We have one enemy, and that enemy disguises himself as an “angel of light.” Today, crowd-favorite Fr John Riccardo shares how to recognize and reject the devil's lies in order to live out our identity and calling as sons and daughters of God. He shares the “one play” that Satan uses (and runs over and over and over), how to discern God's will, and how to rebuke the lies in our lives.

What happens when ministry becomes driven more by pressure, exhaustion, and self-reliance than prayerful discernment? In this deeply practical and spiritually grounded conversation, Fr. John Riccardo joins Ron Huntley to explore surrender, leadership, discernment, and why renewal begins when leaders stop trying to control the story and “give Jesus back the pen.” If you're longing for healthier leadership, clearer discernment, and a renewed vision for mission in the Church, this episode is for you.
Why do some people, like Joan of Arc, hear God's voice so clearly? Can we, and should we, hope to hear that in our lives? Fr John Riccardo's answer is clear: yes. Through his ministry with Acts XXIX, he shares a 4-step approach that individuals, couples, and teams can do to hear God's plan for the adventure of your life.

Do you find it hard to maintain enthusiasm for evangelization? You're not alone. Many of us in ministry face moments of profound fatigue and discouragement. But let me share something with you: the key to reigniting that passion lies in rediscovering the love and hope gifted by God which first called us to this mission. Today, I bring you the wisdom of Fr. John Riccardo, founder of Acts XXIX (https://www.actsxxix.org/) and The Rescue Project (https://rescueproject.us/). He discusses how to: * Create intimate environments where the gospel can come alive. * Turn prayer into more than an agenda item, listening for God's direction. * Build a family out of those on mission with you * Restore hope, unity, and zeal to tired laborers in the vineyard Yes, the challenges are real, but so is the power of God's plan. Lean into that, and you'll find your enthusiasm renewed and your mission reinvigorated.

Do you ever feel imprisoned by sin? Throughout the Old Testament, the Israelites underwent captivity on multiple occasions, enduring a 70-year exile. In an insightful conversation, Fr. John Riccardo joins Jeff Cavins to delve into this period of Exile as depicted in the Bible Timeline. Beyond merely exploring historical events, they draw parallels to contemporary experiences of feeling imprisoned or alienated. Fr. Riccardo argues that individuals today face something even more insidious than exile—being held captive by the power of sin. Fr. Riccardo and Jeff dissect the root causes underlying this spiritual captivity and offer pathways toward liberation from sin's grasp.

(0:55) Fr. Craig Giera and Fr. David Pellican introduce guest Fr. John Riccardo, the executive director of Acts XXIX, to share his vocation story and the many twists and turns he experienced along his path to the priesthood. Fr. John shares about a homily from a brother priest on a difficult moral issue which deeply affected him. (8:00) Fr. John discusses with Fr. Craig and Fr. David the inherent desire for greatness and pursuing a life of meaning by rising up to the challenge. They discuss how, ultimately, the call to greatness is the call to love God and your neighbor. (12:00) Fr. John takes listeners through his vocation story, reflecting on hearing the Lord clearly speak to him to call him to the priesthood, from where he began his journey at Sacred Heart Major Seminary which solidified his call to his vocation. (20:00) In reflecting on their various struggles encountered during their journeys in the priesthood, Fr. John discusses with Fr. Craig and Fr. David the ways in which grace has upheld them, and God has provided everything they needed even in the most difficult moments. (30:00) Fr. John observes how many of the qualities needed to be a good husband and a good father in a marriage are equally needed and used in the priesthood, and how the level at which you are able to give of yourself and share these gifts is only amplified through a vocation to the priesthood. (39:00) Fr. John reflects on his time at Sacred Heart, living and studying theology in Rome, the struggles he experienced being away from home, and the transformative experience he had with the Lord while there, deepening in his faith. (44:00) Fr. John, Fr. Craig, and Fr. David talk about the importance of discernment for any man who thinks he may be called to the priesthood. They illustrate examples of how, through giving God an opportunity to help with discernment, you reach a place of peace. (48:10) Fr. John shares how his father inspired him by offering his blessing on pursuing his vocational call. He mentions that this blessing gave him permission to discern the Lord's plan for his life. (55:05) Fr. John offers his perspective on preaching as an act of listening to what God wants to say and encourages listeners to not be afraid to risk everything for Him. (58:08) Fr. John leads closing prayer with Fr. Craig and Fr. David.
