Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 07:44 – When we receive the Eucharist, are we receiving the whole of Jesus or just part of his flesh? 19:59 – What is the proper Catholic view of speaking in tongues, St. Paul and Augustine seem to differ in their teaching? 29:25 – Why in Catholic devotional prayer is Mary petitioned as the one that will crush the head of the serpent? 38:49 – How does the Church determine the time to canonize 47:10 – How does the Thomistic position of the treaties of Faith relate to the Thomistic view of the Magisterium?
Mission work is often misunderstood as simply traveling to another country, sharing the gospel, and returning home. But today’s devotional reminds us that true mission work goes much deeper. It involves learning about people groups, understanding culture, building meaningful relationships, and sharing Christ through everyday life in a way that honors and respects those being served. Genuine missions isn’t rushed or surface-level—it’s relational, humble, and rooted in long-term discipleship. The devotional points to Paul’s example as a model for mission work: he lived among people, studied their beliefs, and communicated the truth of Jesus in a way they could understand. That kind of ministry requires wisdom, patience, and dependence on God. And it also requires prayer—both before missionaries leave and while they are serving. Prayer strengthens those who go and those who send, especially because mission trips often come with spiritual opposition. The enemy does not want the gospel to spread, which is why prayer becomes part of the preparation and the protection. If you have loved ones going on a mission trip—or if you’re preparing for one yourself—this devotional is an encouragement that you are not alone. God goes before His people, watches over them wherever they go, and promises not to leave them. That truth brings peace for the traveler and comfort for those who remain at home. Today’s focus is a call to cover missionaries in prayer: for spiritual strength, humility, cultural understanding, protection, and a Christ-like love that shines brightly in every place they serve. Main Takeaways True mission work is relational, humble, and deeply invested in people—not just travel and preaching. Learning culture and showing respect are key parts of effective gospel ministry. Missionaries often face spiritual opposition before and during the trip, making prayer essential. God promises to be with His people wherever they go and to watch over them. Covering missionaries in prayer brings protection, strength, and encouragement for the mission. Today’s Bible Verse: Genesis 28:15 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Please help them take the steps that they need ahead of time… to learn about the culture, and show respect and love to the people when they get there.” You can read the full prayer and devotional at the links below.

For peace, and a peaceful transition in Venezuela, without innocent victims. For believers to trust not in man, but in Jesus Christ, and remember that His kingdom is above any human kingdom. That God may protect His church, the evangelists, pastors, and those who visit the sick in Venezuela, as armed groups are intimidating citizens 24 hrs a day in many parts of the country. Conversation with the Podcast Ninja I met with the Podcast Ninja again the other day to catch up on our respective hunting seasons, basketball teams, and Indiana’s best-in-the-country college football team. We took some time to discuss the blessings (and possible pitfalls) of praying for the persecuted. After our conversation which was recorded in the middle of the week, I came back and updated everyone on a couple of things that were discussed… The hunt was fun, but no meat!

Christian, John Luke, Al, and Zach reflect on how objectifying women leads to far-reaching consequences, using David's downfall as a sobering case study. They examine how lust distorts responsibility, turns people into collateral damage, and quietly erodes families and faith long before the fallout becomes public. Al uses his own experience with infidelity in a marriage to point to hope rooted in Psalm 51, which urges repentance, humility, and restoration as the only path forward after failure. In this episode: 2 Samuel 11, verses 1–27; 2 Samuel 12, verses 1–14; 2 Samuel 12, verses 15–23; Psalm 51, verses 1–19; Genesis 1, verse 28; Genesis 39, verses 7–12; Exodus 1, verses 1–8; Revelation 12, verse 11; 1 Kings 2, verses 1–4; Ezekiel 23, verses 1–35 Today's conversation is about Lesson 6 of The David Story: Shepherd, Father, King taught by Hillsdale Professor Justin Jackson. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/ More about The David Story: Encounter the beauty of the Bible. The David Story: Shepherd, Father, King explores the lives of Israel's first two kings—Saul and David—to discover the Bible's profound lessons about fatherhood, the nature of sin, and the consequences of sin on both a family and a nation. While David suffers great tragedies due to his own transgressions, he models a path to redemption through repentance. Join Professor Justin Jackson in a careful reading of First and Second Samuel to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning and beauty of this story that is not only fundamental to the Christian and Jewish faiths, but also a literary masterpiece.

In our Catechism reading today we learn how out of love, God has fully revealed himself by sending his Son, Jesus Christ who established God's covenant forever. We also learn that the Son is the Father's definitive Word, but this Word has not yet been made completely explicit. Fr. Mike explains how private revelations may not claim to add to the Faith and must not contradict the Faith. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 65-73. 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.

Welcome to episode 27 of the Joseph Smith Podcast with Dr. John G. Turner! In this episode, we take a deep dive into Joseph Smith's early practice of polygamy in Nauvoo, tracing how it began, how it expanded so rapidly, and what it reveals about power, belief, and risk.We examine the first plural marriages, the people Joseph trusted to introduce the practice, and the recurring patterns that emerge as polygamy spreads among church leadership. Along the way, we ask difficult questions about revelation, consent, secrecy, scripture, and whether Joseph believed his actions were divinely required –or something else entirely.This discussion also situates polygamy within the broader political and social pressures Joseph faced in the early 1840s, including legal threats, growing opposition, and his increasing confidence and recklessness as Nauvoo flourished. Ultimately, we explore whether Joseph's polygamy can be understood as sincere belief, institutional experimentation, abuse of authority, or some combination of all three.If you find this series valuable, consider liking, subscribing, and sharing. More episodes in this series are coming next!Please purchase the book here.To support this series please donate here.

What happens when Trump desecrates a painting of Jesus? Billionaires line up to buy it. At a Mar-a-Lago New Year's Eve party, Trump signs a painting of Christ—offering a very public glimpse at how faith, money, and power now intersect. From there, it's a week of religion doing what it does best: embarrassing itself in public. A failed doomsday prophet in Ghana finds out there are consequences when the apocalypse doesn't show up, Iran's theocratic regime faces mass protests fueled by hunger and economic collapse, and conservatives melt down after New York City's new mayor commits the ultimate sin—taking his oath of office on the "wrong" holy book. Plus, Marjorie Taylor Greene stumbles into a moment of clarity about Trump's faith, Chick-fil-A makes things awkward again, and we ask—once more—what any of this is actually doing to the country.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1304 ‘I'm In Here': When the Body Failed—but the Mind Didn't: A Story of Autism, Faith, and Telepathy What happens when the body fails—but consciousness remains fully intact? Tonight on Richard Syrett's Strange Planet, we examine a story modern science is deeply uncomfortable confronting. Katie Asher's journey begins in trauma and survival, then leads to her son Houston—severely neurologically injured, non-speaking, yet unmistakably present. When he communicates the sentence “I'm in here,” it isn't a revelation of awakening—but of recognition. Through supported spelling, Houston demonstrates advanced language, abstract reasoning, and a coherent spiritual worldview he was never taught—describing heaven, angels, and Christ—while his mother remains skeptical. Researchers documented the data. Filmmakers told part of the story. But the spiritual framework was left out. Tonight, we explore what happens when consciousness refuses to fit inside a materialist box. GUEST: Katie Asher is a writer, speaker, and advocate for non-speaking individuals whose cognitive and inner lives are routinely misunderstood. She is the co-author of The Book of Heaven, written with her son Houston, a work that challenges assumptions about intelligence, communication, and the nature of consciousness itself. Known for her intellectual honesty and initial skepticism, Katie brings a grounded, maternal, and rigorously self-critical perspective to questions of neuroscience, spirituality, and faith. Her family's story has drawn the attention of researchers and documentary filmmakers precisely because it resists easy categorization—and refuses to diminish the dignity of those who communicate differently.

The Worst Kind of DemonA 41-year-old man, previously indifferent to religion despite a vague belief in God, shares a chilling personal experience that led to his Christian faith. In July of the previous year, his family moved from Calgary to his elderly parents' rural property near Edmonton to help care for his terminally ill father, who was dying of lung cancer after decades of smoking. Shortly after arriving, his mother confided that she had seen a tall, hunched black figure with long fingers and deep black eye pits in her bedroom. Terrified, she began sleeping with the lights on and avoided the room without a dog. The man initially dismissed it as a hallucination related to her health. Weeks later, he began experiencing strange phenomena himself: sensations of bugs crawling all over his body at night (only relieved by sleeping on the couch), followed by nightmares, light poking that escalated to aggressive jabbing, grabbing, squeezing, and pulling. No one else in the family was affected. The encounters intensified. One night on the couch, an invisible large, cold, rough hand with long fingers grabbed his face and forced his head into the pillow, causing pain. When he fought back, he felt something walk along the couch and then grab his ankles; he saw his sweatpants move as if squeezed. Another time in the garage, he felt overwhelming malevolence, a sudden cold, and physical grabs on his thigh and neck. In desperation during the neck grab, he began reciting the Lord's Prayer aloud. The pressure immediately released, warmth returned, and the malevolent feeling vanished. The next day, deeply shaken and sleep-deprived, he contacted his pastor aunt and uncle. They guided him to pray out loud, surrendering his life and soul to Jesus Christ. He did so sincerely. That night, for the first time in months, he slept peacefully with no disturbances. Three weeks later, a final attack occurred: a presence grabbed his head. Though initially paralyzed with fear and unable to speak, he eventually commanded the entity to leave in Jesus' name (as his relatives had instructed). The grip released instantly, though it briefly caused sharp pain in his knee before departing permanently. He describes this as the moment he truly felt God's presence. His father passed away a week later. Afterward, his young son reported feeling watched and getting “bad feelings” at night. The man led his son in the same prayer of surrender to Jesus, and all disturbances in the house ceased completely. Since then, the man reads the Bible daily (sometimes twice), prays multiple times a day, and the family studies scripture together. His son, now ten, reminds him to pray at bedtime. Previously having never opened a Bible and feeling unworthy of redemption due to past mistakes, he now believes both demonic forces and God's protective power are real. He credits prayer and faith in Jesus for his deliverance and ongoing peace.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support
Every Day Is Saturday Podcast For Motivation, Inspiration And Success
Join the EDIS Free Community here: https://www.skool.com/everydayissaturday Why do so many Christians still live cautiously, quietly, and afraid—when they claim that Jesus Christ lives inside them? In this episode, I unpack a conversation that made me stop and think about fear, faith, and identity. I share why I don't operate with fear of failure or fear of looking foolish—and why that mindset should be normal for believers, not rare. This isn't about arrogance, recklessness, or hype. It's about understanding what it actually means to believe Christ lives in you—and how fear often disguises itself as wisdom, comfort, or “playing it safe.” If you've ever felt stuck, hesitant, or unsure about stepping forward in your calling, this episode will challenge you to rethink how fear has been shaping your faith. Topics covered: – Why cultural Christianity produces cautious believers – Fear of people vs. trust in God – When “being wise” is really just fear in disguise – What fearless faith looks like in real life This episode is for anyone who believes in God—but wants to start living like it. Join our free group and get in the best shape – financially, physically and spiritually – of your life. https://www.skool.com/everydayissaturday

We live in a world where the internet forgets nothing—every photo, post, and blog entry is seemingly stored forever. One major search engine, however, introduced a privacy feature allowing users to request the removal of personal data like phone numbers, home addresses, and more. While this doesn’t erase the data from the internet entirely, it significantly reduces its visibility, giving people a sense of control over their digital footprints. This idea of “scrubbing” the past echoes the prophet’s words in Isaiah 43:18-19. God said, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing.” These verses were spoken to Israel during their exile in Babylon—a period of deep despair and longing for restoration. God commanded His people to not fixate on their past failures or the pain of captivity but to look forward to the new work He was about to do—a new and more significant exodus—their deliverance from Babylon and return to their homeland. He wasn’t just erasing the past but “making a way” (v. 19) to a future filled with hope and purpose. Instead of dwelling on failures or regrets, let’s trust that God has “scrubbed” our past sins, regrets, and shame and—though Jesus’ sacrifice (Hebrews 10:10)—“remembers [our] sins no more” (Isaiah 43:25). God propels us toward the future He’s preparing.

The sermon you are about to hear comes from Saint John Chrysostom, one of the great Fathers of the Church and a preacher renowned for his clarity, courage, and pastoral realism. Speaking on marriage and family life, he draws directly from Saint Paul's Letter to the Ephesians to present a vision that is demanding, countercultural, and deeply humane. Chrysostom does not offer sentimentality or abstraction. He speaks about husbands and wives as they truly are, with their weaknesses, fears, sacrifices, and daily struggles, and he places all of it under the model of Christ and His Church. In an age that often misunderstands authority, love, freedom, and sacrifice, his words remain strikingly fresh. What you will hear is not a theory of marriage, but a call to holiness lived out in ordinary life, where love is proved through patience, self-giving, and fidelity to God.

"What if the sacred is not somewhere else? What if it's right here and right now?" In this rich and reflective episode of the Allender Center Podcast, Dan and Rachael welcome theologian, author, and beloved mentor Dr. Keith Anderson. Drawing from his book, "On Holy Ground: Your Story of Identity, Belonging, and Sacred Purpose," Keith invites us to reconsider vocation not as a role, title, or single decision made when you're young, but as a lifelong relationship with Jesus. It's one shaped by seasons, suffering, questions, and ordinary faithfulness. Together, they explore how calling is formed not in abstraction, but in the particularity of our stories: our bodies, our sufferings, our relationships, and our hope. If you are asking questions about purpose, identity, belonging, or how to remain open-hearted amid suffering and uncertainty, this episode is a gift. It's a reminder that vocation is not about getting it right once, but about learning, again and again, how to live your life with God. *This episode contains discussions of addiction and includes a quoted derogatory term.

Patrick responds to listeners wrestling with parish turmoil, scandal, and the tensions between Catholicism and Protestant churches, grounding his advice in Scripture and personal anecdotes. Communion debates, worries about Church "rules," and calls for prayer get honest airtime—he draws from stories of saints, practical analogies, and candid self-reflection. The hour moves quickly, shifting from heartfelt concern to moments of gentle humor, offering reassurance and clarity without shying away from uncomfortable truths. Cynthia - How do I know if and when I should leave my parish because my priest is not living right? (00:40) Joe - I want to thank you for explaining hermeneutics the other day. Can you defend Protestantism? (15:10) Jim - You were discussing Baptism. Pope JPII said that 'you are Christ'. Can you help me understand this? (23:43) Jennifer - We need to be united as Catholics, and we need to be patient and persevere. (27:55) Vanessa - Why is it acceptable to not go to daily Mass because it is not Latin? (33:21) Mary Ann - My husband is a great Protestant man but doesn't go to Church. Also, my friends are Protestant but don't want to be Catholic because it is too hard. (38:20) Joseph - How old do you think the world is? I think it is only 6,000-7,000 years. (48:29)
