Cynthia Erivo, a queer woman, just starred as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. Culture is calling it powerful and revolutionary. I'm calling it what it is: blasphemy. In this video, I break down the dangerous theology of Jesus Christ Superstar, why Hollywood loves to rewrite Jesus, and how feminism, queer ideology, and progressive theology have hijacked the gospel for their own agenda. This isn't about race or sexuality… it's about truth. God will not be mocked. Jesus is not a character. He is the risen King, and He's coming back.       -       Follow me on Instagram: @AngelamarieScafidi       -       Ways to Support the Show:      

Pastor JD explains why God, through the Prophetic Zechariah is the one to judge and avenge those who wrongfully oppress and oppose us so as to instead point us to Jesus and what He did for us.

Matthew presents Jesus Christ as the Jesus as the Mashiach Nagid, the Messiah the King, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. It was written by a Jew, to Jews, about a Jew. This book of the Bible uses more Old Testament quotes than any other. The Gospel of Matthew emphasizes the saying of Jesus, including ten parables not found in any other Gospel. After first establishing the royal genealogy, he then goes on to focus on the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. Matthew uses the term "fulfilled" 82 times! Many scholars now believe that the Gospel was written before Paul's first imprisonment of 57-60 A.D., and that virtually all of the New Testament books were written before Jerusalem's destruction. This study contains 24 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 11-01-2006 Recorded: 2006

What does it look like to stand with a community through fire—both literal and systemic?  In this conversation, Rev. Marcos Canales and Rev. Dr. Robert Chao Romero join Rachael Clinton Chen to share their experiences leading and loving the Latino community in the Los Angeles area, especially during recent times of crisis. From homes lost and families displaced by devastating wildfires this year to the crushing weight of recent unjust immigration policies that threaten daily survival, these realities are urgent and relentless. Amid these challenges, they share how they create space for lament, fierce hope, and necessary rest in their lives as leaders. They show what it means to bear witness with empathy, stand in true solidarity, and nurture resilience when the world feels like it's falling apart. Beyond politics, agendas, and policies, their witness points to a deeper hope in Jesus—one that sustains, heals, and empowers communities to keep moving forward. We invite you to listen, learn, and be moved by their wisdom—shaped by personal and communal healing.

Patrick answers pressing questions from listeners, ranging from whether Judas’ betrayal had to happen for Christ’s crucifixion to practical struggles like being distracted by phones at Mass or how to approach a parent remarried outside the Church. He mixes clear Church teaching with plainspoken encouragement, reminding callers about God’s timeless perspective, the meaning behind Catholic discipline, and how to find spiritual focus even amid modern distractions. Forgiveness, confession, feast days, and the placement of statues at church come up, each explored with real-life examples and a dash of humor. Alex - Was Judas betrayal required for the fulfillment of the prophecies? (00:49) Elizabeth - I sometimes go to a Spanish mass, and don't understand anything. I don't even know if it's a valid mass for me. Is it still valid? (06:37) Eva - Some churches give out 'The Word Among Us” for Mass readings or the USCCB Website and she could follow it in English. (15:13) Elena (email) – Is it okay to ask for an anointment of the sick just in case something happened on my flight? (18:49) Adam (email) - Can we eat meat today on the Feast of the Assumption of Mary? (23:34) Juan - What does he think about Churches that, instead of having the crucifix in the center behind the altar, they have an image or statue of Mary? Why not Jesus on the side? (27:39) Christina - Do Christians forgive but not forget? (33:15) Mary - Could you explain how are we supposed to talk to our parents who are taking the Eucharist even though they are married outside the Church? (44:29) Kathy - We have to forgive but never forget the lessons that caused the problem. (47:01)

Patrick fields questions from listeners about current headlines, like Costco’s stance against selling abortion pills, and responds with clarity to concerns about proper attire and behavior in church. He listens deeply, offering real guidance on misconceptions about the rapture, Communion, and programs like Alpha, while gently supporting those coping with loss or family difficulties. Nothing escapes his thoughtful analysis, whether it’s the meaning of suffering, handling awkward encounters at Mass, or matters of faith and conscience in everyday life. Costco will not sell abortion pills (00:52) Raya (9-years-old) - Does God take people up to Heaven in the rapture? (02:58) Carmen - You talked about the guy wearing hats in mass. What about how people are dressing during the summer such as women who wear shorts and crop tops? (11:28) Don - This Church I know puts on the Alpha program. The pastor brought this to my church. Is this ok? (20:05) Mario - In reference to Judas, he was very steeped into his religion, and he was waiting for the warrior king. When Jesus comes along and see Jesus with peace and harmony he was trying to bring out that power out of Jesus. (26:01) Craig (email) - I am looking for your advice on attending a "wedding" reception for a family friend who I believe was baptized Catholic and went to Catholic elementary school, but however, choose not to be confirmed and also wasn't brought up in a household that practiced the faith. (34:43) Kate - I miscarried last week ago, and my dad told my kids that the next baby that comes along will have the first baby's soul. What do you think about his and where is he getting it from? (38:47) Pat - How do I stop someone who wants to receive communion, but is not Catholic, and she's doing it out of anger. (46:19)

Romans 5:9-10 — Paul states that the greatest proof of the love of God is His plan of salvation. The one assurance beyond that is the direct witness of the Holy Spirit Himself. The Holy Spirit bears witness that Christians are indeed children of God. Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones notes in this sermon on Romans 5:9-10 that after Paul discusses being justified by God, he uses the phrase “how much more then.” Christ has already died, which meant that His people no longer have to face God's wrath. Also much more, Christ gave the gift of the Holy Spirit as well. Dr. Lloyd- Jones then discusses justification and how the cross procures this justification on the Christian's behalf. It is not human works, faith, or self- sanctification that justifies; it is purely the work of Christ on the cross. This act guarantees final salvation, when Christ comes to receive His church and His people are with Him in glory for eternity.

Abiding in God's Love by Living a Life of Surrender (Formerly Titled: Real Love Takes Sacrifice) We know the Bible says “God is love” (1 John 4:8) and that He loved us first. But if we're honest, many of us spend more time wondering, “Does God really love me?” than asking the deeper, more revealing question: “Do I truly love Him?” That's the heart of today's message. God's love for you is unshakable, unchanging, and eternal. The real question is whether your love for Him is genuine—and if it's showing up in your life the way true love always does: through sacrifice. When You Don't Feel God's Love Maybe you've been a Christian for years but can't remember the last time you felt God's love. You've read the verses. You've prayed the prayers. But it's like you're in a spiritual drought. The truth? Feelings aren't the measure of His love. But there's often a missing link when we feel disconnected from God—and it's not that He's holding back. It's that our love for Him hasn't moved from words to action. Abiding in God's Love Requires Sacrifice Jesus said plainly, “If you love Me, keep My commands” (John 14:15). Love isn't just warm feelings or goosebumps in worship—it's obedience. And obedience requires sacrifice. That sacrifice may look like: Giving up your comfort Laying down your need for control Surrendering your demand to understand everything before trusting Releasing opinions that don't align with His Word It's the same principle in marriage—love grows deeper when it's willing to lay self aside for the other's good. Our relationship with Jesus is no different. The Pearl of Great Price and God's Love In Matthew 13:45–46, Jesus tells of a merchant who sold all he had to buy one pearl of great value. That's what loving God looks like—letting go of everything else so you can fully hold onto Him. You don't get the pearl without selling all. You don't experience the fullness of God's love without the surrender that real love demands. Beyond the Honeymoon: Abiding in God's Love Daily Some of us have had that powerful, early experience with God—a “honeymoon” season where His presence felt constant and overwhelming. But just like in marriage, the relationship matures. The emotions may not always be intense, but the love grows deeper as it's proven through daily, intentional sacrifice. Surrender: The Path to Experiencing God's Love If you want a fresh revelation of God's love, start here: Ask Him to show you where He's calling you to surrender. Choose obedience in that area—even when it costs you. Trust Him with the outcome. When you give Him your heart in this way, you'll discover what you can't manufacture through feelings alone: the deep, abiding joy of walking in step with His love.

In our reading of Proverbs 14, Fr. Mike reinforces that freedom is not the same thing as license, true freedom is the power to do what we ought. Fr. Mike also reflects on Jeremiah's repudiation of Israel's cult worship and how its distorted sexuality had serious consequences. Today's readings are Jeremiah 3, Ezekiel 29-30, and Proverbs 14:13-16.

“Children are the supreme gift of marriage,” says Vatican II. Marriage is directed by its very nature toward the procreation of children. Beyond this, parents are the primary educators of their children, responsible for their holistic formation. Sadly, many couples suffer from infertility. Even in their struggle, they can provide a powerful witness of love, sacrifice, and fidelity. In all this and more, we see the family as the Domestic Church. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1652-1658. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Friends, the title of my ministry, Word on Fire, came from our Gospel for today. Jesus says to his disciples, “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!” This is not the lighting of a cozy campfire. This is closer to, if you want, Sodom and Gomorrah—to fire and brimstone. It is a dangerous and divisive fire. Christ is the light of the world, the divine luminosity—but to the degree that we are still in darkness, we will experience that light as something difficult, off-putting, even torturous.

Based on his book, Renaissance, Os Guinness calls the current generation the “crunch generation” because the many challenges facing today’s world are converging quickly and need resolution. He asks Christians to pay “focused attention” to listening to non-believers around them in order to connect. Os advises believers to think deeply for themselves when it comes to loving God with their minds. When witnessing, they must ask questions to those questioning Christianity, rather than making statements, allowing the non-believer to think and come to their own discovery of salvation in Jesus.

Sharing the gospel with Catholics is an act of love because God loves them deeply. In this episode, Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar delve into the implications of Catholic teachings on the role of the Pope and its significance for the Gospel. The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church, but Scripture makes it clear: Christ alone is the head of the Church, which consists of true believers. While the Catholic Church has played a significant role in preserving God's word and has done much good worth recognizing, there are serious concerns regarding salvation.The Catholic Church has always taught faith, but not salvation by grace alone. The idea that grace follows all you can do stands in direct tension with the biblical message of imputed righteousness. Christ's righteousness is credited to believers, not earned through merit. The guys make it clear they are not claiming there are no saved Catholics, but that salvation would be despite official Church teaching, not because of it. Oscar challenges the belief that Peter was the first pope, arguing that the early church resembled a presbytery, where multiple bishops served collectively. Historical evidence shows that the title and authority of the pope developed over time. Even papal infallibility was not formally declared until the 1800s and remains a topic of controversy among Catholics.A central concern is the tendency to elevate tradition above scripture. The guys urge believers to let the Bible speak clearly. William Tindale gave his life to make scripture accessible, and it remains the most effective tool in gospel conversations. Matthew 16 refers to the truth that Jesus is the Christ as the rock, not Peter himself. Peter was important, but not preeminent. He referred to all believers as a royal priesthood. Reassigning that identity to a single man misrepresents the biblical narrative.The guys also discuss doctrines that have been added over time, such as purgatory, the veneration of saints, and praying to the dead. These practices shift attention away from Christ. There is one mediator between God and man, and that is Jesus. Ray shares that many Catholics know Jesus died for their sins but cannot explain what that means for their salvation. He has found that they are often open and willing to engage in a deep way. Rather than argue, he focuses on walking them through the gospel and lets God work. Scripture remains the authority. The church is built on Christ, not Peter. Grace is God's unmerited favor to the undeserving. Compassion must not lead to compromise. The gospel is simple, powerful, and straightforward. Christ alone is the head of the Church.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Parenting is holy work—but also hard, messy, exhausting, and humbling. In this heartfelt devotional and prayer, Peyton Garland draws an unexpected connection between plant care and child-rearing, sharing how becoming a “plant lady” during pregnancy gave her new eyes to see how growth, nurture, and resilience apply to raising kids. Whether you’re parenting toddlers, teens, or navigating young adulthood, Peyton encourages you to plant flowers in the trenches. That means practicing vulnerability, modeling God’s grace, and creating an atmosphere of love, humility, and honesty within your home. Even when the days feel muddy or the nights are sleepless, God is with you in the thick of it. As Isaiah promises, the Lord will guide and strengthen you, turning your weary places into flourishing gardens. Today's Bible Verse: “The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” – Isaiah 58:11 (NIV)

In this interview, we discuss how he ended up joining a gang even though he grew up in a home with both his mother and father and went to church, his addiction to drugs, entering the Army out of fear for his life, why he was dishonorably discharged from the military, how a chance encounter with a highway patrolman led to him challenging God, when he received Christ as Lord, how he decided to pursue a career in teaching, the impact he is now having on at-risk teens because of his past, and much more.

The Apostle John's favorite word was love. But not the sentimental, sloppy version of what we call “love.” John tells us about God's love modeled by God's people. In this study, learn about our need to abide in the doctrine of Christ so we can avoid false teachers. John warns us: If we entertain these deceivers, we are a partner in their deeds.

If God is love, why does the Old Testament sometimes portray Him as harsh? Many people struggle to reconcile that image with the loving Jesus of the New Testament. But if you question God's character, it will be difficult to approach Him. Join Andrew as he reveals God's true nature, so you can relate to Him without a shadow of doubt—He is love.

Why did Jesus speak of destroying the temple? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper opens Acts 6:8–15 to show how Christ replaced the old system as our true sacrifice, priest, and glory.

This episode mentions suicide and depression and may not be suitable for all listeners. This week, we’ll hear from actress and producer Patricia Heaton. Beloved for her roles in Everybody Loves Raymond and The Middle, Patricia has faced seasons of grief and depression while navigating the ups and downs of a demanding industry, and shares how she has used comedy as a way to connect on a deeper level, helping others find light and meaning even in life’s hardest moments. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from journalist Anita Vogel. With a career spanning more than three decades, Anita has reported from small-town newsrooms to national television screens. She’s covered some of the nation’s biggest stories, but behind the headlines, it’s her interviews with everyday heroes and her experiences on the frontlines of breaking news that have shaped her deep commitment to telling meaningful, lasting stories.

You’re still dealing with grief and pain and there’s suffering, but because we knew she was with Jesus, there’s certain things you don’t have to wonder about.” - Patricia Heaton “There were times when I could feel depression coming on, as if someone was taking a shade and pulling it down. I could feel it coming on, and I remember I would just be saying prayers over and over. So, it definitely gives you a solid landing place while you’re struggling.” - Patricia Heaton “The entertainment industry is really a difficult industry—there are no guarantees and there is zero security. It’s actually a really good place to be, because in life, there’s zero security except our relationship with Jesus. That’s the only guarantee.” - Patricia Heaton “The balance to try and strike is to be in the moment as much as possible—present to what God wants you to do and present to the people that you’re in the room with so that no event is ever wasted.” - Patricia Heaton “You do commit, but you have to know that you’re not in charge of the result. So in that sense, I’ve always had to let God be God because things fall apart so easily. We just have to believe that He has a plan, and that He will open doors and shut doors, and that’s what’s best for us.” - Patricia Heaton “Your family and your relationships and each other are the most important things, and God has you in His hands through all of it.” - Patricia Heaton “God is much bigger than our problems. He’s much bigger than our sins. He’s bigger than our failings, so we just need to learn to rest and relax in Him and trust and have faith in His love for us.” - Patricia Heaton “God is in control, and as a human being, you can only do as much as you can to survive, to protect your loved ones, to protect others. At the end of the day, God is present and He is watching all of this, and we just have to have faith that things are unfolding according to His plan.” - Anita Vogel “I always say a prayer and I always ask God to help comfort these people to get them through this horrific time. I don’t know how God does it. He has His own special way. We just have to have faith that He does something special for these people, to bring some kind of peace and comfort back into their lives.” - Anita Vogel “That’s one of the highlights of my career—that I do get to meet people from all walks of life and people who helped shape my life.” - Anita Vogel _______________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Send us a textII Corinthians 10Paul defends his authority as an apostle, addressing those who criticize him for being bold in his letters but unimpressive in person. He explains that his confidence comes from God, not human strength. Though he walks in the flesh, he does not wage war as the world does; instead, he uses spiritual weapons to demolish strongholds and take every thought captive to Christ. Paul warns against judging by appearance, reminding the Corinthians that true authority comes from God. He refuses to compare himself with those who boast in themselves, instead boasting only in what the Lord has done through him. Paul emphasizes that his ministry is for building up the church, not tearing it down. He concludes by stating that true approval comes not from self-promotion but from the Lord's commendation.The Lord challenges us to rely on His power rather than human strength. Paul reminds us that we do not fight spiritual battles with worldly tactics but with divine weapons that destroy strongholds. This calls us to examine our thoughts and take them captive to Christ, resisting fear, doubt, and pride. In a world that values outward appearance and self-promotion, Paul teaches us to seek God's approval rather than human recognition. Instead of comparing ourselves to others, we should focus on the mission God has given us. True strength comes from humility and obedience to Christ. As we trust in Him, we can stand firm against spiritual opposition, build others up in faith, and glorify God in all we do.All-powerful Lord, thank You for being our strength in every battle. Help us rely on Your divine power instead of our own abilities. Teach us to take every thought captive to Christ, filling our minds with hope and truth. Guard our hearts from seeking approval from others and remind us that true confidence comes from You. Give us the humility to serve and uplift others rather than tearing them down. Help us stand firm in faith, using the spiritual weapons You have given us to overcome challenges. May our lives reflect Your power and bring glory to Your name.Thought Questions: -       What does Paul mean when he says you have weapons “divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses”? How do you use them daily?  -       How do you take “every thought captive to the obedience of Christ”? What helps you get your mind right so that you follow Him faithfully? -       Do you sometimes seek human approval before God's approval? How do you get your focus on His commendation being all that matters?

Matthew presents Jesus Christ as the Jesus as the Mashiach Nagid, the Messiah the King, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. It was written by a Jew, to Jews, about a Jew. This book of the Bible uses more Old Testament quotes than any other. The Gospel of Matthew emphasizes the saying of Jesus, including ten parables not found in any other Gospel. After first establishing the royal genealogy, he then goes on to focus on the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. Matthew uses the term "fulfilled" 82 times! Many scholars now believe that the Gospel was written before Paul's first imprisonment of 57-60 A.D., and that virtually all of the New Testament books were written before Jerusalem's destruction. This study contains 24 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 11-01-2006 Recorded: 2006

Paul spends two entire chapters in 2 Corinthians asking for money, which seems to contradict his earlier insistence that he never charged the Corinthians for his ministry. In this podcast episode, Seth and David explore Paul's teaching on generosity and show how he reframes giving as participating in God's miracle of provision and proving the genuineness of our faith through Christ-like sacrifice.

Patrick tackles raw questions about faith and practice, jumping from the nuances of sainthood and martyrdom to the quirks of liturgical ritual. Listeners share struggles with family rifts, spiritual confusion, and the challenges of raising children with special needs in a parish pew, all while Patrick gives perspective, sometimes practical, sometimes straight from tradition. Thoughts shift rapidly, from theological details to heartfelt encouragement, as Patrick guides each caller through the unpredictable threads of Catholic life. Marty - Does someone have to be Catholic to be a saint if they are martyred? (00:36) Jeff - Does the priest have to be holding the bread in his hand during the Consecration? (09:24) Julie (email) – Was Jesus black? (17:36) Chinto - What is the Catholic Church's view on the Book of Enoch? Why wasn't it put into the Scriptures. (20:54) John - How do I forgive family members when they treat me poorly? (34:36) Jen - How can I talk with a friend who grew up Catholic and is not practicing her faith and tell her not to receive Communion? (46:45)

Mary welcomes new guest Dr. Corey Miller of Ratio Christi ministry. Corey Miller grew up in Utah as a 7th generation Mormon. He came to Christ and later became a pastor, philosophy professor, campus minister, and now serves as the president and CEO of Ratio Christi. He has authored or edited 5 books and holds 3 masters degrees and a PhD from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. His focus is on the intersection of faith, reason, and culture. His new book, “The Progressive Miseducation of America: Confronting the Cultural Revolution from the Classroom to Your Community” is set to release October 14. Today we discuss higher education's devolution into an echo chamber for leftist ideologies. Far from an actual education, today's ultra-liberal universities are really the gatekeepers for revolutionary ideas. We saw for ourselves how the curtain was pulled back to reveal rabid antisemitism from coast to coast. Is there any way to reclaim our once great educational institutions? A fascinating hour with Dr. Miller.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A
