Hast du dich schon mal gefragt, was eigentlich ein Priester ist? Er ist ein Verwalter von Sakramenten und Geheimnissen Gottes. Heute gebe ich einen kurzen Einblick in das Priestertum, das wir heute vorfinden.
There will be moments in our lives that change us forever—terrible moments, epic moments, and maybe even ordinary moments. My second-chance story and my life's calling spun out of the worst moment of my life. And, somehow, God made it into something really, really good.My guest today is Zach Meerkreebs. He was at the center of the Asbury outpouring, an historical spiritual movement that changed lives around the world. That moment marked Zach, but it's not the only moment that has drawn him into deeper wonder, surrender, and humility. During our time together, he shared about how the loss of his daughter and being let go from his first job in ministry have been as important as any revival to his spiritual formation and friendship with Jesus.What we mentioned:Lower: Igniting Spiritual Awakening Through Radical Humility by Zach Meerkreebs - https://a.co/d/fBFvr7IAbout Staughn Coleman - https://www.commonerscommunion.com/aboutThe Daily Examen - https://www.jesuits.org/spirituality/the-ignatian-examen/Barnabas Collective - https://www.barnabascollective.org/Zach on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/zachmeerkreebs/Scriptures we referenced:Philippians 2:6Matthew 7:6John 15:15-16Esther 9:1Ecclesiastes 7:2Psalm 139:1-24About Katherine & Hope HealsFor more messages of hope, free resources, and opportunities to connect with me: https://hopeheals.com/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals/Subscribe to The GoodHard Story Podcast!Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-hard-story-podcast/id1496882479Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0OYz6G9Q2tNNVOX9YSdmFb?si=043bd6b10a664bebWant a little hope in your inbox?

In Exodus 29, God instructs Moses about consecrating Aaron and his sons so that they can serve Him as priests, and about different kinds of sacrifices that they are to offer. In return, God promises to dwell amongst His people and be their God. The good news for us today is that Jesus is both the perfect priest and the perfect sacrifice for our sin. Through the cross, Jesus has consecrated us so that we might know Him and make Him known.
Exodus 33:13-16 13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” 14The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” 15Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”
This week, on a special edition of the SLHour, we revisit some of the conversations we had on this program in early 2025. We speak with beloved theologian and spiritual author Peter Kreeft and learn about the Consecrated Virginity. We also reconnect with singer/songwriters, Blake and Megan Flynn and Will Hickl of the Novum Collective.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Luke 1:39-56 - Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the Fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.” And Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for He has looked with favor on His lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me and holy is His Name. He has mercy on those who fear Him in every generation. He has shown the strength of His Arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has come to the help of His servant Israel for He has remembered His promise of mercy, the promise He made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.” Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.

One of the primary reasons Israel was supposed to love and care for their neighbors was because they were God's holy representatives. Their generosity towards the poor, their honesty, their justice, and their forgiveness were supposed to represent God's holy character to the world. As followers of Jesus, we are filled with God's Holy Spirit. Therefore, our lives and […]

While praying, Maddie de Aquino heard God speak to her heart as a young girl: "You are mine, and I am yours." Maddie thought she was being called to religious life.

There are many ways that God calls people to lives of holiness. Just as he calls lay people to holiness, he also calls individuals to consecrated life, including hermits, consecrated virgins, widows, and religious. In a very intentional, specific, and lifelong way, those in consecrated life commit themselves to the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Father Mike helps us see how all the different kinds of consecrated life are a great gift to the Church and the world. Despite the many ways the Lord calls his children to holiness, the goal of each human life remains the same – intimacy with Christ. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 914-924. 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.

More on the city of idolaters... Including how to determine how at least half of the city was involved, and the process by which each was put to death in an expeditious way. Also, what does it mean to destroy everything in a city when some of those things are not supposed to be destroyed ever?! Namely, consecrated property, and more. Of course, there's a machloket.

On the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will help us understand that the law of the Old Testament was given to us to show that God had a standard that we couldn’t reach.

This Sunday in our Missional Formation series, Pastor Sam Gibson spoke on the distinctive of Crucified and Consecrated, focusing on the discipline of fasting. Living a crucified and consecrated life allows believers to put to death their fleshly desires and makes space for Jesus to resurrect His desires in us. Building a lifestyle of fasting is one of the most effective and powerful practices that brings about this transformation in our lives. Yet, while many Christians know they should fast, they often don't understand why or how best to approach this discipline. More than just abstaining from eating, fasting is an intentional act of surrender that positions us to receive more of God.
As we finish our reading of Exodus, Fr. Mike recaps the events of Israel and how God shaped his people in worship. Today's readings are Exodus 39-40, Leviticus 27, and Psalm 83.
