About this episode

Fr Columba discusses the danger of replacing direct prayer with consuming religious content.

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 SERIES Little by Little | Episode #266 Little by Little is a weekly video series by Called to More in collaboration with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal.
