What does it really mean to return to the Lord?
This morning, broadcasting from Chesterton Radio in Atchison, Kansas, our hosts explore one of the most misunderstood ideas in the spiritual life: that progress begins not by moving forward—but by turning back.
Drawing from today’s Morning Prayer (Lauds), including “Come, let us return to the Lord” (Hosea 6), this conversation moves beyond surface-level religion into something deeper, more human, and more hopeful.
Why do we resist repentance?
Why is self-knowledge harder than solving the world’s problems?
And what if God has already found us—long before we begin looking?
This is not a sermon.
It’s a conversation—thoughtful, honest, and quietly transformative.
