Little by Little

You may have heard, Fr Columba recently broke his leg and is taking some time to rest and recover. While he's off his feet, we're re-showing an old favourite episode, still feels as relevant as ever. Please keep him in your prayers, especially for patience and a steady recovery.Do you spend more time worrying about what's wrong with the Church than actually bringing people to Jesus? In this episode, Fr Columba opens Acts 1, where the disciples press Jesus for information about the kingdom and Jesus redirects them to the mission he's actually given them. He asks a simple, uncomfortable question: is the fruit of your faith showing up in the lives of others, or have the weeds of distraction quietly choked it? A short, honest invitation to check where your energy is really going.

Have you ever felt like faith only lives inside church walls or the pages of the Bible? In this episode, Fr Columba takes something as ordinary as water and uses it to trace the whole shape of the Gospel: Christ pouring himself down into our humanity, descending to the lowest place, shattering the gates of hell, and rising so that we rise with him. Drawing on St Francis of Assisi, he shows how creation itself can lift the heart to God when we learn to see it that way. A simple invitation to let everyday things draw you upward.🔴  THIS SERIESLittle by Little | Episode #269Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

Do you ever ask other people to pray for you? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on something simple, but often overlooked: the power of other people’s prayers. Drawing on his own experience of struggling through a demanding project, he shares how things shifted in a remarkable way once he asked others to pray for him. While we naturally pray for ourselves, there is something different about the prayers of others. God has made us to belong to one another, to depend on one another, and to support each other in prayer. We are not meant to do this alone.🔴  THIS SERIESLittle by Little | Episode #268Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

Do you ever wonder what you can give back to God, especially during Holy Week? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on the striking Gospel moment where Mary pours out an extravagant and costly perfume over Jesus. At first, it seems excessive, even wasteful. But Jesus receives it, because it reveals something of His own heart. What she gives, however great, is still only a glimpse of what He has already given for us. Holy Week is not just about remembering what Jesus did. It is about recognising the depth of His love, and asking how we will respond to it. His gift is not measured or restrained. It is total.🔴  THIS SERIESLittle by Little | Episode #267Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.

Do you ever feel like you’re consuming more and more good content, but still not growing closer to God? In this episode, Fr Columba challenges a subtle but serious spiritual trap: replacing contact with God with content about God. While good books, podcasts, and videos can inspire us, they are not the goal. Drawing on simple, practical examples, he shows how we can pause, listen, and respond when God is actually speaking. If your spiritual life feels full but not fruitful, this is an invitation to slow down, make space, and rediscover real encounter with the living God.🔴  THIS SERIESLittle by Little | Episode #266Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.
