This is an old video from last year I never posted here. Today is the Feast of the Transfiguration in my Catholic faith, one of the most dense Scripture scenes in all of the Bible. Enjoy!

What if the glory you’re chasing can only be reached by walking straight through the fire?

In this lesson, we follow Christ up the mountain of Transfiguration — and then back down into the valleys of real life, real suffering, and real growth. The lesson is simple but hard: the light isn’t found by escaping the world, but by enduring it with grace. From Psalm 23 to the wisdom of Gandalf, from Matthew’s Gospel to the hard-earned grit of student life, this is a call to take up your cross, face the trial, and follow the One King.

No shortcuts. No skipping Good Friday. Glory comes through the Cross.
