Our Name, History, and Devotions

Our Name, History, and Devotions

It's been a year since the birth of the Red Sunflowers podcast. Although our first episode wasn't released until a few months later, July of 2020 was when things started to take shape for this podcast. We discuss a bit about the history of our podcast, including the reasoning behind the name. July is traditionally dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus, so we also spend some time sharing about this devotion and other devotions we have.   

Our intention this month is for good, wholesome, and rejuvenating recreation. Have a great summer.   

Here's the poem, "Come over to me" by Fr. Thomas Dominic Rover, O.P.
Come over to me, all you who are restless, and I will teach you how to be quiet, how to leave yourself alone.  
Come over to me, all you who are anxious, even if I don't take your anxiety away, I will change it into fresh currency,
as you turn your cares
into greater belief in my caring.   

Come over to me, all you who are lonely,
I was lonely too,
and could find no place
to lay my head.   

Come over to me, all you who worry
what others really think about you.
It doesn't matter.
They misunderstood me, no matter what I did.   

Come over to me, all you who are always
talking and pleading and explaining yourselves to others.
I know you inside out. I know the worst.
So you can come to me without any explanations. 

Come over to me, all you whose great plans for yourself have failed.
You don't know how lucky you are.
And others too.   

Come over to me, all you who can't stand yourselves.
I touched lepers,
and once I called a man out of a tomb
who had been stinking there for four days.
So come over to me–
I can stand just about anything.   

Come over to me, all you who can't stand other people.
I know what is behind their misery.
I know the worst in them
as I know it in you.
And I embrace you both.   

Come over to me, all you who fret about the past.
I was there, I was part of your past,
and I have forgotten all about it.
So be like me and forget it too.   

Come over to me, all you who can't live peacefully in the present.
Come to me now, without reserve.
That is the way to live peacefully in the present.   

Come over to me, all you who fear the future.
Do not fear. I am your future.

Not Feeling the Love

Not Feeling the Love

In this episode, we talk about our mugs for an absurd amount of time. And then finally, we get to our topic, which is about being faithful even when you don't feel it. We discuss some of our own struggles with this and what the Lord showed us through it.  

Grace's quote of the episode: "I was talking about the Lord...I think" 🤷‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
Val's quote of the episode: "Because it's like, yeah!" 💡
How many train of thought derailments can happen in one episode?

Identity: You Are a Child of God & You Are Very Good

Identity: You Are a Child of God & You Are Very Good

Welcome to our first full episode! Thanks for coming back and tuning in as we discuss identity.
Identity is one of the foundations of our relationship with Jesus. It tells us not only who we are, but who we are in relation to God, Our Father. In this we find rest, security, and unending love. Because of this it is necessary for us to revisit this reality frequently and rest in His security. We invite you to sit with the Lord and ask him to tell you who you are and, perhaps, more importantly, whose you are. We hope this episode blesses you!
Our podcast is also available on YouTube.
