In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my friend theologian, Bible scholar, and former Protestant pastor Dr. John Bergsma to dig into one of the most nefarious misconceptions about the Catholic Church versus Protestantism and, cordially, share some of his shocking conclusions. Is Protestantism really more "Biblical" than Catholicism? Dr. Bergsma says, no. On topics of how the Church is organized, what worship looks like, what Jesus taught, how authority is passed on, and how decisions and interpretations of Scripture are made Dr. Bergsma shows, over and over again, that the Catholic Church is more closely aligned to Scripture than Protestantism at its very core.This is a truly fantastic episode!For more from Dr. Bergsma visit his website.

Shawn, Cullan, Justin and Other Justin attempt to understand this parable from Matthew chapter 13 and argue some like usual.

Send us a messageIn end times prophecy, many Bible Scholars see The United Nations as a formidable precursor to the “Beast” of Revelation, due to its pursuit of global governance, international law, and a centralized economic or peace system representing the political alliance of nations that will precede the Return of Christ. But perhaps the most significant role the UN could be playing is in the religious aspect of the Beast's Global Empire.While many are aware of the political, social, and civic roles the UN plays throughout the world, what remains largely unknown is the hidden religious mandate to usher in a global religion, and to keep its ties to the occult. And remember that the systems of the world are ruled by Lucifer with his Satanic agenda at the forefront. To uncover the UN's veiled spiritual agenda, and to establish the connection with Revelation 13,  in Part 1 we'll take a close look at the beliefs and plans of prominent occultists and their offshoots. In Part 2, we'll reveal how this all fits in with the UN, the Rapture, and the Tribulation of God's Wrath upon an unbelieving world.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

It's Friday, July 17th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Scottish man arrested for hate speech about pro-life politician's murder A 50-year-old man, pretending to be a woman, who works at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, publicly celebrated the murder of former British Member of Parliament Ann Widdecombe, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Herbert, an Aberdeen web developer, who prefers to be called “Heather,” wrote, “Some good news for once. I hope it was an extremely painful death” and “I hope she was handcuffed to the bed as she screamed in agony.” Widdecombe, a pro-life advocate, served in the Parliament from 1987 to 2010. She endeared herself to Britons with her surprisingly popular appearances on the television shows Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Big Brother.  Herbert has now been charged for his bizarre hate speech as the investigation into her murder continues. Some have raised speculation that the arrest might be due less to Herbert's hate speech and more to do with what, if any, inside knowledge he might have about her murder. Widdecombe is the second murder of a high-profile pro-life politician in England this decade. Sir David Amess, who was a Member of Parliament for 38 years and Widdecombe's friend, was murdered at a local event in 2021 by Islamist Ali Harbi Ali. Arizona Senator admits to two extra-marital affairs U.S. Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona, a married man and a potential 2028 presidential candidate, engaged in sexual relationships with at least two House staffers, reports the New York Post. The 46-year-old lawmaker admitted to the two extramarital affairs. In Exodus 20:14, God gave Moses the seventh of the Ten Commandments: “You shall not commit adultery.” Man, who spewed racial epithet, charged black NBC Today co-host Andrew Truelove allegedly stormed NBC's "Today" show at 9:00am Eastern on July 16th, lunged at anchor Craig Melvin, a black man, and called him the N-word, reports NBC News. He is now facing a slew of hate crime charges. Truelove, who is white and was unarmed, had entered a stairwell and made his way backstage near the dressing room. The staff and security rushed in -- and the intruder was ultimately detained and arrested. The incident was not captured during the broadcast. Nobody was hurt. Roughly 15 minutes afterwards, both Craig Melvin and Al Roker were on air. Neither hinted at the drama. AG nominee open to roll back Biden's mail-order Abortion Kill Pill During his confirmation hearing before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on July 15th, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche faced a range of questions from Republicans regarding the Abortion Kill Pill mifepristone, reports The Washington Stand. Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri asked about the Trump administration's perspective. HAWLEY: “Joe Biden took away President Trump's safety restrictions on this chemical abortion drug. He instituted a mail order abortion policy. So, my state went to court to try to defend our state's laws. A number of other states, Republican states, did this. And of course, in the meantime, the president changed, thank goodness. And now we have President Trump. “But that means that that now we have the state of Missouri, a Republican state, along with a number of other conservative Republican states, are in court against a Republican administration, fighting over Joe Biden's abortion policy.” BLANCHE: “I share your concerns, as does this entire administration. We have the most pro-life president in history, and you are one of the most pro-life senators in this body. “We are not defending what Biden did, and will not. The FDA has a process that takes a year. They've committed to do it in significantly less time than a year. President Trump's administration, in its entirety, will protect the life of the unborn.” HAWLEY: “Presumably, you have no issue with President Trump's earlier rule, which had common sense safety restrictions. You had to see a doctor, get a prescription. There had to be a follow-up visit to see if there was any hemorrhaging. Those were in place before Biden gutted them. “Presumably, there's no issue with any of those.” BLANCHE: “I anticipate the Department [of Justice] would defend those rules.” HAWLEY: “Why not, while the FDA is doing its review, why not put President Trump's rules in place? They're good rules. Why not do that rather than leave in place these rules?” BLANCHE: “We want to get to a good result, consistent with President Trump's administrative directive and priorities. And we very much believe that the Biden rules were wrong.” Psalm 127:3 says, “Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him.” Senator Cruz: Comstock Act should prohibit Abortion Pill by mail And Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas also addressed the Abortion Kill Pill with Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche. CRUZ: “The Comstock Act provides that every article or thing designed or adapted or intended for producing abortion is declared to be non-mailable. I have to admit that statutory text to me looks quite straightforward. It is not subtle. It is not difficult. It is straightforward. “As you know, during the Biden administration, the Office of Legal Counsel issued an opinion concluding that those provisions generally do not prohibit mailing abortion drugs unless the sender intends them to be used unlawfully. Is that right?” BLANCHE: “Yes, that's correct.” CRUZ: “Now, [the] Office of Legal Counsel's opinions may be reconsidered when the Attorney General concludes they are inconsistent with the law. Is that right?” BLANCHE: “That is right.” CRUZ: “Will you commit to carefully reviewing that opinion to ensure that it faithfully reflects the actual statutory text that Congress enacted?” BLANCHE: “Yes.” CRUZ: “Will you commit that the Department [of Justice] will carefully evaluate every lawful action available to ensure the faithful enforcement of the Comstock Act and other federal pro-life acts?” BLANCHE: “Yes.” CRUZ: “I want to point out the real consequences of the Biden administration's lawless authorization of mail-order abortions. According to FDA reporting, the abortion pill has taken more than 3.7 million unborn lives, caused 24 maternal deaths -- moms are being killed -- and resulted in at least 4,195 adverse maternal reactions, including hemorrhage, excruciating abdominal pain, and severe, life-threatening infections. “The position of the Democrats now seems to be that women and teenage girls should be able to get mail-order abortions without a doctor being involved at all. And I will tell you, the death toll from that is horrific, and it needs to stop.” Once Blanche is voted out of the Judiciary Committee, he will need 51 votes of the 100 senators to be confirmed as President Trump's next U.S. Attorney General. Focus on the Family president Jim Daly to step down Nearly two decades after taking the helm of Focus on the Family following the departure of its founder, Jim Daly is preparing to hand the ministry to a new generation, reports The Christian Post. The president of one of America's most influential Evangelical groups announced this week that Focus has officially launched a nationwide search for its next leader, marking the beginning of what is expected to be an 18-month succession process ahead of the ministry's 50th anniversary in 2027. Unlike many recent leadership transitions in prominent Christian groups, this one is not being driven by scandal or internal upheaval. Rather, Focus on the Family is intentionally choosing to transition while it's healthy. Jim Daly said, "My core belief was it's good to get new faces, new energy, younger leadership in to speak to the 30-, 40-somethings about what they're facing with marriage and parenting. I'm going to be turning 65. It's time to start looking for the next-gen leadership. That's really the goal, and to do it well is the other goal." The search, being conducted with executive search firm FaithSearch Partners, will culminate in a vote by Focus' board of directors. Founded in 1977 by Christian psychologist and author Dr. James Dobson, Focus on the Family grew from a fledgling radio ministry into one of the most recognizable voices in American evangelicalism. Through its daily radio broadcasts, magazines, books, counseling services, and public policy advocacy, the Colorado Springs-based nonprofit became a defining force in conversations about marriage, parenting, religious liberty, and the sanctity of life. Today, the ministry reaches millions through radio, podcasts and digital media, employing roughly 750 people and overseeing an annual budget of $150 million. Worldview listeners weigh in from Texas and Alaska Liz Walker in Lubbock, Texas, wrote me and said, “I learned about your newscast from a Homeschool Mom blog. I love listening to it every weekday morning. I definitely get news that I would not get otherwise, including updates of the persecuted church and calls to action.  As a homeschool mom, I often want to do things, but feel like I am powerless.” And Thomas Williams in Wasilla, Alaska, wrote, “I just wanted to drop you a little note and say how much we value what you and your team are doing at The Worldview. My wife and I are raising eight kids -- six boys and two girls. We homeschool and use many items from Generations in our daily life. I pray that God continues to bless the work that you have begun.” 8 Worldview listeners gave $3,220 And finally, on Thursday night by 9:30pm Central, 8 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year.

Christina Hello, everyone, I'm Christina Darnell, the managing editor of MinistryWatch. Welcome to the MinistryWatch podcast. In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” So, Warren, what's up first? Warren The San Francisco Chronicle has yet another article about the so-called Great Wealth Transfer. According to the article, the “term [was] popularized by a 2024 report from market research firm Cerulli Associates. The broad idea is that, over the next two decades, as baby boomers journey to the great postwar subdivision in the sky, they will bequeath $124 trillion in assets — leaving $105 trillion to their children and $18 trillion to charities.” Christina You said this was “yet” another article. Do you think this story is overblown? Warren If you detect a bit of weariness in my tone, it is not because I don't believe in the Great Wealth Transfer. It is coming, but it is always coming. It is not an event. It's a process. A generation doesn't die in a day, or a year. It dies over the course of a generation, and as long as the population and the economy keep growing, EVERY generation's wealth will be greater than the previous generation. That's the simple logic of the situation, but journalists breathlessly try to turn the Great Wealth Transfer into news every few months. Christina That said, you are here promoting the story and the idea yourself. Warren Touche! The Chronicle article is interesting, and I recommend it. And to all our readers: make sure you take our Philanthropy Assessment. It will give you some simple, actionable steps to make sure that your wealth ends up where you want it to go. Christina Warren, you've said that one of the most persistent myths in Christian world is the myth that the ranks of the Catholic Church is swelling with ex-evangelicals. Warren It's not happening. Data guru Ryan Burge has pointed out that when there's movement, it's more often from Catholic to evangelical. Burge this week published a treasure trove of data from Detroit Catholics that further documents the decline of Catholicism in the U.S. Among his observations: “In 2011, the average weekend Mass attendance in the archdiocese was about 231,000 people. That dropped below 200,000 by 2015, it declined to 163,000 by 2019. The most recent data that these workbooks provide is from 2024, when Mass attendance was just under 140,000. According to their own reports, the Catholic Church in Detroit is recording an attendance decline of 4% per year.” Christina A lot of folks might say that Detroit is an anomaly. It's been a city in decline. Warren That's a myth, too. And if you are thinking, “Yeah, well, that's Detroit. The city is dying.” Burge says that's an old narrative. The population of Detroit rose during that same period. Christina A headline in The Jerusalem Post grabbed your attention this week. Warren It did. That headline is: “Why 800 million Evangelical Christians stand with Israel in an age of rising antisemitism.” It grabbed me because there are nowhere near 800 million evangelicals in the world. The most respected source for global Christian demographics is the Center for the Study of Global Christianity. It puts the number at around 400 million. Christina Well, maybe that headline was the product of an over-zealous headline writer. Warren I thought that too. Then I read the first line of the editorial, by Greg Denham, pastor of Rise Church in San Marcos, California and the founder of the Pastors Alliance for Israel. The headline merely echoed the first sentence in his essay: “At a time of rising anti-Israel sentiment, anti-Zionism, and antisemitism, it is worth asking why nearly 800 million Evangelical Christians continue to stand firmly with the nation of Israel.” It is a good question. It would be a better question if he got his facts right. That might cause readers to care more about his answer. Christina While we're on the subject, a new survey indicates Americans are souring on Israel. Warren The most recent of Pew Research survey, unveiled on Thursday, July 9, found that most U.S. adults – 62 percent — now view the Israeli government unfavorably, a nearly 20-point shift from 2022, when only 43 percent said the same. By the way, I'm a big supporter of Israel. I've visited there twice. But if you don't think recent events in the Middle East aren't having a major impact on the world's opinion of Israel, you're not paying attention. Christina Warren, I know you're a history buff, and you noted in your “Signs and Wonders” column this week that last week was John Calvin's birthday. He was born on July 9, 1509. Warren He wrote the first draft of his book Institutes of the Christian Religion when he was 26 years old. Many people marvel that he wrote a book that helped change the course of history at such a young age. But he revised it regularly over the years, and the version we read today is a version he published at age 50. This work was significant in shaping Protestant theology and was initially published in Latin while he was in exile in Basel, Switzerland. Christina Warren, let's close today with a recent column by Aaron Renn about the Boy Scouts of America. Warren The Boy Scouts of America, one of the great institutions of civil society in the history of this country, is now a shell of its former self, and its prospects are not bright. For an up-to-date assessment of what is happening with what is now called Scouting America, I recommend Aaron Renn's recent column, which you can find here. A preview: “The Scouts have responded by doing basically what mainline Protestantism and any number of other institutions did. It evacuated its traditional religious core, adopted standard issue liberal positions du jour, and started allowing girls to join (in the way the mainlines allowed female clergy). This isn't likely to work out any better for them than it did for the mainline churches.” Christina Any closing thoughts before we go?

Jessa and Nico survey the World Cup discourse. Why and how do we love things that we know are corrupt? Why can't the United States stop itself from cheating every time it plays on an international level? Did the CIA send in Evangelical missionaries to convert everyone away from Catholicism to undermine the power of Brazilian football? And has globalized soccer created a monoculture, where all homegrown variety and innovation has been lost?  Shownotes and references: http://theculturewedeserve.substack.com

Are younger Christians becoming more "progressive" or "evangelical"? The new Lifeway-Ligonier study shares some surprising results. What is happening, and why?

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Deacon Mark Komula to share a conversion story like nothing you've ever heard before! Raised in the New Apostolic Church – a Christian sect (or cult) headed by a leader called the "Chief Apostle" – Mark was part of a dynamic and faithful family of devout "New Apostolics." His father, brother, and other extended family members were deeply involved in  church leadership so it was no surprise that Mark became involved too. But it was when Mark met a Catholic theology professor, began to look into the Early Church, and began to ask questions about Communion following some doctrinal changes in the New Apostolic Church, he realized that things he'd believed and taught faithfully all of his life didn't quite add up.This and so much more is part of Deacon Mark's conversion story this week on the show.

Beyond The Outer Realm welcomes Special return Guest , Author Leo Zagami Date: July 14th, 2026 EP: 744 DISCUSSION: Leo will be talking about his new book “ THE VATICAN'S TOP SECRET ALIEN AGENDA: Hidden Encounters, Forbidden Rituals, and Jesuit Astronomers in the Age of UFO Disclosure” where he breaks down the religious and occult implications of disclosure, will speak about forbidden knowledge, and rituals, the Marian sightings and much more. Put your seat belts on as we go down this very dark and complex rabbit hole. Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/michelledesrochers_ Please support The show by Liking, Subscribing, Sharing and Commenting. Thank you all !!! About Leo: Leo Lyon Zagami was born in Rome in March 1970. He is an internationally renowned investigative journalist and has authored of more than 20 books in several languages since 2009. Among them are two U.S. bestsellers from CCC Publishing, Pope Francis: The Last Pope? Money, Masons and Occultism in the Decline of the Catholic Church, and The Invisible Master: Secret Chiefs, Unknown Superiors, and the Puppet Masters Who Pull the Strings of Occult Power from the Alien World. In 2019, because of escalating political and religious persecution in Europe, Zagami relocated to Palm Springs, California, with his wife, Christy. In 2024, he became a naturalized American citizen and formally renounced his Italian citizenship in protest. Like all volumes from Confessions of an Illuminati 4 through 12—the series' powerful finale—this book was composed directly in English, not translated from Italian as the earlier books were. It marks the second installment in a bold new series of focused essays that began with The Rise and Fall of a Frankist Monster: Exposing Jeffrey Epstein and the Most Powerful Jewish Sect in the World which take a deeper, unflinching dive into the religious and sociopolitical themes first introduced in the Confessions series, ranging from secret societies, Freemasonry, cultish sectarian beliefs, to the Vatican's hidden role in world affairs and exopolitics. In this volume, Zagami confronts one of the most explosive subjects of our time: extraterrestrial intelligence and the Vatican. WEBSITE: www.leozagami,com About The Book: The Vatican's Top Secret Alien Agenda: Hidden Encounters, Forbidden Rituals, and Jesuit Astronomers in the Age of UFO Disclosure - With UAP disclosure becoming mainstream, Leo Zagami breaks down the religious and occult implications in The Vatican's Top Secret Alien Agenda. This work exposes the Vatican's hidden, long-term knowledge of extraterrestrial life, and, for the first time, reveals its secret UFO agenda, which has been managed by the Jesuits since the 1950s and threatens to reshape our deepest religious beliefs well beyond the boundaries of the Catholic Faith. With disclosure imminent, this book addresses the deep rift in Christian thought. The author navigates between the Jesuit-influenced Catholic view of extraterrestrials as marvelous creations and the Evangelical and Orthodox perspective that these beings are, in fact, demonic agents of a looming spiritual war. Discover the shocking truth behind groundbreaking events such as the 1933 Magenta UFO crash and other “secret files” buried in the Vatican Archives. With Pope Leo XIV returning to Castel Gandolfo—the legendary site of a 1961 extraterrestrial meeting that may have influenced the Second Vatican Council—the line between ancient tradition, Rosicrucian thought, and modern UAP disclosure is beginning to blur in one of the most consequential books for one of the most consequential times in history.

We are typically aware of our need for wisdom to navigate the complexities of life. But God’s wisdom rescues us from something far more important—sin and its lasting consequences. We should, therefore, diligently pursue wisdom.

Shawn, Cullan, Justin and Other Justin attempt to understand this parable from Matthew chapter 13 and argue some like usual.

Send us a messageIn Ephesians 6:10-13, we are given critical insight to the spiritual warfare we are up against – and how we can be certain to appropriate the Victory that has already been won in our Savior and Lord - Yeshua Hamashiach – Jesus the Messiah!It is written:“Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His Might. Put on the full armor of God that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the Devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything – to stand firm.”These demonic forces are malevolent – and they are purposed to “rob, kill, and destroy” as many as they can. And therefore, the people of God must remain alert and mindful of their tactics – staying protected by the Armor of God – and His unadulterated Word of Truth that heralds the Victory against the enemy that has already been won in the Finished Work of Lamb of God – in His Blood Atonement Sacrifice on Calvary's Cross – and sealed in Glorious Resurrection Power!Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Forgiveness doesn't change what happened, but it can change what keeps happening in you. It's one of the hardest things Jesus calls us to, yet one of the most freeing.

Rev. John Koopman, Associate Pastor at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Mankato, MN, joins the show to walk through C.F.W. Walther's essay "The Duties of an Evangelical Lutheran Synod," delivered at the first Iowa District convention. The essay was written against the backdrop of the split between Missouri and Iowa Synod Lutheranism — Iowa Synod pastors trained under Wilhelm Löhe who held that the confessions should be read "historically" rather than confessed without reservation, a trajectory that ended in the ELCA. Walther, by contrast, insisted that confessional subscription must be unconditional and total, since every part of Scripture — not just the articles touching salvation — serves the salvation of souls. Koopman and Paul Schultz work through Walther's six theses on what a synod is for: Faithfulness to the confessions in word and deed — testing pastors thoroughly, holding congregations accountable, and refusing fellowship with the unfaithful. Supporting pastors and teachers — counseling them, defending them against unjust treatment, and never abandoning a pastor for faithfully preaching hard truths, regardless of tact or rhetorical polish. Material on synod property and finances — Walther's warning against synods being distracted by money and institutional self-preservation. Promoting growth in the knowledge of truth — doctrine, not politics or mutual back-patting, must dominate synodical conventions. Striving for peace and unity in the truth — mutual submission and charity among brothers, without nitpicking over peripheral matters. Seeking God's glory, not the synod's own — Walther's striking line that the synod should prefer to go out of business rather than let the church suffer harm through its continued existence. Throughout, Koopman and Schultz draw direct lines to present controversies in the LCMS: pastoral formation and seminary training, the role of circuit visitors, tone policing of faithful but blunt preaching, and the Synod's entanglement with money and institutional concerns. Topics covered: Historical background: Löhe, the Iowa Synod, and the ELCA's descent from it Confessional subscription — quia vs. quatenus Walther's six theses on synodical duty The synod's obligation to defend faithful pastors under pressure Pastoral formation and testing candidates for the ministry Synod finances and institutional self-glorification Mutual submission and charity among brother pastors ----more---- Host: Fr.

On this special 4th of July "Space for God," Jeff Lindeman guides us through a time of intercession for our country. In a cultural moment when we are confronted by aggressive appeals to be either uncritically optimistic or pervasively pessimistic about America, Christians have a unique opportunity to inhabit a middle way—praying for the real good in our country to flourish while also confessing and repenting of our country's unique patterns of sin and brokenness. We hope you are blessed by this time!Jeff drew upon two resources for this devotional: "How to Pray for Our Country" (developed by Cru)The Book of Common PrayerView Our Complete Archive of “Space for God” Prayer PracticesExplore Our "Christian Discipleship & American Politics" CollectionLearn More About Spiritual Direction through Coracleinthecoracle.org  |  @inthecoracleSupport the showFor the Journey is a resource of the Coracle Center of Formation for Action and is made possible through the generous support of men and women across the globe.

“Why does it matter if Mary is sinless?” This question opens a discussion on the significance of Marian doctrines in Catholic faith. The conversation also touches on early church beliefs regarding Mary’s perpetual virginity, responses to biblical passages that challenge her sinlessness, and how to cultivate a personal relationship with Mary and the saints. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:05 – Why does it matter for a catholic to believe Mary is sinless 13:05 – Did the early church believe in the perpetual virginity of Mary or is that a doctrine that developed over time. 17:07 – My Protestant friend cites Luke 2:48 (where Mary asks Jesus how he could do that to them at the finding in the Temple) to show she is not sinless. 23:40 – How can I have a more personal relationship with Mary, or other saints? Is that even possible in the same way it is with Jesus? 32:55 – My evangelical friends object to papal statements that say people who deny certain Marian doctrines are outside the faith. They say this is adding additional criteria for salvation. How do I respond? 42:50 – In John 20 Christ tells Mary Magdalen not to touch him because he hasn't risen to his Father yet. But later he tells Thomas to touch him. Why the different answers? 46:30 – I'm about to start OCIA. I want to lean more into a relationship with Mary. But I grew up in an Evangelical background, and it feels strange. I keep on thinking about how I need to make sure I've giving more reverence to Jesus. 52:38 – How is it that Jesus and Mary could experience the effects of original sin when they didn't have original sin?
