It was an honor to have you as the very first representative from a Texas State Park to appear on Trailblazing Texas.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”What if your body was designed to tell a cosmic love story? In this profound exploration of human sexuality, Jack unveils how our creation as male and female reflects something far deeper than biology—it mirrors the very nature of God's Trinitarian love.The episode introduces the Claymore Battle Plan, a revolutionary framework helping men navigate today's confusing cultural landscape. Rather than offering superficial solutions, this approach digs into three fundamental realities: the human heart's deepest longings, the irreplaceable role of marriage and family, and our essential connection to Christ and the Church. These aren't arbitrary religious concepts but the very foundation of human flourishing.Drawing from Pope John Paul II's theology of the body, Jack explains how our physical design reveals profound spiritual truth. "The body, and it alone, is capable of making visible what is invisible—the spiritual and divine," he quotes. This understanding transforms everything about how we see ourselves and our relationships. When husband and wife unite and bring forth children, they participate in a "tiny created reflection of Trinitarian love"—where two become one and create a third.The breakdown we see in society—from inner-city violence to the emptiness of modern political leadership—stems directly from losing this foundational understanding. Without recognizing the sacramental nature of our bodies and relationships, we're left with a culture that uses people and loves things instead of the reverse.Join our growing community of men seeking something deeper than what modern culture offers. Download the Claymore Battle Plan at jp2renew.org, connect with others for discussion, and discover how becoming a person of love transforms not just your life, but rebuilds society from its foundations.Discussion Questions with Scripture and Catechism References·      How does the creation of humanity as male and female reflect the Trinitarian love of God, and what does this reveal about the purpose of our bodies?Reference: Genesis 1:26–28; Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) 355–357: “God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them… Being in the image of God, the human individual possesses the dignity of a person, who is not just something, but someone.”·      Jesus points to “the beginning” to explain God's design for marriage (Matthew 19:3–8). How can returning to God's original plan for humanity help us navigate moral and sexual confusion in the modern world?Reference: Matthew 19:3–8; CCC 1603–1605: “The intimate community of life and love which constitutes the married state has been established by the Creator and endowed by him with its own proper laws… God himself is the author of marriage.”·      John Paul II describes the body as having a “spousal meaning” that expresses love and self-gift. How can understanding this truth shape the way we view sexuality and relationships?Reference: Genesis 2:24–25; CCC 2331–2336: “Sexuality, by means of which man and woman give themselves to one another through the acts which are proper and exclusive to spouses… is ordered to the conjugal love of man and woman.”·      The chapter describes marriage as a “primordial sacrament” that reflects God's Trinitarian life and love, ‘from the beginning'. How can married couples live out this sacramental calling in their daily lives, and what impact might this have on their families and communities?Reference: Ephesians 5:25–32; CCC 1613–1617: “By its very nature [marriage] is ordered to the good of the couple, as well Support the show

Romans 10:14-21

Today… we're tackling a commandment you might be tempted to skip over in your examination of conscience.The fifth commandment: “You shall not kill.”Now if you're anything like me, your first thought might be:“Well, I haven't murdered anyone. I'm good here. Let's move on.”But, Jesus takes this commandment, like He does all the others, and flips the script. He says in Matthew 5:22:“Everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment.”So it's not just about murder. It's about the heart behind it. It's about the ways we choose death over life in our words, actions, even in the quiet corners of our souls.Life is SacredThe Catechism of the Catholic Church (2258) reminds us that human life is sacred—from the moment of conception to natural death—because we are made in the image of God. You, me, every person we meet carries a divine fingerprint. So to harm another human being is dishonoring the Creator.No one has the right to destroy an innocent human life. And that truth is really the foundation for everything else the Church teaches about life—from abortion, to euthanasia, to suicide, and to war.Life is not ours to take. It's ours to protect.What About Self-Defense?Now someone might ask, “But what if someone is trying to kill me? Or hurt my family?”The Church teaches that self-defense can be permitted. If you're in a situation where force is needed to protect yourself or others, it can be morally justified as long as your intention is to preserve life, and not to kill. But to go beyond what is  necessary crosses a line. (CCC 2263–2265)It's all about intention. Protecting life is the goal—even in conflict.Abortion & EuthanasiaThe fifth commandment also applies to abortion which the US Bishops have delcared as the preeminent issue. The Church teaches clearly (CCC 2270) that human life must be protected from the moment of conception. The unborn child in the womb is not just “potential life”- it is human life, and life, even in its most vulnerable form, has value.The same goes for euthanasia. Ending the life of someone who is sick or disabled—even with good intentions—is not the answer. Every person, no matter their condition, deserves respect and care. That doesn't mean we have to prolong suffering at all costs—sometimes it's okay to stop treatments that are extreme or burdensome. But there's a difference between letting someone die naturally and intentionally causing death. (CCC 2276–2278)Suicide, Mental Health, and MercyThis commandment also brings to mind a very difficult and sensitive topic: suicide. The Church teaches that suicide goes against the love of self, love of neighbor, and love of God. But it also teaches that mental illness, trauma, and deep suffering—can lessen a person's responsibility. (CCC 2280–2283)So, if you've lost someone to suicide know, the Church does not condemn them. In fact, we pray for them. We entrust them to God's mercy—because only He knows the depths of their pain. And if you're struggling yourself, please—reach out. You are loved. You are not alone. Call 988 to talk to someone who can help, or visit the 988 Lifeline. Words That Hurt, Scandal That KillsThe Fifth Commandment also covers what we might call “everyday violence”—not just physical, but emotional and spiritual. Have you ever said something that crushed someone's spirit? Have you ever gossiped, slandered, or lashed out in anger? Anger and hatred can kill, even if no blood is spilled.Then there's scandal—leading someone else into sin. That, too, is a form of spiritual death. If our actions cause someone else to fall away from God, that is serious. (CCC 2284)Caring for Our Own LivesThis commandment includes how we treat our own bodies. Life is a gift entrusted to us, and we're stewards of it. That means taking care of our health, avoiding addiction, being mindful of food, alcohol, tobacco, and drugs. (CCC 2288–2291)God wants us alive—not just physically, but fully alive in Him.Peace Over AngerSo how do we start to live this out?It begins with peace. Jesus tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Not just tolerate them. Love them.Easier said than done, right?But that's the challenge of the 5th Commandment. It's not just a “don't do bad things” rule. It's a call to actively protect and promote life in all its forms.So ask yourself:Do my words build others up—or tear them down?Do I hold onto grudges or offer forgiveness?Am I honoring the gift of my own life—body, mind, and soul?Do I value all life, even the ones society says are disposable?This commandment is so much more than “Don't kill.” It's a lifestyle. A posture. A way of loving that honors the sacredness in every single person—including yourself.So this week, look for ways to choose life:Apologize. Forgive. Speak kindly. Defend the vulnerable. Take care of your body. Be patient. Let go of bitterness.And above all—remember that your life, and the lives around you, are not random or disposable.They are precious, on purpose, and worth protecting.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"music by audionautix.com"Adventures by A Himitsu https://soundcloud.com/a-himitsuMusic released by Argofox https://youtu.be/8BXNwnxaVQEMusic provided by Audio Library https://youtu.be/MkNeIUgNPQ8

As we continue our Promises Made, Promises Kept series, Pastor Zach reflects on the moment God asks Abraham to sacrifice his only son, Isaac. This difficult command poses a deep question: “Will you give me the one thing you don't want to give me?” Just as Abraham was challenged to surrender what mattered most, we're invited to consider what we might be holding back from God. Through Abraham's transformation, we see that true relationship with God involves full trust—and that kind of surrender can change everything.
