At 10 years old, Kevin St.Clergy had a .550 batting average and dreams of the major leagues. At 11, he couldn't hit a single pitch all season. Every adult around him blamed his attitude. Two weeks after he quit the game, an eye exam found the real issue: he was practically blind without glasses. That story became the foundation for "Blind Blaming", the framework behind Kevin's bestselling book and the work he now does helping entrepreneurs and leaders stop solving the wrong problems and start finding the real root causes. In this episode, Kevin and Dan Albaum dig into:

Send us Fan MailWe  begin this episode by noting the nature of the Episcopal church and its teachings. It broke away from the Roman Catholic Church, but much of it's organization and teachings are very similar and in some cases identical to those of that Church. They have a clergy-laity distinction which is not found in the NT. We discuss what is found there. Baptism in the Episcopal is done by pouring water on the individual. We again look at baptism as commanded in the New Testament by the Lord. Eric looks at the doctrine of transubstantiation, what it is and why it is erroneous. Arnie notes that they engage in confirmation of children, what this consists of and the two points of error included in it. We look at the differing teaching of the Catholic and Episcopal churches on salvation and note that both are contrary to what the Bible says. We begin a discussion about how liberal the Episcopal priests and church are. We will have to complete this discussion in the next episode. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided for your convenience.

Mariam Wahba reports on the brutal persecution of Christians under the Chinese Communist Party's "sinicization" policy. This effort involves rewriting the Bible and mandating state-sanctioned clergy to ensure religion serves the state. Despite this, the underground church continues to grow, posing a challenge to CCP authority. (4)1905 SHANGHAI

“How much can a priest change in the Mass?” This question opens a discussion on the boundaries of liturgical modifications, alongside inquiries about the sacrilege of receiving communion in the hand, the optional nature of certain prayers during the Communion rite, and the significance of the priest’s gestures before the Gospel reading. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:40 – How much is the priest allowed to change things in the mass? 10:40 – How do we answer sedevacantist who say that prior popes made it a sacrilege to receive communion in the hand? 13:00 – In the Communion rite, in the preparation, sometimes there is a prayer the priest says and sometimes there is not — is it optional? 21:35 – i finally have made the decision to come to the Catholic church. Getting to talk to Tom last week about hyperdulia really helped. I was hoping for a book suggestion for Catholic basics. 23:20 – At what point during the Mass does the bread and wine become Jesus? 31:05 – what is the difference between infallibility & indefectability? The English translation for indefectability seems to indicate the Church is without error, but how if Clergy are sinners? 33:00 – When the priest is about to read the gospel, he makes the sign of the cross on his forehead, lips, and heart. What is the significance of that? Are there words that accompany that? 34:38 – I'm in the Reformed tradition. I was taught that Catholic Mass was like sacrificing Jesus over and over again, but I've never actually asked a Catholic their view of that. What is the Catholic view of that? 46:54 – If you go to a SSPX Mass after the upcoming illicit consecrations is it a mortal sin? 50:55 – What should an extraordinary minister of holy communion do when people come up with hands crossed for a blessing?

We welcome back canon lawyer Fr. Gerald Murray to examine a synodal study document on priestly formation that raises serious concerns about de-clericalization and the potential democratization of Church authority. If priestly formation is increasingly shaped by synodal principles, what effect could that have on clerical authority, sacramental ministry, and the governance of the Church?   Show Notes Study Group 4 Ministers of Christ: Recovering the Roles of Clergy and Laity in an Age of Confusion Women in the Priesthood?: A Systematic Analysis in the Light of the Order of Creation and Redemption Justice in the Church: Gender and Participation iCatholic Mobile The Station of the Cross Merchandise - Use Coupon Code 14STATIONS for 10% off | Catholic to the Max Read Fr.

We talk about why perspective changes everything, how the little details make the biggest difference, and the way life's interruptions — like the OJ Simpson story — can reshape an entire industry and a career. From there we get into Todd's transition from broadcasting into communication coaching, the evolution of audience engagement, and why the shift from "I" to "we" matters so much in storytelling.

Assistant Coach and podcast favorite Trevor Hogg returns to the Bench for this David-hosted game to team with Snyder to take on the team of Scott and Markkus.At the beginning of the game, Scott is happier to see David than he is with his new marriage - but that changes over the course of the game. Scott & Markkus figure it out early when they try to get inside David's head to second-guess his questions. Big shoutout later to Marfan Syndrome (don't ask!), and of course to Rabbi Rainwater.

Father Larry speaks directly to Bill about today's Gospel but pretends its not about Bill

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is tearing itself apart — and the trigger is about as basic as it gets. A proposal that clergy be required to be in monogamous relationships has ignited a furious denominational revolt, with progressive committees and pro-polyamory advocacy groups inside the church fighting the rule tooth and nail. The "More Light Presbyterians" hosted a "faithful polyamory 101" training last month while actively lobbying against the standard. Three separate advisory committees condemned the proposal, calling it an instrument of "shame, silence, and coercion" against "marginalized persons."Sean Reynolds was raised Presbyterian in Snohomish County, and he genuinely cannot figure out what happened to the church he grew up in. The activists pushing back aren't fringe outsiders — they're official denominational bodies using the language of equity and inclusion to argue that asking clergy to stick to one partner is itself a form of discrimination. The Adam and Eve argument? Somehow that's now a controversial position inside a Christian institution.This is what progressive capture of mainline institutions actually looks like at the end stage: not a slow drift on social justice talking points, but an outright war over whether basic monogamy belongs in the clergy conduct code at all. Sean breaks down the proposal, the groups leading the backlash, and what this moment says about where PC(USA) — and the broader progressive project — is actually headed.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the bell so you never miss a segment.#Seattle #GovernmentWaste #KingCountyGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

In 1985, 67% of Americans rated pastors high in honesty and ethics. Today? Just 27% - and only 17% among those under 35. It's one of the steepest trust declines of any profession. The question isn't if this affects your church - it does. The question is what you do about it.   ============================= Table of Contents: ============================= 0:00 - Intro 1:15 - The Numbers Are Worse Than You Think 3:38 - Why This Happened 13:18 - How to Rebuild Trust Through Communications   THE 167 NEWSLETTER
