Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, takes a look at the impact world-renowned pop singer, Taylor Swift, is having on generations of young people. The lyrics to her songs are vulgar and mock God and Christians. It is one thing to expose young people to lyrics that are different than what Christians believe, but it is another thing to expose them to lyrics that actually mock what Christians believe. Dr. Hall acknowledges that many Christians and their children listen to Swift's music and uses this fact to ask what true Christians are. Dr. Hall argues that God does not actually want us to be good but is calling us to be much more. It is pointed out that being a good person is not what gets you to heaven. Dr. Hall discusses how all Christians are called to make disciples and that means we must talk to others about Jesus.

The statement "No man can stop what God has ordained" reflects a common theological belief, rooted in biblical scripture, that God's divine plan and will are ultimately unstoppable. It is expressed as a declaration of absolute confidence in God's sovereignty, suggesting that no human effort, opposing force, or circumstance can thwart His determined purposes. A key biblical passage often cited is Isaiah 14:27, which states, "For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?". For believers, this concept offers both a warning to not set themselves against God's will and a comfort, assuring them that His redemptive plan cannot be hindered and His purposes are perfect and unstoppable.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, analyzes comments made by rapper and record producer, Snoop Dogg on the podcast, “It's giving.” Apparently Snoop Dogg was taken aback by a scene in the children's movie, Lightyear, that features a lesbian couple kissing and discussing their baby. His profanity laced comments made it clear that he did not think this kind of content is appropriate in children's movies. Dr. Hall uses this platform to talk about children being targeted in movies, books and libraries by the LBGTQ community. He points out how homosexual lifestyles are permanently embedded in our society and then describes how parents and grandparents should be responding to this environment. It is pointed out that sexual brokenness is all around us and for that reason we should be preparing our children to understand that God is calling his followers live different from what others choose to do.

In this thought-provoking conversation, Catherine Toon hosts Dr. Matt Pandel (psychologist and theologian) and Paul Young (author of The Shack), as they dive into the powerful themes of Matt’s newest book "Fractured Witness." This work boldly recognizes the Church’s (Ekklēsia’s) fractured legacy—how faith has been used to justify harm, and how true redemption calls us back to the real Jesus and the reality of what the Church was always meant to be. You’ll hear deeply personal stories, theological reflections, and honest critiques of systems that distort the face of God. From the misuse of scripture to the weaponization of religion, we are invited to sit in the discomfort—and from that sacred space, rediscover a gospel of relentless love, healing, and reconciliation, that can and is occurring through the evolving beautiful healthy church, the way she was meant to be. ✨ If you’ve been wounded by the Church or are seeking to reconcile faith with truth, justice, and compassion and practical suggestions operate in community as God’s life-giving Church, this episode is for you. A behavioral psychologist and theologian, Dr. Matt Pandel is first and foremost a communicator. Ordained in the Anglican/Episcopal tradition, he remains fiercely ecumenical, believing the Church is best when she honors all of the traditions and expressions from which she is formed. In addition to his work as President and Professor of Trinitarian Theology and Spiritual Direction at Global Grace Seminary, he maintains a private consulting practice and serves as a regional mental health policy advisor. He resides in the picturesque Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with his wife and best friend, Carrie.

Acts 6 and Acts 13 both mention that the church leaders “laid hands” on the new servant leaders before sending them to the work. The official term for that is ordination – a physical symbol of a spiritual reality that confirms the work of the Spirit and identifies the new person as one with the … Continue reading Ordained to Serve →

32 Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.Nolite timere pusillus grex, quia complacuit Patri vestro dare vobis regnum. 33 Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth.Vendite quae possidetis, et date eleemosynam. Facite vobis sacculos, qui non veterascunt, thesaurum non deficientem in caelis : quo fur non appropriat, neque tinea corrumpit. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.Ubi enim thesaurus vester est, ibi et cor vestrum erit.St Philip was born at Florence of the noble family of Benizi. He entered the Order of the Servites as a lay brother. Ordained a priest, he was made General of his Order.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, discusses the role of fruits in the creation story. He explains the difference between fruits and vegetables and the important role of fruits in the lives of humans. Dr. Hall points out that God commanded Adam to not eat from the tree of good and knowledge in the midst of the garden of Eden. He recounts the biblical story of Eve being tempted by the serpent to eat from this forbidden tree that resulted in both Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit. It is pointed out that the Bible often uses the metaphor, fruit, to describe the produce of our lives. Dr. Hall explores the fruits of the spirit as described in Scripture. The act of love and grace exhibited on the cross means that Jesus owns us and has the right to expect that we will bear fruit.

Rev. Dr. Matthew Harrison, president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, takes some time during the Gathering to talk about Christ's life and Christian love for all human life.   Bio: The Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison has served as president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) since 2010. As president, he is the chief ecclesiastical supervisor of the Synod and is responsible for the ministries directed by LCMS International Center staff, including the Office of International Mission and its nearly 150 missionaries serving around the globe. Before becoming president, Harrison served for nine years as executive director of LCMS World Relief and Human Care (2001–2010), which expended over $100 million for mercy efforts done in the clear name of Christ. These efforts included caring for people after 9-11, Katrina and many hurricanes, the great Asia tsunami, the Haiti earthquake, and many other disasters and humanitarian efforts. Harrison also managed relationships with some 120 LCMS Recognized Service Organizations and other inter-Lutheran social ministry organizations, worked in consultation with LCMS partner/sister churches to build capacity during numerous mercy outreach efforts, and managed LCMS pro-life efforts. From 1995 to 2001, Harrison served as pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, Ind. Prior to that, he served St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Westgate, Iowa (1991–1995). Ordained in 1991, he has served in a number of elected and appointed positions in the LCMS and on various entity boards of directors. Harrison is co-founder and chairman of the board of The International Lutheran Society of Wittenberg (Old Latin School), which hosts some 40 students and church planters from the European Union and beyond who are studying to become ordained pastors. In addition, Harrison chairs the board of the Lutheran Center for Religious Liberty and serves on the executive committee of the International Lutheran Council. Harrison is also active in the prolife movement and frequently speaks at such events. A native of Sioux City, Iowa, Harrison holds a bachelor's degree in religious studies from Morningside University in Sioux City, Iowa. He attended Concordia University, Nebraska, in 1984. He has M.Div. and S.T.M. degrees from Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. Harrison has pursued additional graduate study at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, and Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. Furthermore, he has received honorary doctorates from Concordia University Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor, Mich., and Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne. Since 2010, Harrison has served as assistant pastor of Village Lutheran Church, Ladue, Mo. He has translated and edited five volumes of essays and letters by Lutheran theologian Hermann Sasse (published through Concordia Publishing House [CPH]). He has also revised C.F.W. Walther's The Church and the Office of the Ministry (CPH) and written several other books, including Christ Have Mercy, A Little Book on Joy and At Home in the House of My Fathers. Harrison has been married to Kathy (Schimm) Harrison since 1981, and they have two sons (Matthew M.L. married to Courtney, and Mark M.C. married to Tara). The Harrisons have two grandchildren, Rosie and Shiloh. In his spare time, Harrison enjoys reading, writing, vintage Jeeps, old banjos and books, and — most of all — time with family.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, surveys views about Jesus among the major religions of the world. He points out that non-Christian religions, even those that date hundreds of years before Jesus's ministry on earth feel compelled to explain the life of Jesus. Dr. Hall goes on to point out that surveys revealed that among white evangelical Protestants 72% think that Judaism or Islam or no religion at all can lead to salvation. This is even though Jesus Christ proclaimed to be the only way to salvation. The podcast attempts to answer the question, “Who is Jesus?” Dr. Hall points out that Jesus's statements about himself contradict the notion that he was simply a great man or prophet. Jesus clearly indicated that He was God. The idea that the only way to eternal life is through Jesus Christ is a narrowminded unenlightened viewpoint flies in the face of biblical teaching.

That's a big transition, and some people don't handle it very well — they really kind of fall apart.” “Success is living out the life that you have been handed. Your identity was predestined in some ways … but when I see someone living out their calling in life, regardless of how wealthy they are, that's what success is.” “To be successful at anything, you have to live consistently and with repetition to do whatever it is that you want to do well.” “I can't control an outcome. I'm not that powerful, I'm not that good. But I can always put myself in the position to succeed.” BOOKS MENTIONED: 48 Days to the Work You Love: Preparing for the New Normal by Dan Miller (https://a.co/d/34MIxq6) The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness by Jeff Olson, John David Mann (https://a.co/d/27XN0BW) ASSESSMENT TOOL: Jordan Peterson Big 5 Personality Test USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.garychupik.com/ https://www.elitemindsetnation.com/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-chupik-22aba6161/ https://www.instagram.com/elitemindset/ https://www.facebook.com/gary.chupik https://x.com/chupik_gary CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com    LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen    Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen    X - https://x.com/johnhulen    YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA    EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/ 

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Maximilian Kolbe, Priest and Martyr Lectionary: 416The Saint of the day is Saint Maximilian Mary KolbeSaint Maximilian Mary Kolbe's Story “I don't know what's going to become of you!” How many parents have said that? Maximilian Mary Kolbe's reaction was, “I prayed very hard to Our Lady to tell me what would happen to me. She appeared, holding in her hands two crowns, one white, one red. She asked if I would like to have them—one was for purity, the other for martyrdom. I said, ‘I choose both.' She smiled and disappeared.” After that he was not the same. He entered the minor seminary of the Conventual Franciscans in Lvív–then Poland, now Ukraine—near his birthplace, and at 16 became a novice. Though Maximilian later achieved doctorates in philosophy and theology, he was deeply interested in science, even drawing plans for rocket ships. Ordained at 24, Maximilian saw religious indifference as the deadliest poison of the day. His mission was to combat it. He had already founded the Militia of the Immaculata, whose aim was to fight evil with the witness of the good life, prayer, work, and suffering. He dreamed of and then founded Knight of the Immaculata, a religious magazine under Mary's protection to preach the Good News to all nations. For the work of publication he established a “City of the Immaculata”—Niepokalanow—which housed 700 of his Franciscan brothers. He later founded another one in Nagasaki, Japan. Both the Militia and the magazine ultimately reached the one-million mark in members and subscribers. His love of God was daily filtered through devotion to Mary. In 1939, the Nazi panzers overran Poland with deadly speed. Niepokalanow was severely bombed. Kolbe and his friars were arrested, then released in less than three months, on the feast of the Immaculate Conception. In 1941, Fr. Kolbe was arrested again. The Nazis' purpose was to liquidate the select ones, the leaders. The end came quickly, three months later in Auschwitz, after terrible beatings and humiliations. A prisoner had escaped. The commandant announced that 10 men would die. He relished walking along the ranks. “This one. That one.” As they were being marched away to the starvation bunkers, Number 16670 dared to step from the line. “I would like to take that man's place. He has a wife and children.”“Who are you?”“A priest.” No name, no mention of fame. Silence. The commandant, dumbfounded, perhaps with a fleeting thought of history, kicked Sergeant Francis Gajowniczek out of line and ordered Fr. Kolbe to go with the nine. In the “block of death” they were ordered to strip naked, and their slow starvation began in darkness. But there was no screaming—the prisoners sang. By the eve of the Assumption, four were left alive. The jailer came to finish Kolbe off as he sat in a corner praying. He lifted his fleshless arm to receive the bite of the hypodermic needle. It was filled with carbolic acid. They burned his body with all the others. Fr. Kolbe was beatified in 1971 and canonized in 1982. Reflection Father Kolbe's death was not a sudden, last-minute act of heroism. His whole life had been a preparation. His holiness was a limitless, passionate desire to convert the whole world to God. And his beloved Immaculata was his inspiration. Saint Maximilian Mary Kolbe is a Patron Saint of: AddictsRecovery from drug addiction Learn about Kolbe House Prison Ministry!

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, discusses the miracle of DNA found in our genes and explains how it is the blueprint and guide for who we will become. In Psalm 139:14-16 God is telling us that our development was planned and that our days on earth were numbered even before we were born. He compares our spiritual development to our physical development, pointing out that when we become followers of Christ, God has a biblical plan for spiritual growth and points out that it's possible for believers to be indifferent, lazy or unmotivated. The podcast concludes with listeners being challenged to avoid the things that will harm God's plan for physical growth and to manage life in a way that spiritual growth is not damaged.

Dr. Hall explores the role that greed plays in our society, both the good, bad, and ugly. He focuses on how the dark side of greed can lead to corruption. As he concludes the podcast, he outlines the differences between ambition and destructive greed.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, addresses a newly declassified report from the Director of National Intelligence that appears to reflect that former president Barack Obama directed a conspiracy to undermine newly elected president Trump's presidency before he left office. This podcast takes a look at the role power plays in human relationships and behavior. Dr. Hall analyzes how the abuse of power can lead to corruption, manipulation, and unethical behavior. The reasons that power is so addictive are analyzed. Power can lead to aggressive and dehumanizing behavior, and it is not limited to only corporate, professional and political leaders but exists in all levels of society. Power has a disinhibiting effect that contributes to sexual infidelity. Dr. Hall defines corruption and its relationship to power. The podcast ends with the biblical prescription for overcoming corruption. Can also be viewed on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/w8EvYEFvn6Q and heard on all podcast search engines.

Remembering Father Benedict Groeschel in Teresa's Two Sense Segment. Deacon Dominic Cerrato, editor at the Deacon, joins to discuss an annual report that shows aren't enough deacons being ordained in the United States

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall discusses the catastrophic flood on the Guadalupe River in Texas that killed 133 people, among that number 37 children. At least 97 people are still missing, and search efforts continue. This tragedy is used as a platform to come face-to-face with views on the afterlife. After discussing Americans' views on afterlife, the biblical description of heaven is outlined and Dr. Hall points out how the Bible teaches that not only will we be able to meet and see high profile biblical characters like Abraham, Moses and the apostles but we will be able to recognize and get to see our loved ones in heaven. Dr. Hall believes that infants and small children who die are with Jesus and uses the Scripture to support that point of view. He specifically points out that every child conceived even if they perish before birth are in heaven with Jesus. The podcast ends with a reminder from Jesus that no matter what we say about our faith, he knows our hearts.

At a glance, Spirit of Grace church in Beaverton might appear to be just one of many progressive Protestant churches, not unusual in the Pacific Northwest. Its website and featured introduction video emphasizes that all are welcome, with an emphasis on LGBTQ people of faith who may not have been welcomed in other religious faiths - and even people who may be questioning their beliefs. But read the fine print or attend a service and both the Catholic and Lutheran theology that defines the church becomes clear. Until the mid-1980s, the congregation was Lutheran, but out of an attempt to shore up dwindling finances, the church began sharing its physical space with members of a Catholic church. Eventually what developed was one congregation that gathered each Sunday and was led by both a visiting Catholic priest and a Lutheran pastor. But in December of 2023, for the first time, the Portland Archdiocese barred Roman Catholic priests from any further participation at Spirit of Grace - and ordered any Catholics in the congregation to leave. But they stayed, choosing to keep their model, and instead of inviting visiting Roman Catholic priests, they called Rev. Vinci Halbrook-Paterson to lead. She had been serving on staff, but in the wake of the Archdiocese's decision, chose to be ordained by Roman Catholic Women Priests in May 2025. Halbrook-Paterson now co-leads the church and alternates leading services on Sundays with Lutheran pastor Robyn Hartwig. It is thought to be the only such Lutheran-Catholic congregation in the country. We hear more about the congregation, its evolution and its impact in the community from Halbrook-Paterson and two long time congregants, Lutheran Marie Gettel-Gilmartin and her husband, Mike Gettel-Gilmartin, who is Catholic.Beaverton’s Spirit of Grace church co-led by newly ordained Roman Catholic Woman Priest

John Jones was Welsh. He was ordained a diocesan priest and was twice imprisoned for administering the sacraments before leaving England in 1590. He joined the Franciscans at the age of 60 and returned to England three years later while Queen Elizabeth I was at the height of her power. John ministered to Catholics in the English countryside until his imprisonment in 1596. He was condemned to be hanged, drawn, and quartered. John was executed on July 12, 1598. John Wall was born in England but was educated at the English College of Douai, Belgium. Ordained in Rome in 1648, he entered the Franciscans in Douai several years later. In 1656 he returned to work secretly in England. In 1678, Titus Oates worked many English people into a frenzy over an alleged papal plot to murder the king and restore Catholicism in that country. In that year Catholics were legally excluded from Parliament, a law which was not repealed until 1829. John Wall was arrested and imprisoned in 1678, and was executed the following year. John Jones and John Wall were canonized in 1970. Reflection Every martyr knows how to save his/her life and yet refuses to do so. A public repudiation of the faith would save any of them. But some things are more precious than life itself. These martyrs prove that their 20th-century countryman, C. S. Lewis, was correct in saying that courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, that is, at the point of highest reality.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, discusses language as one of the defining characteristics of humanity. He reviews the comical efforts that linguistic scientists make to explain the origin of language. He points out that God spoke to Adam in a language that came from God himself, not through the evolution of grunts and groans of cavemen. Dr. Hall discusses the story of the Tower of Babel found in Genesis 11 when God causes the people to begin speaking different languages. The Hebrew language is considered to be the Holy language because it is the original language of the Bible. The role of the Greek language in expanding Christianity is reviewed. Dr. Hall reminds the listeners of the various ways that language can be abused and that Jesus said, “But I tell you that men will have to give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words, you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” (Matthew 12:36-37).  Can be heard on all podcasts search engines and viewed on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/LOUMC-4jBnU.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, reviews the history and purpose of Independence Day – 4th of July. As a day when freedom is celebrated, he delves into the definition of freedom. He points out how Americans take their freedoms for granted and do not even understand what freedoms are protected by the First Amendment. Dr. Hall provides the meaning behind Jesus's statement that, “The truth will set you free.” The kind of spiritual bondage that can enslave everyone to sin is explored. Dr. Hall points out that both Jesus and the apostle Paul emphasized that true freedom is found in obedience to God's truth. It is pointed out that if one stays on the path of the sinful life, they will not find freedom or liberty – only allusions that will discourage them from seeking the real freedom that only Christ can give.

ORIGINAL AIR DATE: JAN 30, 2024We are joined once again by Rev Phill Sacre—an ordained minister (Church of England) and host of the YouTube channel "Sacred Musings"—for another thought-provoking and wide-ranging conversation in the series: "Following Christ in the New Old Normal".Strange as it might seem—given that Phill's ordained, and I'm a Methodist lay preacher—this time we centre our conversation in the character of "Satan", or "The Satan" (to be more precise). Reflecting upon the clear manifestation of Evil in the world (particularly over the last three years)—and trying to make sense of the strange, seemingly ubiquitous eruption of (what one might call) "woke" sensibilities in recent times—we discuss questions such as: Who, or what, is "The Satan"? What does "he" do? What sort of influence does "he" have in the world? Where did "he" come from? Has "he" always been this way? What is that "serpent" in the Garden of Eden narrative anyway? Just a snake? Or have we been missing something deeper—that perhaps the prophets Ezekiel and Isaiah hint at—that might tell us something about "his" origins?(Phill is a Christian minister. Ordained in the Church of England, he formerly served in a parish on the Essex coast, but now leads an independent housechurch. He also runs the online ministries, "Understand the Bible" and "Sacred Musings : Building on Christian Foundations" on YouTube.)

Sunday Evening Service

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, and his special guest Dorothy Little, accomplished Bible teacher and End Times scholar react to CNN's guest referring to Sen. Ted Cruz and Speaker of the house Mike Johnson as rapture preppers. She asserted that there is a whole sect of MAGA porters that support Israel because they want the Jews to be in Israel so that Jesus can come back for the rapture. Dr. Hall and his guest spent some time scribing what the Bible says about the rapture, a time when the Lord will gather his followers to meet with him in the air. The different views regarding the tribulation are also discussed. It is pointed out that Peter in his second letter warns, “Above all you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own desires.” Each of these personalities reacted to the idea that many people believe that everyone who does good will be raptured. As the podcast ends the listeners are advised that their rapture preparation should involve being diligent and vigilant and busy doing the Lord's work. They pointed out that God wants everyone in his heavenly kingdom and that they should not delay in seeking salvation. The podcast closes by stressing to the listeners that they should give Jesus a chance to prove who he says he is!

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for a second time: United Church Minister turned whistleblower, Canadian Hero, humanitarian, father of two, published writer and author, public speaker and podcaster, documentary filmmaker, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, co-founder of the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State, righteous soul, and Eagle Strong Voice: Kevin AnnettIn case you missed either of Kevin's past 2 episodes or the ‘Movie Night' feature where we aired his acclaimed documentary, ‘Unrepentant', here is a brief intro to his testimony and background along with some information on what we will be talking about today: Born in Edmonton in 1956, Kevin's early life was steeped in a deep sense of justice and curiosity about the world. Educated at the University of British Columbia, he earned degrees in Anthropology, Political Science and beyond preparing him for a life of service. Ordained in 1990, he began his ministry in Port Alberni, British Columbia, in 1992, unaware that this small coastal town would become the crucible for his life's mission. It was here, among a community scarred by poverty and historical trauma, that Kevin first heard the heart-wrenching stories of Indigenous survivors of the residential schools - stories of abuse, cultural erasure, and unimaginable loss.What began as an effort to open his church's doors to Indigenous congregants quickly transformed into a profound awakening. Survivors shared accounts of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse, including deliberate programming designed to silence them through fear, shame, and self-destruction. Kevin learned of the sinister mechanisms of mind control - techniques rooted in trauma-based programming, akin to the CIA's MKULTRA experiments, used to break spirits and ensure compliance. Kevin's pursuit of truth came at a profound personal cost. His refusal to stay silent led to his dismissal from the United Church in 1995, followed by a campaign of defamation, blacklisting, and the painful loss of his family. Yet, these trials only deepened his resolve. He saw the parallels between the survivors' programmed silence and the societal denial that shielded the perpetrators. Undeterred, he founded the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) in 2010, uniting survivors across 26 countries to seek justice. The ITCCS prosecuted figures like Pope Benedict and Canadian officials for crimes against humanity, sparking global awareness of child trafficking and institutional abuse.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, discusses the attacks on the Bible by agnostics, atheists, and skeptics. He zeroes in on what some refer to as copycat theology. It's the idea that Christianity was copied from pagan myths. He reviews the history of this kind of false teaching. Dr. Hall uses some examples to demonstrate how a story that may have parallels to things that happened in the past does not necessarily make the story a falsehood. It is obvious that some skeptics are willing to distort and lie when it comes to descriptions of pagan gods. Dr. Hall spends time talking about why first century Jews would never stoop to worshiping pagan gods, believing pagan myths, bowing down to idols, and adopting the belief systems of the Gentile nations around them. It is pointed out that one of the things that makes the gospel story of Jesus Christ so compelling is that it fulfills everything that had been prophesies to Israel in the Old Testament Scriptures.

6/4/25 - We'll be recounting the inspiring life of Venerable Father Nelson Baker (1842–1936), a former businessman-turned-priest who became known as the “Padre of the Poor” in Buffalo, New York. Ordained in 1876, Father Baker transformed the struggling parish of St. Joseph's into a thriving “City of Charity” that included an orphanage, a home for unwed mothers, a hospital, a school for boys, and eventually the magnificent Our Lady of Victory National Shrine and Basilica, completed in 1925. A pioneer in Catholic charity and devotion to Our Lady of Victory, Father Baker served thousands in need during his lifetime, relying entirely on donations through what he called “The Association of Our Lady of Victory.” His legacy lives on today, and his cause for sainthood continues, with Pope Benedict XVI declaring him Venerable in 2011. To learn more about Father Baker, please consider visiting the stunning Our Lady of Victory National Shrine and Basilica in Lackawanna, New York. More information at https://www.olvbasilica.org/
