Week Four: The Hearth

Summary & Takeaway

This week, we stepped away from the blaze and returned to the ember.

We stopped chasing spectacle.
We stopped striving to feel something grand.
Instead, we came close to what remains.

We learned that faith is not sustained by certainty—
but by the quiet, daily tending of presence.
We remembered that Jesus, too, was nourished after the wilderness—
by silence, by friendship, by small acts of love.

We practiced:

– Receiving nourishment instead of forcing momentum
– Honoring the faith that burns low but steady
– Returning to what sustains us in the ordinary
– Letting stillness be enough
– Trusting that shared warmth is part of what keeps us
– Recognizing what has endured, even in silence

And perhaps most tender of all:
we remembered that we are not tending this fire alone.

The Takeaway

Faith is not something we must prove or perform.
It is something we keep.
Something we return to.
Something we feed gently, day by day.

The ember is still alive in you.
Let it be tended.
Let it warm you.

As we prepare to enter the shadows of Holy Week,
carry this truth with you:

What is tended, remains.
Even when it does not burn bright—
it endures.
