In this episode of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I sit down with Tess Livingstone—Australian journalist, longtime editor at The Australian, and author of the definitive biography of the late Cardinal George Pell.Tess offers a powerful and deeply informed reflection on the life, legacy, and final years of one of the most consequential and controversial Catholic figures of our time. Drawing on years of firsthand reporting, personal interviews, and her new biography, she helps us see Cardinal Pell not just as a headline, but as a man shaped by faith, courage, and suffering.This episode offers timely insights for anyone seeking to understand Cardinal Pell's impact on the global Church, his wrongful imprisonment, and the future of Catholic leadership.Topics Covered:What Cardinal Pell was really like behind closed doorsHow he handled media scrutiny and public backlash with faith and fortitudeThe truth behind his unjust imprisonment—and the global reaction to his exonerationWhy Tess decided to write this biography and what surprised her along the wayCardinal Pell's views on Church reform, tradition, and the modern worldHow he remained joyful and faithful even in the face of false accusationsLessons Catholics can take from his example today
"If indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good!" This is a great message that helps us to understand the longing for the good things of the Lord. That when we have tasted His goodness, we continue to develop a longing for that goodness, His Word, good works, His love and His church.
Bongani speaks to Africa Report Correspondent, Crystal Orderson, as the World Bank lifts its two-year loan ban on Uganda, initially imposed in 2023 after the country passed one of the world’s harshest anti-LGBTQ laws. Despite ongoing reports of violence and discrimination against LGBTQ individuals, the Bank says new safeguards will ensure funds are used fairly though critics argue the decision weakens global human rights efforts and could deepen financial dependency in poorer nations. Meanwhile, in Zambia, Bloomberg is hosting a high-level gathering of media owners, journalists, and philanthropists in Livingstone to explore how foundations are funding African media. The event focuses on strengthening local journalism, building talent, and measuring impact through collaborative models between international donors and African media houses. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 10th of June, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Genesis 9:1: “So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth”. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”Philippians 4:13David Livingstone is a man that I respect greatly. I have told you before, I like to think that there is a contact there. My mom's mother was a Livingstone before she got married! But David Livingstone was a great explorer, remember he was instrumental in part for abolishing that hellish trade in human flesh, called slavery. He said, “I will go anywhere as long as it is forward.” Can you say that this morning? You say, “But things are tough for me and I don't think I am winning.” Oh yes you are! God has already said to you and me, He is giving us domination over every creature on earth. Read on from Chapter 9 and you will see - all the fish in the sea, all the animals in the field, He has given us domination. Go out and take it!I love that story of John G Lake, the American evangelist who came out to South Africa and did a mighty work here. He said, when you get up in the morning and get dressed and wash your face and you comb your hair. You put on your best clothes to go to work, look in the mirror and the person you see in the mirror, speak to that person (yourself) and say that wherever that man goes today, God is going with him, and then go out and face the day, go out and take the future by the scruff of the neck and say, “I can and I will and God has given me the authority.” You will be surprised how the doors will open. Have a wonderful day, Jesus bless you and goodbye.

As the "building of God", we're called and commanded to display and declare Jesus - always.
David Livingstone är mest känd som brittisk upptäcktsresande under kolonialtiden. Men faktum är att han i första hand var missionär, och på grund av det också motståndare till kolonialismen och slavhandeln. I hans dagböcker möter vi bibelordet gång på gång, och Livingstone levde och dog på Guds löften.

On February 15, 2024, 11-year-old Audrii Cunningham, a fifth grade student at Creekside Elementary in Livingstone, Texas, never made it to the bus stop. And when she didn’t come home after school, her family knew that something was very wrong. Audrii lived with her dad, and on that property, there was someone else living there: a 42-year-old friend of the family’s who lived in a camper. And even though he had a very disturbing criminal record, this man was allowed to babysit for Audrii. Once Audrii went missing, people started taking a look at what was really going on behind the closed doors of this house in rural Texas. We talk about stranger danger, but with this case, sometimes the most terrifying people can be living inside our home.

2 Chronicles 34:8-33 The Recovery of Gods House (vv. 8-13) The Need of the Temple A focused worship toward the Person of God A faithful witness to the presence of God The Neglect of the Temple The insidious kings The ineffectual priests The indifferent people The Discovery in Gods House (vv. 14-33) The Pronouncement The Perplexity The Prophecy Concerning Judah Concerning Josiah The Proclamation More To Consider The Bible is like a telescope. If a man looks through his telescope he sees worlds beyond; but if he looks at his telescope, he does not see anything but that. The Bible is a thing to be looked through to see that which is beyond; but most people only look at it and so they see only the dead letter. Phillip Brooks. I would recommend you either believe God up to the hilt, or else not to believe at all. Believe this book of God, every letter of it, or else reject it. There is no logical standing place between the two. Be satisfied with nothing less than a faith that swims in the deeps of divine revelation; a faith that paddles about the edge of the water is poor faith at best. It is little better than a dry-land faith, and is not good for much. C.H. Spurgeon. "Why is it that the vast majority of Christian believers remain largely unexposed to Christian learning--to historical-critical studies of the Bible, the content and structure of the great doctines, to two thousand years of classic works on the Christian life, to basic disciplines of theology, biblical languages and ethics? Why do bankers, lawyers, farmers, physicians, homemakers, scientists, salespeople, managers of all sorts, people who carry out all kinds of complicated tasks in their work and home, remain in a literalist, elementary school level in their religious understanding? How is it that high school age church members move easily and quickly into the complex world of computers, foreign languages, DNA and calculus, and cannot even make a beginning in historical-critical interpretation of a single text of Scripture? How is it possible one can attend or even teach Sunday School for decades and at the end of that lack the interpretive skills of someone who has taken three or four weeks in an introductory course in the Bible at a university or seminary?" Edward Farley (no relation), "Can Church Education Be Theological Education", Theology Today, July 1985. It is said that when the famous missionary, Dr. David Livingstone, started his trek across Africa he had 73 books in 3 packs, weighing 180 pounds. After the party had gone 300 miles, Livingstone was obliged to throw away some of the books because of the fatigue of those carrying his baggage. As he continued on his journey his library grew less and less, until he had but one book left--his Bible. Today in the Word

Donald Trump made trafficking a huge part of his 2024 presidential campaign, promising to get the TRUTH about the powerful men who raped the children provided to them by Epstein and his associates.And it was all a lie.In the biggest rug pull of 2025, it appears their fiery rhetoric and moral outrage was FAKE AS HELL.Yesterday, FBI Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino appear in what looks like a hostage video with Maria Bartiromo stating emphatically that ‘Epstein Killed Himself” … just trust us bro.The gaslighting here is intense y'all. This is the complete opposite of what they have been alleging for YEARS.On the heels of the Pam Bondi Epstein Binder Debacle, this is more evidence that the Trump Administration has absolutely no intention of pursing justice regarding Epstein and more importantly his criminal network which is likely still in full operation, under new management.Which brings us to Andrew and Tristen Tate. The self admitted pimps, rapists and pornographers and darlings of Trump and MAGA Inc.The brothers are younger, more vicious, violent and sadistic versions of Epstein and are accused of dozens of similar crimes, alleged by almost 70 victims in Romania and the United Kingdom. There are multiple investigations of the brothers pending in the United States.So why is Trump, once again protecting accused child sex traffickers?Last month it was reported that the Trump administration authorized official, diplomatic protection for the Tates via Richard Grenell in his capacity as ‘presidential envoy for special missions' in Munich, according to Romanian officials.It makes absolutely NO sense, unless you understand that Epstein to the Tates, Donald Trump has ALWAYS protected sexual predators. And now, the brothers are going on offense launching frivolous lawsuits against some of the most influential and effective investigative reporters, to intimidate them and shut them up.Today we talk to one of those reporters, Nate Livingstone of Milk Bar TV. We will get a full report on the status of the Tate trials and their strange similarities to the Epstein Network.Join the Rumble LIVE chat and follow my Rumble Page HERE so you never miss an episode: https://rumble.com/c/TheShannonJoyShowSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
1 Peter series message 11Text: I Peter (misc.)"A living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" is the cornerstone of Peter's gospel theology. He goes on to use the word living three more times to paint a vivid picture of the Christine hope we cherish: living Word, living stones, and the Living Stone (who is ready to judge the living and the dead). No surprise here, this message is all about the resurrection.

Föstudagsgesturinn okkar að þessu sinni kemur að norðan, söngkonan og hjúkrunarfræðingurinn Inga Eydal. Inga hefur verið að syngja frá blautu barnsbeini, dóttir Ingimars Eydal tónlistarmanns og Ástu Sigurðardóttir, en Ásta samdi fjölmarga dægurlagatexta við lög sem hljómsveit Ingimars flutti hér á árum áður. Inga söng með hljómsveit föður síns, rak sína eigin hljómsveit um tíma auk þess að starfa sem hjúkrunarfræðingur. Árið 2020 gaf hún út bók sem vakti mikla athygli, Konan sem datt upp stigann, saga af kulnun. Inga hefur í kjölfar útgáfu bókarinnar haldið fjölmarga fyrirlestra um þessa reynslu sína af kulnun og hefur einnig veitt ráðgjöf og stuðning við einstaklinga meðal annars vegna kulnunar, langvarandi veikinda og streitu. Við fórum með Ingu aftur í tímann á æskuheimilið og fetuðum okkur í gegnum lífið til dagsins í dag. Matarspjallið var svo sent út frá þremur stöðum í dag, Reykjavík, Akureyri, þar sem Guðrún var, og Laxárdal hvar Sigurlaug Margrét var.

Harvard is in the news standing up for academic freedom tied to billions of federal dollars withheld for research. But not all science done at Harvard is groundbreaking or even worthwhile. Some of it is just cruel and wasteful. Animal experimenters like Harvard's Margaret Livingstone continue to spend your tax dollars on useless tests that only end up torturing and killing animals. In this reprised episode, Dr. Katherine Roe, a former NIH researcher and now chief scientist for PETA's Laboratory Investigations Department, talks to Emil Guillermo about how researchers like Livingstone build a career on cruelty masquerading as curiosity, including her latest strobe tests with monkeys. Yet Livingstone continues to do her job, even though more than 380 scientists from around the world, including Harvard, have condemned the cruel experiments. For more, go to PETA.org.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 22nd of April, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Luke 3 and I am not going to read that chapter. I would like you to read it, but that whole chapter is the family tree of our Lord Jesus Christ, starting from verse 23 - Luke 3:23. “Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi,…”Do you know that that family tree goes all the way back? You will see in verse 38: “… the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.” That is the family tree of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ. If you go to the Book of John 15:5, the Lord says Himself: “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit…” I am talking today about the family tree. Maybe you are sitting there and you are saying, “Angus, I am an orphan. I don't have any family. Maybe your family has rejected you, maybe your family has died and you feel that you have got nothing. I want to tell you that if you are a born-again Christian, you are not an orphan. You are a son or a daughter of the Living God. Family trees are important to people. I think I have told you before, my family comes from Scotland. My mother's mother was a Livingstone. Have you ever heard of David Livingstone? Of course you have. Well, she came from the West Coast of Scotland and that's where David Livingstone comes from. I would like to believe that I am related to that man who was partly responsible for abolishing the slave trade in Africa. My dad's mother was a Finney, her maiden name was Finney. Have you heard of Charles Finney, the great American revivalist who won many, many souls to Christ? That is my family. I don't know whether it is direct or not, it doesn't matter, but ultimately and more importantly, I am a child of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, my sins have been forgiven, I have got a family tree, a future that I can look forward to. What about you? Let's pray together.Dear Lord Jesus,Today, I am sorry that I think I am an orphan. I am not an orphan, I am a son of the Living God, I am a daughter of the Living God. That is my inheritance and when I get home, you are not going to say to me, “Welcome friend”, You are going to say, “Welcome home, son or daughter of the Living God.” That is something to look forward to.God bless you and goodbye.

Boxing is different. We all know that. We're allowed access into the lives of fighters in a way other sports don't provide with their athletes, and as a result we often feel as though we know them and are close to them. When we lose fighters, and especially fighters we cared for, it sure hurts. On this episode of the Knuckes and Gloves podcast, boxing historians Patrick Connor and Aris Pina team up to remember former heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist "Big" George Foreman, and give a brief tribute to Ras-I Alujah Bramble, better known as Livingstone Bramble.

With thousands of farmers dealing with the uncertainty of the federal funding freeze, we wanted to hear from farmer Gale Livingstone about how the freeze has affected her farm, and some strategies she's employed to deal with the disruption. She's been able to leverage her CSA network and extended farm family through her farm store and email newsletter which are managed by Farmhand. Ari Memar, founder and CEO of Farmhand, tells us about how the Farmhand network has been able to help farmers deal with all kinds of disruptions, from the funding freeze to natural disasters.Gale tells us about how her CSA network stepped in and donated funds to cover some of the shortfall created by the uncertainty. We also hear how people in her community created a new CSA “porch pickup” location with at least 17 new members after hearing the story of how her farm was affected. Ari explains how keeping in contact with CSA members on a regular basis can help them feel more connected to the farm, so they are more likely to want to help out in difficult times. We also hear about how Gale is launching a seedling sale for the first time through her Farmhand store to help with spring cashflow.

"El doctor Livingstone, supongo", es una de esas frases que han pasado a la historia. En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, Un periodista, Stanley, pagó 20 mil dólares por encontrar al explorador británico perdido en el Congo.

We go North of the border this week for the curious story of the dramatic and chaotic origins of the National Hockey League with hockey historian and long-time Windsor Star sports columnist Bob Duff ("The First Season: 1917-18 and the Birth of the NHL"). While today's NHL is a global powerhouse celebrating over a century of hockey history, its very first season (1917-18) was a near disaster. Born out of a backroom maneuver to oust controversial Toronto owner Eddie Livingstone, the league's inaugural outing was anything but smooth. From a player shortage caused by World War I conscription, to the sudden collapse of the four-team-league's Montreal Wanderers after their arena burned down, to competition from the rival Pacific Coast Hockey Association, to various threats of revenge from Livingstone - the NHL teetered on the edge of failure. And yet, against all odds, it survived. "The Duffer" walks us through that unlikely initial NHL season, the struggles that nearly ended it before it truly began, and the league's first-ever Stanley Cup championship - as the "Toronto Hockey Club" (or was it "Arenas" or "Torontos"?) bested the PCHA's Vancouver Millionaires in a best-of-five final. + + + SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=35106 SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): "The First Season: 1917-18 and the Birth of the NHL": https://amzn.to/3XQ1bFR FIND AND FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/

Nous sommes au XIXe siècle, au cœur de l'Afrique. Depuis quatre ans, plus aucune nouvelle du docteur Livingstone, parti à la recherche des mythiques sources du Nil. Le jeune reporter Henry Stanley, envoyé par son journal, se lance sur ses traces. Après des mois d'une traversée harassante des terres les plus hostiles, il finit par le retrouver. Revivez cette quête haletante et leur rencontre devenue légendaire.

2 Corinthians 4:1-6 Please remain standing for the reading of God's Word. By the way, a couple of you have recently asked why we stand for the sermon text and not the Old and New Testament readings. I would definitely like us to stand for all of them, just like the people did in Nehemiah 8 when the Word was read. However, we already stand and sit a lot in our service, as you know. So, consider our standing for the sermon text as a representative standing for all our readings. We stand in reverence to God's Word. Hear now God's Word, 2 Corinthians 4:1-6. Reading Prayer “Dr. Livingstone, I presume.” Maybe you've heard that phrase before. It dates back to 1871. David Livingstone had left Scotland 30 years earlier to travel to Africa. He went there with the London Mission Society and he travelled all over central and southern Africa. But in the late-1860s Livingstone had gone missing. Many presumed he had died. So, a man named Henry Morgan Stanly was sent out to find him. Stanley searched for months. And on November 10, 1871, in modern-day Tanzania, he finally found the missionary. Stanly simply said, “Dr. Livingstone, I presume.” It's hard to overestimate the impact that Livingstone had on Africa. Not only was he a Christian missionary but also a doctor and an explorer. He desired to put an end to slavery. He opened doors of trade in many places and emphasized education. As a doctor, he helped promote helpful practices to treat and prevent diseases. But most importantly, Livingstone brought the Gospel to central and southern Africa. As he travelled, he would learn the different languages of the people he met. He would translate portions of the Bible for them. He would teach the 10 commandments and the love of God in Christ. However, despite all his work and ministry, Livingstone did not experience fruit from his labors. No, in fact, by some accounts, he only witnessed one convert to Christ. One. In 1871, when Stanly urged Livingstone to return to England, he responded, "Oh, when will Christ's holy Gospel enter into this dark region?” Livingstone yearned to see the light of Christ in Africa. Now, if you were in Livingstone's situation, how would you feel and what would you do? If you had dedicated 30 years of your life testifying to Jesus' life and the cross and his resurrection but God had not seen fit to turn hearts to him, how would it affect you? I'm sure, like Livingstone, it would weigh on you. And of course, it is not a theoretical question. Every one of us has family and friends who don't believe. Who maybe are even cynical or hostile to the message. Maybe that is you? Maybe you're here today because of family or friends, but your heart is very skeptical. If that is you, as you listen today, be thinking about two things. · First, yes, your family or friends who believe in Jesus do want you to know and believe in him. But think about this. If you believed in something that you thought truly answered life's deepest questions, would you not want your friends and family to know and believe? Questions of existence, meaning, morality, life, and death. Yes, I think you would. If you truly believed something that important, you would want to share it out of love. It's something to think about. · Second, be thinking about what is preventing you from believing. Is there a deep-down reason that you are skeptical? If so, try to listen anew to the message of Christ. Maybe there something new to hear. I mention that to be sensitive. These verses are written to believers in Christ. And in part, they speak about people who do not believe. I don't want you to feel ignored or dismissed. Going back to Livingstone. I have no idea if he ever compared his situation to 2 Corinthians chapter 4. Maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. But if you were to pick a chapter in the Bible that describes Livingstone's situation best, it would be 2 Corinthians chapter 4. Really, the whole chapter. But in particular verses 1-6. What I mean is that 2 Corinthians 4:1-6 is about faithfulness to ministry and mission. It's about remaining true to Christ even when the message is rejected. Livingstone faithfully continued in his ministry even though the hearts of those to whom he was ministering to were closed. In fact, Livingstone was a Scottish Presbyterian… that means he believed in God's sovereignty in salvation. And with that confidence, he persevered. Livingstone knew that God is the one who changes hearts and minds. It is God who shines his light of knowledge and glory. Despite the burden of seeing little response, yet he pressed on in faithfulness. As we work through these verses, I think you will see the parallels to Livingstone's ministry. We have three main points this morning. You'll see those on the sermon notes page. Point 1. Do not lose heart - that is verses 1-2 and 5. Point 2. Because of veiled and deceived hearts (verses 3-4) Point 3. For it is God who shines his Gospel light on hearts (verse 6) Let me put that together. (1) Do not lose heart (2) because of veiled and deceived hearts (3) for it is God who shines his Gospel light on hearts 1. Do not lose heart (4:1-2, 5) As we get into this, let me first remind you of a couple of related things that the apostle Paul has already written. Back in chapter 2 he wrote that we are the aroma of Christ. That aroma is one that will lead to life for those being saved. But it is also the aroma of death to those who do not believe. Some will believe and some will reject. That same theme is continued in chapter 3. Remember from last week, the old covenant has been fulfilled in the new. The glory of the old is gone, because the new covenant in Christ has come. However, many hearts are still veiled. And that veil, as Paul says, is only lifted by Christ through his Spirit. When Paul begins chapter 4 with the word “therefore” he is referring to the fact that many will hear but not hear. Many hearts will be veiled. The aroma will not be pleasing but the opposite. He says in verse 1, “Therefore having this ministry by the mercy of God.” That ministry, as a reminder, is the ministry of the new covenant. It's proclaiming Christ. And in that ministry, Paul continues, “we do not lose heart.” As I mentioned, when you believe something deeply, you, of course, desire others, especially those you love, to also believe. You want them to know the love of God in Christ. You want them to see the hope and forgiveness and mercy of God. But often, they do not. Paul is not saying we shouldn't continue to long and desire others to believe. Rather Paul is saying that we should not lose our motivation and our focus in our ministry. “Do not lose heart.” And essentially the next 5 verses explain why and give a word of warning. L me ask. What temptations do you experience when your words seem to have no impact? A couple come to my mind. Sometimes I feel like a failure. Sometimes I'm tempted to want to stop. But what about this temptation: are you tempted to change the message? If the message doesn't appear to have any effect, are you tempted to want to change it so that it will? That is what was happening in Corinth. We get a clear sense of that in verse 2. Paul says, “we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God's word.” Paul's opponents were changing the message. They were tampering with God's word. The message was no longer the message. They reverted to whatever methods and messages would work. Do you remember that phrase “peddler” at the end of chapter 2? That is what was happening. They were saying whatever they thought the people wanted to hear so that people would respond. They wanted to get a sale, so to speak, and they were using disgraceful ways. Now, we're not told exactly what their distorted message was, but based on what Paul says elsewhere in 2 Corinthians, it undermined truth faith. For example, in chapter 11 verse 4, Paul warned, “For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough.” To some extent the church was putting up with a different Jesus, a different Spirit, or a different gospel. It's a great temptation. There are difficult things in the message of Christ. Because of that, we are tempted to change part of the message, or even more common, leave things out. Like leaving out God's wrath or the need for repentance. But when you leave out the reality of our sin and God's hatred of it because of his holiness and justice, you are undermining the Gospel message. You are removing the cross from Christianity. Let me also add, when you remove the wrath of God against sin and the sinner, you also remove the love of God. The amazing depth of God's love offered in Jesus comes because of the real gravity of God's condemnation. If you remove God's wrath, you remove God's love. I was reminded of a well-known quote from Richard Niebuhr, which I think I've quoted before. “A God without wrath brings men without sin into a kingdom without judgment through a ministry of a Christ without a cross.” It's no longer the message of Christ. Now, we do other things today to pervert the message of the Gospel. We turn Christianity into social reform and not salvation. Or Christianity becomes an agenda-based message of liberation or justice. To be sure, justice is critically important. God loves justice and hates oppression. But, as we learned last year in our Proverbs study those things need to be understood through the lens of what God has defined as good and right and true. So then, what is the central message of Jesus Christ? It is this: the need for all humanity to be reconciled to God. All have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. All are condemned. But God, because of the great love with which he loved us, even though we were dead in our sin, God made us alive together with Christ. And he accomplished that through the perfect and ultimate sacrifice for sin on the cross and through the hope of the resurrection. The only way to receive that reconciliation is by faith when we see our sin, when we grieve because of it, and give our life to him. The word “gospel” there in verse 3 means good news. That is the Gospel message. In verse 2, Paul says that instead of tampering with God's word, they proclaim it, as he puts it, “the open statement of the truth.” Paul and those with him were not not hiding or manipulating anything in the message. And look at verse 5, Paul affirms that they are proclaiming the central message. He says, “For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord.” Unlike his opponents who were exalting themselves, Paul and Timothy and the others were humbly exalting Jesus. The word “Lord” implies that Jesus Christ is the sovereign one. He's the risen king. He is to be the Lord of our lives. So do not lose heart. And do not practice underhanded ways or distort the message. Rather, be faithful to God's Word. 2. Because of veiled and deceived hearts (4:3-4) That brings us to Point #2. Do not lose heart… because of veiled and deceived hearts. Listen again to verse 3 and the first part of 4. Paul writes, “And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world [in other words, the devil] has blinded the minds of the unbelievers.” We get the sense from verses 3 and 4 that Paul's detractors questioned his legitimacy because of a lack of effectiveness. In other words, they were saying “Paul's message was not working and the proof is that people weren't responding.” To be sure, there were many who did respond. But there were also many who didn't. To go back to David Livingstone for a moment. He also was critiqued because of a perceived ineffectiveness. In fact, there was a group in Britan who critiqued him because his message was outdated. He needed, as they said, a “new” message and he needed an expanded message. His problem was his approach. That's similar to the critiques against Paul. Paul's response here is very important. The message is not being responded to… not because there's a problem with the message. No, rather, the message is not being responded to because of veiled hearts. And that veiling is because the god of this world (lowercase “g” god) has deceived. It's very tempting to think that we are responsible to remove the veil… That we are the responsible ones when the veil is not removed. But to say it again, our responsibility is to be faithful to the message. And, just to be sure, we need to listen well. We need to be thoughtful and loving in our response. But we should not compromise the truth of Christ. Again, I want to be sensitive if you are here and you put yourself in the category of unbelief. Let me ask, why is your heart hard to this message? What is the reason, the veil that lies over it? Would you be willing to ask the Lord to remove that veil? Would you be willing to reexamine your heart and reconsider the message? Every single one of us was blind at one point – I'm using that word blind from verse 4. We were blind for many reasons. It all goes back to our unbelief and selfishness. Back when God created man, it was Satan who deceived. The devil questioned God's authority. He questioned God's moral command. And Adam and Eve in their sin, they replaced God who had been the center of their lives, with themselves. And from that point on, all of mankind was blinded. And what are we blinded from in our unbelief? We are blinded from seeing God's remedy to restoring our relationship with him. We are blinded from seeing Christ. That is exactly how Paul describes the blindness brought on by Satan. Second half of verse 4. Satan has, it says, “keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” Satan is called the great deceiver. But there is one who is greater than him. 3. For it is God who shines his Gospel light on hearts (4:6) And that brings us to point #3. So, do not lose heart because of veiled and deceived hearts. Why? For it is God who shines his Gospel light on hearts. Verse 6 is the climax in these verses. “For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,' has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” Did you notice the shift in the object of the sentence? It shifts from third person plural to first person plural. Paul had been talking about the veiled hearts of others. He now talks about his own heart and Timothy's heart. God “has shown in our hearts.” He has shown his light. The reference to shining light in darkness refers all the way back to the creation account. We read it earlier from Genesis 1. The very God who created all things, who created all things ex nihilo - out of nothing – created light. In fact, his very first act of creation was to create light in darkness… because he is the God of light. He illuminates all things. He sees all and nothing is hidden from his sight. He is the one who has shone his light in our hearts. Do you see what this is saying? Because God is the all-powerful creator God, there is no heart whom he cannot penetrate with his light. And the testimony of that truth is his work in us. The one true God who in creation shone the light of his truth in the whole of the universe is the same one doing a work of re-creation in our hearts. He is illuminating the light of the knowledge of his glory in us. And that light which illuminates hearts is the light of Christ. By the way, the idea of light is found all throughout the Scriptures. Light symbolizes God's glory (which is referenced here). Light refers to God's truth like the reference here to the knowledge of God. Light also refers to God's presence and his holiness and his guidance. All those references are fulfilled in the light of Christ. That's how verse 6 ends… “the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” …the presence and fullness of the revealed son of God. For Paul, this is not something theoretical. No, for him, it was deeply personal. His heart had been veiled. So much so that not only did he reject Jesus, but Paul hated him and hated those who loved Jesus. But Paul was confronted by the light of Christ. For him, it was a literal light. Paul was physically blinded, but the veil over his heart was removed… and Paul could truly see. He fell to his knees. Jesus asked, why Paul are you persecuting me? And Paul then acknowledged him as Lord. God is the one who did it. Paul's spiritual blindness was removed by God. He is the one who shines his light on hearts. Perhaps the transformation in your heart didn't seem as radical. Perhaps over time the Lord lifted it. Perhaps you remember the very day and hour that the veil was removed. Or perhaps God is removing it even now. God is the only one who can shine the light of his knowledge and his glory on our hearts. We don't lose heart because we know that God is at work in hearts. We just don't know how and when and on whom he will shine his Gospel light. Conclusion David Livingstone died on May 1, 1873 while still in Africa – it was only two years after meeting Stanley. His body was found next to his bed in a position of prayer. And do you know what they did? They buried Livingstone's heart in Africa. He loved the people there. And they brought his body back to England where he was buried in Westminster Abby. In his lifetime, Livingstone saw very little response to his efforts. Despite the veil over so many hearts, yet he was faithful to shine the light of Christ. Little did he know at the time, but God was at work in Africa. After Livingstone died, God saw fit to use Livingstone's labors in a tremendous ways. Even in the decade after his death, the veil was lifted on thousands and thousands who turned to Christ. Even more, through Livingstone's work and expeditions, the door was opened to more missions work. Today, hundreds of millions of Christians can trace their spiritual legacy back to Livingstone. In our lifetime, we may or may not see what God is doing, but we can have hope because he is the God of light. May we not lose heart. May we not tamper with the message. Instead, may we trust in the God of light, to shine the light of Christ.

George Cardinal Pell was a faithful, formidable, and fearless prince of the Church who lived a remarkable life… as a seminarian in Rome during Vatican II, as a reformer of Australia's seminaries, in his years in China (in disguise!), at the Secretariat of the Economy (where he uncovered 1billion euros off the books), and the years spent wrongfully imprisoned before his acquittal and vindication… Tess Livingstone has written a wonderful biography of the rugged and resilient Australian, and she joins Bishop Caggiano to talk about Cardinal Pell (who Bishop also knew!)… I really enjoyed listening to this conversation and learning about His Eminence, who passed away just over two years ago. Also, please allow us to highlight two important (and fun) events coming soon to our area: 1) Mark Schultz concert at Fairfield University on Fri, March 14th to benefit Malta House and 2) March for Life in Hartford on Wed, March 19th LINKS Email List: https://www.veritascatholic.com/ Tess's Book: https://ignatius.com/george-cardinal-pell-gcpbh/ Malta House Event: https://www.maltahouse.org/event/2025-mark-schultz-concert-to-benefit-malta-house CT March: https://marchforlife.org/connecticut/

This episode is for anyone interested in behavioral psychology, eating disorder recovery, or just looking for a candid conversation that challenges traditional expert opinion.
