Enkindle 142 – 01.22.23 – Only One Thing

In this reflection for the third Sunday in ordinary time, Kristen Fisher shows how the readings are meant to remind us that knowing God is the only thing that can truly make us happy.

Whatever thing we’re wishing for, we think that will make us happy. But we’re always coming up disappointed. It’s like stumbling around in the dark and never finding the thing we’re looking for. But Isaiah says that God will bring us abundant joy and great rejoicing. David knew the answer. He knew the real source of happiness.And in our gospel reading, we see how some of the apostles discovered it too.

Kristen Fisher
Executive Director at  | + EPISODES
Kristen was raised in a Catholic family, but it wasn't until middle school when she really encountered the Lord. Her faith journey ultimately led her to graduate from Franciscan University with a Bachelors Degree in theology and anthropology, and she left with a heart that was ready to share the Faith in the same way that had changed her own life; youth ministry. Kristen served as a youth minister in the Archdiocese of Baltimore for 16 years, spending most of her time serving middle schoolers and their families, specifically. She left parish ministry to join our team as we seek to equip and empower families to evangelize their own kids in a fun, authentic and dynamic way, all while working alongside parish evangelists. Kristen has been married to her husband Greg for  15 years, and together they are blessed to be raising 4 children.
