It truly is my privilege to have had Rex on the podcast today.  He is an incredible man and my mentor.  Earlier this year, when I was sharing with my friend about some of the spiritual experiences I had been having this year, he recommended that I pick up and read Golden Sapphire by Rex Rian.  I read it and was instantly hooked.  The book spoke to my soul in a way I couldn't even explain.  It was like the exact things I was experiencing was written down in the book.  After finishing it, I found Rex's number on his website and contacted him.  And now he is my mentor that I visit with every month.  There are so many interesting and profound messages in his books that can truly elevate humanity.  In addition to the series, he also has an online school called the Ascension Academy.  It's a fantastic way to dive deep into your soul and discover who you are.   Loved diving into deep convos with Rex today.  Hope you enjoy the podcast and seriously check out the websites below.https://www.3peaksinstitute.com/https://www.theascensionacademy.org/affiliate_users/sign_upFind Golden Copper, Golden Emerald, and Golden Sapphire on Amazon!https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Sapphire-Treasures-Beyond-Copper/dp/B08DBYPWV3/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1634960549&sr=8-1

On today's IGN The Fix: Games, Battlefield 2042 had an interesting open beta to say the least. While fans were excited to finally get their hands on the newest iteration of the popular series, the beta also sparked debate about many of EA's design choices, particularly the introduction of Specialists. In a lengthy new blog post meant to share takeaways from the recent open beta, EA pushed back against the feedback that Specialists — characters with unique traits that upend the traditional class system — hampered teamwork. New World is currently being affected by a deflationary currency crisis so bad that on some servers, players have started bartering raw materials with one another instead of spending their increasingly valuable coins. As per an article by Player Auctions, Amazon's latest MMORPG is currently facing a troubling time with deflation. Unlike other MMOs, which often have to combat inflation caused by players generating more money through grinding out quests and amassing small fortunes, New World is facing quite the opposite problem. As part of its 25th-anniversary celebrations for Tomb Raider, Square Enix has published three new videos featuring an array of details from the cancelled survival horror game Tomb Raider: Ascension. As shown on YouTube, the three videos focus on different elements of what could have been for Ascension, had the game not been replaced by the franchise's preferred 2013 reboot. In the first clip, the publisher shows off a range of concept art for the game where fans can see its island setting as well as a number of characters designs. Narz has all that in your Daily Fix!

Josh answers questions about experiencing confusion and doubts discerning one's vocation, and why taking the morning after pill is a serious sin, but a sin that God forgives through the sacrament of Reconciliation because there is no sin that God doesn't forgive in confession.

Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you."

Have you ever been accused by friends, family, or acquaintances of being judgmental or intolerant because you believe that some things are right and some things are wrong? Try this response tactic to flip the conversation around and start challenging the relativism that pervades today's culture. Snippet from the Show "When someone accuses you of intolerance, don't be afraid to push back and start asking questions. If you let the other person do the explaining, it will become clearer and clearer that relativism is completely illogical, and he or she might start wondering if there's a better lens through which to view reality."

Fr. Mike summarizes the final moments of the book of Nehemiah, when Nehemiah returns to find the people of Israel being unfaithful to God's commandments and marrying foreign wives. Fr. Mike connects this to our lives, as we too often confuse God's unending love for us to mean that he always wants what we want.Today's readings are Nehemiah 13, Malachi 1-4, and Proverbs 21: 25-28.
