Podcasts about Keeping the Faith

Sunday - 10/12/2025 - Alan Clayton

In this first video episode of Worthy Pursuit, Amy dives into James 1 to talk about what it really means to have a faith that endures. When life gets hard, it's easy to ask “Why me?”—but James reminds us that our trials aren't wasted. They're opportunities for God to grow something lasting inside of us. In this episode, Amy talks about:

Vatican journalist Colleen Dulle discusses her new book, Struck Down, Not Destroyed: Keeping the Faith as a Vatican Reporter, a memoir of the last seven years. In 2018, she started for the Jesuit Review, America Magazine, and that was when all of the terrible revelations of sexual abuse scandals, lies and coverups, about [former cardinal, later defrocked] Theodore McCarrick became the main story, then [former nuncio, later excommunicated] Carlo Maria Viganò's schismatic campaign, then Jean Vanier, then Marco Rupnik. Each betrayal shook our faith. “One woe doth tread upon another's heel, / So fast they'll follow,” says Gertrude in Hamlet, learning of Ophelia's death. Colleen talks about these and the fractured body of the Church, a “crisis of community” as well, among other topics. It's a personal and raw discussion. But these fiery trials might be the proving crucible that has made her faith stronger, wrestling with God, as Jacob did, and throwing plates in honest anger, as Pope Francis recommended.

Fr. John Gordon joins Patrick to discuss Keeping the Faith through Challenges (4:02) - What is the purpose of Challenges in life? How does suffering sanctify us? (17:15) Joseph - I'm going through some anxiety and paranoia right now, but I'm a firm believer. I know I have a great faith in God. Right now as I'm going through some health issues, I pray to not worry, but I still have that fear. I know the evil is trying to work on me. How can I overcome it? (27:00) Break 1 How can we regulate our emotions when dealing with challenging situations? (31:32) Nancy - In 2017, I had been diagnosed with arthritis and other ailments. They didn't have my meds worked out well, and one night my left shoulder felt like a hot stabbing pain. I looked at the crucifix and said, 'Oh dear Lord, how did you ever carry that cross?' I heard a voice that said, 'I saw your face.' I learned you have to be very specific to God. I was in such awe. Then, the pain stopped and haven't had it since. (40:23) Cindy - I'm experiencing challenges with news about my dog. I'm a person of faith and have faith in the Lord, but what do I do when things like this happen in our lives? How do we know if it's a spiritual battle or God's will?

The StoryKeeping the Faith: Prospering the Midst of Dire CircumstancesMichael Cooke03.23.2025

Life doesn't always go as planned. Circumstances come into our lives that we never saw coming: a job change, financial hardships, health challenges, or maybe the loss of a loved one. The list goes on. But in those moments of trials, testing, weariness, and grieving, how can we press on? Is it possible to persevere through everything life throws at us? In this series, we'll look at the biblical principles of how we can press on and endure through the many different difficulties we face in this life. Through God's teachings, we'll see that there is genuine hope when times feel hopeless, and we will learn that if we press on God's way, He will see us through every time.

A listener named Dan asks Father Dave for advice on current struggles in his spiritual life due to politics. Dan says, “I am at a point where my faith is barely hanging by a thread, because so many people I know support political policies that fly in the face of the teachings of Jesus and are based in hate and fear.”

There are no perfect revolutionaries, and Gandhi is no exception, but that doesn't mean we can't learn from their work. So, as Gandhi reminds us, "We must never lose our faith in humanity.”And he's right. We are all connected, we are all in this together, and cooperation is the best bet for winning this thing - for us, our allies, and unfortunately our enemies, too.

6/8: Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial That Riveted a Nation Hardcover – August 13, 2024 by  Brenda Wineapple  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Keeping-Faith-Democracy-Riveted-Nation/dp/0593229924 The dramatic story of the 1925 Scopes trial, which captivated the nation and exposed profound divisions in America that still resonate today—divisions over the meaning of freedom, religion, education, censorship, and civil liberties in a democracy / “No subject possesses the minds of men like religious bigotry and hate, and these fires are being lighted today in America.” So said legendary attorney Clarence Darrow as hundreds of people descended on the sleepy town of Dayton, Tennessee, for the trial of a schoolteacher named John T. Scopes, who was charged with breaking the law by teaching evolution to his biology class in a public school. Brenda Wineapple, the award-winning author of The Impeachers,explores how and why the Scopes trial quickly seemed a circus-like media sensation, drawing massive crowds and worldwide attention. Darrow, a brilliant and controversial lawyer, said in his electrifying defense of Scopes that people should be free to think, worship, and learn. William Jennings Bryan, three-time Democratic nominee for president, argued for the prosecution that evolution undermined the fundamental, literal truth of the Bible and created a society without morals, meaning, and hope. In Keeping the Faith, Wineapple takes us into the early years of the twentieth century—years of racism, intolerance, and world war—to illuminate, through this pivotal legal showdown, a seismic period in American history. At its heart, the Scopes trial dramatized conflicts over many of the fundamental values that define America, and that continue to divide Americans today. 1925 Dayton TN
