Shake the dust folks

God can draw straight with our crooked lines

What's in a name?

If you've fallen, get up!

To be a true evangelist, you must first become detached!

First priest to invoke the term gut leakage in a homily!

Dealing with self absorption

My Lord and my God

A so-called "rehab" camp for child refugees, operating under the guise of faith, has been exposed for horrific abuse, leading to the removal of dozens of children. This disturbing pattern reveals the systemic dangers of religious institutions operating with unchecked power and zero oversight. When vulnerable populations, particularly immigrant and refugee children, are exploited in the name of piety, it exposes a deep societal failure where religious privilege shields heinous acts from accountability. This incident highlights the urgent need for stringent regulation and criminalization of these "faith-based" programs, ensuring all children are protected from the predatory practices masked by religious fervor. The cycle of abuse must end.News Source: Iowa Kingdom Ministry Rehab & Recreation 'Shekinah Glory Camp' accused of child abuse By Kelby Wingert for kcci.com June 16, 2025

They had God right in front of them and they told Him to leave

Don't be a procrastinator

Text us your questions!What happens when a successful religious leader transitions genders and loses everything? Reverend Dr. Paula Stone Williams takes us on her extraordinary journey from privilege to authenticity.Paula once stood at the pinnacle of evangelical success – CEO of a large nonprofit, television host, magazine editor. But beneath this accomplished exterior lived a truth she'd known since childhood: she was transgender. When she finally answered what she describes as a "calling" toward authenticity (instigated by the TV show Lost, belive it or not!), the cost was staggering. Paula lost her jobs, her pension, and virtually all professional connections overnight, earning less than $6,000 annually for four years after transition.This conversation reveals Paula's unique perspective as someone who has experienced life on both sides of the gender divide. Her observations about male privilege are particularly illuminating – "I'll not live long enough to lose my white male entitlement. I brought it with me," she notes, while describing the jarring experience of suddenly being dismissed, patronized, and underestimated in professional settings after transition.Rather than abandoning faith after being rejected by her religious community, Paula describes developing a deeper, more nuanced spirituality. She frames this transformation as moving from a "left-brain heavy faith" focused on doctrine toward one embracing intuition and mystery, leading to a more authentic connection with Jesus's teachings.Paula brings refreshing nuance to often polarized conversations about transgender issues, distinguishing between different manifestations of gender dysphoria while expressing concerns about some current treatment approaches. For church leaders navigating these complex waters, she offers practical advice from her extensive experience leading religious communities.Through her book As a Woman, viral TED Talks, and speaking engagements worldwide, Paula now shares the wisdom gained from her journey, through both profound loss and unexpected discovery. We hope this conversation informs and challenges you as much as it did us.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

Our conversation covers his unique transition and his deep commitment to leaving a meaningful legacy through his stories. Discover how Robert, inspired by his family and life experiences, has crafted a strong, relatable female protagonist named Isabel, who reflects his insights on personal growth and the importance of relationships.

Text us your questions!How did the role of "pastor's wife" replace ordination for women in church history? Is the news that there was women's ordination in church history hitting you unexpectedly right now? It's cool, we get it; take a moment and come back when you're ready.Historian and actual pastor's wife Beth Allison Barr returns for a potentially revelatory conversation about her latest book, Becoming the Pastor's Wife: How Marriage Replaced Ordination as a Woman's Path to Ministry. Drawing from extensive research, including archival discoveries and reading 150 pastor's wife books/manuals (yes, that's a real genre), Beth uncovers how the glorification of this role coincided with efforts to restrict women's ordination.This interview weaves eye-opening historical findings with deeply personal experiences. Beth shares stories of pastors' wives—herself included—being treated as church property, essentially an extension of her husband and his ministry rather than a full person. These aren't isolated incidents; they are systematic experiences faced by countless pastors' wives who are expected to provide unpaid ministerial labor while supporting their husband's careers.Perhaps most striking is the historical evidence that women served in virtually every ministry role men did for the first thousand years of Christianity—including as deacons, bishops, and preachers. The rise of complementarian theology—spoiler warning if you're not a regular listener of this podcast—is a modern development that deliberately ignores this rich history.While Beth doesn't shy away from the harm these practices have caused, she leaves us with hope borrowed from Doctor Who's beloved Van Gogh episode: while we can't undo past damage, we can "add to the good pile" by recognizing the truth, stopping harmful practices, and building a better future where women's gifts are fully welcomed in ministry. This is a conversation that will challenge your understanding of church history and inspire you to imagine new possibilities for what the church could be.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

Practicing custody of the eyes

Faith Matters is a bi-weekly Basilica of Saint Mary podcast that features conversations with Father Edward Hathaway, the Rector of the Basilica, on topics of interest to Basilica parishioners and the Universal Church. Today's episode centers on the Eucharist, as Father Hathaway invites parishioners to participate in the parish's June 22nd Corpus Christi Eucharistic Procession and points out why it's important to be reverent to the fact that Jesus is fully present -- Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist -- citing a recent TV show that mocked the Eucharist.  All are invited to take part in our traditional Corpus Christi procession following the 5 p.m. Mass on Sunday, June 22, 2025. Clergy and parishioners will participate in this prayerful, joyous witness to our core Catholic belief in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. After the Mass, we will process with the Blessed Sacrament, south along Royal Street, to the school gym at 400 Green Street, and back to the Basilica for Benediction. Following Benediction, there will be a reception in the courtyard at 314 Duke Street that will feature Perrier, Prosecco and popsicles.

What concern is it of yours if he has to remain?

The word "one."

In today's episode, I sit down with entrepreneur, speaker, and medical practice growth expert Kevin St. Clergy to talk about ownership, reinvention, and what it means to build a purpose-driven life. Kevin shares how mentorship from Russell Brunson and Jack Canfield shaped his journey, from scaling and selling his business to embracing personal setbacks as opportunities for growth. We unpack the value of structuring your day around non-negotiables, how to create momentum through aligned decisions, and why asking for help is a powerful act of faith. If you're navigating transition or aiming higher, this conversation offers clarity, perspective, and a path forward.
