Podcasts about godparents

We're back with Part 2 of our spicy Q&A, and wow… this one takes us everywhere—from influencer culture to church hurt to godparents and discipleship. We get real about the tension of social media and faith, the beauty (and struggle) of staying rooted in a local church, and what it actually looks like to walk alongside someone who's new to following Jesus. We also share some of our personal stories—like navigating seasons of apathy, finding the right church home, and even the deeper conversations around raising kids and choosing godparents. This episode is honest, a little funny, and full of heart. Our prayer is that it reminds you that following Jesus isn't about having all the answers—it's about staying connected, staying humble, and staying in community.

Turning Down Being a Godparent by Maine's Coast 93.1

Turning Down Being a Godparent, Breaking Up Before Valentines Day and The Ultimate Maine Sentence- Full Show 01-28-26 by Maine's Coast 93.1

This episode is the video replay of a previously recorded livestream examining the difference between a Babaláwo and a Godparent in Ifá, presented by Dr. Asanee Brogan. The discussion clarifies how authority, responsibility, and obligation function at different stages of engagement within the tradition.The episode defines the Babaláwo's role as service-based through Ifá divination, ritual work, and ceremonial oversight, and contrasts it with the Godparent relationship, which begins only through formal initiation and carries long-term lineage responsibility. It also addresses boundaries, financial expectations, ethical conduct, and Ori's support for discernment when choosing elders.

Now that Lily and Marshall have a Nanny, they leave the house to enjoy the city just to realize it's a crazy deathtrap. To figure out which of their friends should be godparent to little Marvin (lets face it, it should just be Ted), they host a gameshow to find the best fit.

January 11, 2026: May God's words be spoken, may God's words be heard. Amen. Now, if you have been here these past few weeks of Christmastide and the Feast of the Epiphany, you would be right thinking that Jesus sure grows up fast, I mean we just celebrated his birth, then last week he's a kid being visited by Magi, and now he's a grown man! I mean, at this rate, a week from now should be Palm Sunday, right? Wrong. Well, sort of – Ash Wednesday is coming up in just a few weeks, so buckle up. Still, you couldn't be blamed for feeling a bit of lectionary whiplash right about now. Kinda the way you feel the day after Christmas when there's stuff in the stores for Valentine's Day, which I do NOT appreciate given that happens to be my birthday, and there is no need to rush it. But, back to the texts we heard today from the Gospel of Matthew and from Isaiah. In the gospel we here the story of Jesus' baptism. Left off of what we heard today, is what Jesus does just afterward. He is led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit where he encounters evil. And in the wake of all that has happened in our nation this past year, and most recently, this past week, it would seem a message we very much need today. I will speak more about that in a minute, but it is important to first underscore what we are hearing in today's texts – about Christ's baptism, yes, but also about our own. Our collect today, the prayer we offered at the beginning of this service, was this: “Grant that all who are baptized into his Name may keep the covenant they have made…” This isn't just a dunk in some water – this is a contract with God – a covenant we make in the name of Christ, and that is sealed by the Holy Spirit. And in our passage this morning from Isaiah, we hear some of what that covenant requires of us. About the prophet, God says “I have given you as a covenant to the people, a light to the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.” Now, think about that…and then hear again the vows we all make at baptism either for ourselves, or was made by our parents, and Godparents, and we later confirmed. We promise to “seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbor as ourselves, and striving for justice and peace among all peoples, respecting the dignity of every human being.” See, the thing is…when we are baptized, we are baptized into something…or really baptized into someone. It is an identity that comes with a calling – the calling to free the captives, fight for justice and peace, and to love and serve. We are baptized into a life of Christ – because we are the body of Christ alive in the world today. And as the body of Christ, we don't just leave the waters of baptism, grab a towel, and continue as though nothing happened. We do as he did after his baptism – we live the life we are called to live – a life of ministry in a broken world – a life of wilderness moments when we are challenged, and pushed to the brink. And Lordy, we are in the wilderness now. This past week our government continued its horrific, unconstitutional, racist, and cruel violence against the people of our nation. Renee Nicole Good, a US citizen and young mother of three, was gunned down while in her car by an ICE agent in Minneapolis this past Wednesday. Her wife, Becca Good, is left to care for their 6 year old son. The video of the attack is brutal to watch, and the lies about her and the incident by our government just add to the horror. Renee is not the first to be killed, or tortured, or imprisoned unlawfully. She sadly will not be the last. In fact, on Thursday, the very next night, two more people were shot by ICE agents in their vehicle in Portland. These are very dark days for our nation and for the world. Like many of you, I have been at more than one vigil in response – one of them just down the street from my home on the Newton Green– which is in the middle of a very red part of our Garden State. Like the other vigils, it was a community gathered in love amidst tragedy and hate. Sadly, even as we stood together, someone shouted out from a passing truck “ICE, ICE, Baby!” The cruelty of our President and his followers seems to be the point. Yet we were not deterred, and continued to stand together to be a witness to the horror that has taken yet another life. One of the things I have said at these vigils is that our faith is one that follows a man who preached love and peace, and was executed by the government because of it. Yet his resurrection taught us all that light will always overcome darkness, life is stronger than death, and love will always defeat hate. It is the only thing that can. Renee Good understood that truth. Her wife, Becca Good, said in a statement after her murder, said: “I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way.” Indeed we do. We must. Because love is the only way out of this long national nightmare. We must stand as a testament to the power of love – to heal, to restore, to change the world – because that is what we committed to in our own baptism. So, we will keep on fighting for the suffering Christ in our midst, never forgetting Renee and all the other victims. That is how we will change the world – one step, one vigil, one march, one act of kindness, one moment of courage at a time. But that does not mean the road will be easy for us. It certainly wasn't for Jesus. He had his time in the wilderness, and we are now deep within it too. Today, we are faced with a seemingly never-ending onslaught of cruelty by those who should be servants of the people. We are worn to the bone by the vitriolic hate our President, his team, and his supporters spew nearly hour by hour, all amid a daily avalanche of lies and purposeful misdirection by the ones we are supposed to trust. The purpose is to knock us off center and keep us so disoriented that we feel helpless, hopeless, and filled with rage. Why would they want this? It's simple really – it is so we respond with the same in kind. For evil knows that darkness will feed darkness, hate will fuel hate, violence will breed violence. They fan the flames to incite those who oppose them to be just like them, which will give them fodder to increase the violence in a never-ending cycle. And in moments like this, it is very tempting to give into it. Why not fight fire with fire – violence with violence, hate with hate. We feel so drawn to it, do we not, if we are honest with ourselves? But the thing is, we need to consider who tries to draw us to hate and violence. Remember what happened to Jesus in the wilderness – the evil one spoke to him – catching him when he was worn from his long journey in that place – and showing him a path forward that seemed so simple. If Jesus would only turn aside from God, everything would be great – he would be great – the evil one said. You could understand the temptation. I mean – he was promised he could turn stone into bread – that would solve all the hunger in the world. He could be made king over everyone – imagine today if you could take the power away from all the world's brutal dictators, including our own? Yet Jesus knew that isn't the path toward peace, toward wholeness, toward grace. It wasn't for him, and it most certainly isn't for us. To be clear – righteous anger at injustice is good and will propel us to act like Christ, and overturn tables of oppression. But anger rooted in hate will only lead to violence and a turning away from Christ – that can never be our way forward. No, not for those who are baptized into him. We are meant to choose another way. At that vigil the other night in Newton, the organizer wanted to close with the hymn Amazing Grace, but wasn't sure of the words. So, I stood beside her and helped lead everyone in singing those lyrics of redemption. One of those verses is: Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; 'tis grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. Grace is God's gift to us, and it, not hate, will always lead us through the wilderness and to home – where we will be grounded in the knowledge and love of Christ, and renewed to live as we are called to live in our baptismal covenant. And folks – that will change the world. It really will. God's grace is how we will get through this. Love is how we will change it. After I spoke at the vigil in Newton, a young mother of two boys – a teen of about 14 years old or so, and the other about 10 – came up to me. The teen apparently had told his mom after listening to me that he wanted to go to church, and she – a person who had been harmed by her own church experience – wanted to know where I was a priest, feeling that it would be inclusive. Since our parish is so far from where this was, I told them of another one they should try. That conversation filled me with hope – to see young people yearning for a relationship with God. And it is certainly something seen a lot these days as church attendance by all ages is on the rise. I believe that this is a sign of the future of the church, as people seek a way forward, and they witness us living out our lives in Christ. Because so many people today are yearning for an alternative to the madness they are witnessing. In a world filled with conflict, violence, hate, war, poverty, and abuse of the environment – seekers hope to be connected to something they sense is larger than all of that – stronger than all of that – to a God that loves unconditionally, and a faith community that reflects that love openly, consistently, and with intention. They are looking for comfort and peace, yes, but most especially, they want to know that God loves them in a place that welcomes everyone, amid a world that wants to exclude them. That is why what we do here is so important. It feeds us in a time of deep hunger, but it also is food for the world. Here is where we are given the strength for our wilderness journey. Here we offer that food of life to others. Here we are reminded of our baptismal contract with God – a life of prophetic witness, rooted in the love of Christ, that calls us to speak truth, to act for justice, to stand for peace, to offer hope and love to a people in darkness. We have made a commitment to God to be the ones to speak up against those who traffic in hate and violence. To be the ones to stand against those who seek to oppress and marginalize. To be the ones to respond to hate with love and lies with truth. And especially to be the ones to counter the racist, homophobic, and sexist, words and actions by earthly rulers and proclaim in the streets, in the halls of government, in our churches, and everywhere in the world that God loves EVERYONE– NO EXCEPTIONS – and so will we. For like the prophet in Isaiah, and like our savior in whose name we are baptized, we too were given “as a covenant to the people, a light to the nations, to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.” There are many in prisons now – dungeons of bigotry and oppression, poverty, hopelessness, loneliness, and addiction. This is not time to throw the covers over our head and attend the church of the Holy Comforter. This is not a time to tune out. This is not a time to not pay attention. This is not a time to forget who we are, and whose we are. This is the time for us to be who we were born and baptized to be – prophets of his light, grace, and love – God's beloved agents of transformation. And there is nothing – no President or other leader, no ICE agent or army, no person or organization, that can stop what we, together, and by God's grace, will bring about – the overturning of evil, and the restoration of the world. They may have killed Renee Good, but by the good in each of us, rooted in the love of Christ – we will prevail. Amen.

Send us a textNic and Darryl tackle one of parenting's most uncomfortable challenges: talking to children about where babies come from and addressing questions about sex from a biblical perspective.• Parents must choose between teaching their children about sex or letting the world teach them• Age-appropriate conversations are essential when addressing children's curiosity• Christian parents should emphasize both scientific facts and God's divine design• The spiritual component of sex is often overlooked but critically important• Daughters and sons may require different approaches to these conversations• Marriage provides the proper context for sexual intimacy as God intended• Parents should create an environment where children feel comfortable asking questions• There's power in purity despite cultural messaging that normalizes promiscuity• The perfect unity of love in marriage reflects the triune nature of God• Parents must reclaim these conversations before outside influences shape their children's understandingRemember to speak to your children about these topics yourself - don't let another source outside your household explain and answer these questions for them.

Fr. William Rock, FSSP serves as Parochial Vicar at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Nashua, New Hampshire. He was ordained in October of 2019 and serves as a regular contributor to the FSSP North America Missive Blog. In Today's Show: When looking back on the pandemic, do you think the Church would now do things differently in hindsight? Is it a sin not wanting to receive the Holy Eucharist in a Novus Ordo mass, but instead in a Latin Mass (SSPX)? In 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12, St. Paul describes the deceptions of the antichrist, and how all those who fall for the deception of the antichrist will be condemned by God. If the antichrist appears during our lifetime, how should a good Catholic recognize and resist the deception of the Antichrist, and so avoid God's condemnation? I'm having a hard time encouraging my daughter, age 8, to follow along in her missal at Mass. She has a STRONG choleric temperament and I don't want to turn her off to the faith. Any advice? How to make restitution as an adult convert Can you please speak a little about the Supreme Court Decision today that upheld the Tennessee law prohibiting gender affirming treatment on children? Is it permissible for a nun to incense the tabernacle in their monastic chapel? Is it permissible for Catholics to call a funeral a "celebration of life"? If my child's godparents are not active in the church anymore, can I ask a new couple to take over? Should we hold back tears when anxious about the future? Would giving in to the desire to weep be a sin or an expression of distrust in God's providence?   If you enjoy Ask A Priest Live and the other great Catholic programs from The Station of the Cross, please consider making a donation of any size to support our apostolate!

Patrick discusses insights about faith, focusing on miraculous events in Acts chapter 8 and addressing questions on Catholic practices like choosing sponsors at Confirmation. He shares a compelling story of angels assisting St. Isidore and highlights the importance of standing firm in one's faith at work. Plus, Patrick emphasizes how Relevant Radio serves as a unifying resource for Catholics. Isidore (email) - What does Luke mean when he says the spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. Did Philip just disappear into thin air? (0:54) Zach (email) – Confirmation and sponsor question (9:24) Sheila (email) – Why did Adam and Eve sin? (13:26) Audio: Sen. Marco Rubio responds to a question about revoking Visas. (25:00) Mary - I have been asked to leave the Adoration Chapel because the space is needed for a meeting. (28:20) LtCol Dan (email) - If I have my niece be the Godmother, and my brother be a witness, it’s not ideal but I believe I’m still following the Church's guidelines on Godparents. If he comes back to the Catholic Church, does he then become the Godfather retroactively? As a witness, does he make the same verbal commitment that a Godparent makes? (37:08) Bob (email) - If Angels are pure spirit with no bodies, how are they doing hard manual labor on farms and plowing fields? (43:23) Jackie (email) - Coworkers mock my faith and I’m not sure how to handle it (45:00) Encore from 3/13/25

There's a huge coincidence in this week's NGOG, but you have to get 50+ minutes in to hear it. GOOD LUCK!

Patrick fields heartfelt calls from listeners grappling with spiritual dryness, complex Church teachings on godparents and interfaith participation, and questions around eligibility when awaiting an annulment. He offers reassurance for those struggling with loss, explains the significance of Church rules, addresses concerns about topics like the number of the beast and LGBTQ participants at a youth ministry, and draws on the wisdom of the saints to encourage listeners on their spiritual journey. Patrick creates a space where faith meets everyday challenges, offering supportive advice and clarity for those seeking to live out their Catholic beliefs. Mary Jo – I’ve lived with pain for eight years. I don't feel God the way I used to. This upsets me. What can I do? (01:57) Dennis - I don’t like your take on Catholics not participating in Protestant churches. Religion is Religion. (08:33) Fiona (email) - I believe that the Catechism of the Catholic Church states that God Parents are supposed to be practicing Catholics and of a certain age (18:00) James - I am part of family renewal ministry. What advice can I give to someone who doesn’t want children to come to a youth group where LGTBQ kids go. How can we charitably deal with this? (19:01) Sherry – I was not married in the church, and I didn’t realize that I can't technically be a godparent. I don’t want to offend people who asked me to do this. How should I approach this? (26:47) Tracy - Should I be concerned that my house number will be 666? (40:26) Michael - I commend Patrick in dealing with chronic pain. Is Mary from Lazarus's family the same as Mary Magdalen? (42:17) Rosemary - How do we force ourselves to have faith? If I am afraid of spiders, someone telling me not to fear them is not going to help. (46:44)

And he also talks about the differences between Latin and English, and recommends people learn some Latin. Patrick discusses the conflict in wanting to an organization that does good, but commits some immoral acts. He also takes a question regarding evolution and the way it’s taught. Lily-Why can’t siblings get married? (2:42) Zach (email)-Does the devil hate the sound of Latin and is it the purest language? (5:06) Mark-How you could go to mass in any other country, and it’s the same Latin Mass and to get rid of the Latin Mass is to divide the Church. (13:59) Catherine-Question about choosing new Godparents as original Godparents have lost their way. (18:09) Joan-Latin had a juridical and legislative vocabulary that led to doctrine. (20:11) Mary Ann Can I donate to a scientific research organization for a specific thing since I don't like all that they do? (28:44) Larry-If Satan doesn't like Latin, why do Devil worshipers use Latin? (39:19) Jessica (email)-Any online Latin classes to recommend? (41:41) Magdalena-My kids go to Catholic School and they say that evolution could be a thing but I have a background in biological sciences and I see no evidence of it. (43:50)
