We explore the truth that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man; he is one person with two natures, both Divine and human. Fr. Mike explains that we call Mary the Mother of God because, from the very moment of his conception, Jesus was fully God and fully human. Fr. Mike also goes over heresies in the history of the Church that have denied the humanity of Christ, rejected the divinity of Christ, or confused the fact that Jesus is the Son of God by nature. The Church has always responded by affirming that Jesus Christ is truly the Son of God who became a man and our brother without ceasing to be God and Lord.

Send a text The Holy Bible is clear as to how we must be saved, why we are saved, who is saved, and what we are saved for. The world is full of confessors of the Christian faith. However, there must be certain character traits of our Christianity observed within and around us before we can truly claim to know the Saviour, Jesus Christ. Sadly, in this age this very essential character is missing in the higher number of professors of the Christian faith. But our Saviour and Lord made clear that unless we have the character, we are not His and cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. There is only ONE way to be a Christian!

We explore Lewis' 1948 article "Priestesses in the Church?", where C. S. Lewis explains why he thinks women should not be ordained as Priests. We found his answer quite surprising as it has less to do with what a woman is, or can do, and more to do with what a Priest is, and is meant to do. In a worldwide debate that is ongoing and often very volatile, we find Lewis' contribution to the discussion unique and thought-provoking. We also touch on a part of Lewis' preface to his friend Austin Farrer's A Faith of Our Own (found in Image and Imagination, by C.S. Lewis).Find more Lesser-Known Lewis — Online: pintswithjack.com/lesser-known-lewisPatreon: patreon.com/lesserknownlewisInstagram: @lesserknownlewisFacebook: Lesser-Known Lewis PodcastEmail: lesserknownlewis@gmail.comGraphic Design by Angus Crawford.Intro Music - Written by Jess Syratt, arranged & produced by Angus Crawford and Jordan Duncan.
EPISODE 127 - “HOLLYWOOD FIGHTS BACK: THE COMMITTEE FOR THE FIRST AMENDMENT” - 2/16/2026 On October 1st, a group of entertainment professionals—led by iconic actress and activist JANE FONDA—relaunched the Committee for the First Amendment. They did so in response to what they see as troubling actions by the current government, including renewed efforts to silence critics across government, media, the courts, universities, and the entertainment industry. The group is standing up for free speech and creative expression, believing that the right to criticize, question, protest—and even poke fun at those in power—is central to what America has always aimed to be.This isn't the first time Hollywood has come together to push back against the federal government for violating the Constitution. Back in 1947, the fear of communism sent the government into a frenzy. In an effort to root out so-called “commies,” officials went after elected leaders, government workers, professors, and artists. Many were blacklisted, harassed, silenced, and even jailed because of their political beliefs. To counter this, a group of actors, writers, producers, and directors formed the Committee for the First Amendment, an advocacy group to fight these Hollywood blacklisting, during what would turn out to be a very dark and shameful chapter in American history. This week, we dive into the Committee for the First Amendment, how it started, what it stood for, and why it's still relevant today.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, focuses on the things that has caused the American Christian churches to drift in a disturbing direction. He points out that as American Christian churches began to build sprawling campuses to attract the growing suburbanites, and with mega churches adopting strategies to remove any and all barriers that would discourage someone from attending to the prosperity gospel churches were avoiding the hard truths of, sin, sacrifice, and repentance and producing a generation of Christians unprepared to persevere in a culture increasingly hostile to biblical truth. Dr. Hall then focuses on the heresies that plague contemporary Christian churches. He makes the point that the modern-day Christian churches have been pushed to the side of the public square but that it does not need rebranding – it needs rediscovery. He points out that the Christian church does not need new programs or slogans – it needs repentance. Can be heard on all podcast search engines and viewed on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/0bUt6FiFHrg
Dante's Inferno - 9 Circles of Mental Hell (And How to Climb Out). In this podcast we will descend into the 9 Circles of "Mental Hell" that you might be creating for yourself, and how to climb your way back to the stars from the philosophy of Dante Alighieri's Inferno. Dante Alighieri was a 14th century, exiled Italian politician who wrote a poem that terrifies us to this day. It is called The Divine Comedy, but we know its first section best: Inferno. On the surface, it is a tour of the Christian afterlife—a journey down through the nine circles of Hell to see how sinners are punished. But if you strip away the medieval theology, you realize that Dante wasn't just mapping the afterlife; he was mapping the geography of human suffering. Dante begins his story not in Hell, but in a "Dark Wood." He writes: "Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost." This is the psychological state we have all felt. The anxiety. The depression. The moment you wake up and realize you don't know who you are or where you are going. To get out of this dark wood, Dante cannot climb up the mountain of happiness directly. He has to go down. He has to face the darkest parts of himself first. Hell isn't a place you go when you die. It's a headspace. Right now, many of us are walking through Dante's circles without even knowing it. We build these infernos within our own minds—brick by brick, habit by habit—eventually mistaking our cage for normal life. So, let's descend. Here are the 9 Circles of "Mental Hell" that you might be creating for yourself, and how to climb your way back to the stars.Introduction - 00:00 – 01:51Circle 1: Limbo - 01:51 – 03:50Circle 2: Lust - 03:50 – 06:03Circle 3: Gluttony - 06:03 – 08:30Circle 4: Greed - 08:30 – 10:45Circle 5: Anger - 10:45 – 12:37Circle 6: Heresy - 12:37 – 14:12Circle 7: Violence - 14:12 – 17:13 Circle 8: Fraud - 17:13 – 21:26 Circle 9: Treachery - 21:26 – 24:24The Conclusion: The Way Out - 24:24 – 26:12I hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope these 9 Circles Of "Mental Hell" You Create for Yourself from the philosophy of Dante Alighieri's Inferno will add value to your life.

Welcome to Day 2791 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – Arianism: The Heresy That Shook an Empire and Hastened Rome's Fall Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2791 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2791 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website theologyinfive.com. Today's lesson is titled Arianism: The Heresy That Shook an Empire and Hastened Rome's Fall. Arianism was more than a theological dispute; it became a force that rattled the foundations of the Roman Empire. Originating with the Alexandrian priest Arius (AD 250–336), the doctrine asserted that the Son, Jesus Christ, was a created being and therefore not co-eternal with the Father. This challenged the traditional Christian understanding of Jesus' divinity and ignited a controversy that tore through the Church and empire alike. By the time of Constantine in the early 4th century, Christianity had been legalized and heavily promoted, though not yet made the official religion of Rome. Constantine's patronage brought Christianity into the center of imperial life, and his calling of the Council of Nicaea in 325 demonstrated just how closely church and empire were becoming linked. Yet the settlement of Nicaea did not resolve the issue. The Arian controversy lingered, splitting bishops, congregations, and emperors. What began as a debate over the Trinity soon spiraled into a crisis that divided the empire at its core. As Arianism spread, particularly among the Germanic tribes who would later overrun the Western Empire, the theological rift turned into a political fault line. In this way, a doctrinal battle over Christ's divinity became bound up with the very fate of Rome itself. The first segment is: Why Arianism Was Declared a Heresy The Church declared Arianism a heresy at the First Council of Nicaea in AD 325. The fundamental issue revolved around the nature and divinity of Jesus Christ. While Arius believed Jesus was a creation—albeit the highest of all creations—the Church upheld that Jesus was uncreated, co-eternal, and co-equal with the Father. Scripture played a decisive role in the dispute. John 1:1 states, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” This verse affirms the divinity of Jesus, describing Him as the Word who both existed at the beginning and was God Himself. Colossians 1:16 likewise insists on Christ's active role in creation: “For by him [Jesus] all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.” Such passages undermine the Arian claim that Jesus Himself was a creation. The second segment is: Arianism and the Fall of Rome...
Join the show with a TEXT here!Been given the amazing privilege of leading Sunday school at my local church on a topic that I'm very passionate about. You guys have seen most of this material before but highly recommend tuning in as we get amazing questions from the audience and a little restructure of the material!
Send us a textEver wondered how Scripture can say God is one while revealing Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in living, relational harmony? We take on the challenge head-on, not with philosophy but with clear passages that refuse to be flattened into a single-person performance. At the Jordan River, Jesus stands in the water, the Spirit descends, and the Father speaks from heaven—no costume changes, no echo tricks, just the triune God revealing himself in love and mission.From there, we walk through John 14 where Jesus promises “another Comforter,” the Spirit of truth whom the Father sends at the Son's request. The language is unmistakable: three distinct persons acting in perfect unity for our good. We also reach back to Genesis 1:26—“Let us make man in our image”—to show how the Old Testament sows seeds of plurality within the one God, later named fully in the New Testament as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Along the way, we address common objections, including why “Everlasting Father” in Isaiah 9:6 does not erase the real distinction between the Father and the Son.What does this mean for daily faith? Everything. Prayer finds its shape when we come to the Father, through the Son, in the Holy Spirit. The gospel holds its power when we see the Son obediently laying down his life to the Father, and the Spirit applying that finished work to our hearts. A solitary god cannot be love from eternity, but the triune God is love—forever Father loving the Son in the fellowship of the Spirit—and that love welcomes us into communion.If this conversation sharpened your view of God and gave you new language for prayer and worship, share it with a friend who's wrestling with these questions.

Send us a textEver wonder why Scripture so carefully speaks of the Father sending the Son and the Spirit being sent to us? We walk through the shape of salvation as a triune work: the Father initiates, the Son accomplishes redemption by bearing wrath on our behalf, and the Spirit applies that finished work to our hearts. This isn't wordplay; it is the logic that makes adoption, assurance, and worship hold together without strain.We press into the biblical backbone behind this claim. From Daniel's vision of the Son of Man coming to the Ancient of Days to Paul's language in Romans and Colossians, the texts force us to reckon with real personal distinctions in God. Adoption becomes luminous when a natural Son stands at the center: we are sons by grace because He is Son by nature. Reduce the Son to a mode and you turn sonship into a metaphor and inheritance into poetry. Lift Him up as the eternal beloved of the Father, and the Spirit's witness—crying “Abba, Father”—lands with living power.We also make the case that the Holy Spirit is not an abstract force but a divine person who speaks, teaches, grieves, and intercedes. Treat Him as a mere attribute and communion with God evaporates into theory; receive Him as Lord and He guides, seals, and comforts with purpose. Underneath it all is a profound claim: God is love, eternally. Eternal love requires an eternal beloved, and that is why the Father, Son, and Spirit are not theological extras but the beating heart of the gospel. Join us as we test assumptions, trace the Scriptures, and call the church back to its core confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.If this conversation sharpened your faith, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help others find it.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

We move from text to clarity, showing how Scripture's demand for two or three witnesses undercuts modalism and anchors the reliability of Jesus' claims.We get practical fast. Questions pour in about the first “light” in Genesis, the Spirit hovering over the waters, and what it really means for Jesus to be at the right hand of God if there's only one throne in heaven. We unpack how biblical throne language points to authority and dominion rather than physical seating, and why the ascended, incarnate Christ sharing the Father's reign is the best news for weary disciples. Along the way, we map Daniel 7's Son of Man, John 1's Word, and Revelation's river of life to show how the canon speaks with one voice: God alone creates, and the Father, Son, and Spirit work inseparably as one God in three distinct persons.You'll also hear thoughtful guardrails for study: how doctrinal errors multiply when the doctrine of God is off, how to test teachings by Scripture, and how analogies like Adam and Eve can help without replacing revelation. The tone stays warm and pastoral, with space for real questions and honest wrestling, pointing you toward a faith that is both sturdy and adoring. If you're navigating conversations with friends or family about the Trinity, or if you want deeper confidence that the gospel rests on God's own self-giving love, this one will steady your steps and sharpen your answers.If this conversation helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review with the question you want us to tackle next.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!
Send us a textStart with a hard question: when Jesus prays, who is He talking to? We take that question straight to Scripture and uncover a clear pattern across the birth of Christ, His baptism, the transfiguration, Gethsemane, and His ongoing intercession. The threads converge on one reality: the Bible presents one God in three distinct persons, and that clarity is not a technicality—it safeguards the meaning of prayer, obedience, the cross, and salvation itself.We walk through the relational language of the New Testament—Father sending the Son, the Son obeying and saying not my will, but yours, and the Spirit descending and regenerating—and explain why these are not theatrical roles but real personal distinctions within the unity of God. That frame unlocks the power of mediation. A mediator stands between parties. First Timothy 2:5 calls Jesus the man Christ Jesus, mediator between God and men, while Hebrews and 1 John describe His intercession and advocacy with the Father. These terms lose force if the Son is merely the Father in disguise. They gain depth when the Son, truly God and truly man, presents His finished work to the Father on our behalf.We also map the triune pattern of salvation: the Father elects, the Son redeems, the Spirit regenerates and sanctifies. This is the living choreography behind every conversion, a single divine will enacted inseparably by three persons, each acting according to personal properties. Even the Old Testament prepares us for this unity-in-distinction: the Shema's confession of one Lord, the Elohim language of Genesis, and the Angel of the Lord and Name theology hint at plurality-in-unity fulfilled in Christ and the Spirit. Far from puzzle-box religion, this is the Bible's straightforward witness that preserves the gospel's center.If this conversation helps you see Scripture's coherence more clearly, share it with a friend, subscribe for future deep dives, and leave a review telling us the passage that most clarified the Trinity for you. Your reflections shape where we go next.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Fr. Elias Mary Mills, F.I., served as Rector of the Shrine Church at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Lacrosse, Wisconsin, from 2016 to 2021. He was ordained in May of 2000. In Today's Show: Why is Mount Sinai sometimes referred to as Mount Horeb in the Bible? How can I use my talents from God in my work? How can the Church be in a difficult time when we've just lived through an unprecedented golden age of saint popes? Are Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory physical spaces? What is the Church's stance on the Limbo of the Unbaptized? How can life be so unbalanced, and will those who cause suffering pay in the afterlife? Does God consider protestantism heresy/grave sin, or is He ok with it since they are at least believers in Christ? Why does God give some people time to repent late in life after living a life of sin while others die young? Is there any sort of fast for after Communion? Should I worry about attacks when working with people who are against my faith? Did St. John the Baptist and the Holy Family spend a lot of time together when they were growing up? Are there any prayers I can say while the host is lifted? Resources: Fr.

Send us a textWhat if the six promises of Daniel 9:24 aren't hanging over the future but were nailed down at Calvary? We take a hard look at the text and walk through Hebrews 9, Romans 5–6, Colossians 2, and Ephesians 2 to ask whether Scripture itself says the work is finished. Our aim is simple: test the claim that Jesus, as mediator of the New Covenant, accomplished the end of sins, made reconciliation for iniquity, brought in everlasting righteousness, sealed vision and prophecy, and was anointed as the Most Holy.We start with the cross as the decisive act. Hebrews says Christ appeared once to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself, and Romans says He died unto sin once. That means the end of sins is not a future pause in human behavior, but the present end of sin's condemning power for all who believe. From there we trace reconciliation: while enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son. Add Colossians' declaration that all trespasses are forgiven and the record of debt is canceled, and the picture sharpens—this isn't a plan on layaway. It's already purchased.Then we tackle everlasting righteousness. Paul announces a righteousness revealed now apart from the law, credits believers as righteous through the obedience of the One, and locates this grace in union with the risen Christ. If righteousness is ours now, what future week are we still waiting for? We also address “sealing up vision and prophecy,” centering fulfillment on Jesus' own words that everything written in Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms concerning Him must be fulfilled. God has spoken to us by His Son, the telos of revelation and the anchor of our assurance.Finally, we consider the anointing of the Most Holy. Jesus reads Isaiah 61, “He has anointed Me,” and Hebrews shows Him entering the true holy place with His own blood. The greater temple is here, and no brick‑and‑mortar project can eclipse the holiness of the Son. Along the way we challenge the assumption of a future seven‑year tribulation, not to provoke for its own sake, but to preserve the glory and sufficiency of the cross. If the gospel did what Scripture says it did, speculation gives way to certainty, and worship deepens.If this conversation sharpened your thinking, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review telling us where you stand on Daniel 9.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

He fought an extremely rare form of cancer bravely, but in the end, his heart couldn't keep up the fight anymore. He went fast with no prolonged suffering. We want to thank all of you who have kept him in prayer. Please know that those prayers were not in vain. Our son lives with Jesus now. We are now updating this campaign to reflect our financial need for his remaining hospital bills, funeral expenses, and housing for our family. As most men, I do not enjoy asking for help. However, as most fathers and husbands can relate to, there isn't anything I won't do for my family. In light of that, I wanted to first ask all of you to pray for us. Also, because of the overwhelming expenses that inevitably come from all these things happening at the same time, if you feel led to help us financially, there's a couple different ways you can do that:GiveSendGo: http://www.GiveSendGo.com/NathanTheBravePayPal: http://PayPal.me/JoshPeckDisclosureOr send in your donation to:P.O.
