Let's Chat!Journey to the heart of destiny in this breathtaking series finale of The Relic Hunter where ancient mysteries and personal transformations collide. As our protagonist stands before the legendary Vault of Ascension, everything he believed about his past unravels into profound revelation.The vault doesn't merely contain treasure—it holds truth. With nine powerful relics vibrating at his side and guided by the enigmatic Shadow King and Buried King, the Hunter discovers the devastating reality behind his greatest losses. His beloved Kale didn't perish in flames but transcended physical form to become his spiritual guide. His father and brother didn't abandon him but made unimaginable sacrifices to prepare him for greatness."Love isn't just staying," Kale reveals in their spiritual reunion, "it's leaving when the world needs you to become more than human." This profound redefinition of sacrifice transforms the Hunter's understanding of his journey. Every relic collected wasn't merely an object of power but a message leading him toward his true identity as the Invisible King.The narrative masterfully weaves themes of grief, forgiveness, and purpose into a powerful meditation on leadership. True sovereignty doesn't emerge from isolation but from connection—from recognizing how those around us shape our becoming. As Anthony reflects in his closing thoughts, "When he started to rely and lean on people, he found more of himself."This finale challenges us to consider: Are we honoring the sacrifices others make for our success? Are we creating something worthy of their investment in us? The Hunter's transformation reminds us that greatness never happens alone—it's born from the invisible web of support surrounding us.Listen now and discover how the final threshold isn't crossed with power but with surrender, and how the greatest kingdoms are those we build together. Your reality awaits your creation."True mastery is found in the details. The way you handle the little things defines the way you handle everything."

Fr. Mike points out how Jehu followed God half-way, but God wants us to follow Him with our whole hearts. He also explains the prophecy of Amos, who is trying to call people back to the Lord before it is too late. The readings for today are 2 Kings 10, Amos 1-3, and Psalm 110.

We continue our examination of the sacrament of Confirmation, specifically both who should receive Confirmation and who can act as the minister of the sacrament. Fr. Mike reiterates that every baptized person, not yet confirmed, should receive the sacrament of Confirmation. Without Confirmation, Christian initiation remains incomplete. He also emphasizes the importance of choosing someone who can help you grow in the Faith as a sponsor. Fr. Mike concludes with an examination of who the minister of Confirmation is, and how its minister ties us to the apostolic succession. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1306-1314. 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.

Let's Chat!The threshold between who we are and who we're meant to become is never just a door—it's a reckoning. In this penultimate episode of Gentleman's Journey, we witness the Relic Hunter face his most devastating loss as Kael is taken by a masked figure alongside someone impossible: his brother, who supposedly drowned years ago.Wandering through the winding alleys of a Moroccan medina, the Hunter's grief transforms into clarity as ancient relics begin to awaken in his presence. The key that opens nothing glows with previously invisible markings. The cracked compass finds its true north. The bell of echoed doubt rings with recognition. Together, they call him toward the Vault of Ascension—not merely a place hidden within a mountain, but a mirror that will force him to confront everything hidden within himself."The vault opens for one reason," we learn, "to a man willing to lose everything." As the Hunter stands at the threshold of transformation, we discover alongside him that lineage isn't limitation but invitation, that doubt isn't a stop sign but a gatekeeper, and that the true moment of becoming happens not when the door finally opens, but in that sacred space just before—when we choose to leave behind every version of ourselves that kept us small.What truths have you been running from? What painful revelations might actually be the forge that shapes you into who you're meant to be? Join us for this soul-stirring journey as we prepare for the final episode, and remember: you create your reality."True mastery is found in the details. The way you handle the little things defines the way you handle everything."

Fr. Mike shortly touches on David's honest prayer in Psalm 109 before diving into the unending love God has for his people. As we continue to journey through our readings, we will begin to see the words of the prophets come to fruition as those who return to the Lord in faith will experience his undying love and forgiveness, despite their unfaithfulness. Today's readings are 2 Kings 9, Hosea 11-14, and Psalm 109. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

We continue our examination of the sacrament of Confirmation, specifically the celebration and effects of the sacrament of Confirmation. Fr. Mike explores the different elements of the rite of Confirmation and the ways in which Confirmation increases and deepens our baptismal graces. He emphasizes, in particular, the special strength of the Holy Spirit that we receive to spread and defend the Faith by our words and actions. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1297-1305.

Fr. Mike explains why all of us are called to listen to the prophets of the Old Testament, and why their role is so important in salvation history. Each of us is building some kind of life and picture of eternity: the question we must ask ourselves is are we building it with God or against him? Today's readings are 2 Kings 8, Hosea 8-10, and Psalm 108. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

It is a hidden secret that one way to manifest your wishes is to access unseen support. This includes guides, higher denisty beings, angels, ancestors and so much more. Your guides have been waiting for this moment when you would finally understand how to work with them consciously. They've been sending you signs and guidance your entire life, but now you have the awareness and tools to receive their support at a completely new level. This activation has opened a doorway that remains permanently available to you. If consciousness exists beyond the brain, then other forms of consciousness, more advanced forms, can exist in dimensions we're only beginning to understand. The HeartMath Institute has proven that your heart generates an electromagnetic field 60 times greater in amplitude than your brain. This field extends several feet beyond your body, and it's constantly interacting with other electromagnetic fields around you. As you understand this more deeply, you begin to realize that you're not separate from anything - you're part of an interconnected web of energy and consciousness. The signs that your guides and higher beings are actively working with you appear in the physical world in fascinating ways. Synchronicities begin multiplying - you think of someone and they call, you need specific information and it appears in unexpected places, numbers start repeating in meaningful patterns. Animals often become messengers, acting unusually friendly or appearing at significant moments. Birds might follow you, butterflies could appear out of season, or you might notice the same type of animal showing up repeatedly. Your guides also communicate through your physical senses. You might catch the scent of flowers when none are present, or smell your grandmother's perfume when thinking about a decision she would have guided you through. Some people hear their name called softly when no one is around, or notice background music seems to carry messages in the lyrics. Others experience sudden knowing - information that downloads into your consciousness complete and fully formed, like remembering something you never learned but somehow always knew. Through this activation you will learn how to access this unseen support and manifest your dreams in ways that you once thought were impossible.

The Trump Administration narrows the enrollment window for purchasing Affordable Care Act coverage and limits eligibility. Medicare will likely be insolvent three years earlier than anticipated, according to the program's trustees' report. And, Ascension announces it will purchase ambulatory surgical services organization AmSurg. Those stories on today's episode of the Gist Healthcare podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A shout out to the Milwaukee Airport...the Ascension of Jesus...and the "recombobulation" of the days to come: Jesus said, "The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times.” Yes, a day will come when this same Jesus who ascended into heaven will return, but the timing is “not for you to know.” Rather, "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses.” That is, stay with the mission. Keep your hand at the work. By the will of God, the love of Christ, and the power of the Spirit, keep telling the story of the kingdom. Keep sharing the grace of God. Keep inviting others to the table. But as to how and when this all wraps up, that's God's business. Our business remains the same as it has always been: Not figuring out when we get to leave earth for heaven, but letting the world know that heaven has come to earth.

Fr. Mike emphasizes the importance of knowing God and knowing his love for us as we read about the devastation of war and the lack of faith displayed by Israel. Without a deeper knowledge of God, not only can we struggle for hope in God's plan, but we can also fall into the temptation of losing faith in him altogether. Today's readings are 2 Kings 6-7, Hosea 4-7, and Psalm 103. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

We begin our examination of the sacrament of Confirmation. Fr. Mike emphasizes that the reception of Confirmation is necessary for the completion and strengthening of baptismal grace. He also highlights the vital importance of the reception of Confirmation because it gives us the power to be a witness to God's grace on earth, just as the Apostles received that same power at Pentecost. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1285-1289. 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.

Fr. Mike takes a break from 2 Chronicles to enter into the book of Hosea. We learn that Hosea was a prophet called to not only witness to God's words, but to his actions as well. Fr. Mike also touches on hope in times of intense healing, and how essential this virtue is when striving to live a life for Christ. Today's readings are 2 Kings 5, Hosea 1-3, and Psalm 101.

In this summary of the Church's teachings on Baptism, the Catechism relays the heart of the sacrament. If you needed to quickly explain Baptism to someone on the street—Fr. Mike says—this would be your guide. Fr. Mike hones in on the fact that Baptism is “a grace and a gift of God that does not presuppose any human merit.” Today's readings are paragraphs 1275-1284.

Consider the amazing fact that Jesus knows the entirety of our lives with profound clarity. Every joy, every struggle, every moment of confusion—He is there. Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Ann Immaculée, and Sr. Marie Veritas encourage us to allow Jesus to reveal our stories to us. Snippet of the Show Jesus wants to come into every hard place of our story. Let him go into that place and heal the narrative there. This season of Let Love is produced in collaboration with Ascension.

Fr. Mike talks about how we see both an abundance of faith, and a great lack of faith in our readings today. While the widow Elisha visits shows us a beautiful example of walking in faith, king Ahaz fails to repent as he falls deeper into sin. Today's readings are 2 Kings 4, 2 Chronicles 28, and Psalm 127. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

The Catechism shows us how Baptism unites the Church as a “People of God of the New Covenant” and goes so far as to say that “Baptism constitutes the foundation of communion among all Christians.” We all belong to Jesus, together. Fr. Mike highlights the fact that with the gift of unity in Baptism comes real responsibility. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1267-1274. 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. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Fr. Mike zeroes in on how Uzziah's prideful desire to worship God in his own way led to his tragic death. We are reminded once again how easily the kings over Judea strayed away from God after achieving greatness. Today's readings are 2 Kings 3, 2 Chronicles 26-27, and Psalm 72. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Baptism has profound effects upon the baptized: “purification from sins and new birth in the Holy Spirit.” The Catechism shows us that the graces of Baptism are so deep that—for the newly baptized—“nothing remains that would impede their entry into the Kingdom of God.” Fr. Mike relates to us the hard teaching that we are born mere beloved creatures of God—but through Baptism, we become adopted sons and daughters of God. Today's readings are paragraphs 1262-1266.
