Welcome back to Stay True Podcast! Today, Madi and Grant are diving into a powerful and often misunderstood part of God's character: His discipline. In a culture that loves to talk about God's love but often avoids the harder truths, this episode takes a deep and honest look at why God's correction is actually a form of His kindness. Many of us have wrestled with questions like, “Is God mad at me?” or “Why does following Him feel hard sometimes?” In this conversation, Madi and Grant explore how His discipline isn't punishment, but loving guidance meant to lead us to freedom. After this episode, you'll walk away with a deeper understanding of God's heart and a greater confidence in His goodness– even in the hard moments. Stay you and stay true! Questions/topics discussed and answered: -What is God's discipline and how do I know if he is disciplining me? -Is God being cruel when life feels hard? -What is the difference between God's discipline and the consequence of my own sin? -Can I be in God's will and still suffer? -Is God's wrath still active today or was it just in the Old Testament?

There are times in the gospels when Jesus gives commands that can confuse us – because they seem downright impossible. The Ten Commandments are hard enough – and we know that we'll be imperfect in keeping the Law of the Old Testament. That's why God provided a way out for us in Jesus. So what did Jesus mean in His seemingly impossible commands? Perhaps the truth He wants us to grasp is that He loves us so much that He makes the impossible possible. And we love Him back by allowing Him to help us move in the direction of obedience. WAYS TO LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE:

The Old Testament is filled with violent stories—conquests, commands to destroy, and divine judgment. At first glance, it can seem like God is bloodthirsty or endorses holy war. This message wrestles with the tension of divine justice and human rebellion, exploring how God's actions in history reflect a long-term mission of redemption, not destruction. We'll unpack the conquest of Canaan, the language of total war, and the cultural context of ancient warfare. In Jesus, we see God's ultimate weapon is not violence, but sacrificial love that absorbs evil rather than inflicts it. Connect with Us | Text Us: (650)600-0402

Can someone with a water allergy be baptized? Why do priests receive both species of the Eucharist while the laity often don't? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, we take on some of the most thought-provoking questions about Catholic doctrine and tradition. Topics include evangelizing Jewish people, the theological necessity of Marian dogmas, recognizing divine inspiration in Scripture, and reconciling the joy of heaven with the loss of loved ones. We also address questions about God's providence versus coincidence, and near-death experiences involving deceased relatives. Whether you’re exploring Catholic teachings or deepening your faith, this Q&A offers clear, faithful answers rooted in Church teaching. Ideal for those curious about baptism, Eucharistic theology, salvation, and how Catholics understand prophecy and the afterlife. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:10 – How would the Church baptize someone with a topical allergy to water, where contact with water causes hives but drinking it is fine? 08:15 – Did the Old Testament prophets know they were prophets? Did the New Testament writers know they were divinely inspired when writing? 18:22 – How can heaven be a place of perfect joy if a loved one, such as a child, does not attain eternal life? Wouldn't we notice their absence and grieve? 22:15 – What is the Church's current teaching on evangelizing Jewish people? Does God's promise of the land to the Jewish people still apply under the New Covenant? 29:45 – Why is the Eucharistic cup often withheld from the laity? Jesus instructed us to eat His body and drink His blood. If the host contains both, why does the priest still consume both species separately? 34:58 – Why are the dogmas of the Immaculate Conception, Bodily Assumption, and Perpetual Virginity necessary for salvation from a theological standpoint? What core gospel truths are denied if these are rejected? 43:43 – If someone nearing death sees and speaks to deceased family members, does that mean those individuals are in Heaven or could they still be in Purgatory? What if certain people don't appear—does that imply anything about their final destination? 50:01 – Is everything part of God's plan, or do coincidences exist?

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 47 Gary responds to a recent video by end-times speculator Jonathan Cahn about how we are "watching prophecy unfold before our eyes." This parlor trick is very old and has been used thousands of times by many other end-times alarmists. Listeners must be aware that none of this is new, and the current news cycle does not determine what the Bible means or how we do exegesis.

In a brilliant display of malicious compliance, several cities are outmaneuvering GOP efforts to ban Pride flags on public property by simply making the rainbow banner their official city symbol. This tactical genius exposes the glaring hypocrisy of so-called "small government" proponents who have no issue legislating what colors citizens can fly, while simultaneously defending the divisive, hateful imagery of the Confederacy. It's a bold, "punk as fuck" stand against authoritarian bigotry and religious overreach, revealing how deeply threatened some are by inclusivity and basic human decency. This act of defiance serves as a beacon of hope against the relentless assault on human rights and freedom of expression, reminding us that critical thinking and resistance are vital in a climate where fear and ignorance are weaponized to control.News Source: GOP Fumes as City Outsmarts Pride Flag Ban By Daniel Villarreal for lgbtq nation June 7, 2025

Matthew presents Jesus Christ as the Jesus as the Mashiach Nagid, the Messiah the King, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. It was written by a Jew, to Jews, about a Jew. This book of the Bible uses more Old Testament quotes than any other. The Gospel of Matthew emphasizes the saying of Jesus, including ten parables not found in any other Gospel. After first establishing the royal genealogy, he then goes on to focus on the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. Matthew uses the term "fulfilled" 82 times! Many scholars now believe that the Gospel was written before Paul's first imprisonment of 57-60 A.D., and that virtually all of the New Testament books were written before Jerusalem's destruction. This study contains 24 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 11-01-2006 Recorded: 2006

Look to the Heavens: Faith in God's Promise Today's Homily centers on the dramatic and symbolic covenant scene between God and Abraham, . . . . . . emphasizing Abraham's deep faith despite his childlessness. God showed Abraham the stars in the sky and made a covenant with him. This faith was counted as righteousness. The Homily draws a parallel between this Old Testament covenant and the new covenant brought by Jesus, whose sacrifice offers complete forgiveness and eternal life. Jesus' Covenant Unlike the promise of a physical homeland, Jesus' covenant offers a heavenly one. The Homily encourages listeners to trust in God's promises, especially during fear or uncertainty, by figuratively “looking to the heavens” and believing in God's faithful presence, even when the fulfillment of His promises may not align with our expectations. Listen more to this Meditation Media. Listen to Look to the Heavens: Faith in God's Promise ----------------------------------------------------------- Quote From The Homily Look to the heavens and believe that God is there. Look to the heavens and believe that in Jesus God's promises will come true. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. Certainly not in the exact way you want them. Sorry Charlie. It isn't going to be that way because his plan is so much bigger. But for us to have trust to hope. ----------------------------------------------------------- God‘s Covenant with Abraham . . .

How the Bible Was Formed Q+R (E5) — What is the relationship between the written word of the Bible and Jesus as the Word at the beginning of creation?

Maybe we’re the only believer in our family . . . or the only Christian at work . . . or the only one in our group of friends at school. The odds are against us.
