Summary

Held: Daily Lectio Divina for Anxious Hearts

Fear doesn’t wait for a convenient moment.

Neither does God.

Held is a Catholic audio devotional for people who carry fear and anxiety into their days. Three times a week, Steve Corbin guides you through Lectio Divina, the ancient practice of praying with Scripture. There are no tidy fixes here, and nothing to get right. You are met where you are, in the middle of it, where God is already present.

Each episode follows the same unhurried rhythm: a prayer to the Holy Spirit, a slow reading of Scripture, then time to meditate, pray, and rest in silence. You decide how long each pause lasts. Pause the episode whenever you need to. Take as long as you like. Plan on 12 to 15 minutes of quiet.

Held began as a four-volume devotional series, and the podcast is a companion to the books. Each week follows the book’s theme, from fear and trust to surrender, hope, and peace. You don’t need the books to listen, and you can start at any episode.

New episodes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Be patient. Be steady. Be present. You are Held.
