The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030826.cfmFather Chris Alar, MIC, invites you to pause, breathe, and recognize that the path back to God's house is always present. He begins by drawing our attention to the Samaritan well, where a woman deemed an outcast encounters the Bridegroom of the universe. In the longest dialogue of the Gospel of John, Christ breaks every barrier of gender, ethnicity, and past sin, offering “living water” that points to the Sacrament of Baptism.Father Chris explains that this water is not merely a metaphor; it is the very grace poured out in the sacramental fountain of baptism, cleansing us of original sin and welcoming us into the Body of Christ. He links the well‑scene to the nuptial mystery of the Church: Christ, the divine Bridegroom, seeks to unite with us, the Bride, through the covenant sealed at baptism and continually renewed in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.Pastorally, he emphasizes that the woman's story illustrates the universal invitation of Divine Mercy. Even those labeled “Samaritan,” “Gentile,” or “outcast” are called to the marriage feast of the Eucharist, where the Blood and Water flow together as the source of eternal life. Fr. Chris urges us to examine the false “spouses” of wealth, power, and pride that keep us from the true Bridegroom, and to turn to Confession as the means by which those chains are broken.He reminds the faithful that Divine Mercy Sunday magnifies this grace, offering a “second baptism” that wipes away temporal punishment. The homily culminates with a vivid picture of the Bridegroom entering the bride, a mystery fulfilled in Holy Communion, where the Holy Spirit dwells as living water, renewing us for the wedding feast of the Lamb.May this reminder stir within each of us a renewed desire to walk toward the altar of Christ, confident that the Bridegroom awaits with open arms. ★ Support this podcast ★
The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030926.cfmFather Matthew Tomeny, MIC, opens with a memorable story from Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who once welcomed a drunk woman into Saint Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. Rather than turning her away, he offered her tea and promised not to ask her to go to confession — until she returned sober and ready to encounter God's mercy.Father Matthew connects this to the Scripture reading of Naaman the leper, who expected an extraordinary cure but was healed by the simple act of dipping seven times in the Jordan River. Salvation does not require grand quests or heroic feats. Instead, the Sacraments of the Church provide the ordinary means by which God cleanses our souls and restores our union with Him.Through Baptism, Jesus washes away our sins. Through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, He continues to cleanse us when we fall. And through the Eucharist, we express that communion in the most intimate way possible. Father Matthew emphasizes that holiness is intended for all people, regardless of their past. Just as Archbishop Sheen did not write off the drunk woman, neither should we write off anyone who struggles.Continual repentance—the virtue of penance—keeps our hearts aligned with God's will. When we are in order with God, trials lose their power to derail us. Take advantage of these simple ways to holiness and share that satisfaction with others. ★ Support this podcast ★

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030526.cfmFather Mark Baron, MIC, invites us to ask the vital question that unites today's readings and the responsorial psalm: Where is your heart rooted? Isaiah portrays the faithful believer as a tree planted beside flowing waters, its roots drawing nourishment so that it remains green even in drought. In contrast, a heart that trusts in flesh becomes a barren bush, exposed to the scorching heat and light of the desert.The theme of trust pervades the Divine Mercy revelations of St. Faustina. To trust someone, we must recognize three qualities: the ability to help; the wisdom to guide; and the goodness that cares. Father Mark likens this to a physician — trained, wise, and compassionate — who earns our confidence. In the same way, God is all‑powerful, all‑wise, and all‑good; recognizing these attributes allows us to lean on Him, opening our hearts to His mercy.Trust in God is not merely abstract; it finds concrete expression in the Sacraments. Baptism immerses us in the living water promised by Scripture, initiating us into the grace that sustains our spiritual growth. The Eucharist continually refreshes that same water, while the Sacrament of Reconciliation clears the soil of our hearts so new roots may take hold.During this Lenten season, Fr. Mark urges us to examine our own roots. Are we seeking security in material success, as the rich man of the parable did, or are we planting ourselves beside the divine stream, like Lazarus whose name means “God has helped”? He calls us to pray for the Holy Spirit to reveal the blind spots that keep us from true reliance on the Father. ★ Support this podcast ★
Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC, reminds us that the Parable of the Prodigal Son remains one of the most powerful stories Jesus ever told. He used it to answer the scandal of dining with tax collectors and prostitutes — those whom the Pharisees despised. In the Gospel, the younger son demands his inheritance, abandons his father's house, and squanders his wealth in a foreign land, even tending swine. The vivid image of a pig‑sty, mud‑covered and foul‑smelling, forces us to confront the depths of our own waywardness.When famine drives the prodigal to hunger, he finally sees his reflection in a puddle and asks, “Who have I become?” That moment of self‑recognition is the turning point for every sinner: the realization that the life we have built on empty promises cannot satisfy the soul's deepest hunger. He returns home, not as a son, but as a servant, pleading for a place among the hired workers.The father's response shatters our expectations. He runs to meet his son, embraces him, kisses him, and orders the finest robe, a ring, and new sandals. He does not wait for the son to finish his confession; forgiveness has already been given. The washing, the robe, and the celebratory feast with a fattened calf illustrate the fullness of God's mercy—grace that restores, not merely pardons.The older brother, representing those who cling to legalism, reacts with anger and jealousy. He cannot see that the father's love is not a limited resource; it expands to encompass both sons. The father gently corrects him, declaring that everything he has is also the older son's, but that a lost son has been found. This dialogue invites us to examine our own hearts: Are we the resentful elder, measuring God's love by our own merit, or the wayward child humbled by hunger for divine grace?Lent calls us to the same journey. Like the prodigal, we are invited to return, even with impure motives, because the Father's compassion does not require perfect intention — only a willingness to come home. The sacramental life — Baptism, the Eucharist, Confession — provides the water that washes away the mud of our sins, renewing us as beloved children of God.May the Blessed Virgin intercede that we, whether prodigal or faithful, open our hearts to the Father's boundless mercy, allowing His love to transform our lives and to bear fruit that glorifies Him. ★ Support this podcast ★

Time Magazine, CNN, Media Images & Reporting Reflect the Colors of Change.This Week I Take Time to Reflect & Just Breathe. Also Reflect of Things Happening in Our World. In Remembrance of Jimmie Lee Jackson & The Late Honorable John Lewis (D,GA).In 2026, We are STILL Fighting the Good Fight for Voter's Rights for ALL.I have been Blessed to Meet, Learn, Train & Work along side of Several Civil Rights Icons. On of them was the Late The Honorable John Lewis (D,GA) who Fought & Marched in 2020 to the Very End!!I have attended events Remembering the History, People & Sacrifice.The Fight for Justice Continues Today in 2026 as People Help Bring About Change.My Guest this Week was asked to join the Selma March in Alabama in 1965 by Dr. Martin Luther King. His name: Joseph Cooney Esq., then a newly ordained Priest. He also worked with SCLC in the Voters Registration Summers of 1966-67.In 1965, State Troopers Clashed with Citizens marching to Montgomery, Alabama to petition the state for African-American's Right to Vote. Many lives would change in this fight. Some lives both Black & White lost. The March from Selma to Montgomery was inspired by the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson was a civil rights activist in Marion, Alabama, and a deacon in the Baptist church. On February 18, 1965, while participating in a peaceful voting rights march in his city, he was beaten by troopers and shot by Alabama State Trooper John Bonard Fowler Jackson was unarmed and died eight days later in the hospital.His death was part of the inspiration for the Selma to Montgomery marches in March 1965, a major events in the American Civil Rights Movement that helped gain Congressional passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This opened the door to millions of African Americans being able to vote again in Alabama and across the South, regaining participation as citizens in the political system for the first time since the turn of the 20th century, when they were disenfranchised by state constitutions and discriminatory practices.© 2026 Building Abundant Success!!© 2026 All Rights Reserved Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBAS Spot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy: https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

"The staff of the man whom I choose shall sprout." After Korah's rebellion, God confirms Aaron's priesthood through a miraculous sign. Twelve staffs are placed before the ark, and Aaron's alone buds, blossoms, and produces almonds overnight. Dead wood comes to life by God's power. In this chapter and the opening of the next, we see God establishing the priesthood that would serve until a greater Priest came, one whose resurrection from the dead confirmed His eternal priesthood forever. The Rev. Timothy Barkett, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Kingman, AZ joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Numbers 17:1-18:7. To learn more about Good Shepherd Lutheran, visit goodshepherdlckingman.org. The Book of Numbers is far more than an ancient census report. It is the story of a people learning to trust God in the wilderness, and failing, and finding grace anyway. In this series, host Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors walk through the Old Testament book of Numbers chapter by chapter. We follow Israel from Sinai toward the Promised Land, through grumbling and rebellion, fiery serpents and a talking donkey, faithless spies and faithful priests. The journey is hard, the failures are many, and God remains faithful to a faithless people. These ancient accounts point us to Christ. The bronze serpent lifted on a pole points to the cross. The rock struck for water points to the one struck for us. The high priest whose death frees the manslayer points to the Great High Priest whose death sets us free forever. Join us as we discover that the wilderness has more to teach us than we ever expected. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel – Matthew 10:1-7 – Jesus summoned His Twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness. The names of the Twelve Apostles are these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus; Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus. Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, “Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.'” Memorial of Saint Augustine Zhao Rong, Priest, and Companions, Martyrs Saint Augustine and Companions, pray for us!

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030326.cfmFather Matthew Tomeny, MIC, reminds us that true love begins with God and flows outward to every human soul. He explains that those who love themselves more than God impose heavy burdens on those around them, while those who love God above all seek to lift the weight from others. In this spirit, St. Katharine Drexel, born into immense wealth in 1858, chose to see the world through God's eyes.Educated by devout parents, she inherited more than $7 million — a fortune that would equal hundreds of millions today. Yet she recognized that money was not as valuable as the good works it could perform.. Guided by the prophetic call “wash yourselves clean … make justice your aim,” she turned her inheritance into works of mercy for orphans, widows, African‑American families, and the Native‑American peoples.She requested missionaries for Wyoming from the Holy See, and the Pope's reply — “why don't you become a missionary?” — sparked a radical conversion. She surrendered her fortune, prompting headlines that read “Drexel Gives Up $7 Million.” From that surrender sprang 51convents, 60schools, and 145 missions across the United States, including Xavier University, the first historically Black Catholic university.For St. Katharine, the Eucharist was the living source of every act of charity. She taught that when we behold Christ hidden in the Sacrament, we also see Him hidden in each person we serve. The humble sacrifice of the Mass empowers us to love without selfish gain, inspiring and enabling her own life of self‑offering. ★ Support this podcast ★
The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030426.cfmFather Tyler Mentzer, MIC, invites us to contemplate what it truly means to “reign with Christ.” He opens with a striking analogy: a modern “geodome” that creates a flawless, wind‑less environment for trees. In that artificial sanctuary, the trees flourish at first, but their roots remain shallow. Without needing to withstand the wind, the trees become top‑heavy. Their fragile roots cannot anchor them, and they eventually topple.Father Tyler draws a parallel between those fragile trees and a life that lacks adversity. When we seek a perfect, trouble‑free existence, we attempt to eliminate the “wind” that deepens and strengthens our spiritual roots. The Gospel warns us that greatness in the Kingdom is measured, not by position, but by humble service. Jesus tells the disciples that the first shall be the greatest only when he becomes everyone else's servant.Father Tyler reminds us that the very trials Jesus endured — 40 days in the desert; the temptations of Satan; the agony of the Cross — were the winds that proved His unshakable love for the Father. Likewise, the request of James and John to sit at Christ's right and left reveals a self‑inflated desire for power. Jesus redirects them, teaching that true headship is found in laying down one's life for others, echoing the servant leadership modeled at the Last Supper when He washed His disciples' feet.In our own lives, the “wind” can be professional setbacks, relational conflicts, or the quiet suffering of daily duties. When we meet these challenges with faith, we are compelled to deepen our roots in the Father's love, allowing the Holy Spirit to strengthen us from within. The Sacraments — especially Confession, Baptism, and the Eucharist — provide the nourishment that sustains us through the storm, reminding us that we are already participants in Christ's reign when we serve selflessly.Father Tyler urges us to ask: Do I seek the comfort of a wind‑less dome, or do I welcome the gusts that shape my character? By choosing to serve, to love, and to sacrifice, we already reign with Christ, even if the world does not notice. At the final judgment, the Church teaches that we will be judged by the depth of our love of God and neigbor—; that is, by how far we have sunk our roots into the Father's boundless mercy. ★ Support this podcast ★
In 1 Samuel 21, David is desperate and on the run, and instead of seeking the Lord, he relies on his own plan. God still provides food and a weapon, not because David planned well, but because God is merciful. This passage challenges us to examine how often we try to save ourselves, and how easily we can treat holy things as tools instead of gifts meant to draw us to worship. God provides, even in our weakness, but He calls us to repentance, reverence, and deeper trust in Him. “So the priest gave him the holy bread…” – 1 Samuel 21:6
Why is Jesus named “The Christ”? Today we discover the meaning behind this powerful title. We also learn about the three-fold ministry of Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah. Fr. Mike explains the true meaning of the kingship of Jesus and how as followers of Christ, we have the opportunity to participate in his priestly, prophetic, and kingly ministry.

This discussion features: Judah Thomas, Lenny Selgado, Mike McHugh, and James Gowell.Edited by: Tim NicholsonIn Week 12 of Thriving in the Word, we continue our discussion on Hebrews 7–9 and talk about covenants, what they are, what the mean/meant and how the old law evolved into bending rules. We unpack the difference between the old covenant (old contract) and the new covenant (new heart), and why God's plan was never just “try harder and do it all right.” From types and shadows to the real thing, we trace how the Old Testament system pointed forward to Jesus—our spotless Lamb, our better Priest, and the One whose blood speaks a better word.Along the way, we get practical (and a little humorous):What does it mean for God to write His law on our hearts?Why do we have an innate sense of right and wrong, and why doesn't that save us?How does hardness of heart keep people stuck in performance mode?We chat about Simon who carried the Cross for Jesus and what it must've felt like to actually have Jesus “blood on you”?Why the first mile is obligation, but the second mile is where we share our faith.If you've ever felt crushed by the idea that you have to be perfect to be close to God, this episode is for you. Jesus doesn't upgrade your effort, He has a new contract.Help us spread the word about Thriving in the Word—and thanks for being part of the family.Have a blessed day.More info: www.thrive.church Give: www.thrive.church/give/ Need prayer? prayer@thrive.churchThis is a presentation of Thrive.Church © All Rights Reserved

Men are struggling—and it's not just stress, motivation, or “discipline.” In this conversation, Pastor + attorney Chris Sykes breaks down the real root issue behind so much modern male burnout: spiritual weakness. When a man feels spiritually weak, it shows up everywhere—passivity, anger, addiction cycles (porn, food, alcohol, nicotine), lack of purpose, and drifting in marriage. If you've ever felt like you're cracking under pressure, losing your temper, living numb, or letting your wife carry the spiritual leadership, this episode is for you. We talk about biblical masculinity vs toxic masculinity, how culture pushes men to “dominate or disappear,” and what God calls men to instead: lead with wisdom, courage, and love. You'll also hear real-life stories—men turning their lives around, marriages getting healthier, and fathers rebuilding trust with their kids. If you want to become a stronger husband, father, and man of faith—without fake hype—this is a practical, hope-filled roadmap to rebuild spiritual strength and start leading again. You'll learn how spiritual weakness fuels emotional weakness, mental fog, addiction patterns, and “aimless living,” and what to do when you feel like you're falling under pressure. You'll hear a clear, grounded explanation of biblical masculinity vs toxic masculinity, including why the difference is often a “twist of sin,” not the removal of masculinity. We unpack the two common extremes men swing into—passivity or aggression—and how to find assertive, loving leadership at home with your wife and kids. You'll also get simple, practical actions you can start immediately: get in the Word, build a prayer rhythm (even if you've never prayed out loud), improve physical health, and put yourself in environments where strong men sharpen other men. 00:00 Intro00:12 Meet Chris Sykes (pastor + attorney)01:24 Chris' story: church, law school, calling05:44 The biggest problem men face: spiritual weakness07:11 Aimlessness, isolation, addiction cycles11:58 How modern culture shapes weakness in men12:28 Prophet, Priest, King, Warrior framework14:10 Passivity vs aggression (dominate or disappear)22:18 How spiritual weakness impacts marriage + kids24:37 The $4,000 story: a man's life turns around27:13 Praying together + thriving marriage28:05 Crisis, counseling, and rebuilding as a father34:50 Practical solutions men can start today35:12 Bible reading habits + Proverbs/John38:29 How to pray out loud (simple method)42:09 Parenting: the “edge of the bed” habit43:49 Build brotherhood + get in strong environments44:42 Where to find Chris online #BiblicalManhood #ChristianMen #Masculinity #MarriageAdvice #SpiritualGrowth Learn more about your ad choices.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030226.cfmFather Chris Alar, MIC, reminds us that Jesus' warning, “Judge not, lest you be judged” applies to condemning persons, not discerning sin. He explains that while an act may be objectively grave — abortion, theft, or any violation of God's moral law — we often lack full knowledge of the person's heart and circumstances, so we must address the action, not label the individual.Father Chris warns against the cultural tide of relativism that blurs objective truth. He points to the Equality Act, describing it as a legislative effort that would force churches, schools, and hospitals to abandon the Church's teaching on marriage, gender, and the sanctity of life. He calls this “a wolf in sheep's clothing,” urging believers to stand firm on the truth revealed by Scripture and the Magisterium.Balancing mercy with truth, he cites Augustine: “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” True mercy involves lovingly correcting the errant behavior that endangers souls, not excusing it. He stresses that the Church's works of mercy include admonishing sinners, protecting the vulnerable, and upholding the dignity of every human person while defending the objective moral order. ★ Support this podcast ★

Isaiah 51:1–2 instructs us to, "Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you." In this episode, David and Jo Ann Seely unpack their article "The Ten Tests of Abraham and Sarah," uncovering how Abraham and Sarah emerge as models of covenant discipleship. The Seelys explore how these tests developed in scriptural commentary, highlight Sarah's often-overlooked trials, and discuss connections to the Book of Abraham. From this episode, we can gain a deeper understanding of how ancient traditions can illuminate the covenant path and enrich our own discipleship.

A tent sliced open from the inside, the man who witnessed the real exorcism that inspired The Exorcist, the silent film that invented horror, a 13-year-old reported missing who was already gone — and a $400 security deposit claimed on a van that had just been a bomb. It all happened on a February 26th sometime in the past. | The Morning Weird Darkness*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

Many of our political leaders invoke the Bible, but Rabbi Shai Held says many don't understand one of its most important commands. Rabbi Held argues that Scripture's call to love immigrants was a "moral revolution" and says the mistreatment of immigrants is an abomination in God's eyes. Skye interviews Father James Martin about his new memoir, "Work in Progress," about his journey from the business world to the priesthood. They also discuss the link between Jesuit spirituality and Protestant theology, and they get nerdy about Jesus and temple theology.
