Jakob King shares from Mark 10 the story of Jesus lovingly challenging a wealthy young ruler to give up the one thing that was keeping him from a relationship with God, his money.

This is a follow-up conversation. Listen to the first episode here. Jeff Strong worked nearly 30 years in the consumer products industry as a senior executive at Procter & Gamble and global president and chief customer officer at Johnson & Johnson. He then taught in the Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University and worked as an advisor to the Church before serving as a mission leader in the Arkansas Bentonville Mission. Jeff has since spent several years doing research on why people are leaving the Church. While not a professional researcher, his career involved a large amount of research and the research he shares in this podcast was done with the help of some of the top Latter-day Saint researchers in the world. Today, Jeff lives in Midway, Utah, and stays busy with a little lavender farm, some business consulting, and enjoying family. Links Slides: Tension From Our Differences When Clapping Happens at Church | A How I Lead Interview with Devin Pope Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Transcript coming soon Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights Jeff Strong dives deeper into the complexities of faith and community. He explores the idea that while many church leaders may come from a similar mindset, the diversity of perspectives within the congregation is essential for a healthy community. Jeff shares insights from a comprehensive study on disaffiliation and church experiences, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the church culture. He notes that while many members appreciate the community, service, and spiritual growth offered by the church, there are significant concerns about judgment, conformity, and exclusivity that can alienate individuals with differing beliefs or backgrounds. Jeff and Kurt talk about the tension caused by differences, and Jeff illustrates how the natural human response to perceived threats often leads to conformity and exclusion. He discusses the importance of yielding to the Holy Spirit to navigate these tensions, rather than allowing fear to dictate responses. A key part of the episode is the introduction of a segmentation model that categorizes Latter-day Saints into six belief mindsets: Seekers, Cultivators, Protectors, Avoiders, Connectors, and Explorers. Each segment is defined by its unique values and priorities, with Protectors making up a significant portion of church leadership. Jeff and Kurt discuss the implications of this model, emphasizing that a church comprised solely of one segment would lack the richness and diversity necessary for a thriving community. Understanding these different mindsets can help church leaders foster a more inclusive environment that accommodates a broader range of beliefs and experiences. Jeff encourages listeners to embrace the complexities of faith and community, recognizing that the presence of tension can lead to growth and deeper understanding. 00:02:20 - Embracing Differences in Faith Exploring how to reconcile different perspectives within the church community. 00:05:01 - Tension in Church Experience Discussion on the tension between tradition and change in church experiences. 00:08:01 - The Importance of Differences Recognizing that differences among members are natural and beneficial. 00:10:12 - A Story of the Kingfisher and Magpies A metaphorical story illustrating the challenges of being different in a community. 00:11:10 - Strengths of Church Culture Overview of the strengths identified in the church culture based on research. 00:12:42 - Weaknesses of Church Culture Discussion on the weaknesses and challenges faced within the church culture. 00:14:31 - Patterns of Judgment and Conformity Identifying patterns of judgment and conformity that create tension in the community. 00:16:53 - Experiencing Tension in the Church Sharing personal experiences of members feeling tension within the church culture. 00:19:19 - Natural Man vs.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeD&C [D&C 85-87]“Stand Ye in Holy Places”August 4 – August 10, 2025WEEK 32 SUMMARY=================Doctrine and Covenants sections 85–87, received between August and December 1832, were revealed to Joseph Smith during a formative period for the early Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, amidst challenges like persecution, internal dissension, and the organization of the growing church in Kirtland, Ohio, and Jackson County, Missouri. Section 85 addresses the importance of record-keeping and the consequences of unfaithfulness among those called to gather in Zion, emphasizing that only the obedient will receive their inheritance in the designated holy land. Section 86 interprets the parable of the wheat and tares, teaching that the righteous (wheat) will be gathered while the wicked (tares) will be destroyed at the Lord's coming, reinforcing the doctrine of divine judgment and the gathering of Israel. Section 87, a prophecy on war, foretells the American Civil War and other global conflicts, highlighting God's sovereignty over nations and the ultimate triumph of His kingdom, urging the Saints to prepare spiritually for turbulent times. These revelations provided doctrinal clarity and divine guidance for the early Saints navigating their role in establishing Zion amid external and internal trials.SPARK 1: PEACE BE STILL================OBJECT LESSON: “Thus Saith the Still Small Voice”: Haptics Phone AnalogySPARK 2: A HOUSE DIVIDED===================================OBJECT LESSON: “Let the Wheat and the Tares Grow Together”: Disappearing Tares TrickSPARK 3: STANDING STRONG=============================OBJECT LESSON: “Stand Ye in Holy Places”: Be Not Moved Battleship GamesCHAPTERS=========00:00:14 INTRO00:05:08 QUICK GLANCE00:08:46 SPARK 1 INSIGHTS00:19:12 SPARK 1 OBJECT LESSON00:24:02 SPARK 1 QUESTIONS00:25:57 SPARK 2 INSIGHTS00:33:37 SPARK 2 OBJECT LESSON00:38:28 SPARK 2 QUESTIONS00:40:19 SPARK 3 INSIGHTS00:49:46 SPARK 3 OBJECT LESSON00:55:03 SPARK 3 QUESTIONS00:57:16 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comETSY: https://www.etsy.com/shop/meckmomINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

Friends of the Rosary,Yesterday, on the feast day of Saint Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop and Doctor of the Church, we read in Matthew's Gospel (Matt 13, 54-58), how the Lord identified himself as a prophet in his return to Nazareth."A prophet is not without honor except in his native placeand in his own house.""And he did not work many mighty deeds therebecause of their lack of faith."Christ Jesus was not just one more prophet but the embodiment of the Logos, the Almighty. As Pope Benedict XVI wrote, “Now the word is not simply audible; not only does it have a voice, now the word has a face, one which we can see: that of Jesus of Nazareth.”Today, the Church is Jesus's Mystical Body, the bearer of His Word to the world until He returns. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

This is a Tribute episode to Tom Lehrer, who passed away last week at age 97. For anyone unfamiliar with him and his music, he was a brilliant musical satirist who wrote incredibly clever, interesting and topical songs in the 1950s and 1960s. He was not a full-time musician. His true love was mathematics and he was employed for years as a professor at Harvard and MIT. Periodically, however, he emerged to perform and record several albums of his songs.He was trained as a classical pianist. All of his songs were performed just with him playing the piano and singing. His lyrics were sharp, intelligent, incisive and always on point. Here are some of his “Greatest Hits”.“Poisoning Pigeons In The Park” is about one of the pleasures of springtime.“Be Prepared” is his Boy Scout “marching song”.“I Hold Your Hand In Mine” is his necrophiliac ballad.“The Vatican Rag” is his response to the Vatican's attempt to “make the Church more commercial”, as he liked to say.And perhaps his most famous song is “The Elements”, where he names all of the elements to a Gilbert & Sullivan melody.Tom Lehrer will be missed.------------------------------------------The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!Click here for All Episodes Click here for Guest List Click here for Guest Groupings Click here for Guest TestimonialsClick here to Subscribe Click here to receive our Email UpdatesClick here to Rate and Review the podcast—----------------------------------------ROBERT'S NEWEST ALBUM:“WHAT'S UP!” is Robert's new compilation album.

You're walking through a busy modern city—and then a towering Gothic church stops you in your tracks. That's exactly what happened to me in Bristol, when I stumbled upon St Mary Redcliffe, a church Queen Elizabeth I herself called “the fairest, goodliest and most famous parish church in England.” I'm Claire Ridgway, historian and author, and in this episode I share the story behind this incredible Tudor site—from Elizabeth's 1574 visit, to her letters patent for its restoration, to the royal grammar school she founded right next door. Did you know a statue of Elizabeth I from her lifetime still survives—inside this very church? Join me as I explore this hidden Tudor gem and reveal why it should be on every history lover's travel list. I also share a few other places to visit in Bristol, including the nearby cathedral and the fascinating M Shed museum.

On the first day of each month, we release Grace & Knowledge, a more in-depth article from Paul that allows him to expand on biblical truths beyond his weekly Wednesday's Word.Our prayer is that this resource helps you “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” (2 Peter 3:18).In this month's Grace & Knowledge, Paul identifies five dangers that can quietly corrupt our pursuit of achievement. We've been redeemed to achieve — not for our own glory, but for the glory of the Lord, who empowers us to do all things by his grace.

Patrick rolls into conversations laced with humor, nostalgia, and unexpected listener questions. At one moment he deciphers a Beatles joke with the help of a caller, reminisces about seeing Paul McCartney live, and later fields encounters with Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons, addressing everything from religious debates to handling a stranger’s ashes. Unscripted, he answers difficult questions around concubines in scripture and the challenge of eternal punishment, balancing theological depth with bursts of laughter when “karaoke” performances sneak into the mix. Susan - When the Beatles got famous, boys started not getting haircuts as often which is probably what affected that guy’s business and his family. (01:57) Calvin - The last time Jehovah’s Witnesses gave me a Watch Tower magazine, I told them to convert to Catholicism, and they ran away across the street. (06:24) Brian - I noticed that the only state with a balanced budget and a well-run government is Salt Lake City, UT. Maybe we should take some notes from UT. (09:25) Chris (email) - It seems 7th Day Adventist twist bible verses and take them out of context to fit their views. (12:25) Juan - My friend has cremated remains and I was trying to get them buried. What should we do with them? (14:31) Ron - I had an encounter with Jehovah’s Witnesses and one of them was an elder and one was an ex-catholic. I was able to debate them and then they just left. (19:50) Deacon Shawn - I am always confused by why the two people who say that Jesus is the Christ (Mary, and Peter) get different responses. (24:13) Chris - What's the difference between a concubine and an adulterer? (31:35) Peter - How can there be a loving God whose ultimate plan includes damnation? (37:03) Marie - I had a friend who came into the Church last Easter. She has since decided to go to a Baptist church because it has a better community. What should I do? (44:44)

We hear the story of a local woman, “Maria,” who fled war-torn Syria for the United States more than 10 years ago. While her request for asylum languished in the courts for the last seven years, she carried on the work of creating a new life, forming a community, and working as an immigration advocate. Just this week, she found out that her request for asylum has been denied. She now finds herself in a state of limbo, unable to return to her own country out of fear of persecution, uncertain of a future here. In the final installment of our weeklong series looking into what it's like to be an immigrant without permanent status in the U.S., we focus on the experiences of asylum seekers and refugees. We speak with “Maria” from Syria; Maya Oyarbide-Sanchez, Refugee One Wellness Director; Heena Musabji, Legal Director at CAIR-Chicago; and Maketh Mabior, a former refugee from Sudan and lay leader of the South Sudanese congregation at St Paul's Church. All of today's guests work on representing, resettling, and supporting refugees and other displaced people under a cloud of uncertainty created by the current administration.

Why is it important to live a holy life? In the sixth episode of "Holiness," Duane Sheriff challenges common misconceptions about holiness and presents a grace-based perspective on righteous living. Holiness is not about earning God's love or salvation but rather about living out our new nature in Christ, loving God and others, and preventing Satan from gaining influence in our lives. This episode connects love and holiness, referencing Romans 6, which teaches that we are dead to sin and alive in Christ. Our new identity encourages us to live differently—not out of obligation but as a natural expression of our transformed selves. Holiness becomes a natural outflow of God's love in our lives rather than a burdensome list of dos and don'ts.https://pastorduane.com/holiness/

Benjamin Giffone, author of the LCI-published book A House Divided: Technology, Worship, and Healing the Church After COVID, gave this presentation at FreedomFest 2025. Benj takes on one of the most controversial topics of our time—COVID-19 and the role of the Church in a world increasingly dominated by state control. He dives into how the pandemic exposed the fragile balance between personal freedom and government overreach, and how both the Church and the state reacted to the crisis.Watch LCI's full presentation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4t4Lb61Cfzw?si=HcCHd2-bqFf2QHNDAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★

//The Wire//1800Z August 1, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: CHRISTIANS AMBUSHED AT CHURCH EVENT IN SEATTLE. MULTIPLE FEDERAL INVESTIGATIONS LAUNCHED INTO STUDENT ALTERCATION AT FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Washington: An ambush was reported in Seattle at a Pursuit Northwest Church event last night. One person was killed after unknown attackers opened fire on them, while laying in wait inside a vehicle parked on the street. The attacker(s) fled the scene after the shooting in a white Hyundai Elantra, which has a broken window. The Seattle Police Department has confirmed that the shooting was a deliberate ambush targeting churchgoers.Analyst Comment: This is the same Church at the center of recent controversy in Seattle, and the same Church that was berated by Seattle police for having the audacity to express their faith in public. This Church was condemned by the Seattle police union a few months ago for holding an event at a park deep behind the lines into ANTIFA-held terrain, with the police complaining that they had to protect the churchgoers from violent criminals. Following this incident, it was made clear that the city itself not only approved the permit for this event, but specifically suggested that exact park. Now, the violence continues, not only by parishioners being beaten by the crowd, but now including murders of people trying to go to Church. From a risk management perspective, this is one of the most clear cases of violent religious persecution in the United States, and the city is very obviously not interested in combating the violent militants which are now shooting and murdering Christians in the streets. The federal Department of Justice has not commented on this incident, nor is there any indication of federal interest in Christians persistently being attacked (and now murdered) in Seattle.Florida: The Department of Justice has responded directly to an altercation between two students at Florida State University. The FSU Police Department has launched a full investigation in to the incident, and Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered US Attorney Jack Heekin, the US Civil Rights Division, and Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon to launch a full federal investigation into the incident as well. Florida Congressional Representatives have also gotten involved, and FSU has brought in third-party therapists to provide free trauma counseling services for students who may have indirectly heard about this incident.Analyst Comment: This event, which warranted the involvement of multiple federal law enforcement agencies, revolves around verbal anti-Israeli comments a woman made in the gym toward another student; this entire response stems around a woman saying mean things to a man in the gym. Of course, a response to this would normally be carried out by a university as harassing someone in the gym in this manner is counter to good social order. Normally this type of behavioral incident is handled in-house (usually with something like a brief suspension from classes, if even that). However, as a particular foreign nationstate was mentioned this incident is being responded to as if a murder took place. Consequently, as it's very clear that these types of statements are by far the most heavily-policed speech crimes in the United States, the woman who made the comments has already been doxxed, suspended from classes, and banned from campus, pending the multiple federal investigations that are now underway. -----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Washington D.C. politics continues as before, most of which isn't immediately pressing but worthy of note. Talk surrounding the potential pardon of both Diddy and Ghislaine Maxwell continues, with no indication of whether or not a decision has been made on either front yet. The Epstein scandal continues to develop by the hour, most of w

Born in Russia in 1836, he became one of the great Orthodox missionaries of modern times. As a boy, he resolved to become a missionary in the far East. With the counsel and blessing of Bishop Innocent of Siberia and Alaska, he went to Japan in 1861 and joined a small Russian mission there. Though the mission's official purpose was to minister to the Russian consular community, the consul-general who invited Hieromonk Nikolai hoped to bring the light of the Orthodox Faith to the Japanese people as well. Realizing that he could only hope to convert the Japanese people if they understood one another well, Fr Nikolai immersed himself in the study of Japanese thought, culture and language. Over the course of his life he translated most of the Bible and most of the Orthodox services into Japanese, and became a fluent speaker of the language. He encountered much resistance: Preaching of Christian doctrine was officially banned in Japan, and a Samurai once approached him with the words "Foreigners must die!" It was this same Samurai who later became his first Japanese priest. In 1880 he was elevated to Bishop of Japan. During the Russo-Japanese war he remained in Japan and labored successfully to overcome nationalist strife that might have harmed or destroyed the Church in Japan. He encouraged all his Japanese faithful to pray for the Japanese armed forces, though he explained that as a Russian he could not do so, and excluded himself from all public services for the duration of the war. He sent Russian-speaking Japanese priests to the prison camps to minister to Russian prisoners of war. At the time of his repose in 1912, after forty-eight years in Japan, St Nikolai left a Cathedral, eight churches, more than 400 chapels and meeting houses, 34 priests, 8 deacons, 115 lay catechists, and 34,110 Orthodox faithful. The Church of Japan is now an autonomous Orthodox Church under the mantle of the Moscow Patriarchate.

Send us a textThe concept of dignity—the unwavering worth within each human being—lies at the heart of our religious traditions, political systems, and human interactions. But what does it mean to respect someone's dignity, especially when society has trained us to look away?In this episode, Melissa has a conversation with Dr. Beth Sarah Wright, author of "DIGNITY: Seven Strategies for Creating Authentic Community", centered on James 3:18. They discuss human dignity and how genuine community emerges when we honor each person's inherent value. "Dignity isn't a moral imperative, nor is it a political imperative—it really is a human imperative," Dr. Wright explains. She unpacks how respect etymologically means "to look again," challenging us to see beyond our initial judgments to recognize the full humanity in others.

Gospel Matthew 13:54-58 Jesus came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, "Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds? Is he not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? Are not his sisters all with us? Where did this man get all this?" And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house." And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith. Reflection The kingdom of God invites us to let go of so many limitations in our minds, in terms of how things work. And here we're seeing the resistance to something they might call, the scandal of ordinariness. Who would have ever dreamt that the Messiah of the world would not come from the temple? Would not come from one of the great Pharisees? Instead came from a nobody in a small town that wasn't a very important place. What is all this saying? I think it's saying very simply that when we have faith, real faith, we let it override our minds, our logic. We realize that we're living in a world that is beyond our imagining and what God can do is more than we could ever imagine. That's entering the kingdom. That's what we're called to do. Closing Prayer Father, Jesus was powerful, but he didn't come from a system of great power. The temple was known for its power over people, the laws that they had to follow. But what Jesus, I think teaching us is that there is a way in which power is not what we think it is. It is infusing one with wisdom, not burdening them with something that they must do or be punished. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fr. William Rock, FSSP serves as Parochial Vicar at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Nashua, New Hampshire. He was ordained in October of 2019 and serves as a regular contributor to the FSSP North America Missive Blog. In Today's Show: Why are the three Archangels also given the title of, "Saint?"  Aren't all the other saints human beings?  Is there some specific reason for them to hold both titles?  Does it have something to do with their function in the Kingdom of God? How do we store up “treasures in heaven?” Other than Job, is there someone else that God tested, even to the point of punishment? Since Father Rock is the liturgy expert here... what's his favorite nerdy liturgical fact? Invincible ignorance as it pertains to Protestants What is the Catholic teaching on Acts 10:38, which appears to suggest that Jesus was empowered by God the Father rather than having innate divine power himself? I am elderly and cannot drive. Is it a sin for me to miss Mass? How do we respond to Protestants who say that John 3:5 is about labor water and not baptism? What are some acts of sacrifice/penance we should do daily? Is it wrong to use substitutes for the Holy names of Jesus or Mary to avoid using them in vain? What are the origins of the English language originally going with the Germanic “Holy Ghost” v. “Holy Spirit” ? Is “Spirit” a closer Latin translation? Why does the Bible say that there is a better chance for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle than a rich man enter the kingdom of God? Who determines how much money is “too much” or how can we judge that? Regarding final grace of conversion for sinners in mortal sin, is there a conflict between the Divine Mercy message given to St. Faustina, and the teaching of St. Alphonsus Ligouri, a Doctor of the Church? When it's stated that St. John the Baptist was sanctified in his mother's womb, what does that mean. How is he different from other saints? We read in Matthew 27: 51-53 how, when Jesus died, there was an earthquake, rocks were split, the curtain concealing the Holy of Holies in the Temple was torn from top to bottom, and that, "The bodies of many saints who had died were raised to life." Who were these saints being referenced?

In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse of the Ruth Institute joins Fr. Rob Jack to unpack a string of public scandals—from the “Coldplay Couple” to a persecuted priest—and reveal the deeper moral confusion gripping our culture. They discuss how the remnants of public shame still surrounding adultery may signal a flicker of moral awareness, even as the sexual revolution conditions us to hide and excuse sin. Dr. Morse challenges the foundational lie of that revolution: that you can do anything and nothing bad will happen. This conversation examines hypocrisy, justice, forgiveness, and the Church's role in healing.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”What if your body was designed to tell a cosmic love story? In this profound exploration of human sexuality, Jack unveils how our creation as male and female reflects something far deeper than biology—it mirrors the very nature of God's Trinitarian love.The episode introduces the Claymore Battle Plan, a revolutionary framework helping men navigate today's confusing cultural landscape. Rather than offering superficial solutions, this approach digs into three fundamental realities: the human heart's deepest longings, the irreplaceable role of marriage and family, and our essential connection to Christ and the Church. These aren't arbitrary religious concepts but the very foundation of human flourishing.Drawing from Pope John Paul II's theology of the body, Jack explains how our physical design reveals profound spiritual truth. "The body, and it alone, is capable of making visible what is invisible—the spiritual and divine," he quotes. This understanding transforms everything about how we see ourselves and our relationships. When husband and wife unite and bring forth children, they participate in a "tiny created reflection of Trinitarian love"—where two become one and create a third.The breakdown we see in society—from inner-city violence to the emptiness of modern political leadership—stems directly from losing this foundational understanding. Without recognizing the sacramental nature of our bodies and relationships, we're left with a culture that uses people and loves things instead of the reverse.Join our growing community of men seeking something deeper than what modern culture offers.

How can returning to God's original plan for humanity help us navigate moral and sexual confusion in the modern world?Reference: Matthew 19:3–8; CCC 1603–1605: “The intimate community of life and love which constitutes the married state has been established by the Creator and endowed by him with its own proper laws… God himself is the author of marriage.”·      John Paul II describes the body as having a “spousal meaning” that expresses love and self-gift. How can understanding this truth shape the way we view sexuality and relationships?Reference: Genesis 2:24–25; CCC 2331–2336: “Sexuality, by means of which man and woman give themselves to one another through the acts which are proper and exclusive to spouses… is ordered to the conjugal love of man and woman.”·      The chapter describes marriage as a “primordial sacrament” that reflects God's Trinitarian life and love, ‘from the beginning'. How can married couples live out this sacramental calling in their daily lives, and what impact might this have on their families and communities?Reference: Ephesians 5:25–32; CCC 1613–1617: “By its very nature [marriage] is ordered to the good of the couple, as well Support the show

The Catechism unpacks—by way of comparison—the “two participations in the one priesthood of Christ”: the common priesthood of all the faithful and the ministerial (or hierarchical) priesthood of the bishops and priests. Fr. Mike hones in on the ministerial priesthood as a means for Jesus to minister to his Church. His ministers act on his behalf in persona Christi Capitis: in the person of Christ, the Head.
