Habits of Holiness

Holiness, in the time you already have.

Holiness isn't a moment of inspiration that fades by Monday. It's a set of habits — small, faithful practices repeated until they become the shape of your life. That's what BEHOLD is built to form. Not a retreat you return from and slowly forget, but daily practices that hold, drawing you closer to God in a way that lasts.

Small, faithful steps — repeated until they become the habits of a soul that abides with Christ.

MEET YOUR GUIDE

You won't climb alone.

Father Chase Hilgenbrink

A former professional athlete who left the game to answer a different call, Father Chase knows what it takes to train for something that matters — and what it costs to keep going.

Across the five-month journey, he walks the trail beside you: opening each phase, drawing on the wisdom of the saints, and gently challenging you to make the climb your own. And you follow not only him, but Our Lady and the saints — the great company who reached the summit before us, each showing a different face of holiness.

THE FIVE-MONTH ASCENT

Five stages up the mountain

The path climbs through five phases, each four weeks long. Twelve cinematic reflections mark the way, alternating with meditations on Our Lady and the saints who walked it before you.

Phase 1 - Begin the Journey

The Life of Grace

You begin in the valley. Before the climb, you lay the foundation — the habits that keep a soul in the state of grace and ready for the ascent.

Phase 2 - The First Climb

The Spiritual Combat

The trail steepens. You learn distrust of self and trust in God — meeting temptation with prayerful aspirations and naming the near occasions of sin to avoid.

Phase 3 - Above the Treeline

Overcoming Patterns of Sin

Here you face the pattern that holds you back — taking on the opposing virtue and a small, hidden mortification to win grace in the struggle.

Phase 4 - The Narrow Path

Abiding with Christ

The air grows thin and the noise falls away. You practice the presence of God and purify the intention behind each ordinary act.

Peace of Heart

At the heights, you see God behind every circumstance and enter His peace — abandoning yourself to His providence with complete trust.
