Podcasts about Mother Teresa

What is almsgiving — and why does the Church teach that it is more about justice and right relationship than simply personal charity or philanthropy? As “Preach” continues its Lent 2026 series on the three classical pillars of the season—prayer, fasting and almsgiving—we turn to almsgiving, perhaps the most confronting of the three. In this conversation, Ricardo da Silva, S.J. is joined by Kerry Robinson, President and CEO of Catholic Charities USA., and author of Imagining Abundance: Fundraising, Philanthropy, and a Spiritual Call to Service, a book that reflects on generosity as a spiritual practice rooted in faith.

What does it cost a person to go unseen? And what does it ask of us to truly see one another? In this solo reflection, Corey Nathan explores the moral weight of being seen and the deliberate cruelty of being made invisible. From Marilynne Robinson's Lila to Muhammad Ali's thundering "What's my name?" to Mother Teresa's gaze upon the discarded, this episode traces a thread that runs through literature, history, jazz, and the headlines of this particular moment. When Attorney General Pam Bondi turned her back on Jeffrey Epstein's survivors, when federal agents hide behind masks while the faces of those they detain are photographed and published, when a president plasters his name above John F. Kennedy's, these are not isolated incidents. They are a pattern. And naming that pattern is where the work begins. What would it mean to choose differently? To look at one another the way John Ames looked at Lila? To call each other by our own names?

The team is back to discuss Panini's swan-song in football with 2025 Flawless Football. They delve into the pricing, features, and overall value of these products, highlighting the significance of game-worn memorabilia and the excitement surrounding rare cards. The conversation transitions smoothly from NFL to WWE, with insights on card design and the potential impact of these releases on collectors. The hosts share their verdicts on the products, emphasizing the importance of value in the hobby.   Takeaways: The 2025 Panini Flawless NFL Football is likely the last licensed NFL release before Fanatics takes over. Pricing for the Flawless set has increased, but it still offers unique features like gemstone cards. The hosts express mixed feelings about the value of high-end products in the hobby. Game-worn memorabilia is becoming less common in recent releases, which is disappointing for collectors. The Flawless cut checklist includes notable figures like JFK and Mother Teresa, adding to its appeal. The 2025 Topps Universe WWE cards promise unique designs and multiple themed inserts. The hosts appreciate the on-card autographs in the WWE set, which enhance its value. The pricing for the WWE hobby box is considered reasonable given the number of cards and hits. The hosts emphasize the importance of fun and enjoyment in card collecting, despite high prices. Overall, both products receive positive feedback, with the WWE set rated 4.5 out of 5.

Have you ever stopped to think that every act of kindness — or impatience — is done to Jesus Himself?   In Rise Up – Day 6, Father Meyer reflects on the powerful words from Matthew 25: “You did it to me.”   Through the simple yet profound Five Finger Prayer taught by Mother Teresa, and the powerful witness of St. Polycarp, we're reminded that the Eucharist transforms us. When we receive Christ, we are called to become Christ for others.   What you do to the least… you do to Him.   Let's love boldly. Let's love intentionally. Let's love the Eucharist.   #RiseUp #DailyReflection #CatholicFaith #Eucharist #StPolycarp #LentJourney #BeSaints #CatholicYouTube #FaithInAction

Bishop Vitalii Kryvytskyi offers a firsthand perspective on the war in Ukraine, focusing on children, families, and resilience. Bishop Vitalii Kryvytskyi will offer a firsthand pastoral perspective on life amid the prolonged war in Ukraine, with particular attention to the experiences of children and families. Drawing on his role as Roman Catholic Bishop of Kyiv–Zhytomyr, he will discuss how the Church fosters stability, resilience, and recovery through parish life, youth ministry, and structured programs serving children and families under wartime conditions. The lecture will be delivered with interpretation by Valentyna Pavsyukova, Founder, President, and CEO of Chalice of Mercy, who will translate for Bishop Kryvytskyi throughout the event. About the Speakers: Bishop Vitalii Kryvytskyi, SDB, is the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Kyiv–Zhytomyr, a role he has held since his appointment by Pope Francis in 2017. Born in Odesa, Ukraine, he entered the Salesian Society of St. John Bosco in 1990 and completed his theological formation in Poland, earning a Master of Theology from the Catholic University of Lublin. Ordained a priest in 1997, Bishop Kryvytskyi has devoted much of his ministry to parish leadership, youth formation, and pastoral care across Ukraine, particularly in Odesa, Zhytomyr, and Lviv regions. In addition to his diocesan responsibilities, he serves in several national leadership roles within the Catholic Church in Ukraine, including Deputy Chair of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of Ukraine and Head of its Ecumenical Commission. He is also an active member of the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations, which he led in 2019. His episcopal ministry is guided by his motto, In Iesu Christo (“In Jesus Christ”). Valentyna Pavsyukova is the Founder, President, and CEO of Chalice of Mercy, a nonprofit organization she established in 2007 to advance humanitarian aid, pro-life advocacy, and family support in Ukraine. Born and raised in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, she immigrated to the United States after winning the U.S. Green Card Lottery and became a U.S. citizen in 2010. Her early years in the U.S. included a career in cosmetology, which she left in 2009 to dedicate herself fully to mission work following a profound spiritual conversion influenced by Mother Teresa and St. John Paul II. Valentyna continues her intellectual and spiritual formation through studies at the Theology of the Body Institute and Oxford University's Politics Certification Program. Under her leadership, Chalice of Mercy has delivered extensive humanitarian and medical assistance, including over $80 million in medical supplies since 2022, organized life-saving medical missions, supported hospitals, hospices, orphanages, and families, and founded faith-based educational initiatives such as Saint Maria Goretti Daycare in Zaporizhzhia. A frequent international speaker, she has addressed audiences at the March for Life in Washington, D.C., Ukrainian Week, and major youth and policy forums. She also serves as a Strategic Adviser to the Protez Foundation, supporting rehabilitation and prosthetics for wounded Ukrainian soldiers, and her work has been recognized by Ukrainian and international institutions for extraordinary humanitarian and defense support. **Learn more about IWP graduate programs: https://www.iwp.edu/academics/graduate-degree-programs/ ***Make a gift to IWP: https://wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E231090&id=3

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 4, 2026. 0:30 We break down a deeply troubling decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to let California’s new congressional map move forward for the 2026 midterms without so much as a single dissent. We walk through why the Court is signaling that political gerrymandering is fair game as long as it isn’t explicitly racial, and how Democrats in California used Proposition 50 to wipe out the last illusion of independent redistricting. How do you guarantee a republican form of government when one party can rewrite the map mid-decade to lock in power? We compare California to Texas, revisit past Supreme Court signals, and confront the reality that this may be the rules of the game—even if those rules are poisoning public trust in our elections. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Supreme Court ruled today that the state of California can use its new congressional maps in this year's upcoming elections.That could allow Democrats to pick up 5 extra seats in the house due to massive gerrymandering in the redrawn boundaries. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons is recommending postponing any gender related surgeries until after patients reach the age of 19. The Man who tried to kill President Trump at his golf course in Florida has been sentenced to life in Prison. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We break down Massachusetts’ so-called “Freedom to Move Act” and why, despite the branding, it’s really about reducing how much you’re allowed to drive and quietly limiting freedom of movement. Setting targets for vehicle miles traveled opens the door to fewer roads, less parking, slower speeds, and a growing push to force people onto public transportation whether it works for their lives or not. This isn’t about environmental policy—it’s about government deciding where and how you’re allowed to go. Real freedom doesn’t come from the state managing your movement; it comes from the government protecting your right to move without interference. 16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson how they survived the historic ice storm that shut down much of the South, and what they saw when things got hard. From families stranded for hours on icy interstates, communities without power for days, and everyday people stepping up long before government help arrived. We talk about neighbors using ATVs to deliver food, water, diapers, and gas, strangers helping strangers, and why disasters have a way of revealing both resilience and character. When systems fail and the weather turns brutal, real strength still comes from faith, family, and community—and that given the chance, Americans will show up for one another. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We talk about the post-Dobbs reality, where abortion rates are actually rising in blue states, and why claiming “victory” is either naïve or dishonest. We walk through why leaders like Pope Leo and Mother Teresa were right to call abortion the greatest threat to peace, and why a society that treats unborn life as disposable can never truly be just or peaceful. We also connect the dots between abortion, euthanasia, and assisted suicide, including chilling policies in places like Canada and parts of the U.S. The message is simple and uncomfortable: when a culture abandons the value of innocent human life, everything else begins to unravel. 26:00 We Dig Deep into why the SAVE Act — the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act — should be a no-brainer for anyone who actually cares about election integrity. We walk through what the bill really does: requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and ending online voter registration that’s ripe for fraud in an age of bots and AI. We look at the polling that demolishes the left’s favorite talking point, showing overwhelming support for voter ID across party lines and across racial groups. And we ask the uncomfortable but obvious question: if Democrats insist our elections are secure and only citizens are voting, why are they so desperate to kill the SAVE Act? The answer, frankly, doesn’t reflect well on them — and it raises serious red flags about who they want voting and why. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We take on the NFL’s bizarre announcement that ICE will not operate in or around the Super Bowl and ask the obvious question: since when does the NFL get to tell federal law enforcement where it’s allowed to do its job? We cut through the celebrity optics, activist pressure, and performative virtue signaling to talk about who actually attends the most expensive sporting event on the planet and whether the Super Bowl even makes sense as an immigration enforcement target. The conversation exposes the absurdity of carving out de facto “immigration-free zones” for optics while pretending it’s about safety or compassion. At the end of the day, this isn’t about football — it’s about who really runs the country and whether federal law still applies when celebrities, corporations, and political narratives get uncomfortable. 35:30 We talk about a real bright spot coming out of Republican-led states: serious efforts to cut — and in some cases eliminate — property taxes on homeowners. We break down why no American should ever risk losing their home simply because they can’t keep paying rent to the government, especially after they’ve already bought and paid for it. We connect the dots between rising property taxes, declining homeownership, and the destruction of generational wealth, particularly for young families and seniors on fixed incomes. We contrast red states looking for ways to lower the tax burden with blue states doubling down on higher taxes, and explain why targeted reforms — protecting primary residences while still taxing second homes, luxury properties, and corporations — are about economic freedom, not government handouts. 39:30 We react to the horrifying report that Savannah Guthrie’s elderly mother may have been abducted from her home, with blood found on the porch and her purse, phone, and life-sustaining medications left behind. We talk through the disturbing details, the possibility of a ransom demand involving Bitcoin, and the very real concern for her health and safety. We also reflect on President Trump’s response after being asked about the case — setting politics aside and calling it “absolutely horrifying,” while offering to personally reach out and help. This is one of those moments that cuts past media narratives and partisan lines, reminding us just how fragile life is and why this story stops you cold. 41:00 And finish off with an unbelievable and deeply moving story of survival when a family kayaking trip turned into a life-or-death fight against the ocean. Articles Supreme Court allows California to use congressional map benefitting Democrats Plastic surgeons recommend delaying gender surgery until 19 Man who tried to assassinate Trump at his Florida golf course is sentenced to life in federal prison States Weigh Ending Property Taxes for Homeowners Washington State Dems Introduce Millionaire's Tax, GOP Warns of Risks New Poll Crushes Dem, Media Narrative: Americans Demand Mass Deportations, Back ICE Overwhelmingly The SAVE Act Is Popular, and Democrats Are Terrified of It Trump: "Who Would Not Want Voter ID?

Many times we are thirsty and cry out; but people do not give us water to drink, nor kindness and love; but vinegar and bitterness to drink. But her thirst was very different; it was a thirst for love and compassion and deep intimacy and sharing in his sufferings. Mother Teresa explained that this is a statement from Christ on the cross that always reminds us of the purpose of their ministry. She says: We have written this statement in all the centres so that we do not forget the purpose of our ministry. She emphasises that this ministry was founded to quench the thirst of Jesus, whose ultimate goal is to quench the thirst of Jesus Christ crucified to love the souls of the lost.

We are a world that devours stories. Most people tune in every night to be taken in by the stories others are living or they have created, and the vast majority of these stories are centered about a grand cause. The action and adventure movies and dramas we love so often showcase someone encountering a cause and devoting themselves to it. A cause. Something bigger than themselves that involves protecting or supporting the welfare of something or someone else. Finding and having a cause is often the most profound aspect of a life well lived. But we don't seem to grasp how finding a cause works. We tend to think of learning and training and preparing, so that we can commit to something truly big and worthy. A grand purpose. A cause. My guest today argues, in the most compassionate way possible, we have it backwards, and that the greatest people ever known simply committed to something they believed in, and the journey within it is what made them great. It crafted and honed them. The challenge and trials and triumphs along the way is what refined them. Then the charge is not to commit to preparation, but to commit now and let the commitment prepare you along the way. Lynne Twist is a recognized global visionary and legendary humanitarian.

A grilled cheese sandwich, a tortilla, an auto loan company building, a cinnamon roll, and a forkful of spaghetti are just a handful of the places that images of religious figures have miraculously appeared in the United States. For this episode, we'll tell stories about mass pilgrimages made to quirky apparitions of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and Mother Teresa, and show how some have embraced them as genuine spiritual manifestations while others have turned them into a kitschy, meme-worthy craze.

What does the sanctuary candle really mean—and how can it help our children fall in love with Jesus in the Eucharist?In this powerful and heartwarming episode, we sit down with Catholic author Susan Joy Bellavance to discuss her new children's book from Sophia Institute Press, This Little Light of Thine. This beautifully illustrated story follows the sanctuary candle as it travels from church to church, gently teaching children (and adults) the profound truth it represents: Jesus Christ is truly present in the Tabernacle.Susan explains how the sanctuary candle points us to the same holy reality revealed in Scripture—from God's presence in the burning bush to His dwelling among us today in every Catholic church around the world. The book is a simple yet profound tool to help restore reverence, awe, and joy for the Eucharist, especially in the hearts of our children.But this conversation goes even deeper.Susan also shares the miraculous story that brought this book to life, along with unforgettable personal testimonies from the three years she spent discerning religious life in Mother Teresa's order. Living, praying, and serving alongside Mother Teresa herself, Susan witnessed extraordinary moments of faith, humility, and trust in God's presence—experiences that continue to shape her life and mission today.This episode will:Help parents teach children why the sanctuary candle mattersRekindle reverence for Jesus truly present in the EucharistOffer rare, firsthand stories of Mother Teresa's holiness and miraclesInspire deeper faith through powerful storytelling and witnessWhether you're a parent, catechist, or simply longing to grow in Eucharistic devotion, this episode will remind you that God is not distant—He is here, waiting for us, in every tabernacle.https://linktr.ee/bobbyfred85

You've Never Heard Mary's Story Told Like This - "Mary: Intimate Witness to God's Love Incarnate by Dr. Louis McCall"Mary is about the mother of Jesus and the arc of her development from a peasant teenager to an icon in the church, to a bold witness of the Gospel who journeys from Jerusalem to Samaria, to the mostly Gentile church in Antioch of Syria, and finally to Ephesus, a major metropolitan city of Asia Minor. This book tells the story of Mary in the style as a memoir while still being faithful to the canon of scripture in the hopes that women who seek to have their voices heard in a male-dominated society will find inspiration and strength. Also, all readers will gain a new appreciation for the challenges and fears of Mary, her own need for a savior, and her development into an eyewitness to God's love through his Son, Jesus Christ. Mary shows how one woman can start out simply and yet become a giant of faith and a model of womanhood.Louis McCall was born in Chicago, Illinois and attended Northwestern University where he received a Ph.D. Later, he also attended the National War College of the National Defense University. Louis was an Assistant Professor at the Ohio State University prior to a 36-year career in the U.S. Department of State, first as a Foreign Service officer and then as a foreign affairs Civil Service employee where he served as Consul General in Florence, Italy, Chargé d'Affaires in Brunei, U.S. Representative to the Republic of San Marino, and Assistant Inspector General. He lived in or worked in, at least temporarily, 60 countries on six continents. Whether in academia or as a diplomat, Louis found opportunities to live his faith, including part-time ministry of the good news in word and in song, including co-laboring with missionaries, national church leaders, and the underground church. When ministering early in his diplomatic career from the pulpit of a great church in Calcutta, India, Louis said to those in attendance that he had determined not to be ashamed of the gospel of Christ. That has been a commitment he has endeavored to keep over the years. In his final two years at the Department of State he organized and led the National Day of Prayer observances in the Department.Now, in his new career as an author, he has the pleasure of greater freedom in sharing what God has placed in his heart. Louis is active simultaneously in two churches in Washington, D.C. One is a multi-site non-denominational church, where he is an elder, and the other a Catholic church where he is a regular cantor, though not a Catholic himself. He has managed this with the blessing and full knowledge of pastors and priests. This has been an outgrowth of his early association with a mixed protestant-Catholic charismatic house-based worship group, his association with the late Mother Teresa of Calcutta, his Catholic charismatic wife, and guest ministry in churches and bible schools of various denominations while living in or working in other countries.AMAZONhttps://louismccallinternational.comhttps://www.kingpagespress.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/121825kpplm.mp3     

Send us a textYou know that reflex where someone starts telling you about their awful day, and before you even realize what's happening, you're already three steps ahead trying to solve it for them? Same. Which is why talking to therapist and Yale instructor Leah Marone felt like someone gently holding up a mirror and saying, Honey, look.Leah's book Serial Fixer unpacks exactly why so many of us leap into rescue mode even when nobody asked. And it's not because we're Mother Teresa. It's usually anxiety, overfunctioning, a desperate need for harmony, or an old story we picked up somewhere along the way that says if everyone else is okay, then I'm okay.We get into the three types of fixers and I swear I saw myself in every one. Leah explains why giving advice too quickly, anticipating needs, and being “the glue” in every system slowly erodes our sense of self and keeps us out of true connection. We also talk about resentment, internal critics, and those sneaky moments when we center ourselves in someone else's problem without meaning to.My favorite part is how simple the solution can be. Validating before solving. Pausing before taking the bait. Letting people feel the consequences of their choices. And actually checking in with yourself instead of running around on emotional autopilot. Leah also shares how to handle those internal battles between the part of you that wants to do everything and the part that is exhausted and wants to hide under a blanket forever.If you've ever been called the helper, the dependable one, or the person who magically keeps life functional for everyone else, this episode is basically a warm permission slip to stop carrying the world.What's Inside:The three types of serial fixersWhy helping can quietly shift into controlHow to support without swooping inPractical shifts to reduce guilt and resentmentSo here's the real question. Whose life are you actually trying to keep glued together and what would happen if you stopped for a second? Imagine redirecting all that fixer energy into something that expands your own life instead of managing everyone else's. What would feel possible then?I want to hear from you. Come tell me on Instagram what you're ready to stop fixing and what you're finally choosing for yourself instead.Mentioned in This Episode:Leah MaroneSerial FixerOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

再小的忠诚，都是人生大厦的奠基公式你可能未曾察觉，那些让生命产生分岔的，往往不是宏大的誓言，而是呼吸之间、步履之下的微小抉择。人们读到“在小事上保持忠诚”时，常将目光落在“忠诚”这般庄重的姿态上；然而真正的重心，恰恰是那容易滑过指缝的“小事”。因为忠诚于宏大的理念是容易想象的，而真正的修行却藏在每一件具体而微的事情里——你如何走路，是散漫无力还是踏实沉稳；你如何喝水，是急促吞咽还是从容品味；你学一个句子，是浮光掠影还是字字琢磨。这些刹那的选择看似轻微，却在日复一日的累积中，悄然塑造你生命的质地。《论语》中的“吾日三省吾身”，早已提醒我们于细微处观照自己的起心动念；“勿以善小而不为”更是东方智慧对微小积累的深刻认知。所以，请在小事上保持忠诚——因为你的力量，正源于此。New Wordsfaithful /ˈfeɪθfl/adj.（形容词）忠诚的；忠实的；She has been a faithful supporter of the charity for over a decade.十多年来，她一直是该慈善机构的忠实支持者。strength /streŋθ/n.（名词）力量；力气；优势；长处Physical strength alone isn't enough to complete this task—we need teamwork.仅凭体力不足以完成这项任务，我们需要团队合作。Quote to learn for todayBe faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.——Mother Teresa翻译在小事上保持忠诚，因为你的力量正源于此。—— 特蕾莎修女更多卡卡老师分享公众号：卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信：kakayingyu002送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包，帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路

In this episode of The Mentors Radio, Host Tom Loarie talks with Michael Collopy, one of the preeminent portrait photographers of our time — a man whose camera has revealed the inner soul of saints, world leaders, Nobel Peace laureates, and some of the most recognizable entertainers on the planet. Over 45 years, he has photographed six U.S. presidents, 37 Nobel Peace Prize laureates, and hundreds of global icons — and in the process, he has observed patterns of character, humility, ego, joy, and loneliness that very few people ever get to see up close. Michael Collopy is self-taught, yet mentored by giants like Ansel Adams and Richard Avedon. His life's work has taken him from Mother Teresa's streets of Calcutta, to Pope John Paul II in Mexico City, to Nelson Mandela, to the Rolling Stones in Paris, and everywhere in between. In this episode, you’ll discover what Michael has learned about people — about what truly distinguishes the great from the merely famous, the fulfilled from the restless, and the peacemakers from the performers.  LISTEN TO the radio broadcast live on iHeart Radio, or to “THE MENTORS RADIO” podcast any time, anywhere, on any podcast platform – subscribe here and don't miss an episode!

From Lisbeth Salander to Mother Teresa, Noomi Rapace has never shied away from transformative, fearless roles. In her latest film "Mother", directed by Teona Strugar Mitevska, the Swedish actress takes on one of her most radical characters yet: a young Mother Teresa in 1948, on the brink of leaving the convent to follow her calling. But this is no reverential biopic. "Mother" is raw, provocative, and intimate – a "punk rock" portrait that demystifies the saint and reveals the ambitious, conflicted woman beneath.

Praise Series - Praise Is The Way Out Of The DarknessPsalm 150 “Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his exceeding greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with timbrel and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud, clashing symbols! Let everything that breathes praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!”There is so much power in praising God, and the enemy knows that.  One day, I was talking with some of the ladies in my Encounter class about dryness in prayer and when we feel we are in the darkness.  Have you ever felt like that?  Have you ever felt like you are doing your part, praying to God, and yet you can't feel Him, you can't seem to find Him?  Have you ever felt like He has abandoned you?  You are not alone; this happens to everyone at some point.  We had a speaker at our conference who said that when we feel like God is pulling away, that is not a bad thing; it is actually a good thing.  Damian Stayne said during his talk that when we feel like God is pulling away from us, He is actually just stretching our heart muscle.  If we want to grow in our faith, in our trust, in our love of God, our heart muscles must grow too.  God is helping it to do that by gently pulling away at times and then coming closer.  During a discussion with my friends and classmates, we talked about what we do in the dark times.  One woman said she just had a few days where she felt alone.  In the previous days, she had felt very close to the Lord, and it felt amazing.  Then she entered a few days where she couldn't feel the Lord.  She felt alone.  She said she remembered hearing somewhere that when you are in the darkness, you should praise the Lord.  She decided, even though she didn't feel like it, she would praise the Lord, and in a few days, she came out of the darkness.I may have mentioned this before, but in case you haven't heard it, Mother Teresa was known for her love of Jesus.  She had a very personal, intimate encounter with Jesus on a train once, and it fortified her faith beyond words.  She loved Him.  When others met her, just by being around her, they came to love Jesus too.  Her love for Jesus was overflowing.  Mother Teresa also went through a dark time.  She would go into prayer time, and she couldn't pray; she didn't feel God anywhere.  There were times when she questioned if He existed.  She knew He did, because she had seen Him, yet she didn't feel as if He existed.  This dark period for her wasn't just a year or two; I believe it was more like 50 years.  I saw one place online that said, “For nearly 50 years, Mother Teresa endured what the church calls a 'dark night of the soul' — a period of spiritual doubt, despair, and loneliness that many of the great mystics experienced, her namesake St. Therese of Lisieux included.”Can you imagine that?  Fifty years of spiritual doubt, despair, and loneliness, and those around her did not know.  She did share this information with her spiritual director, but most of those around her would have said she was a happy person, so full of the Light of God.  She smiled often and spread God's joy to many others.  It makes me sad to think she didn't have that joy inside of her.  I pray that none of you listening to this podcast have to endure 50 years of suffering as she did.  You will probably have to endure some times of darkness, times when you feel lonely, you think God has abandoned you, and so on.  When this happens, remember this episode and praise God through it.I believe that praising God more is the answer to so many questions. It is the solution to so many of our problems.  I was praying one time while I was out for a run, and I asked God to tell me what I was doing that was different than others.  I asked Him to tell me why I was able to have such a deep trust in Him, and I really felt like He said it is because I praise Him so much.  I love to listen to praise and worship music.  Ever since I discovered Christian music, I have been in love with it and listen to it whenever I get the chance. Spending all this time praising God has definitely increased my faith. I have also had a practice of daily (or as close to daily as I can get) gratitude.  This has really made a difference, too.  I think both of these help train my mind and keep it focused on the things that are important.  They keep pointing me back to Jesus.If you find yourself enduring what the church calls the “Dark night of the soul,” try praising God through it.  I don't know a lot about the “Dark Night of the Soul,” but I don't think it is typical for it to last as long as it did for Mother Teresa of Calcutta.  I believe Damian said his lasted about 10 years.  However, you can also have dark periods of isolation that last just a few days, as my friend had a few weeks ago.  The timing of it all is up to God.  God has a purpose for this period of isolation, and only He knows when it has done its job.  I don't know that praising God while you are in the Darkness will get you out of the darkness any faster because God has His own timing.  I do believe that it will help you endure the darkness better.  I believe praising God is a great way to step outside your thoughts and focus on Him and all He has done for you.  I am going to read Psalm 150 to you again so you can hear the intensity with which the author of Psalm believes in praising the Lord.  I think the words of the Psalm are the best words to leave you with today.“Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his exceeding greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with timbrel and dance; praise him with strings and pipe!

Hell fears the saints. Men have forgotten this. In this powerful conversation with author Patrick O'Hearn, we confront the reality of spiritual warfare and the heavenly allies God gives us for the fight. Patrick's new book, The Most Powerful Saints in Exorcisms, breaks open what every Catholic man needs to reclaim today: the saints are not passive figures from the past. They are trained warriors who continue to strike terror into demons and aid God's people on the battlefield.This episode is a wake-up call. We explore why demons recoil at the names of the saints, why certain saints appear in exorcisms, the role of relics, and the mysterious way in which the saints continue their earthly mission by assisting us. Patrick explains why Mary is the “closer”, why Padre Pio, Mother Teresa, St. John Paul II, and St. Carlo Acutis are showing up in modern cases, and how every man can build real relationships with the saints who want to fight beside him.This episode challenges you to reject passive Christianity. To stop treating the saints as distant memories. To begin calling on them with confidence, asking specifically for their virtues, and living a life that strikes at hell instead of hiding from it.If you need a reminder that heaven is not silent and that you are not fighting alone, hit play. The saints are real, they are near, and they are powerful. But their help depends on whether you reach for them.Products / Resources Mentioned• The Most Powerful Saints in Exorcisms – Sophia Institute Press • Slaying Dragons Press (Charles Fraune's works) • Deliverance Prayers for the Laity – Fr.

The demons know it's time to leave.” “The saints will take the places in heaven that the demons forfeited. That's why hell hates them.” “If we don't call upon the saints, we slow down our own spiritual growth.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petition, but in thy Mercy, hear and answer me. Amen"'Mother Teresa was flooded with prayer requests, and she had many intentions that she wanted to send up quickly to Our Lady. Her solution? Pray a novena of Memorares. Mother Teresa would pray nine Memorares in a row - and then she immediately added a tenth in thanksgiving for graces received. I can't remember where I first heard about the Emergency Novena, but the graces I have received each time I've prayed it have been tangible and immediate." - Maura Roan McKeegan, Catholic Exchange

In Episode 93, “A Feel-Good Story of a Beautiful Reunion," Seacoast staff member, Ann Meyer shared her story of being reunited with her biological family. Her mother and father made a difficult but loving decision to give Ann up for adoption—an act of deep sacrifice and love for their baby girl.  In this Thanksgiving episode, you'll hear from Ann's biological mother, Donna Radford. Donna shares her heart of gratitude for being reconnected with her daughter, while also reflecting on the grief that accompanied her selfless decision so many years ago. At the top of the episode, hosts, Tomelex Copeland, Roy Jacques, Lynne Stroy, and Joey Svendsen reflect on Thanksgiving, and Roy enlightens the group about the annual dog show that airs after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The four switch gears to discuss Mother Teresa's grief and possible depression, and Joey offers what he believes to be a lighthearted reflection, but it unexpectedly stirs an emotional response in his co-hosts that leads to an honest and meaningful moment of connection as they work through tension in real time. Hosts: Tomelex Copeland, Roy Jacques, Lynne Stroy, Joey Svendsen We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024.

From the moment Maggie Doyne and I joined our Zoom call, there was an instant recognition—a connection of the heart. We share a love of children, the Oregon coast, and a deep commitment to living in service. Interviewing her was a powerful reminder of what's possible when one person follows the quiet call of compassion.At just 18 years old, Maggie took what was meant to be a simple gap year—and turned it into her life's mission. Traveling through India and Nepal, she witnessed a young girl lifting two stones together to build a road. In that moment, she literally said, “I was cracked open”.With her life savings of $5,000, Maggie moved to Nepal and co-founded the BlinkNow Foundation with her Nepali partner, Tope Bahadur Malla. Their vision was clear: to provide children with a safe home, medical care, education, and love—so they would grow into adults with a social conscience and the skills to end cycles of poverty and violence.Working hand-in-hand with Tope and a team that's 90% Nepali, they built a children's home for over 100 kids, a school for 350 students, and a women's center and health clinic for the Kopila Valley community. Maggie's work has been honored with the 2015 CNN Hero Award and recognition from the Dalai Lama.In this conversation, Maggie shares how a single decision changed her life forever—the joys and challenges of mothering 100 children, sustaining her mission through loss, and the importance of working alongside the local community. She also opens up about a period of deep grief that reshaped her path and strengthened her purpose.Maggie Doyne is a modern-day Mother Teresa—a lighthouse of hope redefining what family means in our world today. She reminds us that one person, with an open heart and unwavering commitment, can create ripples of change that transform entire communities.Whether you're seeking inspiration to answer your own calling or simply want to witness love in action, this conversation will leave you moved, motivated, and believing in the power of one heart to change the world.

What happens when four PGA Tour wins feel inadequate, when every public appearance carries the weight of representing an entire community, and when success leaves you asking "am I doing enough?" Professional golfer and NBC broadcaster Notah Begay III opens up about the exhausting psychology of being the only Native American in elite golf and sports.  From a public DUI arrest at 26 that became a crisis management case study, to sobriety, to career-ending injuries and depression, Begay reveals how the relentless pursuit of "enough" nearly destroyed him. This raw conversation explores his transformation from self-obsessed athlete to community advocate through the NB3 Foundation, inspired by Mother Teresa's insight that real power comes through service. Both Alex and Notah mirror each other's struggle with perfectionism, the loss of presence in modern life, and the discovery that purpose isn't found in achievement - it's found in showing up for others. About Our Featured Charity: This season, Alex Perry On Fire is making a monetary contribution to each guest's charity of choice. Notah Begay's charity is The Notah Begay III (NB3) Foundation. The Notah Begay III (NB3) Foundation is a national, Native-led nonprofit dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of Native American youth. Through funding and supporting culturally centered, community-driven programs, NB3 focuses on holistic prevention in four key areas—physical activity, healthy nutrition, youth development, and cultural connection.

In a season of Stillness, but I'm still here. ❤️‍

Many people feel caught in worry, fear, and constant striving—chasing achievements yet never feeling truly fulfilled. The restless “monkey mind” jumps from one thing to the next, amplifying stress and turning setbacks into heavy burdens. It doesn't have to be that way, though. You can move from mindless tasks to a mindful purpose. The shift begins by setting a clear, heartfelt intention rooted in something bigger. When the focus moves from self-gain to contribution, the right people, resources, and opportunities often begin to flow toward you.  In this episode, Reverend Michael Beckwith, Lynne Twist, Jay Shetty, and I talk about how shifting from fear and self-focus to living with intention, surrender, daily spiritual practices, and a purpose larger than oneself can transform challenges into growth, bring deeper fulfillment, and open unexpected opportunities. For over 30 years now, Reverend Michael Beckwith has embraced a practical approach to spirituality and has helped people see the benefits of meditation, affirmative prayer, and life visioning, a process he originated. He has spoken at the United Nations, hosted conferences featuring some of the top thinkers and leaders in a variety of industries, and he is also the founder of the Global Association for New Thought. He is a teacher, a speaker, and the author of several books. He has shared his insights on a number of well-known television programs, such as Oprah's Super Soul Sunday, Dr. Oz, Larry King Live, CNN, Tavis Smiley, and others. Lynne Twist has spent over 40 years working with more than 100,000 people in 50 countries in the realms of fundraising with integrity, conscious philanthropy, strategic visioning, and cultivating a healthy relationship with money. A renowned author and speaker, she has presented at the United Nations Beijing Women's Conference, State of the World Forum, Synthesis Dialogues with Dalai Lama, and the Governor's Conference on California Women. Recognized as a global visionary, Lynne has advised the Desmond Tutu Foundation and the Nobel Women's Initiative. She co-founded the Pachamama Alliance, a nonprofit empowering Indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest to preserve their lands and culture. From serving with Mother Teresa in Calcutta to aiding refugee camps in Ethiopia and protecting the Amazon, her on-the-ground work has given her profound insight into the social fabric of the world and the defining challenges of our time. Jay Shetty is a storyteller, podcaster, and former monk. Jay's vision is to Make Wisdom Go Viral.
