Podcast appearances and mentions of James Shea

AMDG. Alumni and CVS health general management program developer Charlie Mihaliak steps onto stage to share an inspiring message about the importance of education in the current cultural moment. "What we're facing right now," Charlie declares, "is an idolatry of this farce of limitless freedom as the key to happiness." Charlie reminisces on his own journey to happiness, from his own Kolbe graduation to becoming a business major-- a major he quickly switched, choosing theater as his focus instead. Charlie reflects on the lessons he learned during this chapter of his life; why he considers theatre as "three-dimensional metaphysics"; the challenges facing students today; and why more choices equates to less happiness.   Kolbe Chief Operations Officer and grandson of the founders Chris Rowles takes the spotlight next to share an inspiring reflection on the development and growth of Kolbe Academy from its earliest days in the 1980s. "They didn't have the internet to find each other, but somehow they still did," Chris remarks. Chris advocates for Kolbe families and discusses Kolbe's fundraising initiatives aimed at providing accessible education to all. "With your help," Chris adds, "we can ensure that our students are prepared not just academically, but spiritually and morally for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.”   To learn more about or contribute to Kolbe Academy's financial assistance program, click here.     Related Kolbecast episodes:  213 This Is a Beginning, speeches from 2024 Commencement in Atlanta  224 Forming Apostolic Hearts, a speech given by Msgr.

In this bonus episode, Heather is joined by Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR live at the National Eucharistic Congress (NEC) for a special Abiding Together and They that Hope podcast mashup. They reflect on their experiences at the NEC and share how they hope God will transform the lives of not only those in attendance, but also those at home. Heather and Fr. Dave also discuss finding Jesus in our daily lives and the importance of feasting on God instead of earthly things. This episode is a production of Franciscan University and OSV. Special thanks to MAX Studios for recording and hosting the live podcast stage.   Heather's Highlight from the NEC - Adoration with Floriani  Heather's One Thing - Receiving a copy of her new book:  Encountering Emmanuel (A Guided Advent Journal for Prayer and Meditation) Fr. Dave's Highlight from the NEC - His time spent with the young people at the Congress Fr. Dave's One Thing - Deep friendships Other Resources Mentioned:  Msgr. James Shea's Full Speech at the National Eucharistic Congress   Announcement: Season 15 begins September 2024 - join our email list to receive updates!   Journal Questions: How have I experienced Eucharistic revival this year? Have you allowed the stress of your duties and burdens take your eyes off Christ in this season? How can I shift my gaze from my inner world to Christ?   Discussion Questions: How has Christ encountered you personally when you felt lost in the crowd? What obstacles cause you to miss Him when He's right in front of you? How can you put yourself back into the reality that God is sovereign and in control?   Quote to Ponder: “The One whom the Father has sent into our hearts, the Spirit of his Son, is truly God. Consubstantial with the Father and the Son, the Spirit is inseparable from them, in both the inner life of the Trinity and his gift of love for the world. In adoring the Holy Trinity, life-giving, consubstantial, and indivisible, the Church's faith also professes the distinction of persons. When the Father sends his Word, he always sends his Breath. In their joint mission, the Son and the Holy Spirit are distinct but inseparable. To be sure, it is Christ who is seen, the visible image of the invisible God, but it is the Spirit who reveals him.” (CCC 689)   Scripture for Lectio:  “When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight. They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?” (Luke 24:30-32)

As the final weekend of the Premier League season cemented Man City's fourth successive title, we ask the question, "Was it all down to Stefan Ortega?" The German pulled off a masterclass in "No2ing" in the midweek victory over Tottenham and capped off another impressive campaign since joining the club as a relative unknown on these shores. Elsewhere, Nick Pope returned to action for Newcastle, James Shea made his Premier League bow for Luton, Dean Henderson finished on a high at Crystal Palace and David Raya showed just how good his hands are in Arsenal's defeat of Everton. A quick nod is given to Corey Addai and Jamie Cumming for their play-off triumphs at Crawley and Oxford respectively, while Joe Hart is now just one game away from goalkeeping retirement.

The Premier League season ended for Luton Town on Sunday and fittingly the 90 minutes of the 4-2 defeat to Fulham was very much in keeping with much of the campaign with injuries and poor defending proving to be so costly - but with fan reaction like no other.  Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look back on an entertaining and, in many ways, special final day as they reflect on the game itself and the wonderful scenes after the final whistle. The boys pay tribute to a couple of key performers over the game and the season and send their best wishes to two great people who are retiring after the season. Hear reaction interviews with manager Rob Edwards, captain Carlton Morris, history maker Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu, the man whose goal helped secure Premier League football, Jordan Clark, and the player who tasted Premier League football for the first time in James Shea. We also discuss, if the rumours prove to be true, our player of the season Ross Barkley's imminent move to Aston Villa.   All this and more on the longest running Luton Town podcast! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Find us at: https://www.lutontownsupporterstrust.com Find all the latest Luton Town news at The Lutonian: https://thelutonian.com/ James Shea Interview courtesy of Luton Town FC Still images of Luton match action are by Liam Smith Photography, who is hanging up his lense.

AMDG. In the 200 episodes since we rebooted the Kolbecast, we've heard from a lot of significant voices. In this episode, we hear from two of the most significant Kolbeans: our students. Ninth graders Noah (who does a hybrid of self-paced and online classes) and Caleb (who does all online) visit with Bonnie and Steven, where the real-life long-distance friends share about their typical school days, their happy and cautionary memories, the lessons they're learning about both diligence and rest, the effort they invest in their education and formation, and the things they like to do when they're not working on school.  Noah and Caleb utilize Kolbe offerings in different ways.

In Minnesota and western Wisconsin, it seems we're never far from family farms, which helps us to have an appreciation for those who grow and harvest our food. 2024 is a big year for our sisters and brothers in faith and agriculture, as the Church celebrates 100 years of Catholic Rural Life – which is based in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Monsignor James Shea, president of the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota, will be part of that celebration in May. He joined producer Kayla Mayer to reflect on how his rural upbringing influenced his faith and what all Catholics can relate to and take away from rural life.

The Maccabean Revolt presented the Jewish people with a difficult choice: conform or face persecution. Christians today may feel a similar cultural pressure to compromise their beliefs. In this discussion, Jeff Cavins and Monsignor James Shea examine the heroic resistance of Jews who refused to conform during the Maccabean Revolt.

What is the real reason behind the increase in loneliness and anxiety? There is almost an inability, in our world today, to cope with life.

Dr. Edward Sri discusses the deeper meaning of Monsignor Shea's words. Snippet from the Show The heart of all our suffering in this world is because we find ourselves under Satan's power.

You understand how difficult it is to function after a sleepless night, how hard it is to be kind, understanding and loving when you are exhausted, how frustrating it is to be tired and unable to do your best. Please intercede for us before the throne of God and ask that if it be His will, they may be able to sleep at night and no longer suffer from insomnia. If it is not God's will at this time, we ask for the grace to use any sleepless hours as a time of prayer, offering that sleeplessness for the souls who most need God's love and mercy. ***** Msgr.
