Roll initiative for a new episode of The Fellowship of the Mic in the year 2026! We've taken a little hiatus for almost half of 2025, but Shandra is back with some special guest hosts in the new year.In Episode 75, my Filmstagram buddy, Campo, comes on to discuss the Dungeons & Dragons movies. We discuss the poorly reviewed movie from the year 2000 with Marlon Wayans, entitled Dungeons & Dragons, and then of course, the new one with Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez from 2023, D&D: Honor Among Thieves.We discuss a variety of things in this episode: how Jeremy Irons acted his heart out in the former film, how Michelle Rodriguez gained 15 pounds of muscle in the latter film, and why is there not a bad '90s movie, like, at all?

What if real strength isn't found in winning arguments—but in knowing when to lay down your rights?In this New Year's Eve episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, Cory and Channock close out 2025 by unpacking one of Jesus' most misunderstood teachings: meekness. Drawing from Cory's final eBook, How to Sheath Your Sword in a Violent Loving Culture, they explore why meekness is not weakness, but strength under control—and why it may be the posture Christians need most in a polarized world.You'll hear:⚔️ Why “Blessed are the meek” was a radical, counter-cultural statement

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/123125.cfmFather Chris Alar, MIC, confronts a hard but urgent truth drawn from Sacred Scripture and the teaching authority of the Church: the Antichrist is not only a future figure, but a present spirit at work in the world. Reflecting on the First Letter of John, Fr. Chris explains that Scripture speaks of both a singular Antichrist still to come and many “antichrists” already active—those who have departed from Christ by rejecting His Church (1 Jn 2:18–19; NABRE).This deception is subtle. It often disguises itself as independence, spirituality without authority, or self-made salvation. Yet the Catechism warns that before Christ's return, the Church must endure a final trial marked by religious deception that offers false solutions at the price of apostasy (Catechism of the Catholic Church §675). To deny the Church established by Christ is to deny Christ Himself, even when His name is still spoken.Father Chris reminds us that the Church is not man-made, but God-made—founded by Christ, entrusted to the Apostles, and preserved through apostolic authority (Mt 16:18; NABRE). Though imperfect in her human members, she remains divinely protected in her mission. Like Noah's Ark, the Church may feel uncomfortable at times, but outside of it there is only drowning.The answer to confusion is not retreat, but fidelity. Through Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist, God sustains His remnant and strengthens them to remain faithful witnesses. Evil has already been defeated, but souls are still at stake. Our task is not fear, but perseverance—praying, teaching, and living the truth so that others may return to Christ through His Church.“Anyone who knows God listens to us” (1 Jn 4:6; NABRE).To deepen your understanding of the Sacraments Christ gave His Church, explore Understanding the Sacraments at ShopMercy.org. ★ Support this podcast ★

Choose the leader you are becoming, or default to the leader you have been. That is the real decision in front of you as you head into a new year. Most leaders believe change starts with better goals. New priorities. New plans. But if you keep showing up with the same identity, the same emotional patterns, and the same nervous system responses, you will recreate the same year with different tasks. This episode is about breaking that cycle. Episode overview This is Episode 2 of my three-part Design Yourself series on creating the life and leadership you want in 2026. In Episode 1, we focused on self-awareness and uncovering the default stories running your leadership. In this episode, we move from awareness to choice. Because you cannot design a different year if you show up as the same version of yourself. In this conversation, I break down why goals do not create lasting change and why identity does. We explore how identity is formed, how it drives behavior under pressure, and why many high-performing leaders stay stuck by clinging to versions of themselves that once worked but no longer fit. I also share personal stories about releasing old identities and what shifted when I consciously chose who I wanted to become, not someday, but now. Research highlight According to research from the University of Scranton, ninety-two percent of people fail to achieve their goals. One major reason is that they focus on outcomes instead of the identity and systems required to sustain change. Key takeaways • You cannot design a different year if you show up as the same version of yourself. • Identity is not fixed. It is practiced. • Your identity drives your behavior, not the other way around. • Leadership friction is often an identity problem, not a performance problem. • You are designing the experience of you every day. Mic drop moments • Choose the leader you are becoming, or default to the leader you have been. • Goals do not create change. Identity does. • If you do not upgrade your identity, your life will keep bumping up against the same edges. • You are not designing a to-do list for 2026. You are designing the experience of you. If you haven't listened to Episode 1 yet, start there. In Episode 3, we'll talk about how to design a 2026 structure that supports the leader you are becoming, because you don't need a better plan. You need a better practice. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who's ready to stop repeating the same year with different tasks, and subscribe to Reflect Forward wherever you listen.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/123025.cfmThe mystery of Christmas overturns every illusion of self-salvation. God does not wait for humanity to climb back to Him. He comes down.Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC, draws us into this central truth of the Incarnation: Fallen humanity cannot raise itself by its own efforts. Grace is not something we generate. Redemption begins with divine humility.The world repeatedly offers a different promise — especially in modern spiritual movements — that we can elevate ourselves through technique, effort, or enlightenment. But Scripture reveals the opposite. Because of sin, humanity cannot lift itself to God. Instead, God lowers Himself to lift us. As St. Paul writes, Christ “emptied himself, taking the form of a slave” (Phil 2:7; NABRE). Born in poverty and obscurity, rejected by the world, Jesus enters fully into our human condition — without sin — in order to heal it from within.Father Anthony traces this saving pattern through salvation history itself. Humanity fell through the wood of the tree in Eden, and humanity is raised through the wood of the Cross. God is born on wood, works with wood, and dies on wood so that what once led us away from Heaven becomes the instrument that brings us back. Christmas is already pointing toward Calvary, and Calvary toward resurrection.This mystery demands proclamation. The angels announced it. The shepherds ran to see it. Anna spoke of it to all who awaited redemption. Christmas is not meant to remain silent or sentimental. It is the celebration of a God who acts, a God who saves, and a God who does for us what we cannot do for ourselves. To speak about Christmas rightly is to speak about Jesus Christ — the One who came down so that we might be raised up by grace.“Though he was in the form of God… he humbled himself” (Phil 2:6a & 8a; NABRE). ★ Support this podcast ★

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/123025.cfmFather Chris Alar, MIC reflects on the coming Feast of the Presentation of the Lord and the Purification of Mary — a mystery often misunderstood, and sometimes misused, to challenge the Church's teaching on Our Lady. What appears, at first glance, to be a ritual of purification reveals instead a profound lesson in obedience, humility, and grace.Mary did not submit to the law because she was sinful. Her purification was legal, not moral — a requirement of Mosaic law tied to childbirth, not guilt. Just as Jesus did not need Baptism yet freely accepted it, Mary did not need purification yet humbly embraced it. Grace raised her above the law, Fr. Chris explains, but humility placed her beneath it. Together, Jesus and Mary show us that obedience to God's law is not weakness, but witness.The Presentation also reminds us that every child belongs first to God. In the ancient law, the firstborn was not owned by the parents, but lent to them by the Lord. Parenthood, therefore, is stewardship — a sacred trust for which we will one day answer. Faith must be passed on by example, just as Mary and Joseph lived the law faithfully before their Son.Father Chris then turns our attention to Simeon and Anna, the “quiet in the land.” They did not seek power, spectacle, or influence. They waited in silence, prayer, and hope. Their lives testify that holiness is not measured by activity, but by fidelity. This is a special word of encouragement for the homebound and forgotten: quiet prayer, offered faithfully, shapes salvation history.Finally, Simeon's prophecy confronts us with a sobering truth. Christ does not condemn us — we judge ourselves by our response to Him. When His law meets a heart that loves, it lifts us up. When it meets indifference or rejection, we turn away on our own. Salvation is not a one-time declaration, but a daily surrender. Like  St. Thérèse of Lisieux taught, we are not called to climb to heaven by our strength, but to place ourselves in Christ's hands and let Him do the lifting.Grace invites. Humility responds. And the hand of Jesus raises all who are willing to endure in Him ★ Support this podcast ★

Why is the Ascension of Jesus into Heaven a critically important day in the Church? Is it a Holy Day of Obligation? Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, as he discusses this important feast.Become a Marian Helper!Discover more about the Catholic faith on Divine Mercy Plus! 

Father Chris Alar, MIC turns our attention to the Feast of the Holy Family and the profound truth it reveals about God's design for human life. The Holy Family is not a symbol shaped by culture or preference. It is a revelation. God chose to enter history through a family — a man, a woman, and a child — and in doing so, He revealed the foundation upon which both the Church and society stand.Father Chris warns that Satan's most persistent attacks have always been aimed at these two bedrocks: the Church and the family. Marriage is redefined. Gender is redefined. Parenthood is fragmented. Even within Catholic homes, silence has been replaced by constant noise, family meals by screens, and shared life by isolation. The result is not freedom, but fragmentation — a loss of humanity itself.Drawing from Pope Paul VI, Fr. Chris highlights the essential pillars of a holy family: silence, love, and discipline. Silence creates space for God to speak. Love orders the home toward self-gift rather than self-interest. Discipline — rooted in the word disciple — forms children for heaven, not merely for comfort. Parents are not called to be passive observers of their children's lives, but faithful stewards accountable to God for their souls.The family, Father Chris reminds us, is the domestic Church — the first place where obedience, forgiveness, sacrifice, and prayer are learned. It is where children discover who God is by watching how love is lived. Even in broken or difficult situations, God's grace remains active. Single parents, those abandoned or wounded, are not forgotten by the Church. Their fidelity, sacrifice, and perseverance often become powerful witnesses of divine providence.Ultimately, the Holy Family shows us that commitment is not a burden but a mission. Joseph protected. Mary trusted. Jesus obeyed. God became man within a family so that all families might be drawn into the family of God. A holy family, Fr. Chris teaches, is not only our greatest defense against the world — it is our most powerful way of transforming it. ★ Support this podcast ★

Today's message is from Angel Hart. Angel shares a story about Chuck E. Cheese that turns out to be more theological than you'd expect—and reflects on what's been surprising and formative during his time at seminary in St. Louis. At the heart of the message is a simple but challenging question: What kind of theologian are we really—and who is forming whom? Is God shaped by our expectations, or are we being shaped by His Word and the cross of Christ? Mic-drop lines you'll hear today: "The theologian of glory doesn't just live out there—he lives in me." "The Christian life isn't about getting God on my terms, but surrendering to the One who loves me." Let's listen as Angel points us again to Christ crucified—the wisdom and power of God.

Why does the Church place the martyrdom of Saint Stephen immediately after Christmas Day? Father Mark Baron, MIC explains that the tenderness of Bethlehem and the violence of Stephen's death belong to the same mystery: salvation. Christmas is not only the birth of a child; it is the coming of divine light into a darkened world — a light that saves, but also confronts.Salvation is more than a moment. It is participation in the very life of God through grace. Jesus enters the world as the Word made flesh, the Light of truth sent to reveal the Father and restore communion with Him. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (Jn 1:5; NABRE). Yet when truth shines, darkness resists.Saint Stephen, filled with grace and power, lived a transformed life after Pentecost (Acts 6:8). His witness to Christ threatened those who clung to security without conversion. Unable to refute the truth, they attacked the messenger. Stephen, fixing his gaze on heaven, saw Christ standing at the right hand of the Father — the Savior welcoming His faithful witness home.Christmas teaches us that salvation must be endured, not assumed. Jesus Himself warns, “But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.” (Mt 24:13). The Child in the manger is also the Light that exposes hearts, inviting repentance, perseverance, and real transformation.Saint Stephen reminds us that affection for Christmas is not enough. We are called to receive the truth Christ brings, even when it wounds, because within that pain is the healing God desires. To welcome the Light is to allow our lives to be changed. ★ Support this podcast ★

Illinois gun law has evolved through confusion, court battles, and the lived experiences of everyday people simply trying to travel safely with their firearms. In this episode of On the Mic with Mike, Instructor Mike breaks down two landmark cases — People v. Diggins and People v. McDade — that every responsible gun owner needs to understand.From whether a center console counts as a “case,” to whether your gun case needs to be locked, these decisions shaped the way Illinois interprets safe firearm transport. And if you're a FOID card holder, a concealed carrier, a security officer, or someone who just wants to stay on the right side of the law, this is essential training.Instructor Mike cuts through the legal jargon and gives you clear, real-world guidance: • ✔️ What Diggins really decided about vehicle consoles • ✔️ Why McDade changed the meaning of “enclosed” forever • ✔️ The difference between “closed” and “locked” • ✔️ How these cases protect responsible gun owners • ✔️ How people get arrested because no one ever trained themUnderstanding the law is part of being a responsible firearm owner — and too many people are under-trained, not criminal. This episode keeps you informed, empowered, and prepared.This is not legal theory. This is practical knowledge that keeps you free.“This is Instructor Mike — and you've been trained.”

What if prayer was never meant to be a religious performance—and prophecy was never meant to be scary?In this Christmas Eve episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, Cory and Channock reflect on five years of podcasting and dive into Cory's eBook How to Pray and Prophesy in the New Covenant. Together, they reframe prayer and prophecy through the lens of union, showing how both flow naturally from awareness, relationship, and love—not fear, formulas, or pressure.This conversation is an invitation to slow down during the holidays and rediscover prayer as something you live, not something you try to get right.You'll hear:

This is Mic. I realize I've been putting off publishing this episode because this really is it: the very last episode of this podcast. I'm not great at goodbyes and if you know me and my comedy I am anything but brief so I'll just say this before I hit the character limit: thanks for everything. It's been a fun, wild, insane ride and we don't take any of it for granted. We've been so fortunate to be doing this: joking around with our friends, connecting with some amazing guests and most importantly to make ANALs around the world laugh and sometimes think. I am a firm believer in more is more, so you'll be seeing more of us again, in some form, one day. Until then: weloveyoubyeeeee.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Most leaders are not intentionally designing their lives or their leadership. They are repeating patterns they have never questioned. It's time to stop living by default. As a new year approaches, it is easy to jump straight into goals, plans, and resolutions. But when those goals are created by the same unconscious patterns that shaped the year before, you do not get a new year. You get a repeat. This episode is about interrupting that cycle. Episode overview This is Episode 1 of my three-part Design Yourself series on creating the life and leadership you want in 2026. This episode focuses entirely on self-awareness. Not the kind that feels good, but the kind that is accurate. Because you cannot change what you cannot see. We explore why self-awareness is one of the rarest leadership skills, why most leaders overestimate how self-aware they actually are, and how default stories quietly shape how we lead, decide, and show up under pressure. I also share my own default story, the belief that I was not enough as I was and had to constantly prove myself, drive outcomes, and earn my seat at the table. That story fueled success, but it also created exhaustion, pressure, and a leadership style that no longer reflected who I truly am. This episode will help you recognize the unconscious stories running your leadership, understand the cost of living and leading by default, and begin seeing yourself clearly enough to create real change. Research highlight Research published in Harvard Business Review shows that while ninety-five percent of people believe they are self-aware, only ten to fifteen percent actually are. That gap matters, especially for leaders. Key takeaways • Self-awareness is not insight. It is accuracy. • You cannot change what you cannot see. • Default stories often masquerade as strengths. • Unexamined patterns quietly shape culture, trust, and performance. • Self-awareness allows you to respond instead of react. Mic drop moments • Self-awareness is the ability to separate who you are from how you learned to survive and succeed. • If you do not examine your patterns, you will repeat the same year with different tasks. • What you do not see in yourself becomes the environment others have to work in. • Self-awareness says, “That's interesting,” instead of “That's wrong.” • Awareness is where ownership begins. In Episode 2, we will move from awareness to identity and talk about how to consciously choose the leader you are becoming instead of defaulting to the one you have been rewarded for in the past. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who is ready to stop living and leading by default, and subscribe to Reflect Forward wherever you listen.

Proverbs 6 teaches powerful biblical wisdom about identity, discipline, diligence, and the importance of being yourself in a distracted world. In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we explore Proverbs 6 through the simple but profound life lesson: “Just be yourself” — or as my mama used to say, “Just be Kelly.”At first, those words sounded generic, even silly. Teachers said it. Parents said it. I even caught myself saying it to my daughter—until she hit me with, “Duh… everyone else is already taken.” And just like that, wisdom knocked.Proverbs 6 reveals that being yourself isn't accidental—it's built. It's formed slowly, deliberately, and powerfully through diligence, focus, and a calm mind. When your heart is full of love and your life is aligned, being yourself creates confidence, vision, discernment, and the ability to see trouble before it arrives.This chapter also warns us about distractions—often disguised as opportunity or fear of missing out. Proverbs 6 reminds us that staying in our lane, working our land, and not being consumed by comparison is protection, not limitation.What my mama delivered in a simple sentence turned out to be a graduate-level blueprint for life. It took time—and wisdom—for the depth of her words to fully unlock. Most of the challenges I face today can be traced back to moments where I ignored that wisdom.So today, Mama… I hear you loud and clear.Just be Kelly.Mic officially dropped.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/122225.cfmFather Daniel Klimek, MIC confronts a growing indifference toward the Blessed Virgin Mary—even among Catholics—and reminds us that authentic Christianity is always Marian. The words of the Magnificat are not poetic exaggeration; they are divinely inspired truth: “From now on will all ages call me blessed.” (Lk 1:48; NABRE). Reverence for Mary is not optional sentiment—it is a biblical directive.Mary's song echoes the praise of Miriam in the Old Testament, yet now the liberation announced is not political, but eternal. Through the womb of the Virgin, Christ enters the world. She becomes the Ark of the New Covenant, bearing not the law written on stone, but the Word made flesh. To diminish her role is to misunderstand the Incarnation itself.Father Daniel warns that indifference toward Mary is one of the most subtle spiritual dangers of our time. When Marian devotion is reduced to a “personal spirituality,” something essential is lost. From the Cross, Jesus entrusted His Mother to the beloved disciple—and in him, to every Christian: “Behold, your mother” (Jn 19:27; NABRE). This was not symbolic poetry; it was a sacred investiture.To honor Mary never detracts from Christ. As the saints affirm, devotion to the Mother always leads more deeply to the Son. The Immaculate Heart is inseparably united to the Sacred Heart. When we receive Mary into our spiritual life, as St. John did, our faith becomes more profound, more biblical, and more fully Catholic.Mary is not an accessory to the Gospel. She is at its heart. To receive her is to receive one of Christ's final gifts from the Cross—a Mother who intercedes, protects, and leads us unfailingly to Him. ★ Support this podcast ★

Despite what the devil wants us to believe, hell does exist! But why, if God is good, would he allow such a thing as hell to exist, with all its suffering and pain? In this episode, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, helps us to understand that hell is a consequence of the gift of free will that God gave us. Become a Marian Helper!Discover more about the Catholic faith on Divine Mercy Plus!

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/122125.cfmFather Chris, MIC leads us into the hidden strength and obedience of Saint Joseph—a man whose silence speaks louder than words. While Mary's fiat is rightly celebrated, salvation history also depended on Joseph's quiet “yes.” Without it, Jesus would not have had the legal lineage of David, nor the protection and provision of a faithful earthly father.Joseph stands as the head of the Holy Family, chosen by God to guard what was most sacred. Though sinless perfection belonged only to Mary, the Church has long taught that Joseph was sanctified for his mission. Astonishingly, God Himself chose to live in obedience to Mary and Joseph, revealing the dignity of family life and the authority entrusted to fathers.Matthew's Gospel shows us the Nativity through Joseph's eyes. Faced with confusion and fear, Joseph chose charity over judgment. Only after he resolved to act mercifully did God send clarity through an angelic dream. Scripture reminds us that God's guidance often follows—not precedes—acts of trust. “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid” (Mt 1:20; NABRE).Saint Joseph models humility, courage, chastity, and obedience to God's will. As patron of the family and the Church—two realities most fiercely attacked—his role is more urgent than ever. His life teaches us that holiness is often hidden, obedience is rarely loud, and faith is proven in action.Saint Joseph, patron of a happy death, pray for us. ★ Support this podcast ★

  Scripture Reading: Micah 5:1-5a There are many prophecies in the Old Testament regarding the coming of Jesus Christ in His first advent, beginning with a very early reference in Genesis 3:15.  One of the wonderful predictions of the coming of Christ is found in Micah 5.  Micah lived and wrote 700 years before Christ, during a time of rampant wickedness . . . idolatry (Mic 1:7), greed (2:2), thievery (2:2), injustice (3:2,3), falsehood (5:5), bloodshed (3:10).  Micah sounds two great messages in this book . . . the consuming judgment of God, on one hand (1:3,4), and the compassionate mercy of God, on the other (7:18).  Sooner or later every person will face one or the other of these characteristics of the Almighty. In the book of Micah, against the dark background of Israel's failure and Judah's spiritual hardness, there blazes a blinding light of hope in Micah 5:2-5a.  Although the kings of Israel and Judah had not led the people to holiness and peace, a ruler would one day arise who would be like no other.  He would care for His people like a shepherd, guarding them and feeding them in the strength and majesty of God (5:4). It is a message filled with relevance for our time.  Our world stands, desperately, in need of a king . . . and our own hearts need a king.  We need someone to guard us and lead us and feed our souls,  in strength and majesty.  Our hearts yearn for such a sovereign in whom we can safely rest in peace.  We have such a Ruler.  The baby in the manger . . . is the King of Kings.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/121925.cfmWhen God is about to do something great—something that will change lives—He almost always begins with preparation. That preparation is rarely comfortable. It often includes waiting, suffering, and long seasons that seem unanswered. Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC reflects on this divine pattern by drawing our attention to two couples marked by infertility and faith: Manoah and his wife in the Old Testament, and Zechariah and Elizabeth in the New Testament.Samson's birth followed years of suffering, yet his consecration began before he ever took a breath. In the same way, the birth of John the Baptist comes only after decades of hidden fidelity. Zechariah and Elizabeth were “righteous in the eyes of God,” yet they carried a heavy cross. Their story reveals a hard truth of the spiritual life: holiness does not exempt us from suffering. Often, it deepens it.Zechariah's moment of doubt silences him, but God's promise is not silenced. The angel Gabriel declares, “Your prayer has been heard” (Lk 1:13; NABRE), reminding us that prayers offered in faith are never wasted—even when the answer comes long after hope seems reasonable. God works on His timetable, not ours, and His plans exceed human logic.This Gospel teaches us not to ask “why” in suffering, but to trust that God is preparing something greater than we can imagine. As the Church leads us toward Christmas, these Scriptures invite us to prepare not just our homes, but our hearts. Christ does not enter through decorations or schedules, but through faith refined by trust.“For nothing will be impossible for God” (Lk 1:37; NABRE). ★ Support this podcast ★

Together they dismantle fear-based spirituality, unspook the Holy Spirit, and offer a deeply relational, peace-filled framework for recognizing God's voice in everyday life.This conversation is especially for anyone who's ever wondered, “Am I doing this right?” or felt insecure comparing how God “speaks” to others.You'll hear:
