Matthew 5:13-20 • The 5th Sunday after the Epiphany

A Light in the Darkness by Pastor Josh Robinson.Recorded February 8, 2026.

Have you switched the light on in your faith? Drawing from Matthew 5 and the Sermon on the Mount, Dr. Sri explores what Jesus truly meant when He called His disciples to be salt of the earth and light of the world. Unpacking the historical world of first-century Judaism—with its political turmoil, Roman oppression, and competing religious responses—Dr. Sri emphasizes Jesus' powerful message centered on wholehearted surrender to God. _ _ For full shownotes, visit Ascensionpress.com/Allthingscatholic, or text ALLTHINGSCATHOLIC to 33-777 for weekly shownotes sent to your inbox.

In this intimate conversation, I sit down with longtime friend and community member, Rev. Erin Goodman, for a raw and meaningful dialogue about suicide, healing, and the lived experience of mental illness. Erin shares her personal journey through acute crisis and her path forward, now working within the healthcare system to train clinicians and advocate for peer-led, trauma-informed support. We talk openly about what it really feels like to be in the dark, how stigma keeps us silent, and what it means to rebuild a life worth living. Whether you or someone you love has faced suicidal thoughts, or you simply want to show up better for others, this episode is an invitation to witness, understand, and begin the brave work of talking about what's often left unsaid. 3 Takeaways for Listeners: Lived experience is powerful medicine. Erin's story shows how what once nearly ended her life is now at the heart of her work—and why sharing your truth might help someone else stay alive.We don't need perfect answers, just presence. Sitting with someone in their pain is more powerful than trying to fix it.Hope lives in connection. Real recovery happens in relationship—with peers, professionals, and people who see you as whole even when you feel broken. Timestamps: 00:00 – Opening thoughts on why we need to talk about suicide openly 05:34 – Erin's personal journey through acute mental illness and hospitalization 13:10 – What people misunderstand about suicidal ideation 21:52 – The shame and silence around suicide in families and communities 27:36 – How cultural and spiritual beliefs impact how we talk (or don't talk) about suicide 34:03 – What helped Erin in recovery—and what didn't 42:45 – Creating safety plans and the role of peer support 51:22 – Working with clinicians: what Erin teaches in the healthcare system 59:10 – The importance of presence over fixing 01:04:30 – The gifts and boundaries of lived experience 01:11:19 – Hope, recovery, and what's changing in mental health care 01:16:40 – Final reflections and encouragement to keep talking Want more?

An astrophysicist chronicles his quest to photograph a black hole and reflects on its spiritual ramifications in this international-bestselling memoir. On April 10, 2019, award-winning astrophysicist Heino Falcke presented the first image ever captured of a black hole at an international press conference—a turning point in astronomy that Science magazine called the scientific breakthrough of the year. That photo was captured with the unthinkable commitment of an intercontinental team of astronomers who transformed the world into a global telescope. While this image achieved Falcke's goal in making a black hole "visible" for the first time, he recognizes that the photo itself asks more questions for humanity than it answers.Light in the Darkness takes us on Falcke's extraordinary journey to the darkest corners of the universe. From the first humans looking up at the night sky to modern astrophysics, from the study of black holes to the still-unsolved mysteries of the universe, Falcke asks, in even the greatest triumphs of science, is there room for doubts, faith, and a God? A plea for curiosity and humility, Light in the Darkness sees one of the great minds shaping the world today as he ponders the big, pressing questions that present themselves when we look up at the stars.

Message from Pastor AJ SwansonMatthew 17:1 - 13

Christmas Eve | Isaiah 9:1-7 | Jake Hering

And Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”

Depression can be a dark place and hope can seem fleeting, but hope has a name that can overcome: Jesus, our light in the darkness! David shares his testimony and some verses from the Bible as He points us to the One who has the power in the midst of our weakness to win the battle he had with depression, and we pray it can help you do the same! "But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9

A homily delivered on Christmas Eve by Jonathan Anstett. The passages for the day were - Isa 9:1-7; Ps 96; Titus 2:11-14; Luke 2:1-20.

When the decorations come down and the celebrations fade, the story of Jesus' flight to Egypt reminds us that God entered a world of real suffering. Followers of Jesus are called to keep carrying his light into dark places instead of packing him away with the Christmas decorations.

Message from Andrew King on December 28, 2025

A Christmas Eve sermon on the power of words, the incarnation of God's Word in Jesus, and how peace, hope, joy, and love shape the way we speak and live in a divided world.

In the fourth and final episode of Promised & Fulfilled, hosts Greg and Nathan turn to one of the most hope-filled promises in all of Scripture. In “A Light to the Nations: Isaiah's Vision of Redemption,” they explore Isaiah 9 and the breathtaking declaration that a great light would shine on people walking in darkness. Spoken into a time of judgment, fear, and uncertainty, Isaiah's prophecy points forward to a coming King—one whose reign would bring peace without end. Greg and Nathan unpack how this promise finds its fulfillment in the birth of Jesus Christ, announced to the shepherds as “a Savior… who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11) and revealed as the true light who overcomes the darkness (John 1:4–5). This episode explores: The historical and spiritual darkness surrounding Isaiah's prophecy The meaning behind the messianic titles: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace How Jesus embodies the light, peace, and righteous rule foretold by Isaiah What it means to live today in the tension of the “already and not yet” of Christ's kingdom As the series concludes, this conversation invites listeners to rejoice that the light has already come—and to live with hope as we await the full and final fulfillment of His eternal reign. “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.” (Isaiah 9:2, ESV)

This Sunday, Pastor Curtis wraps up the series with part 3 of “A Light in the Darkness,” pointing us to the truth that God's light often shines brightest through inconvenient, unexpected moments. Through the stories of Mary, Joseph, and Elizabeth, we're reminded that Emmanuel—God with us—writes our narrative and calls us to trust His light even when it exposes more than it attracts.

Rabbi Nolan Lebovitz and Rabbi Ed Feinstein discuss the terrible news of the last week and how Hanukkah can be the answer to moving forward.

On the eve of Chanukah, the world learned of the horrific terror attack in Sydney, Australia. Hours later, Israel Hour Radio was on the air, ready to play jolly, happy, upbeat songs in honor of Chanukah. How do we celebrate one of the joyous holidays of the year against the backdrop of tragedy? By doing what we always do...singing. Because at Israel Hour Radio, we sing in good times and bad. We sing through the pain. No matter how dark the world may be, we don't stop singing - because THAT'S how we bring light into a dark world. Enjoy a week of Israeli Chanukah music - and continue spreading light, long after Chanukah is over.
