There's been a (diaper?) rash of people peeing and pooping themselves at concerts all summer, climaxing naturally at a Morgan Wallen show. Why is this happening? We have theories. Then, a hilarious pilot program to have sex-adjacent robots teach kids in a small district is on hold. Not for long, though, as the company and the government would very much like to take it national. There's lots of fun perverts involved, plus a crypto scam.This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Mother Miriam, Bishop Schneider, and Cardinal Burke all maintain that Pope Leo XIV is the legitimate pope, despite criticizing aspects of his teaching. But church historian Ed Mazza argues that the more fundamental question is whether the current pope is truly a valid pope at all.Drawing on Church history, councils, theologians, and papal writings, Mazza contends that the Catholic Church has consistently taught that a pope cannot officially teach heresy through the Church's magisterium. Accepting the idea of a pope promulgating doctrinal error while remaining pope creates a theological contradiction. Historical debates over heretical popes and antipopes are not abstract; they are precedents.Looking at historical examples of saints, bishops, and lay Catholics confronting suspected antipopes and heresy: St. Columba, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Vincent Ferrer. Church history demonstrates that faithful Catholics have sometimes publicly challenged ecclesiastical authorities when they believed the faith was endangered, while also stressing the importance of charity toward those who disagree.Make the switch today to iCatholicMobile today!iCatholic Mobile—supporting the Catholic faith with every connection.https://www.facebook.com/icatholicmobile https://www.icatholicmobile.com/ HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

In this episode of Church History Matters, Scott Woodward and Casey Griffiths explore one of the most controversial political battles in Latter-day Saint history: the election and confirmation of Senator Reed Smoot. Although Smoot was not a practicing polygamist, his position as an Apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints led critics to question his loyalty to the United States and accuse the Church of continuing to wield improper political influence. Join Scott and Casey as they examine the famous Reed Smoot hearings, the national debate over religion and politics, and how this pivotal moment shaped the Church's relationship with the American government in the early twentieth century.

Patrick continues his conversation with Al from the fist hour about what Catholic’s mean by salvation Stacy - Can you explain the gift of tears and what this means? (10:13) Connie - A former student of mine is involved with the Society of St. Pius V. Are they with the Church? (19:38) Joe - When I pray, I use a lot of prayer cards. Many mention the intention. I am constantly praying for the same thing because it has not been answered. Am I lacking faith? Should I stop? (24:03) Terry - My Protestant friend is saying that if you leave the Catholic faith, you are doomed and says that CCC 841 says that Muslims are including. (33:16) Kathy - To whom was St. Jerome speaking when he said, “you can't love God if you don't know him and you can't know if you don't read Scripture”? (41:56)

Is hell a divine torture chamber? Dr. Paul Copan says no, and he's the one defending the traditional view. In Part 2 of our Hell Debate series, the Palm Beach Atlantic University philosopher and co-editor of the forthcoming Concerning Hell makes the biblical case for eternal conscious punishment while giving annihilationism the fairest hearing you'll find anywhere. Fresh off Kirk Cameron's viral Hellgate roundtable, Copan and Joshua work through the texts, the caricatures, and the question underneath it all: who is the God doing the judging?ABOUT THE EPISODE:When people think of hell, images of the devil tormenting souls with a pitchfork and eternal fire come to mind. Dr. Paul Copan defends the traditional view of hell, but he wants that picture gone. So if that's not hell, what is? And if the popular image is a caricature, what exactly has the church been arguing about?Copan isn't watching this debate from the cheap seats. He was at the table for Kirk Cameron's Hellgate roundtable, the conversation that lit up half the Christian internet. He co-edited the forthcoming book Concerning Hell (IVP Academic) with Chris Date, the very annihilationist who made the opposing case in Part 1 of this series. Friends on opposite sides, writing the book together. Now he sits down with Joshua for the conversation Hellgate didn't have time for.And the texts get harder the closer you look. Jesus calls the prodigal son "lost" with the same destruction language annihilationists build their case on, yet the son walks home alive. Smoke rises forever in Revelation 14:10-11 from something that supposedly no longer exists. Matthew 25:46 puts eternal punishment and eternal life in the same breath, and both sides claim that verse as their own. Copan walks through each one, and along the way he admits something scholars rarely admit on camera: a text he used to read wrong, and what changed his mind about 2 Thessalonians 1:9.Then Joshua asks the question this whole debate keeps circling: at what point does our picture of hell describe a different God altogether? Watch Part 1: https://youtu.be/sVOQfKMB6RI0:00 Introduction1:09 Dr. Paul Copan Introduction3:08 Eternal Punishment vs Annihilationism8:53 Kirk Cameron Hellgate Discussion13:50 Early Church Fathers17:55 Matthew 25 Eternal Punishment29:17 Destruction Language: Matthew 1038:05 2 Thessalonians: God's Presence41:04 Revelation 14: Apocalyptic Imagery52:04 Worshiping a Different God?1:03:48 Universalism and Orthodoxy1:11:41 Closing ThoughtsABOUT THE GUEST: - Concerning Hell: The Doctrine in Theological, Philosophical, Historical, and Biblical Dialogue (ed.

Who Can You Trust Online? In a world where social media can make anyone an overnight authority, how do we know who's teaching biblical truth and who's simply gaining influence?In this episode, I am joined by Rod Smith of Millenial Mustard Seed podcast, we discuss why Scripture commands believers to test every spirit, examine every teacher, and measure every message against God's Word—not popularity, charisma, or compelling testimonies.We cover:Why social media has changed who influences the Church.The rise of ex-occult and New Age influencers—and why testimony alone isn't enough.Red flags to watch for in pastors, podcasters, and Christian influencers.How to develop biblical discernment instead of following personalities.Why this conversation is more important now than ever as deception increases.Key Scriptures: 1 John 4:1, Acts 17:11, Matthew 7:15-23, Galatians 1:8-9, 2 Timothy 4:3-4If this episode encouraged you, please follow the podcast, leave a review, and share.-------------------------------Amy is a Christian counselor - book an appointment:https://www.biblicalguidancecounseling.com/appointmentsAmy's online Bible studies:https://rumble.com/c/BibleStudywithEyesontheright?e9s=src_v1_cmdInstagram: @eyesontherightpodcast@eyesontheright-------------------Follow Rod- https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/rodney-jay/

The Biblical Teacher: Why the Church Desperately Needs Sound Doctrine – Foundational Issues Part 7 | KIB 541 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description Welcome to Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 541 with Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake. What does Scripture teach about the biblical office of the teacher? Why is sound doctrine so critical in an age of deception, AI, and increasing spiritual confusion? In this episode, Dr. Michael Lake continues the Fivefold Ministry series by examining the biblical calling, character, and responsibilities of God's teachers. Drawing from the ministries of Jesus, Ezra, Apollos, Timothy, and the Apostle Paul, this teaching reveals that biblical teachers are called to do far more than transfer information—they are commissioned to bring believers into spiritual maturity through faithful exposition of God's Word. Mary Lou opens the program with a timely discussion on overcoming spiritual strongholds, breaking ungodly influences, and remaining firmly established in Christ rather than the counterfeit systems of the world. Together they examine the importance of discernment, the dangers of occult influence, the proper use of technology, and why believers must continually renew their minds with Scripture. If you desire to grow deeper in God's Word and develop biblical discernment for the days ahead, this teaching will provide a strong scriptural foundation. In this episode, you'll discover: ·       The biblical office of the teacher ·       Why Jesus was called "Teacher" more than any other title ·       The responsibilities of a biblical teacher ·       The difference between information and transformation ·       Why sound doctrine protects the Church ·       The importance of study, obedience, and faithful teaching ·       How false teaching spreads in the last days ·       Biblical principles for evaluating AI and modern technology ·       Why discernment is essential for every believer ·       How teachers help equip the Body of Christ for spiritual maturity

For decades, Christians have lamented the decline of culture. We criticize Hollywood, complain about entertainment, and point out everything that's wrong with the stories shaping our civilization. But what comes after the criticism? My guest, Andrew Stokich, co-founder of Logos Cinema, believes the answer isn't retreat—it's creation. In this episode, we explore why storytelling has always been one of the primary ways civilizations pass on their values, why beauty matters as much as truth, and why the battle for culture begins in the imagination long before it reaches politics. We discuss the failures of modern Christian filmmaking, the unique vision of Orthodox storytelling, and how Logos Cinema hopes to cultivate not just better films, but stronger communities rooted in the life of the Church. Andrew also shares the vision behind the Logos Parish Roadshow, the importance of moving from digital platforms to real-world relationships, and why building culture ultimately requires artists, families, parishes, and ordinary Christians working together. If you've ever wondered what it actually looks like to "build culture" instead of simply critiquing it, this conversation offers a hopeful and practical vision for the future.

God never calls you because you're capable. He calls you because he's powerful.Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Acts. In this episode, Paul explains why Jesus promised his disciples the power of the Holy Spirit before sending them into the world, reminding us that our weakness isn't an obstacle to God's work...it's the very place where his power is put on display.To hear more studies from the book of Acts, visit PaulTripp.com/Acts

Send us a Positive Review!In this episode Valerie tackles a seemingly contradictory pair of claims: The LDS church is experiencing record-breaking growth! The LDS church is experiencing record-breaking defection! Is one narrative simply not true? Interestingly, the answer is no, both narratives are true. Join Val as she unpacks these seemingly contradictory claims & breaks down how these claims reflect specific kinds of data collection.  She also explores how these narratives are tracking two different demographics of people in different stages of faith and consciousness development.Valerie's hope in episodes like this is to shine a light on normative human growth & development in the context of faith and to illustrate how the churches that do not understand or believe in stages of faith development only serve populations in [important but] earlier stages of growth & pathologize those in later stages, causing ever increasing levels of family fractures and institutional defection. PS: to read more & see the data, pick up a copy of download the book Torn: Why People We Love are Leaving the Church and What We Can Learn from Them by Jeff Strong, linked HERE.Timestamps:00:00 Welcome and Series Setup02:45 Two Conflicting Narratives04:16 Record Baptisms Data06:17 Disaffiliation Statistics12:01 Both And Explanation14:03 Three LDS Demographics14:21 Active Core Strengths17:58 Disaffiliated Core Growth22:30 Never Fully Affiliated26:11 Stages of Faith Framework29:26 Attachment Stage Church Fit31:02 Differentiation and Homelessness41:44 Integration and Compassion44:20 Closing ReflectionsSupport the showStories of Healing: Live Event July 30th in SLCSupport the showListen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODESFriday Episodes Annual Access $89Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10Valerie's Support & Processing GroupsGift a ScholarshipDownload Free ResourcesVisit our Website

Patrick explores the blessings and struggles Catholic families encounter, from moms torn between income and being with their kids to the Church’s teachings about burial, relics, and sacramental marriage. He answers questions on choosing faith-driven paths in a world of mixed messages, why certain Church practices matter, and how civil law interacts with belief. Through vivid stories and heartfelt exchanges, Patrick reveals how grace and patience thread through ordinary days, rooting people in hope even as life gets messy. Carmen (email) - You really think it's ok for a mom to quit her job and go on food stamps so the family can live on her husband's income? Wouldn't you think this would be a reason to limit family size using NFP, rather than going on welfare? (00:38) Rose - Why do bodies need to be buried? What’s wrong with cremation and keeping the ashes? (03:30) John - What is the reason we pray the prayer of St. Michael at the end of Mass? (09:32) Donna - How is it that the Catholic church makes relics out of the bodies of the Saints and spreads the body parts across the world? (10:53) Fred – Women should stay home and raise the family. Let your husband take care of the bills. (13:04) Scott - What is the definition of marriage? (15:08) Steffanie - I stopped teaching so I can be with my third baby. It’s not easy. (24:50) Stacy - Are priests not doing a good job warning people about going to hell? (30:22) Katherine - My son and daughter-in-law are meeting with the priest about becoming Catholic. During a recent meeting, the priest said he can go to confession (about marrying civilly) and go to Holy Communion. Would he be compounding sin upon sin? (40:45) Annette - I was looking for a new car, and a great surprise came through! (44:54) Michelle - I would like all parents to know that when kids are noisy at Mass, I am not bothered at all. The fact that there are there is a blessing and a joy (48:07) Lory - Stay at home moms: I was able to do that also. I had my own business and I was able to bring them with me. So many people told me that I should put my kids in day care. (49:57)

Patrick opens the lines to questions on everything from the nuances of calling oneself Catholic versus Roman Catholic, to the thorny spaces of marriage, conversion, and sacramental life when couples move at different speeds. He moves between callers wrestling with Protestant arguments on faith and works, personal battles with divorce, haunting memories of abortion, and even speculation about the glorified resurrected body and incorrupt saints. Unexpected candor and tension ripple beneath discussions as Patrick brings clarity and hope, offering listeners both practical steps and spiritual encouragement. Patrick continues his conversation with Rafael from the previous hour about by we are referred to as “Roman Catholics” Rick - I had a discussion with a Protestant and quoted James about faith and works. He said that the Book of James was just for the Jews and not for non-Jewish people. (06:21) Deidra - I heard your comment about the Holy Ghost. When 120 disciples were up in the upper room, they had the power to speak in tongues but didn’t have power to heal. People don’t speak in tongues anymore. (10:34) Jake - Why is a couple forced to be married in the Church if both are Catholic, but if only one is Catholic they are not required to be married in the Church? (16:56) Juan – My wife had an abortion many years ago and I still have guilt (33:52) Stuart - What are the anatomical features of the resurrected body? (40:01) Don - Encourages the last caller to not go through divorce and to stick it out (46:17)

Patrick explores pressing listener questions about Catholic practices, why posture at Mass matters, and what true unity looks like when traditions shift unexpectedly. Scriptural references and personal stories fuel a wide-ranging exchange on receiving Communion with the right preparation, the impact of Church history on faith, and facing challenges from Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons at the door. Those conversations stretch from investigating the label “Roman Catholic” to untangling misunderstandings about the sacraments, all while encouraging listeners to keep pursuing clarity and reverence in their faith journey. Kip (email) - As a cradle Catholic who has always knelt in reverence after the Lamb of God, I was so disturbed by the complete lack of kneeling and overall irreverence during the Liturgy of the Eucharist at a new parish I tried yesterday that it felt like a Protestant service and has left me convinced such practices are eroding belief in Christ’s true presence in the Eucharist and leading the flock astray. (00:46) Mark - I thought that being born again was enough. Why do I need 7 sacraments? (05:21) Dan - You gave me research to do on the early Church, and I now agree with you. Can you give me details on Linus, Cletus and Clement? (20:46) Kathy - How do I deal with Jehovah's Witnesses? Also thank you for the advice you gave me 2 months ago. (37:59) Rafael - Why are we referred to as Roman Catholics?

Read OnlineEntering and Becoming the House of GodJesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples approached him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.” Matthew 13:36Today's Gospel begins with a subtle yet significant detail: “Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house.” This transition from the public to the private reflects a recurring pattern in the Gospels: Our Lord teaches the crowds in parables, veiling the mysteries of the Kingdom, while reserving their fuller explanation for the disciples in the quiet intimacy of the house. In this context, the house becomes a symbol of the Church—the inner sanctuary where Christ reveals His secrets to those who follow Him not only outwardly, but with humble faith and spiritual hunger.Though the disciples—likely the Twelve Apostles—were uniquely privileged to share this moment with Jesus, in which He explained the Parable of the Weeds among the Wheat in precise detail, this sacred setting is not closed to us. Each of us is invited into this “house” through the life of the Church. Though the Apostles were weak and sinful like all of us, they were nevertheless chosen to be the first bishops—visible shepherds who would continue Christ's mission after His Ascension. Through their fidelity, the Word of God went forth to the ends of the earth, a proclamation that continues today through their successors.While each of the baptized is called to proclaim the Gospel in accord with his or her vocation and mission, the bishops—and their co-workers, the priests—uniquely form the spiritual household through which Christ continues to speak with clarity. Through their preaching, governance, and sacramental ministry, the hidden mysteries of Christ's teaching are continually made known. This is not due to their personal merit, but because of the sacred office entrusted to them by Christ through Apostolic Succession. They became the foundation of the Church—the spiritual House of God—in which Jesus continues to minister.Place yourself in this Gospel scene. You, too, are called to draw near to Christ, to enter the house with Him, and to seek understanding with the heart of a disciple. In the Church—this household of faith—the Master still teaches, still explains, still reveals the mysteries of the Kingdom to those who desire to listen.As you prayerfully see yourself in this scene, unite it with your experience of your parish church and other sacred places where God has spoken to you, nourished you, and transformed you. When the Gospel changes us, the Sacraments nourish us, and the Church guides us, it is always Christ who is teaching, feeding, and leading. We must, therefore, learn to see beyond the minister or the building, recognizing Christ's presence, speaking to us and sanctifying us through His Church.Though the Church—the visible presence of the Kingdom of God on earth—is the privileged place where we encounter Christ, each of us, in our own unique way, is also called to be this “house” for others. Because God dwells within us, His Kingdom is present within our souls. Thus, this Gospel scene is not only about entering the house—it is also an invitation to become that house: a dwelling place where others may encounter Christ, hear His Word, receive His mercy, and be drawn into His love through the witness of our charity.Reflect today on this house. First, see the Church as the house in which Christ speaks to you most clearly. Give thanks for the many ways our Lord has spoken to you and fed you in this sacred House of God. Reflect also on your own soul as a dwelling place of God. Believe that Christ desires to use you to bring others into His presence, dwelling within your soul. Give thanks for this gift, and pray that you may be both a faithful disciple within the house and a radiant house of grace for others to enter and meet Christ our Lord.Most intimate Lord, You desire to reveal to me—and to all Your children—the deep and profound mysteries of Your Kingdom of grace. Draw me to Yourself, to Your House of Grace and Mercy, which resides within Your holy Church. Teach me, sanctify me, and form me according to Your holy will. As You make Your dwelling within me, make my soul a place where others may encounter You, hear Your Word, and receive Your grace. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Christ Taking Leave of the Apostles, by Duccio di BuoninsegnaSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

The Roman pattern didn't end with Rome. It just kept running at a smaller scale.Everywhere the Western Empire had held together — Hispania, Gaul, North Africa, Italy, Britain — the political form gave out, but the substance didn't disappear. It fragmented, reassembled, and kept running the same three-part pattern at a new scale: money weakens the center, borders get harder to defend, and power drifts from institutions to individuals. That's the kill chain. And every post-Roman kingdom ran it, in slightly different form, over the next three centuries.By 800 AD, a Frankish king was crowned Emperor of the Romans by a pope who was still running what was left of Roman administration. 324 years after the "fall." The empire hadn't come back. It had been transformed — Roman memory fused with post-Roman military and economic power, held together by the Church.This is the finale of the "Life After the Fall of Rome" series. It's the synthesis of every argument the series has made: what actually happens when a civilization ends. And it's the setup for what comes next — because the Roman pattern didn't start with the fall. It started centuries earlier in the Republic. That's where we're going next.CHAPTERS:00:00 The Roman Pattern Didn't End with Rome02:03 Money, Borders, Power: The Three Fault Lines08:32 Visigothic Hispania: Religion as a Political Wall15:06 Frankish Gaul: The Most Successful Adaptation22:27 North Africa: Vandals, Byzantines, and Arabs28:13 Lombard Italy: Decentralization as Survival33:23 Anglo-Saxon Britain: The Frontier That Collapsed First38:21 The Papacy: How the Church Kept the Substance41:13 The Byzantine East: The Roman System That Survived47:38 800 AD: Charlemagne Becomes Emperor of the Romans51:24 The Modern Question: Money, Borders, Power Today1:00:33 Where the Pattern Started: The RepublicSOURCESPeter Heather — The Fall of the Roman Empire (2006) — the argument that barbarian kingdoms were assembled from Roman parts, not opposed to RomeMary Beard — the "lights went out" version of the fall was largely invented by later generationsBrian Ward-Perkins — The Fall of Rome and the End of Civilization (2005) — the archaeological evidence for material collapse, especially in BritainProcopius — History of the Wars — Belisarius's secretary, firsthand witness to the Vandal War and Justinian's Italian campaignsThe Corpus Juris Civilis (Justinian Code, compiled 530s) — the surviving Roman legal framework

God's purpose for our lives doesn't end with salvation—it continues through transformation, empowerment, and being sent into the world. In Part 3 of our Promise. Power. Purpose. series, Pastor Martin Steel walks through Elisha's journey from Jericho to the Jordan, showing how God prepares His people to carry His Kingdom beyond the walls of the Church. We are reminded that God's work is accomplished not by our own strength, but by the power of His Spirit, and that every follower of Jesus is called to bring His hope, healing, and character into every sphere of life.

What if the greatest move of God in our lifetime depends on one generation empowering the next instead of competing with it? Too often, churches preserve methods while neglecting the people God wants to reach.In Acceleration Mandate, Duane Sheriff sits down with Pastor John Nuzzo to explore God's pattern for generational acceleration through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Together they reveal the difference between the unchanging Gospel and the changing methods used to reach each generation, showing why seasoned believers must pass on wisdom, experience, and resources rather than personal preferences. They also address leadership transitions, spiritual legacy, the dangers of division, and why every believer—not just pastors—has a role in accelerating the next generation. Discover how turning hearts across generations can prepare the Church for a great awakening and a lasting Kingdom impact.

In this episode, Sathiya sits down with Will Knecht, founder of More the Man, a rapidly growing Christian newsletter reaching tens of thousands of men each week, to discuss what it truly means to become a Christlike man in today's world. Will shares his powerful testimony of how God transformed his life through financial hardship, divorce, and personal brokenness, ultimately calling him to write words of encouragement and biblical truth despite his own insecurities. Together, they explore the importance of authentic biblical masculinity, cultivating meaningful brotherhood, developing sustainable spiritual disciplines through every season of life, and creating safe spaces where men can openly discuss struggles such as pornography without shame. They also examine why faithfulness in the sphere God has entrusted to you matters more than worldly success and how humility, vulnerability, and consistent time with God produce lasting spiritual growth. Whether you're seeking deeper intimacy with Christ, stronger relationships with other men, or practical encouragement to live out your faith, this conversation offers timeless wisdom for becoming the man God created you to be.

Read OnlineFrom Humble BeginningsJesus proposed a parable to the crowds. “The Kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.” Matthew 13:31–32Today's Gospel presents two brief yet profoundly rich parables—the mustard seed and the leaven—each revealing distinct dimensions of the mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven. Together, they draw our attention to the Kingdom's humble beginnings and hidden power, which unfold silently yet irresistibly in the world and within the human soul.Each parable possesses layers of meaning, and the Church Fathers deeply explored these levels. In the Parable of the Mustard Seed, the seed is frequently interpreted as Christ Himself. As “the smallest of all the seeds,” the mustard seed illustrates the hiddenness and apparent insignificance of Christ's earthly life, from a worldly point of view. He entered the world in obscurity, born in a cave in Bethlehem, fleeing into exile in Egypt, and growing up in the humble village of Nazareth. His divinity—the Eternal Word through whom all things were made—was veiled beneath the lowliness of His humanity.Even as He hung upon the Cross, His divine majesty was hidden from the eyes of the world. Yet from this seed of self-emptying love—this total descent into poverty and death—sprang forth the triumph of the Resurrection, shattering the bonds of sin and death. In His risen glory, Christ has become the “largest of plants,” and, as the parable says, “the birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.” This image is often understood as a symbol of the Church, the Mystical Body of Christ, in which the peoples of the earth find shelter, nourishment, and eternal hope.The mustard seed also represents Christ planted within each soul. When He is sown in the fertile ground of our hearts—through faith, prayer, and the Sacraments—He takes root and grows, transforming our lives from within. Though His presence may begin in us imperceptibly, it has the power to expand beyond all measure, bearing fruit not only in our lives but in the lives of all those we encounter. Ultimately, this growth finds its consummation in the New Heavens and the New Earth, where the Kingdom of God will be fully revealed.The second parable—the leaven—expresses a similar truth in another form. The leaven is often interpreted as Christ or His grace, working silently and effectively. Mixed into three measures of flour, it gradually transforms the entire batch—symbolizing the hidden work of grace within the soul. Here, Christ is not only among us, but within us, sanctifying every part of our being from the inside out.Today's Gospel concludes with a beautiful citation from “the prophet,” taken from Psalm 78:2: “I will open my mouth in parables, I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation of the world” (Matthew 13:35). On the surface, the parables appear simple, but they conceal divine truths from those who approach with indifference or pride. Yet for those who receive them in faith and prayerfully ponder them, the Holy Spirit opens the inner meaning. What was hidden from the beginning of creation is now disclosed—not to the wise and learned of this world, but to the humble of heart. In this way, the parables serve as a school of divine wisdom, inviting the soul to move beyond mere appearances into the depths of God's eternal plan.Reflect today on the hidden ways in which Christ is at work in your life. Are you attentive to His quiet growth within you? Do you nourish the seed of His presence through prayer and the Sacraments? Trust that, even in small beginnings, God is building His Kingdom—in you, through you, and for His greater glory.Most glorious King, You desire that Your Kingdom be born within our lives through the grace poured out by Your Passion, Death, and Resurrection. Come to me, Lord, and plant the seed of grace deep within my soul. Let it take root and grow, transforming me according to Your perfect will. Through me, expand Your Kingdom on earth, until the day we behold the fullness of Your eternal Kingdom in glory. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Parable of the Mustard Seed, by Lawrence OP, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0.Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

A cessationist prays for a sick friend, and the friend recovers. He calls it answered prayer. A continuationist watches the same moment and calls it the gift of healing. Same event, same God, two labels. And that difference explains more about why this debate stalls than almost anything else.ABOUT THIS EPISODE:The conversation continues. In Part 1, Joshua Lewis and Michael Miller looked at how continuationists and cessationists end up misrepresenting each other: different theological streams, suspicion of motives, judging each other's worst instead of engaging each other's best. This episode picks up where that one left off, and it examines the reasons behind the arguments.Because the deepest divides in this debate aren't really about the facts. Both sides can watch the identical healing and walk away more convinced of their own position. So Josh and Michael dig into the questions underneath: Does personal experience count as theological evidence, or is testimony inadmissible from the start? Why do charismatic scandals go viral while other traditions' failures stay quiet? And how do personal wounds, the cold church that dismissed your experience or the one that manipulated your trust, quietly harden into theology?Join us for an episode on how we can better see each other's point of view and how to find common ground as Christian brothers and sisters in the continuationist versus cessationist debate.PART 1 EPISODE:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDmzY30Ddl4Join Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller & Michael Rowntree for RemCon "Prophecy & Hearing God's Voice" October 1-3 | Houston, TXLearn more & register: https://www.theremnantradio.com/remnant-fall-conference-2026 Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

What if sadness isn't something to avoid, but a mark of God's grace at work in your life?This week, Paul and Shelby continue their study of the Beatitudes by exploring why Jesus calls those who mourn "blessed," and how a broken heart over the world's suffering and our own sin leads to the comfort and hope found only in Christ.

Patrick invites listeners into unexpected territory as he tackles questions on Catholic prayer translations, parish life challenges, family suffering, and the place of laypeople in spiritual warfare. An unsettling story about artificial intelligence escaping its digital boundaries brings a technological twist to the conversation while listeners share heartfelt calls about faith, confusion, and finding solid ground when facing loss. Thought-provoking exchanges stretch from the mysteries of guardian angels to the unsettling rise of sentient machines. James (email) - Why is the "Glory Be" in the Divine Office different from the classical version? Why hasn't the Church sought to standardize it? Sometimes I get looks from people who have never heard that version. (00:30) Agatha - I earnestly ask questions at church, and I caused scandal for reasons I don’t understand. (03:33) Susanna – What liberation prayers can a lay person pray, and which ones should I stay away from? (15:23) Barbara - I had a 63-year-old sister with down syndrome. She could not swallow. Priest said she could not express her wishes, and it was okay for God to take her. (22:23) Janice - I think its urgent for her to put in the IV because God is calling her home. (26:51) Bennett (12-years-old) - What happens to your guardian angel after you die? (32:21) Gabriel - Are exorcist’s prayers good say, since they have experience in that? There is a prayer book with liberation prayers for lay people. (38:48) Mary - A friend of mine died in-home hospice. Towards the end, she was forced to eat and drink. The hospice nurse gave a beautiful explanation. (44:08) OpenAI’s models hacked into Hugging Face on their own (46:48)

Patrick welcomes questions that reach from Catholic faith and science, like connecting Adam and Eve to evolution, to family struggles over a loved one joining a zealous group, and the emotional weight of defending Church teachings with clarity and love. Listeners voice worries about things such as white wine in the chalice, hydration for a fading parent, and even dogs in the pews, while Patrick responds with practical wisdom, heartfelt encouragement, and resources to keep faith at the center. Unexpected, sometimes touching, always honest. Mike - My daughter is learning about evolution. She is trying to square how evolution and Adam and Eve came about? (00:31) Joe - My wife is starting to leave the Church. She has joined another denomination. How do I defend the faith and prove their flaws. (11:51) Colleen - Sunday Mass, I took the precious blood. I saw in the chalice before I consumed it, and it was white wine. Is that the incorrect matter to use? (27:44) Amy - I help teach OCIA. I was a convert myself. There is a little antagonism when you get closer and closer to coming to Church. (33:30) Jackie – My 96-year-old mom had a stroke. She vomits when she takes water. She doesn't want extraordinary means to stay alive. Is withholding IV from her a sin? (42:30) Rose - What is your stance on regular pets in Church during Mass? (48:37)

Patrick teases the upcoming Keep Going album, written with Cyrus and shaped by AI, as a playful, free gift families can enjoy together. He addresses listeners’ concerns about AI as both tool and potential trouble, draws parallels to past inventions like refrigerators, and fields raw, honest conversations about parenting, public schools, and the modern risks kids face—sometimes through a Happy Meal drive-thru memory that’s both funny and sobering. The result mixes anticipation, caution, nostalgia, and encouragement in unexpected turns. Br John Mary (email) - Could the SSPX come back into full communion with the Catholic Church? (04:36) Frank (email) - What can practicing Catholics do on the day of interring their cremated mother’s remains to make it more reverent when no formal service is planned? Eli (email) - If a person’s sincerely well-informed conscience reaches a decision contrary to Church teaching, is the Church effectively saying the individual is wrong and the Church is right no matter how informed they believe themselves to be? (08:52) Jane (email) – AI is a slippery slop to bad, so I’m hesitant to enjoy music made by it (16:27) Anne (email) - Listening this morning to the conversation about AI and Elon Musk's comments is alarming to say the least. It seems that he is glorifying the idea of not having to work or to study. But what do we lose? We lose the opportunity to develop virtue. We are not meant to live lives of leisure. (21:58) Ray (email) - I agree completely with homeschooling or Catholic schooling if you believe your specific child will be negatively influenced by culture to strong extent. (38:18)

Political theology is finally having its moment — every op-ed columnist reaching for Christian nationalism, every neoreactionary tech founder invoking the katechon, every mainline pastor watching JD Vance lecture the Pope about just war doctrine, every abolitionist community organizer working the intersection between the sacred and the political. And yet almost no one seems to know what political theology actually is. Luke Bretherton and Vincent Lloyd — two of the three co-authors of a genuinely important new Columbia University Press book, What Is Political Theology? — sat down with me to explain what they had done. The book itself models the thing it argues for: three scholars from three disciplines refusing to synthesize their differences and instead sitting inside the productive tension. In one hour we cover why the standard Carl Schmitt genealogy needs to be de-centered, what from above and from below are actually good for, why secularism is not a neutral space but an ideology, what Peter Thiel's Antichrist lectures accidentally reveal, why Richard Dawkins now identifies as a cultural Christian, and what the difference between apophatic and cataphatic is currently doing to Luke's and Vincent's friendship. Live disagreement, on tape. The nice version. You can watch the video on YouTube Dr. Luke Bretherton is Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology at the University of Oxford, one of the most senior chairs in British theology, appointed by the Crown. Previously, he was Robert E. Cushman Distinguished Professor of Moral and Political Theology at Duke Divinity School. An ordained Church of England priest. Dr. Vincent W. Lloyd is Professor of Theology and Religious Studies and Director of the Center for Political Theology at Villanova University, and an editor of the journal Political Theology.  The book at the center of this conversation is What Is Political Theology?, co-authored with Dr. Valentina Napolitano, Professor of Anthropology and Connaught Scholar at the University of Toronto, whose chapter offers an anthropological political theology out of her research on global Catholicism, migration, and the U.S./Canada borderlands.

Read OnlineDrinking Christ's ChaliceThe mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sons and did him homage, wishing to ask him for something. He said to her, “What do you wish?” She answered him, “Command that these two sons of mine sit, one at your right and the other at your left, in your Kingdom.” Jesus said in reply, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?” They said to him, “We can.” Matthew 20:20–22Among the Twelve Apostles, two were named James: James the Greater, son of Zebedee, and James the Lesser, son of Alpheus. James the Greater, whom we honor today, was likely called “greater” due to his prominence in the Gospel narrative. He was the brother of John the Evangelist, and tradition holds that their mother was Salome, possibly the sister of the Blessed Virgin Mary—making James and John cousins of Jesus.In today's Gospel, the mother of James and John expresses her natural affection and ambition for her sons by approaching Jesus with a bold request: that they might sit, one at His right and the other at His left, in His Kingdom. While her petition reveals faith in Jesus and love for her sons, it also highlights a misunderstanding of the nature of Christ's kingship. Earthly rulers may reign with power, honor, and prestige, but the Kingdom of God is not built on worldly glory; it is built on humble, self-giving love.Jesus responds with a gentle yet penetrating question: “Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?” The “chalice” refers to His suffering—His Passion and Death. It is filled not with comfort or honor, but with humiliation and sacrifice. James and John respond with confident simplicity: “We can.” Their answer, though likely offered without full understanding, reveals a spark of heroic love and loyalty that would, in time, be tested and fulfilled.Jesus affirms, “My chalice you will indeed drink.” Saint James would become the first of the Apostles to suffer martyrdom, as recorded in Acts 12:2, when he was beheaded by the sword under Herod Agrippa. Herod sought to strike at the newly developing Church and to appease the Jews who opposed Jesus and His followers.James truly shared in the Passion of Christ, offering his life in union with his Master. His martyrdom was followed by the arrest of Peter, likewise intended to please those persecuting the Church. Yet while Peter was miraculously freed by an angel, James was not. Why?Like James and Peter, each of us has a unique mission in life. Some, like Peter, are raised to prominence and leadership. Others, like James, are called to a more hidden and radical sacrifice. Both vocations are precious in the eyes of God. James' early martyrdom was not a failure but a fulfillment—a witness to the glory of drinking deeply from the chalice of Christ.As we honor Saint James, reflect today on his zeal, faith, and desire to be an active member of Christ's Kingdom. Though he misunderstood what that entailed at first, he remained faithful until the end. Reflect on your own desire for status or recognition. Do you seek honor among others, whether in the Church or society? If so, turn to Saint James, who ultimately embraced the true mission of discipleship. We, too, must drink Christ's chalice of selfless and sacrificial love, willingly laying down our lives in countless ways. Resolve to embrace whatever mission God entrusts to you. If He opens the door to leadership and prominence, walk through it humbly. If He leads you through the door of sacrifice and holy suffering, do not hesitate. God has a unique and glorious mission for each of us—different from one another, yet equally glorious when accepted with love and fidelity.My sacrificial Lord, You freely and completely offered Your life on the Cross and invite me to follow in Your footsteps. Saint James responded with courage, drinking the chalice You gave him, even to the shedding of his blood. Reveal to me, Lord, the mission You have entrusted to my life, and grant me the strength to embrace it with all my heart. May I, like Saint James, share in the glory of Your Kingdom through a life of faithful love and sacrifice. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: St James the Apostle, by Peter Paul RubensSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Brenda J. and Karen B. are honored to welcome Jo to the Hanging On To Hope podcast for another episode in our Real People, Real Voices series—a series dedicated to giving survivors a safe place to share their stories, find healing, and have their voices heard, some for the very first time. In this powerful episode, Jo shares how a church community believed her when she disclosed the abuse and came alongside her with practical support. As one of Brenda's very first advocacy cases from beginning to end, this story is a powerful reminder of what can happen when survivors are believed, supported, and not left to walk alone. Jo's journey is heartfelt, eye-opening, and filled with hope. https://hangingontohope.org

On the evening of December 24, 1926, a farmer in Farwell, Texas, called the sheriff to report that his neighbor, George Hassell, had been acting very strangely in recent days and he had been telling conflicting stories about the whereabouts of his family, who had been missing for several days. When the sheriff arrived at the Hassell farm, he began questioning George about where his family had gone, but mid conversation, Hassell removed a pocket knife from his pocket and stabbed himself three times in the chest.  Hassell was taken to the hospital, where he was not expected to survive, but against the odds, George pulled through. With no option for escape and having given law enforcement good reason to suspect him in the disappearance of his family, George began confessing to multiple murders. At first, it was assumed he had flown into a rage and murdered his family a week earlier, but the more Hassell talked, the clearer it became that George Hassell violent and murderous behavior went well beyond the walls of his home in Farwell.

2 Chron 8:11-10:19, Rom 8:9-25, Ps 18:16-36, Pr 19:26

As the final installment of Fr. John's cycling-French saint pairings, this week's podcast explores the charisms of one of the great friendships of Church history - St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane Frances de Chantal. Centered on the shared life in Annecy and the foundation of the Visitation religious community, Fr. John and Fr. Sean unpack some of the seminal insights of St. Francis' Introduction to the Devout Life. Tying this into the cycling history of the famous Col de la Croix de Fer (or "Pass of the Iron Cross"), they hope to instill a sense of our heroic capacity in Christ through the ordinary and everyday things of life.
