Do you find yourself focused on the big stuff while the smaller sins just quietly accumulate? In this episode, Fr Columba draws on the famous broken windows theory from 1990s New York to make a simple but uncomfortable point: the small sins you're ignoring might be exactly what's fuelling the bigger ones. He offers a practical encouragement to look at the low-hanging fruit, deal with the little stuff, and discover that the bigger struggles often begin to lose their grip.
