Dr. David Griffin, a Charleston, South Carolina native, is a nationally recognized leader, speaker, author, and fire service professional whose life was forever changed on June 18, 2007. As the driver of the first engine on scene at the devastating Sofa Super Store fire that claimed the lives of nine Charleston firefighters, David was thrust into a journey of trauma, transformation, and ultimately, purpose. Haunted by survivor's guilt, Griffin initially spiraled into destructive coping mechanisms including alcohol, painkillers, and professional mixed martial arts fighting. After a punishing bout with UFC veteran Houston “The Assassin” Alexander left him battered and soul-searching, he came to a powerful realization: the path he was on did not honor the legacy of the nine lives lost. That moment became the catalyst for his life's mission to lead change, challenge outdated systems, and promote healing and resilience among first responders and organizations worldwide. Today, Dr. Griffin holds a Doctorate of Education in Organizational Leadership and Development, a Master's Degree in Executive Fire Service Leadership, and a Bachelor of Science in Education from The Citadel, where he also played Division I baseball and later coached. He currently serves as the Assistant Chief for the Charleston Fire Department, having held every uniformed rank, and leads the department's Honor Guard and Mental Health Peer Support Team. He is a graduate of the National Fire Academy's Executive Fire Officer program and has completed executive education at Harvard, Yale, Cornell, and through the IAFC's Fire Service Executive Development Institute. He is a Certified Fire Officer IV, Chief Fire Officer (CFO), and Chief Training Officer (CTO), and is an active member of the IAFC and the Institution of Fire Engineers (MIFireE). Beyond his fire service career, Griffin's personal journey is one of grit and resilience. From overcoming doubts as a young athlete to becoming a state bodybuilding champion, professional MMA fighter, marathoner, and Ironman triathlete, he lives what he teaches. He was a rider in the 1,700-mile Brotherhood Ride from Florida to Ground Zero and continues to pursue fitness through boxing, surfing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and more. In 2013, David launched The Find Your Mission Tour, an international movement of leadership, mental health awareness, and cultural reform. Over the last 12 years, he has spoken to more than 1,300 organizations across 47 U.S. states and multiple countries, reaching over 550,000 people in five languages. His audiences include fire and police departments, military units, universities, private companies, and nonprofits. He is also a best-selling author with four published books: In Honor of The Charleston 9: A Study of Change Following Tragedy ACTION: 9 Missions for Personal and Professional Growth From PTSD to PTG: A Firefighter's (MY) Journey After a Multiple LODD Incident Tattoos and Trauma: The Healing Power of Tattoos for Emergency Responders Griffin is currently working on three new books: I'll Stand By You, Principled Leadership From The Road Less Traveled, and Handwritten Hope: Poetry and Prose to Cope. His wife, Melissa Griffin, is also an author, having written Inspiration from a Wife on a Mission Following Tragedy, which details the challenges of supporting a partner with PTSD. Dr. David Griffin is living proof that adversity can be transformed into impact. His message is clear: trauma does not have to define you your mission can.

The Holy Post crew is suspicious of a new study that finds MAGA supporters score higher in  authoritarianism, social dominance, and malevolent personality traits, while liberals score higher in compassion and empathy. Church planter, Brad Edwards, says many of us hold beliefs, language, and values that sabotage our ability to benefit from participation in a church. He talks to Kaitlyn about his new book, “The Reason for Church,” and why our anti-institutional instincts are self-defeating. Also this week, the Secretary of Defense reposted comments from his pastor that women shouldn't be allowed to vote. The Catholic Church says ICE detainees are being denied their religious rights. And robo-bunnies of death.

While there isn't a cure for Alzheimer's disease and dementia, research out of the U.S. tells us there are several ways to reduce or slow the progression. Jessica Langbaum, senior director of research strategy at Banner Alzheimer's Institution in Phoenix, joins Tamara Cherry to discuss the study's findings and how we can take this knowledge and apply it to our daily lives.

In this episode, Dr. Gil Blander welcomes Dr. Haim Cohen to Longevity by Design to explore his revolutionary approach to understanding aging. Haim's team analyzed acetylation sites across 107 mammalian species, creating its most extensive comparative study. This computational approach revealed specific post-translational modifications that evolved exclusively in long-lived animals.The research identifies critical pathways where evolution engineered longevity solutions. These acetylation changes affect DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and mitochondrial function. Unlike traditional aging research focusing on single pathways like mTOR or caloric restriction, Haim's unbiased screening simultaneously reveals multiple longevity targets. Evolution provided a natural laboratory for testing anti-aging modifications over millions of years.The findings offer exciting therapeutic possibilities for human longevity. Haim's team is now creating transgenic mice to test whether mimicking these evolutionary changes can extend lifespan in the lab. This research suggests humans could potentially "accelerate evolution" by implementing modifications that nature has already proven effective in whales, elephants, and other long-lived species. Guest-at-a-Glance

« Dis-moi à quel jeu tu joues, je te dirai qui tu es », une série spéciale de RFI à la découverte des jeux populaires à travers le monde. Ces jeux qui, à travers les joueurs, parlent de la culture et de l'identité de chaque pays. Au Venezuela, les dominos sont davantage qu'un jeu qui se partage entre amis ou en famille. C'est un vrai sport national, avec son équipe, sa fédération, ses championnats. Si le jeu se conjugue sous plusieurs formes, seul ou en équipe notamment, la version favorite des Vénézuéliens, c'est à deux qu'elle se joue. Dans les villages, sur les places, lors des réunions de famille ou dans des hôtels huppés pour des tournois, les dominos s'adaptent à tous les styles et sont une véritable institution dans le pays. De notre correspondante à Caracas, Environ 70% des Vénézuéliens joueraient aux dominos. Dans chaque famille, il y a un jeu, et sur les places publiques, on trouve toujours quelques pratiquants invétérés, comme ici dans le quartier de Petare. Dans cette zone très populaire, tous les après-midis, ils sont quelques-uns à se retrouver pour s'affronter, par équipe de deux. Le but : que les deux joueurs aient posé tous leurs dominos avant leurs adversaires. Ici, on ne joue pas d'argent, on vient pour se détendre. L'ambiance est haute en couleur. Autour de la table, on s'exclame, on claque les pièces, on glisse quelques commentaires.  « Les quatre joueurs doivent être conscients de tout ce qu'il se passe autour de la table. On appelle cela un système. C'est de la transmission d'information, pour ton partenaire et pour les joueurs de l'autre équipe, car en fonction de ce que tu fais, ils vont comprendre ton jeu. Il y a des gens qui disent que ce sont des indices, mais ce ne sont pas des indices, c'est de l'information », explique, enthousiaste, Angelo, qui fait partie de la Fédération vénézuélienne de dominos.  Mais ces informations peuvent être considérées comme de la triche. À quelques kilomètres à peine, un tournoi exclusif a lieu dans un quartier huppé de la capitale. Et ici, autour de la table de jeu, le silence est de rigueur. Ignacio Salvatierra est l'organisateur : « Le temps mis à réfléchir, c'est la seule méthode autorisée pour informer aux dominos. En gros, si tu hésites longtemps ou pas avant ton coup. Les dominos corrects devraient se jouer de façon que toutes les pièces soient posées de la même manière. On ne devrait pas les claquer ni les faire glisser. » Les joueurs ont payé leur participation au tournoi, et les trois premiers remporteront plusieurs centaines de dollars. Le niveau socio-économique est bien plus élevé, mais la passion reste la même. Avant de commencer la compétition, deux joueuses nous donnent leurs trois règles d'or : « Lever, répéter et se rappeler. Alors, répéter, cela veut dire que si tu as un bon jeu, par exemple avec des 5, il faut que tu les joues, que tu les répètes, pour que la personne qui te suit soit obligée de passer. Lever, ça veut dire avoir un bon jeu, avoir de la chance. Enfin, tu dois te rappeler qui a joué quoi pour aider ton partenaire ou bien éviter une pièce. » Et ce sport semble avoir de beaux jours devant lui au Venezuela. La sélection nationale vient de rentrer du championnat américain avec une médaille d'or, une d'argent et une de bronze.  À lire aussiDis-moi à quoi tu joues?: en Syrie, le backgammon, plus qu'un jeu, un rituel quotidien

Suite de notre série qui vous emmène à la découverte des délices du continent, ces plats qui font saliver rien qu'à l'évocation de leur nom. Pour ce quatrième épisode, nous allons ce matin en Tunisie, pour savourer le mleoui. Cette crêpe de semoule, aux origines berbères, est devenue une institution dans la street food (cuisine de rue). Peu coûteux et rassasiant, le sandwich s'achète dans des gargotes de quartier et se décline en différentes versions, selon les garnitures que l'on met à l'intérieur. Pour certains amateurs, trouver le meilleur mleoui à Tunis est une activité très sérieuse.  De notre correspondante à Tunis, Yasser Hana, restaurateur palestinien vivant en Tunisie, est un fan de street food. Sur les réseaux sociaux, il en a fait sa marque de fabrique en tant que créateur de contenus, et le mleoui est son sandwich préféré. « Un mleoui, avec deux fromages, un peu de harissa et de thon », commande-t-il avec précision chez Mleoui Mahbouba, une gargotte tenue par deux sœurs depuis trente ans. « Un truc simple sans chichis, deux fromages triangle, un peu de harissa, des oignons et du thon. Pas d'omelette, pas d'olives, pas de mayonnaise pour ne pas gâcher le goût de la pâte, pour savourer le goût de chaque ingrédient seul, pour avoir dans la bouche une expérience homogène », explique-t-il. Car ce qui fait la force du mleoui, c'est sa simplicité : une crêpe épaisse à base de semoule, comme l'explique Mahbouba, qui travaille la pâte juste avant de la cuire. « La pâte, on la fait le jour même. Un peu de sel, de la semoule fine et un peu d'huile et le tour est joué. Je la remue comme ça, on la laisse reposer quelques minutes, et ensuite, on cuit le mleoui et on ajoute la garniture. C'est très frais et instantané. » Le prix, qui ne dépasse pas un euro, et toutes ses différentes garnitures en font l'un des sandwichs préférés des Tunisiens. Un sandwich qui évoque une certaine nostalgie, selon Yasser : « Le consommateur basique, il est très fidèle à son mleoui de quartier ou au mleoui dans la ruelle où il a grandi. » À quelques encablures, un jeune de 30 ans, Fahd, a ouvert sa propre boutique où il vend des mleouis déclinés dans une recette qui s'inspire de la version marocaine, le msemen, où l'on ajoute un peu de beurre et de farine. « À chaque fois, on ajoute un ingrédient et finalement, on a trouvé la bonne recette et la bonne combinaison de ces ingrédients-là », estime-t-il. « Les Tunisiens disent souvent qu'ils n'aiment que la nourriture de leur mère, mais c'est vrai que pour ces produits de street food, on préfère aller dans la rue. Surtout le mleoui. Je pense qu'il n'y a pas un Tunisien qui ne mange pas le mleoui une seule où deux fois par semaine », explique-t-il. Il propose aussi une version de la pâte au pesto ou épicée. Des variantes qui fonctionnent puisqu'il a gagné le Torchi Food Award 2024, une compétition qui récompense le meilleur de la street food tunisienne.

The custom among Ashkenazim is to refrain from shaving and haircutting throughout the three-week period of Ben Ha'mesarim, from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz through Tisha B'Ab. Sepharadim, by contrast, observe this practice only during the week of Tisha B'Ab, from the Shabbat immediately preceding Tisha B'Ab until the 10 th of Ab. If a Sephardic boy is studying in an Ashkenazic yeshiva, where the majority of the students are refraining from shaving and haircutting already from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz, he is nevertheless allowed to shave and take a haircut, until the week of Tisha B'Ab. However, it is preferable that he avoid doing so in order not to stand out. Hacham Ovadia Yosef writes about one who is stringent in this regard, "Tabo Alav Beracha" – he is worthy of special blessing. If a Sephardic student in an Ashkenazic institution has been accustomed to acting stringently, refraining from shaving and haircutting already from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz, and now wishes to change his practice, he may perform Hatarat Nedarim (the annulment of vows). His acceptance of this practice constitutes a "vow," assuming he never explicitly said that he was taking on this practice "Beli Neder" – without making a formal vow. Thus, if he wishes to change his practice so he can shave or take a haircut during the Three Weeks (until the week of Tisha B'Ab), he should conduct Hatarat Nedarim in front of a Bet Din to have his commitment annulled. However, Hatarat Nedarim is required only if the student knew that this stringency was not strictly required by Halacha, and he had followed this practice as an additional measure of piety. If, however, he mistakenly thought that he must refrain from shaving and haircutting already from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz, and he then learned that this is not required, then he may drop this stringent practice even without Hatarat Nedarim. Since this "vow" was taken on a faulty premise, as he erroneously assumed that Halacha requires him to refrain from shaving and haircutting, the "vow" is not binding, and he may therefore change his practice even without annulling his vow. Summary: Sephardic practice is to refrain from shaving and haircutting during the week of Tisha B'Ab. A Sephardic student studying in an institution where the majority of students are Ashkenazim – who refrain from shaving and haircutting already from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz – may shave and take a haircut until the week of Tisha B'Ab, even though the other students refrain from doing so. Nevertheless, it is preferable him to refrain in deference to the Ashkenazic students. If he had observed this stringency and now wishes to act leniently, he may perform Hatarat Nedarim. If he had observed this stringency because he mistakenly thought it was Halachically required, then he does not need Hatarat Nedarim.

On this episode of Longevity by Design, Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Karl Pfleger, aging biotechnology investor and creator of AgingBiotech.info, to dissect the rapidly evolving field of aging therapeutics. Karl breaks down the sector into two main categories: interventions that slow aging rates versus rejuvenation strategies that repair accumulated damage.Karl highlights the most promising areas in his investment portfolio, including senolytics for clearing senescent cells and epigenetic reprogramming technologies. He explains why current aging clocks aren't ready for clinical use and discusses the limitations of popular interventions like GLP-1 drugs and fasting protocols. The conversation reveals that 14 Phase 3 clinical trials are currently testing core aging therapeutics.The discussion covers recent FDA approvals for ATTR treatments and stem cell therapies, signaling the field's maturation. Karl emphasizes that meaningful life extension requires a "divide and conquer" strategy, targeting multiple aging mechanisms simultaneously rather than relying on single interventions. Despite exciting therapeutic developments, he maintains that optimizing diet, exercise, and sleep remains the most impactful strategy for extending healthspan today.Guest-at-a-Glance

Woop! Woop! Das Bundesverfassungsgericht genießt, vermutlich als eine der letzten politischen Institutionen in Deutschland, großes Grundvertrauen in der Bevölkerung. Die aktuelle Debatte um die Richterwahl, angestoßen an der Kampagne von Rechts gegen Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf zeigt, dass auch diese Institution unter Angriff steht. Mit "Machtfaktor Karlsruhe" (Campus) hat Alexander Thiele das Buch der Stunde geschrieben. Darin erfahren wir warum Karlsruhe das mächtigste Verfassungsgericht der Welt ist, wer wie Richter dort werden kann und wie das Gericht zu Urteilen findet und welche Fehler es schon gemacht hat. Zudem spreche ich mit Milan Babić über die Transformation der Welt von der neoliberalen Globalisierung hin zur "Geoökonomie" (Suhrkamp). Enjoy!^^

Think your teen is just being lazy? Think again. Procrastination isn't laziness—it's often rooted in fear, emotional overwhelm, or high expectations. In this episode, host Aaron speaks with counsellor Paul Lim to unpack why teens struggle to get started. Paul explains that procrastination is a symptom, not the root—often tied to self-doubt and pressure.He challenges parents to reflect: could our own fears or need for control be shaping the parent-child dynamic?

A crypto enthusiast once wrote on Reddit, “Bitcoin is like winning the lottery in slow motion.” That might be a stretch, but one thing's clear: Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies aren't going anywhere. Today, Mark Biller joins us to unpack how crypto is moving into the mainstream and what that means for investors trying to make wise decisions.Mark Biller is Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Two Big Takeaways for Crypto InvestorsHere are two key insights to help investors make sense of today's crypto market:Bitcoin Stands Apart – It's critical to understand that Bitcoin is not like the rest of the crypto world. It has emerged as a unique and dominant force, with widespread adoption, while other cryptocurrencies remain highly speculative. Bitcoin Has Reached Critical Mass – Thanks to regulatory shifts and institutional adoption, Bitcoin seems to be here to stay. In just a few years, we've gone from government hostility toward crypto to SEC-approved Bitcoin ETFs and even a pro-crypto administration in the White House.Bitcoin was the original cryptocurrency, launched in 2008, and today it represents about 60% of the entire crypto market. It's gained institutional interest and widespread regulatory acceptance. By contrast, the remaining 40% of the crypto universe is fragmented, filled with thousands of projects, many of which will not survive.Think of most other cryptos not as currencies but as startup tech ventures. That helps frame their high risk and their potential for failure. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has arrived. The rest? They're still trying to prove themselves.Bitcoin as an Investment: What's Changed?Many early Bitcoin advocates hoped it would serve as a usable currency outside of traditional financial systems. But that vision has mostly faded. Today, most investors treat Bitcoin like digital gold—a store of value designed to hedge against inflation and the devaluation of fiat currencies.It's volatile, yes. But its built-in scarcity (only 21 million bitcoins will ever exist) appeals to those who fear government overreach or reckless monetary policy. Bitcoin's not just for tech enthusiasts anymore—it's becoming a strategic asset for serious investors.Generational preferences also shape Bitcoin's rise. Younger investors, raised in a digital world of apps and virtual marketplaces, are far more comfortable with digital assets. What gold has long been to older generations, Bitcoin is becoming to younger ones: a hedge against inflation and a symbol of financial independence.In fact, Bitcoin's correlation with gold has grown significantly in recent years, signaling that institutions are viewing it in similar terms.Institutions and Even Nations Are Paying AttentionIt's not just individuals diving into Bitcoin. Global events—especially the 2022 freezing of Russian reserve assets—have prompted many nations to reassess their reliance on U.S. Treasury bonds. The result? A surge in gold buying by central banks, and increasing openness to alternatives like Bitcoin among private investors.While governments aren't yet buying Bitcoin, there's reasonable evidence to suggest that gold investors are starting to “skate to where the puck is going,” diversifying small portions of their portfolios into Bitcoin as a forward-looking strategy.With that being said, should we be concerned about the global shift away from U.S. treasuries?Not immediately. While a shift away from U.S. Treasuries could eventually raise interest rates and borrowing costs, the dollar still holds dominant status in global transactions. But it's a trend worth watching. It's a slow-motion problem—more of a simmer than a flashpoint.So…Should You Invest in Bitcoin?It depends. Investors with a strong risk tolerance and a positive outlook on gold might allocate a small portion (less than 5%) of their portfolio to Bitcoin or Bitcoin ETF's. The key is position sizing—keeping it small due to Bitcoin's extreme volatility.However, we want to be crystal clear: this only applies to Bitcoin, not to the rest of the crypto space, which still carries a high risk of going to zero.If you're curious to explore more, check out the full article, Bitcoin (& Crypto) Go Mainstream: What You Need To Know, at SoundMindInvesting.org. The SMI team also offers a Bitcoin-inclusive ETF for those looking to dip a toe into this asset class as part of a broader, biblically informed strategy.At the end of the day, financial stewardship isn't about chasing trends—it's about making wise, measured decisions rooted in truth. And with the right knowledge, even complex topics like crypto can be approached with confidence.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I currently have about $1 million in an active 401(k) with a major financial institution. I'd like to transfer those existing funds to another custodian, where I can earn a guaranteed interest rate. However, I also want to continue contributing to my current 401(k) through my employer, taking on more investment risk with those new contributions. Is that possible?My husband and I live with my father-in-law, and the house needs some repairs. He's offered to loan us the money from his retirement account to cover the costs, but he's asking us to help pay the taxes he would owe on the distribution. Is that a wise arrangement?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Bitcoin (& Crypto) Go Mainstream: What You Need To Know by Mark Biller (Sound Mind Investing Article)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Today,we will go back to Luke 22:17-20. It was when the Passover meal was drawing toa close (Matthew 26:25; Luke 22:20) that Jesus instituted the ordinance thatthe church calls "The Communion" (1 Cor. 10:16), or "The Lord'sSupper" (1 Cor. 11:20), or "The Eucharist," from the Greek wordwhich means "to give thanks." ThePassover feast opened with a prayer of thanksgiving, followed by the drinkingof the first of four cups of wine. We believe that this wine was diluted withwater and was not intoxicating. Next they ate the bitter herbs and sang Psalms113-114. Then they drank the second cup of wine and began eating the lamb andthe unleavened bread. After drinking the third cup of wine, they sang Psalms115-118; and then the fourth cup was passed among them. It is likely thatbetween the third and fourth cups of wine, Jesus instituted the Supper. Paulgave the order of the Supper in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26. First, Jesus broke apiece from the unleavened loaf, gave thanks, and shared it with the disciples,saying that it represented His body which was given for them. He then gavethanks for the cup and shared it, saying that it represented His blood. It wasa simple observance that used the basic elements of a humble Jewish meal. Jesussanctified the simple things of life and used them to convey profound spiritualtruths. Jesusstated one of the purposes for the Supper: "in remembrance of Me" (v.19: also see 1 Cor. 11:24-25). It is a memorial feast to remind the believerthat Jesus Christ gave His body and blood for the redemption of the world.There is no suggestion in the accounts of the Supper that anything"miraculous" took place when Jesus blessed the bread and the cup. Thebread remained bread and the wine remained wine, and the physical act ofreceiving the elements did not do anything special to the eleven disciples.When we partake, we identify ourselves with His body and blood (1 Cor. 10:16),but there is no suggestion here that we receive His body and blood. Asecond purpose for the supper is the proclaiming of His death until He returns(1 Cor. 11:26). The Supper encourages us to look back with love and adorationto what He did for us on the cross and to look forward with hope andanticipation to His coming again. Since we must be careful not to come to theLord's table with known sin in our lives, the Supper should also be an occasionfor looking within, examining our hearts, and confessing our sins (1 Cor.11:27-32). Athird blessing from the Supper is the reminder of the unity of the church: weare "one loaf" (1 Cor. 10:17). It is "The Lord's Supper"and is not the exclusive property of any Christian denomination. Whenever weshare in the Supper, we are identifying with Christians everywhere and arereminded of our obligation to "keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond ofpeace" (Eph. 4:3). Forus to receive a spiritual blessing from the Supper, it takes more than merephysical participation. We must also be able to "discern the body" (1Cor. 11:29), that is, see the spiritual truths that are inherent in the breadand the cup. This spiritual discernment comes through the Spirit using theWord. The Holy Spirit makes all of this real to us as we wait before the Lordat the table. Followingthe instituting of the Supper in the Upper Room, Jesus taught His disciplesmany of the basic truths they desperately needed to know in order to haveeffective ministries in a hostile world (John 14-16). He prayed for Hisdisciples (John 17); then they sang a hymn and departed from the Upper Room forthe Garden of Gethsemane. Judas knew they would go there and he would have thearresting officers all prepared. Asyou review this passage, you cannot help but be impressed with the calmness andcourage of the Savior. It is He who is in control, not Satan or Judas or theSanhedrin. It is He who encourages the Apostles! And He is able even to sing ahymn before He goes out to die on a cross!

"The Purpose of Marriage" is a divine mystery that reflects Christ's love for the church. In this episode, Duane Sheriff teaches the divine purpose of marriage and its connection to the gospel. There is a compelling parallel between traditional marriage and our spiritual union with Jesus. Marriage is not simply a contract or social institution. It is a divine institution that reflects Christ's love for the church. Today's culture and many churches often fail to grasp the true purpose of marriage. Understanding the connection between marriage and our relationship with Christ is essential to our spiritual growth.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/the-purpose-of-marriage/

This "In Brief" section reviews all that we have learned in recent episodes. In the Church, “the faithful" refers to clerics and the laity with various callings in each. Fr. Mike explains how God calls every human being to unity with him. No matter our vocations, we must surrender our lives to the Lord and participate in the priestly, prophetic, and kingly offices of Christ. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 934-945. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
