St. Benedict viewed prayer and work as partners, proving we can maintain a contemplative heart in a chaotic world. The Trap of Busyness: Busyness is not a badge of honor. It is a badge of disobedience. True Rest vs. Escape: The things we do “to get away from it all” are temporary fixes. True rest is found only in an intimate relationship with God. The Spiritual Battle: The enemy delights in a rushed, noisy schedule because the lack of silence keeps us from hearing God’s voice. Key Scripture. Genesis 2:2-3: And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation.” Isaiah 30:15: For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, ‘In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength. Matthew 11:28: Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

We live in a culture of constant notifications, impossible to-do lists, and the pressure to produce. That’s the bad news. But here is the good news: Jesus offers a different way. Join Laura Mary Phelps, host of the Good Friday Sister podcast, as she kicks off a four-week series: Creating a Holy Rhythm: Finding Peace In A World That Never Stops. Today’s episode is all about urgency: the feeling that we are falling behind, that we cannot keep up, and that everything is equally important. Here’s the thing: life isn’t a fire drill. We can slow down. How? Well, the answer might surprise you, because it isn’t about a better time-management system, but rather, a deeper, interior transformation. Intrigued? Of course, you are. If you are ready to live a life ordered by prayer rather than pressure, grab a coffee and settle. Sister, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways. But urgency and importance are not the same thing. Prayer comes before action. Ask yourself: what work has become your “whole life”? The ultimate invitation is to exchange “everything is urgent” for urgency in our obedience to God and in spreading the Gospel. Key Scripture. Luke 10:38–42: Martha and Mary Romans 13:11–12: And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep. Matthew 24:42: Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. Matthew 3:2: Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. John 9:4: While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work. Resources & Links Mentioned.
