Why did Jesus stay behind in the Temple? - Fr. Lucas Laborde. Click here for today's readings.Can you think of events that have been like reminders from God of what's important in your life? What is the ground of your obedience? Is it social convention? Is it doing what is less risky? Is it faith in God? What do you take away from Mary's response to what Christ did?
Some church leaders in Burkina Faso expressed their dissatisfaction with current president, Captain Traore' charging he was an "unbeliever" meaning a non-Christian, although he has a deep faith in God as a Muslim. They cited, incorrectly, 2 Corinthians 6:14-16 as the proof text for their objection. In this episode we demonstrate how the text was misused and give examples of how the people of God were historically servants and subject to rulers who did not share their views.

He will also remind you that, when you're afraid about what to say, God will give you the words.

Contrition is love! To many this will seem to be an absurdity, but when we look not only to the writings of the fathers, but to the life of Christ himself something far more beautiful begins to emerge. Contrition, in order for it to be genuine and not to lead to despair, must be tied to a depth of love that does not allow for any other response from the heart than to weep. One of the perfect examples came tonight through the teaching of Abba Poimen. “On one occasion, as he was returning to Egypt, Abba Poimen saw a woman sitting on a tomb and weeping bitterly. He said to himself: ‘If all of the delights of the world were assembled in front of her, they could not comfort her soul, because she is mourning. So, also, should the monk always have contrition in his soul'”. This woman lost her beloved and no one and no thing in this world could prevent her from mourning his loss. For example, when a couple has been married for many years and, as Christ tells us, the two become one, the loss of this love is like the dying of part of oneself. The depth of the love is mirrored by the intensity of the experience of the loss. Similarly, a soul who not only understands that Christ is her Beloved, but has experienced it in the depths of her heart, and lives it on a daily basis, is going to experience the loss or betrayal of this love as something that pierces the heart. Contrary to public opinion, love is not blind. In fact, just the opposite. Love, the more that the heart has been purified and freed of selfishness and pride, is going to see things with a perfect clarity such that the individual participates in the experience of the Other. The great example of this is Mary, the Mother of our Lord. It is prophesied by Simeon that her child was destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel and that a sort of sorrow would pierce through her heart as well. Mary was not an outside observer but through her humility and love participated radically in the ministry and suffering of her son. The death of the beloved, of Love, could not help but pierce her heart, transfixing it to her son's. Such should be our experience of contrition. The deeper our love for the Lord becomes the more we see of our poverty and of His immeasurable compassion, the more our hearts are pierced with sorrow when we turn away from Him. In this sense, nothing is small or inconsequential. We see how our hearts can betray us and betray Christ. This is part of the reality of allowing ourselves to be drawn into the mystery of the Cross; not only to allow ourselves to be stretched out in love for others, but to experience how our own betrayal and neglect adds to the poverty of a world darkened by sin. Weep we must because love demands it. This we must understand literally as we see Christ himself weep at the tomb of his friend Lazarus and how shaken he is when he sees the multitude that are like sheep without a shepherd, abandoned, wounded and beyond recognition. May God have mercy on us, and may our faith be such that we allow love to pierce our hearts as Christ allowed it to pierce His own. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:13:36 Bob Čihák, AZ: P. 261, # 4 00:29:59 Maureen Cunningham: Page ? 00:34:07 Myles Davidson: Replying to "Page ?" 252 #6 00:36:02 Anthony: In reading Archbishop Raya, The Face of God. He says in Byzantine Rite, forgiveness comes in giving praise to God, in a different way than Sacramental Confession. 00:49:59 Anthony: If it's not tied to faith in God, such superattentiveness will drive you batty trying to sort what thoughts are actually yours, how culpable you are, multiplying thought on thought. Faith has to cut it off and say No more! 00:53:38 Rebecca Thérèse: It seems that the boy chose to be hit with the bowling ball. If you warned him several times, it was selfish of him to obstruct you when it was your turn. He probably never thinks of this event at all. 00:56:09 Kate : Is there a certain fear of contrition in the sense that if we really saw the truth about our sins we wouldn't be able to bear it? 01:00:15 Anthony: St Gregory of Narek, Lamentations, is the best book I've found to balance grief and hope.

Paul illustrates this with the example of Abraham, who was justified by faith before both circumcision and the Law of Moses. God's promises have always flourished among those who believe in Him and obey Him out of trust in His power. This message was true for Abraham and remains true for all who believe, whether Jew or Gentile. Abraham's faith in God's promise of a son, despite his old age and Sarah's barrenness, was credited to him as righteousness. Paul connects this to believers in Christ, explaining that righteousness is similarly credited to those who trust in God, the One who raised Jesus from the dead for our justification. “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” If we follow in the footsteps of Father Abraham, we too are justified and blessed by our heavenly Father. Unlike other New Testament chapters concerning Abraham, this passage says little about acts of obedience. The emphasis is on trust. When God spoke, Abraham believed Him. In “hope against hope,” he trusted in God's promises. As a result, Abraham glorified God with his life, showing immediate and complete obedience. While this text was written to demonstrate that salvation comes through Christ and not through the Law of Moses, the message remains powerful for us: we are justified by faith in the resurrection of Jesus, not by perfect law keeping. God of enduring promises, we praise You for Your kindness and love. Thank You for the promises of justification and eternal life through Jesus Christ. We believe in His life, His resurrection, and His kingship in heaven. Father, help us strengthen our faith in the days ahead. Lead us to urgent faith like Abraham, trusting in Your promises and Your power, even in “hope against hope.” We are not righteous on our own; however, by Your grace, we are saved as we trust You and strive to follow Your will. We rejoice in being justified as righteous through Your beloved Son. Thought Questions: - What does it mean to say that “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness”? Do you trust God as Abraham did? - If we are justified apart from the works of the law, does that mean there are no laws for us to follow in Christ? Why must we still obey His law? - When have you had to trust in God “in hope against hope”? What have been the outcomes when you have held strong in belief?

Faith like a child- What does real faith look like? Many people who claim to have genuine faith in God only have religion. Because of our human nature we strive to be accepted by God based on our performance, but what we need is childlike faith.

Evil Angels (or Fallen Angels) influence our lives and the world around us. They wage an unseen war with the Holy Angels of God in the unseen realm. The evil angels oppose the will and plan of God, while the Holy Angles fight to carry out His will and minister to us. But we are not just bystanders in this conflict. Our prayers and obedience empower the Holy Angels, while our pride, false worship, and indifference can shift the battle in the favor of the evil angels. We'll discuss these topics (along with discovering the TRUE identity of the entity worshiped by Islamics as “Allah”) in this week's podcast.For exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason
Are you feeling heartsick as you wait for God to come through in your life? As Pastor Jay launches the two-part sermon series "Hope in the Waiting," he invites us to rethink our expectations while we anticipate God's intervention. Using the powerful words of Isaiah 40:31, he reminds us that while we detest waiting, it's during these times of anticipation that our faith can be renewed. Through a deep dive into Ephesians 3:14-19, Pastor Jay articulates a poignant truth: true hope isn't just a feeling—it's rooted in knowing who we seek. Hope, defined as "expectation," calls us to place our faith in God, who is trustworthy and consistent in His love for us, even when our circumstances seem bleak. As Pastor Jay shares a personal testimony about grappling with faith amidst uncertainty, he emphasizes that our focus should be not on what we desire but on being strengthened, rooted, and grounded in love. This message speaks volumes to anyone facing delays or disappointment, encouraging them to lift their eyes from worldly measures and grow in spiritual depth. Join us in exploring how we can find true hope in our waiting—watch or listen to this inspired message now!
What step of obedience is God prompting you to take by faith today? It is easy to understand life through what we can see with our physical eyes. However, we see examples from Moses for how to see by faith in God's wisdom and understand which is far greater than our understanding. Pastor Joel draws out four challenges from Moses' journey with the Israelites, to help us see our world through the eyes of faith. Consider how your perception changes as you engage each challenge!

It's important that followers of Jesus work hard in all that they do. However, God is going to bring things to fruition that which He will. As we work hard in all that we do, we ultimately exercise faith in God to accomplish the things He wants to accomplish in and through us.
In today's sermon, Pastor Madison talks about we often try to have a transactional faith in God rather than a relational one. Listen in as she describes the difference between the to and which one we should be focusing on.
In today’s Perspectives Pastors Podcast, Rev. Trudy and Rev. Brittany kick off a new multi-episode discussion that looks closely at our faith, asking “what good is it?” – connecting truths and experiences from Biblical times to the high running emotions, anxiety, and suspicion that many are feeling today. Up first, the female pastors look at faith through the lens of fear by turning to Matthew 10:23-27, a passage where Jesus sends off his disciples to spread his teachings, warning them that they will be met with hostility and resistance but all they need to take with them is their faith in God. It’s a bold call that is hard for us to embrace and understand. But, as the reverends discuss, it’s necessary today if we are going to live out God’s command to carry out justice. Through their Bible study and discussion, they debate whether the disciples were more courageous than we are today, explain the concept of holy courage, address the fears that we face today, and ultimately ask: How do we act when life gets tough? You can keep the conversation going by joining our weekly in-person Convergence discussion group or heading over to our Patreon channel to discuss the following questions with others: Does fear motivate you to retreat or to take action? Does faith motivate you to overcome your fear? How and Why? Has following Jesus caused a sword to sever some relationships? What emotion is evoked when you hear “take up the cross”?

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Fear is not hard Happiness is kind of hard (the fear of the unkown… when will it end) But what is really fearful is not knowing at all - the not knowing is what gets you. My hardest test was not cancer… it was the waiting on the tests to see a. If I had cancer and then b. If had spread, and c. Is it stage I. II. III or IV. The mind, however finds it much harder to accept uncertainty. I have no problem fearing what I know… get into a cage to fight or under a huge amount of weight… I know what is coming. But to get into a cage to fight and I don't know who it is… or getting under a bar and I don't know how much weight there is… that seems unfair. The mind fears change loss and death, but not when it knows it is certain - it is when it is uncertain that drives you crazy. This resistance, the body translates into stress. By imposing mental resistance, you create a threat your body had to cope with. Deepak Chopra explained it this way… Some people riding a roller coaster are screaming from excitement, others from terror. The ride is the same but the ones who hold back and tense their bodies, generating a flood of stress hormones, experience terror. The ones who let go and allow themselves to be carried by the ride experience exhilaration. Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, Deepak Chopra p. 174 All through out the Bible we see people who were tested and had trials and even life and death moments… Stephen was the first martyr and died literally with a smile on his face. Saul died in agony Paul looked forward to death Judas hung himself Peter asked to die upside down because he was not worthy to die the way his Messiah did Samson chose his death Look there are dozens of examples… the difference was some had complete faith in God and were able to let go and enjoy the ride. Others did not have that confidence in who God was. We speak a lot about how much faith a person has and how to use it… healing, giving, speaking out etc… but I believe the real mark of faith is your day to day reactions or response to what happens to you. If your faith and trust in God is great… the unknown is just the unknown… but if you lack that trust then the unknown is a daily minefield and battle. So today choose to know God for who he is and not for insight into what is coming your way… trust me.. the not knowing can be extremely exciting when you know the one who dose in fact know. When your knower knows its all good.
Daily Prayer DevotionIn this episode, Pastor Derrick Crosby delivers a devotional message focused on reassurance and faith in God's deliverance during times of trial and suffering.

Today's devotion in prayer is centered on this topic that everything in your life is going to be okay. How can I say that confidently? Because the Word of God declares this in second Corinthians chapter one, verse ten. We've been discussing how to get through trials, how to overcome trials and suffering. And in our first lesson, we went over that God permit trials and suffering in your life. That simply means that God allowed these things to happen. Now why would God allow them to happen? The Bible says so that you can comfort others. God will comfort you in the midst of trials so that you may know how to comfort others. And in our last episode, we talked about that God not only permit trials to happen in your life, but he also empowers us to bear trials. God will bring us to the end of ourselves so that we can bear trials..............
Even God loving, God fearing, humble and kind Christian men, can face brutal battles of anxiety and depression. The bible reveals many stories of men who faced these terrible feelings and battled through by faith in God. I also share my story on today's episode. I hope you are encouraged!

In today's episode, I had the pleasure of exploring this mission with Dr. Canaan Van Williams, the Fund Manager of ProActive Real Estate Group. His work focuses on Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAA), helping underserved communities secure quality, affordable homes while delivering returns for investors.Dr. Canaan shared his passion for affordable housing through his latest project, Rancho Affordable Living, in Las Vegas. This 23-unit development provides low-income housing at 20–30% below market rates. It prioritizes second-chance housing for people previously evicted, unhoused, or escaping domestic violence. He explained, “Second chance housing is such a huge part of the low-income affordable housing sector. We tend to serve people who are anywhere from 50 to 30 percent AMI or below.”What makes this effort even more compelling is its focus on impact and speed. By revitalizing existing properties, ProActive Real Estate Group avoids the delays associated with subsidies, enabling quicker housing solutions. According to Canaan, “We're able to achieve above market-rate returns because we pass on the cost savings benefits of revitalizing what's existing.”For those who want to get involved, there's exciting news: ProActive Real Estate Group has a live Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) campaign now. This democratizes investment opportunities, allowing non-accredited investors to support affordable housing while earning current income.Canaan brings a unique perspective to this work, drawing from his upbringing in Oakland, California, where his family benefited from affordable housing programs. This personal connection fuels his commitment to creating sustainable communities. “We do everything we can to help our residents,” he shared.Affordable housing projects like Rancho Affordable Living exemplify how mission-driven investments can combine social impact with financial returns. By investing in efforts like this, we can celebrate milestones like Juneteenth not just in words, but in action.tl;dr:Dr. Canaan Van Williams pioneers affordable housing projects like Rancho Affordable Living, offering below-market rents.His work prioritizes second-chance housing, helping underserved people rebuild their lives with dignity.ProActive Real Estate Group's Reg CF campaign allows everyone to invest in impactful housing solutions.Dr. Canaan's faith in God and humanity drives his compassionate approach to building sustainable communities.His advocacy for housing stability showcases the power of love, empathy, and mission-driven leadership.How to Develop Faith and Empathy As a SuperpowerDr. Canaan's superpower is rooted in his faith in God and humanity, coupled with a deep empathy for others. He said, “Our superpower is love. We really practice and demonstrate empathy as much as we possibly can.” This perspective drives his work, enabling him to create housing solutions that prioritize dignity and community for underserved populations. Dr. Canaan's faith inspires him to focus on impact first, trusting that everything else will follow.A compelling example of Dr. Canaan's superpower in action comes from a story about two single mothers in Las Vegas. Both women, homeless and struggling with expired Section 8 vouchers, reached out to him for help. Despite bureaucratic resistance, Canaan advocated on their behalf, convincing the housing office to reinstate their vouchers. His determination and empathy changed their lives, providing them with stable homes for their families.Tips for Developing Faith and Empathy as Strengths:Practice Compassion Daily: Look for opportunities to help others, even in small ways.Advocate Relentlessly: Stand firm for those in need, even when facing resistance.Stay Mission-Focused: Let your values guide your actions, especially in challenging situations.Draw Strength from Faith: Lean into your beliefs to sustain your commitment to doing good.By following Dr. Canaan's example and advice, you can make faith and empathy a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

In this uplifting Morning Prayer titled "Faith Surpassing Our Present Circumstances," we dive into the powerful story of Rahab from Joshua 2:1-13. Surrounded by fear, danger, and uncertainty, Rahab chose to believe in the God of Israel. Her courageous faith opened the door to salvation—not just for herself, but for her entire family.This message is a reminder that no matter how overwhelming your current situation may seem, faith in God can lift you above your circumstances. When everything around you says it's over, God says it's just the beginning.
✨ In this raw and powerful episode of The 30 Days to Happiness Podcast, I dive into a truth many people don't want to hear:Your small faith is the reason you're not seeing big results.If you've been holding back… second-guessing yourself… waiting for “clarity” before you take that next step — this episode is your wake-up call.I share the three stories that shook me:Peter walking on water… until fear made him sinkSara Blakely, who had no proof her crazy idea would work — but bet on herself anywayMartin Luther King Jr., who led a movement with nothing but a vision and unwavering faithAnd then, I share my own story — how my faith in God has guided me through pain, doubt, and uncertainty, and why I now refuse to play small.
In the final episode of the series on heaven, Greg and Cory explore the eschaton—the ultimate end of God's plan, where Christ returns to renew creation as the New Heaven and New Earth. They unpack the biblical parallelism between Genesis 1-2 and Revelation 21-22, where God restores communion between Himself, humanity, and creation, fulfilling our deepest longings for belonging. Drawing from Scripture, the Catechism, and saints like Irenaeus and Teresa of Avila, they emphasize that our destiny isn't a disembodied heaven but a redeemed creation where we live bodily with God forever. The sacraments, especially the Eucharist, offer a foretaste of this reality, making Catholicism's physicality a compelling draw. Greg also references a prior standalone episode, Will We See Our Dogs in Heaven? (#319), for those curious about pets in the afterlife. Join them for a profound, hopeful vision of eternity that transcends clichés and anchors our faith in God's redemptive love. Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!

I'm having an on-air counseling session with Jinger Duggar, a member of the reality TV show family, the Duggars, whose show chronicled the everyday life of this conservative family of 19 children. She talks about growing up in a strict religious upbringing, how it impacted her life, her faith in God, and her people-pleasing tendencies. We talk about the extent of people pleasing she struggled with, and the combination of nature/nurture that shaped her life…and what it has looked like to begin to “undo” that process in this season of her life. It's a powerful conversation and one you don't want to miss. You can also watch the full episode on YouTube.
