    Where Are You?

    By Seminarian Stephen A. Codekas
    Originally published September 21, 2026 on Codekas Writes.

    Stephen reflects on the question of where we stand in relation to Christ. In light of the Resurrection, the question becomes deeply personal: not only whether we believe, but whether we are willing to recognize the Lord, answer His call, and follow Him where He leads.

    On Christian Provocation

    By Seminarian Stephen A. Codekas
    Originally published September 14, 2026 on Codekas Writes.

    Stephen argues that Christian witness should be provocative in the deepest sense: not shocking for attention, but living so differently in truth, charity, humility, sacrifice, and fidelity that the world is forced to notice there is another way to live.

    By Halie N. Chrysler-Barr
    Originally published September 11, 2026 on Codekas Writes.

    This guest reflection considers the spiritual meaning of remembrance twenty-five years after September 11. It invites readers to hold memory, grief, prayer, and Christian hope together rather than allowing remembrance to become only an exercise in history.

    The Death of Friendship Shall Be Televised

    By Seminarian Stephen A. Codekas
    Originally published September 7, 2026 on Codekas Writes.

    Stephen examines the modern tendency to interpret deep friendship only through a romantic lens. Drawing on Christian tradition and the dignity of friendship itself, he argues that loyalty, sacrifice, affection, and profound love between friends have a value all their own.

    Hurry Up and Wait

    By Seminarian Stephen Codekas
    Originally published August 10, 2026 on Codekas Writes.

    Stephen reflects on the spiritual discipline of waiting: learning patience, trusting God’s timing, and remaining faithful when answers or direction do not come as quickly as we would like.
