  Ep 102 - “Duped by God?”

  Aug 29, 20269 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Brother from Another Father , Fr Isaac reflects on the moments when faith can leave us feeling as though we have been “duped by God.” Drawing from the story of Jeremiah, his own experience of religious life, and Peter’s expectations of Jesus, he explores the difference between what we think God has promised us and what God is actually calling us towards. A reflection on disappointment, suffering, faith and the unexpected ways God brings new life through the crosses we carry.

  Ep 101 - The Question Before the Answer

  Aug 22, 202612 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail Father Isaac explores what it really means to call Jesus “Christ” — reminding us that Christ is not Jesus' surname, but a title meaning “anointed one” or Messiah. More importantly, he asks whether we have sometimes rushed to Jesus as the answer without first asking the deeper questions that lie within our own lives. What are we looking for salvation from? What are we longing for? What does our world need to be saved from, and what do we need to be saved from ourselves? Peter's journey to recognising Jesus as the Messiah was shaped by years of waiting, questioning and searching. We too are invited to do that soul work — to bring our deepest questions to Jesus and discover how his life, words and actions speak into them. And there is a beautiful final movement in the Gospel: when Peter recognises who Jesus is, Jesus tells Peter who he is. In recognising Christ, Peter discovers his own identity and mission. This Sunday, Father Isaac invites us to ask not only “Who is Jesus?” , but also “Who is Jesus for me?” — and to allow that answer to reveal who we are called to become.

  Ep 100 - The Grace of Encounter

  Aug 16, 202610 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail In Episode 100 of Brother from Another Father , Father Isaac Fernandes reflects on the encounter between Jesus and the Canaanite woman — a Gospel passage that invites us to take seriously both Jesus' humanity and the prejudices shaped by our upbringing and culture. The Canaanite woman's persistence challenges Jesus' assumptions about who is worthy of God's mercy, and her encounter with him becomes a moment of transformation. From this story, Father Isaac explores how prejudice can be deeply embedded within us, often without our awareness, and why genuine encounter with people who are different from us is essential to overcoming it. The journey beyond prejudice is not an instant conversion but a gradual one. Like the early Church's growing understanding that God's salvation was intended for all people, we too are invited to remain open to the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes, it is through the person we least expect that God teaches us to see the world — and ourselves — differently.

  Ep 99 - Walking on Water

  Aug 8, 202610 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail In Episode 99 of Brother from Another Father , Father Isaac Fernandes reflects on the storms we encounter in life and the challenge of recognising God's presence in the midst of them. Drawing on Elijah's encounter with God in the still, small voice and Peter's attempt to walk on water, he explores why God is not the cause of the chaos in our lives, even though God remains present within it. Peter's journey becomes an invitation to face our fears, step outside our comfort zones, and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus rather than on the storms around us. Faith, Father Isaac suggests, grows when we are willing to take risks, stumble, and allow Christ to catch us. As a Shona proverb reminds us, “Mbwende haina bahanga” — a coward does not have scars. Sometimes, we have to step into the storm to discover that Jesus is waiting on the other side.

  Ep 98 - The Treasure Worth Everything

  Jul 25, 202610 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail Why do so many people spend their lives chasing happiness, only to find themselves unfulfilled? Reflecting on Jesus' parable of the hidden treasure, this episode explores the difference between pursuing happiness and discovering the treasure God has prepared for each of us. Drawing on the wisdom of King Solomon, the insights of St. Ignatius of Loyola, and Jesus' teaching, Fr. Isaac shows that joy is not life's ultimate goal—it is the fruit of finding and embracing God's unique call. When we discover the treasure worth everything, sacrifice no longer feels like a loss, but a joyful response to something infinitely greater.
