Gerry Crete and Theresa Robinson join us to explore that question: “What does a thriving marriage and flourishing in family life look like? We bring in Internal Family Systems, attachment theory, perfectionism, the importance of family members delighting in each other, parents' vows and scripts, how loving children involves more than the will, and the importance of “being with” each other.

Message from Terry Williams on July 26, 2026
Friday, 24 July 2026 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to Him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. Matthew 21:31 “‘Which from the two, He did the ‘determination, the father'?' They say to him, ‘The first.' He says to them, the ‘Jesus', ‘Amen! I say to you that the taxmen and the prostitutes, they precede you into the ‘kingdom, the God'.'” (CG) In the previous verse, Jesus continued the parable, noting that the second son said he would go into the field, but he didn't go. Jesus next asks the leader a question, “Which from the two, He did the ‘determination, the father'?” The question probably didn't take long for them to think through. The first son said he wouldn't go, but later regretted it and went. The second son said he would go, but never went. The answer is obvious, and so, “They say to him, ‘The first.'” The leaders of Israel were able to figure it out. Even if the first was testy in his response and left dad without committing to work, he had a conscience and let it work through until he resolved to go. The second was quick with a positive response, but he never did what he said he would do. Having answered correctly, Matthew next records, “He says to them, the ‘Jesus', ‘Amen! I say to you that the taxmen and the prostitutes.'” A new word is seen here, porné, a sex worker. Figuratively, it is applied to idolaters. The two categories, taxmen and prostitutes, were about as lowly as one could go in the Israelite society. Understanding that Jesus is speaking to the leaders of Israel, who were rather amazing in their own eyes, the next words must have been very hard for them to receive. These lowly people, Jesus continues, “they precede you into the ‘kingdom, the God.'” Jesus will explain the reason for His words in the next verse, but it is obvious that they are the second son referred to in the parable. They have said they would do something, but their actions belie their words. Life application: Think about how God receives people. The Bible says we are saved by grace through faith. No works are included in the equation. And yet, all over the world, people are doing their very best to earn God's favor in some manner or another. This is true with the world at large, but the attitude permeates Christianity as well. Much of this is prompted by denominations and churches that mandate certain things from their people, as if those things will make a person right before God. Obviously, money is one of the big items on such a list. Sometimes, the expectation for money is so inculcated into people that there is no need to mention tithing. The RCC has a pretty good handle on their people giving, even though tithing is not a main weekly teaching. If you go into a Baptist church, you might hear tithing mentioned two or three times in every meeting you attend. Some churches make it sound like you will receive God's favor if you give, pulling verses from Scripture out of their context in order to get their followers to give more. But the implication is that in not giving, you are not doing right. They will use catch phrases, repeating them again and again to assure their followers that giving will mean getting. The great ATM in the sky rewards you with interest every time you give to the church. In the end, such teachings make people feel like they must earn God's favor. Other groups of people believe they are inherently good as individuals or as a culture. Because of this, God loves them and will swing the door of salvation open to them just because of who they are. Many Jewish people are certain they are in this category and that they have automatic entrance into heaven because of who they are (Jews). Jesus sweeps all of this nonsense away. He alone has accomplished what is necessary to be pleasing to God. You cannot buy your way into it, and you are not inherently special enough for God to make an exception for you. The things you possess, the degrees you might have, the family line you belong to, etc., are not exceptions to God's plan of salvation. There are those who have received the gospel, accepted Jesus' payment for their sin, and who will be saved, and there is everyone else. Jesus' words to the leaders of Israel must have been shocking and offensive to their ears, and this was before He died for their sins. How much more offended must they have been when they were told that they were sinners like all other people, and they would not see heaven without believing the gospel? But this is how it was, how it is, and how it will be. Jesus alone restores fallen man to God. Let us be wise in our choice and then diligent in our proclamation to others. To the glory of God who sent Jesus to bring us back to Himself! Lord God Almighty, thank You for receiving lowly people who come to You by faith. Thank You for allowing us to be included in Your wonderful plan of salvation through simple belief in what You have done. All praise, glory, and honor to You forever and ever. Amen.

We're in a season of transition at RCC, stepping out before our new building is ready. It feels uncertain, maybe even uncomfortable. But here's what God keeps reminding us: "I will never leave you nor forsake you."Just like Joshua stood at the Jordan River, facing the unknown after Moses died, we're at our own crossing point. God told Joshua three times to "be strong and courageous" because Joshua was scared. Maybe you're scared too—about our church's transition, your health, your marriage, your job. Whatever you're facing, God is asking: Do you believe I'm with you?Jesus was forsaken on the cross so we never would be. That's the promise we stand on as we move forward. We're not forsaken. We have a purpose in this season. Will you lean in with us? Consecrate your heart and ask God what He's doing in this moment.It's going to be okay. He's with us wherever we go.

“Is Catholicism a false church?” This question opens a discussion on the validity of Catholicism compared to Eastern Orthodoxy, particularly regarding changes in liturgy and fasting rules. The conversation also addresses whether first-century Christians prayed to saints and explores what Catholics believe about salvation in contrast to the “once saved, always saved” perspective. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 04:35 – Considering Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. If the majority of bishops left the RCC, is that a sign they are a false church? Also, if Catholics changed liturgy/fasting rules while EO have been consistent, is that a sign they are a false church? 20:30 – How to Respond to the claim. Did first-century Christians pray to the saints? My protestant friend says it started in the third century. 31:05 – What do Catholics believe they have to do to be saved, and how do I respond to the once saved always saved belief? What are simple verses to refute that? 42:22 – Agnostic Brother Asked thinks Christianity is too Anthropocentric. He has a hard time believing that the universe was made for human beings primarily. 47:20 – Best Friend and brother want to convert to EO because of the filioque. How can I respond?

In this very special live edition of The Voice of Retail podcast — the first live recording in nearly 550 episodes on the main-stage at Retaiul Council of Canada's STORE conference — host Michael LeBlanc takes the stage at Retail Council of Canada's STORE Conference in Toronto with three of Canadian retail's most compelling leaders: Julia Freeman, CEO of The Jilly Box, David Brownstein, President of Browns Shoes, and back on the podcast for his third visit Selwyn Crittendon, CEO of IKEA Canada and newly appointed Chair of the Retail Council of Canada Board of Directors. Julia Freeman shares the remarkable story of The Jilly Box, co-founded by content creator Jillian Harris — fresh off her Independent Retail Ambassador of the Year 2026 award — which sells 20,000 surprise subscription boxes in under 24 hours, 27 seasons in a row, while championing small Canadian, women-owned and equity-deserving brands. Julia offers a candid assessment of the state of Canadian e-commerce, the patriotic "shop Canadian" wave reshaping consumer behaviour post-tariffs, and how The Market by The Jilly Box marketplace is delivering industry-leading conversion with four units per basket. David Brownstein, fourth-generation leader of Montreal-based Browns Shoes, celebrates a banner week as his father, CEO Michael Brownstein, received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Excellence in Retailing Awards Gala. David reveals the store design philosophy behind Browns' 71 locations — wide entrances, best merchandise up front, AI-embedded traffic counting — plus why Browns has never hired a store leader from outside in 86 years, and why brand partners like On, Birkenstock and UGG are complements, not competitors. Selwyn Crittendon lays out IKEA Canada's grounded AI philosophy: better retailing, better operational efficiency, and better jobs — built on clean data, mandatory AI literacy training for 7,200 coworkers, and a firm commitment that AI augments rather than replaces people. He also unpacks IKEA's small-format expansion strategy, from plan and order points pioneered in Canada to the new London, Ontario store and IKEA's bold SoHo move in New York, and explains why sustainability paired with affordability is "the new superpower of retail." The conversation ranges from family business dynamics and talent retention to influencer marketing strategy — including Julia's advice that your associates and small business partners may be your most powerful untapped brand ambassadors — and wraps with David's three keys to retail success today: empower frontline employees to make customer-service decisions, break down organizational silos to stay agile in the AI era, and invest relentlessly in retaining great people. Recorded in front of a live studio audience — complete with a surprise Jilly Box giveaway featuring the sold-out first-ever men's box — this episode captures the energy, optimism and hard-won wisdom of Canadian retail's best, and Selwyn's reflections on why he stepped up to chair the RCC board during turbulent times. Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc, a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and now, media entrepreneur. He has been on the front lines of retail industry change for his entire career. Michael has delivered keynotes, hosted fire-side discussions and participated worldwide in thought leadership panels. He brings 25+ years of brand/retail/marketing & eCommerce leadership experience with Levi's, Black & Decker, Hudson's Bay, CanWest Media, Pandora Jewellery, The Shopping Channel and Retail Council of Canada to his advisory, speaking and media practice.Michael produces and hosts a network of leading retail trade podcasts, including the award-winning No.1 independent retail industry podcast in America, Remarkable Retail with his partner, Dallas-based best-selling author Steve Dennis; Canada's top retail industry podcast The Voice of Retail and Canada's top food industry and one of the top Canadian-produced management independent podcasts in the country, The Food Professor with Dr. Sylvain Charlebois from Dalhousie University in Halifax.Rethink Retail has recognized Michael as one of the top global retail experts for the fifth year in a row, the National Retail Federation has designated Michael as on their Top Retail Voices for 2025 and 2026.

There's been a lot of talk in the past few years about how young men are leaving Protestant churches for the Roman Catholic Church. It's easy to forget that the Roman Catholic Church, like all other cults and false religions, uses carnal means and methods to cause those who are dead in their sins and trespasses to feel as if they are spiritually alive unto God. And because the RCC has been practicing and perfecting these techniques for over a thousand years, it is easy for people to forget that they are a corrupt institution through and through. In this episode, we want to focus on the many carnal means and techniques that the Roman Catholic Church uses to make its followers feel spiritual. Because the carnal man does not believe in an invisible God they give him a man who sits on a throne and wears a robe and a mitre and that is something the carnal man can believe in. Because the carnal man cannot imagine the glory of God they have built cathedrals so that a man can see the architecture and hear and feel the music and believe in the strength of man's hand instead of having to believe in The Invisible God. Because they cannot believe in the invisible work of prayer, they give you beads to hold in your hand and set prayers to pray over and over to make you feel spiritual. Instead of being able to approach God or their brothers and sisters in Christ and confess our sins they set up a confessional where you confess before a priest or an icon. Because they cannot believe in the spiritual nature of the church as the mother of us all, they give you Mary to worship as a mother, because people cannot believe that God is their father they tell them to call men their father which Jesus expressly forbade. Because they cannot understand God neither can they know him they give you a pantheon of saints you can choose to relate to and pray to instead of relating to the God you cannot see. They use every sense and artifice of man to create false worship, from images to incense to relics to holy places to icons. Because they have nothing but carnal means, they use every carnal method they can think of. The Roman Catholic Church is not unified, it is not holy, it is not spiritual. What it is great at, and what it has perfected over 1600 years, is making carnal men feel spiritual when they are truly headed to hell.Thumbnail image by Leonhard NiederwimmerTimecodes00:00:00 Appeal of Catholicism00:16:28 Corruption of Catholic Church00:28:25 Syncretism00:31:34 Schism00:34:56 Carnality00:48:59 Idolatry00:54:51 Vain Repetition01:04:27 Incense01:08:39 God's Word01:27:50 Church Fathers01:39:47 Sacred Secular01:57:17 ConclusionProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

Deification: A secret in the Catholic Church that really shouldn't be a secret. Join Dr. Gerry Crete, Dr Matthew Tsakanikas, professor of theology at Christendom College, and Dr. Peter for a wide-ranging discussion of the glory, the adventure, the awe of partaking of God's divine nature with the entirety of our being – our hearts, souls, minds, bodies, innermost selves, and all our parts, from a perspective informed by Internal Family Systems and grounded in a Catholic anthropology and metaphysics. What does it really mean for all of you to be a beloved little son or beloved little daughter of God?

If you are a Catholic who wants to overcome the natural level obstacles to sharing deeply in God's divine nature as his beloved little son or beloved little daughter, and are into parts and systems thinking, consider applying to the RCC at www.soulsandhearts.com/rcc.Online Workshop for those Catholic Formators new to IFS, “Catholic Parts Work in Human Formation” will be on June 10, 2026 from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM Eastern, register at https://members.soulsandhearts.com/Catholic-parts-workThe Formation for Formators Retreat is August 10-13, 2026 in Bloomington Indiana. The theme is “Authentic Being and Authentic Relating.” This retreat focuses on you finding and loving you in more of your parts, including parts you have not yet encountered – your exiles – more at www.soulsandhearts.com/FFF Conversation Hours with Dr. Peter are every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM Eastern Time on his cell at 317.567.9594 – it's an opportunity to discuss themes from this podcat or any of the materials generated by Souls and Hearts. Key Moments12:00 What is deification/theosis/divinization? Being made a son or daughter of God means sharing in God's nature. 15:00 Ephesians chapter 1 reveals God's plan from before the foundation of the world to makes us sons in the Son. 16:52 Dr. Gerry's objections to the IFS conceptualization of “Self”21:01 The image of God within us is dynamic – the “capax Dei” 21:50 How Adam and Eve lost their interior integration with the Fall and how Jesus opens the way for re-integration.27:05 Satan to Adam and Eve “Ye shall become like gods….” 30:30 How do we receive the love of God? 34:20 The internal battle: “Parts of me are drawn to receive God's love and parts of me are not…”41:19 The necessity of entering into a loving relationship with Jesus for interior integration43:40 God's wills that you flourish in all domains and in all your parts48:40 Divinization and the human body53:00 Divinization is “too hot to handle” for many Christians – but it's the essential framework for all of the Catholic life, it's the essential story that holds all the other stories. 1:02:00 The importance of accepting all of my parts as they are right now. God accepts all parts as they are, so I need to as well. Acceptance of a part does not mean endorsing that part's disordered desires, impulses, and emotions1:08:35 Sometimes parts find it easier to tolerate being loved by someone other than God at first, and that lesser loves can help parts open up to God's direct love1:25:01 Dr. Tsakanikas' key takeaway: Love makes the lover want to make the beloved equal to himself,1:26:28 Dr, Gerry's takeaway: It's important for us to evangelize each of our own parts1:27:54 Dr. Peter's takeaway: Real love is given freely. But in our fallen human states, in our fallen human condition, it's not received without a cost to our parts.

He who is able to accept it, let him accept it.” Matthew 19:12 Note: You can listen to today's commentary courtesy of our friends at the “Bible in Ten” podcast. (Click Here to listen) You can also read this commentary, scrolling with music, courtesy of our friends at “Discern the Bible” on YouTube. (Click Here to listen), or at Rumble (Click Here to listen). “For they are eunuchs who from mother's womb were born thus, and they are eunuchs who, they were eunuchized by men, and they are eunuchs who, they eunuchized themselves through the ‘kingdom, the heavens'. The ‘being able to contain' he contains.” (CG) In the previous verse, Jesus told the disciples about those who could accept the premise concerning whether to marry or not. He next explains who those exceptions would be, beginning, “For they are eunuchs who, ‘from mother's womb' were born thus.” A new word is seen here, the noun eunouchos, a eunuch. Strong's definition says, “a castrated person (such being employed in Oriental bed-chambers); by extension an impotent or unmarried man; by implication, a chamberlain (state-officer) -- eunuch.” The word is derived from eune, a bed, and echo, to have or hold. As such, the idea of “alone in bed” is understood. Jesus' words of this first clause extend the idea of being a eunuch to a person born incapable of sex. Such a person is the first exception to the thought presented in the previous verse. Jesus continues, saying, “and they are eunuchs who, they were eunuchized by men.” Another new word is seen, the verb eunouchizó, to eunuchize. It signifies making someone unable to procreate through mutilation or removal of the genitals (castration). The practice was once common. Today, it is much less common, but it has not died out. Religious cults and isolated subcultures still engage in the practice. Further, sexual criminals are still castrated either through surgery or chemical castration. These are the second exception. The third category is noted as Jesus continues, “and they are eunuchs who, they eunuchized themselves through the ‘kingdom, the heavens'.” This is the second and last use of the verb eunouchizó. As noted, the word extends beyond the standard idea of castration. It will figuratively be applied to those who don't engage in sexual activity for other reasons, including impotency or abstinence. Some people are disciplined enough not to engage in sexual activity. They have placed something else above that aspect of life. In the case of acceptable self-denial, Jesus notes that there are those who have purposefully decided to pursue the kingdom of the heavens above marriage. Paul was in this category. He refers to it in 1 Corinthians 7 and 1 Corinthians 9. He placed kingdom priorities above taking a wife. These are the three exceptions that are noted. The intent of Jesus' words is that, apart from these categories, marriage is the normally expected avenue for humanity. This is reflected in Jesus' final words on the matter, “The ‘being able to contain' he contains.” In other words, if you fall into one of these categories, then your state is an acceptable exception to the original intent for humanity, which is to marry and remain married to your spouse. Life application: In 1 Timothy 4, Paul says – “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; 5 for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.” 1 Timothy 4:1-5 There are problems with forcing abstinence on others. First, it is contrary to the intent set forth for humanity as given in the first pages of Scripture. Second, it generally leads to other, more deviant side problems. Paul's words in these verses are like an indictment on Roman Catholicism, penned in advance of the rise of that ideology. In order to serve the Lord as a “priest” or a “nun,” there must be a vow of abstinence, something not found in Scripture. It forces people to go against what is natural. That has led to sexual deviancy within their orders that is almost unmatched in any religion in history. Homosexuality, molesting of children, violation of the “vows” between priests and lay people, or priests and the nunnery have filled Roman Catholicism since its inception. The RCC also commands that adherents abstain from certain foods at certain times, such as on certain days of the week. These completely unbiblical practices set it off as the world's largest aberrant cult. Deviation from the Bible, either through allowing what it does not allow or commanding what it does not forbid, is wholly unacceptable. Be sure to stick with the Bible. Reject any teaching in any denomination or local church that does not comply with what the Bible presents. Lord God, help us to know and apply Your precious word to our lives. May we not deviate from it. If we have had something contrary to what it teaches trained into us, help us to identify that precept and cut it out of our lives. May it be so to Your glory. Amen.

Assumptions are one of the most common ways we manage anxiety in relationships, but they also keep us stuck in the very patterns we're trying to heal. In this episode, Vanessa Bennett, LMFT is joined by Madeleine Downey, RCC to unpack how mind-reading, overfunctioning, and “being the bad guy in someone's story” often come from early beliefs rooted in shame. They walk through a practical loop you can use in real time—belief → assumption → behavior → confirmation—and why bringing “the story I'm telling myself is…” into the light can diffuse conflict and deepen intimacy. This is a relational invitation to stop living inside imagined certainty and start choosing clarity, vulnerability, and responsibility.Additional ResourcesExplore: VanessaBennett.comBook: The Motherhood MythCommunity: Inner Compass CollectiveTraining: Inner Compass AcademyConnect with Inner CompassFollow on InstagramConnect with Vanessa Bennett:Follow on InstagramFollow on TikTokLearn more on SubstackConnect with Vanessa Bennett on LinkedInSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
