In this thought-provoking episode of Father and Joe, hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey delve into the complex reactions of the townspeople in the biblical story of the Gerasene demoniac. Join them as they uncover the profound spiritual insights hidden within this narrative from the Gospel of Matthew.As Joe questions the puzzling reaction of the townspeople, who ask Jesus to leave after He miraculously heals a demon-possessed man, Father Boniface provides a deep and enlightening understanding. He explains that the power of Jesus is fundamentally the power of love, capable of transforming and freeing even the most isolated and tormented individuals. Yet, it is this very power that instills fear and apprehension among the townspeople—a fear of the unknown and the transformations it may demand.Throughout the episode, Father Boniface illuminates the transformative power of love and mercy, both in biblical times and in our daily lives. He emphasizes that God's wild and reckless love always meets us where we are, extending mercy that respects our individual pacing and willingness to convert. Through mercy, God desires to guide us toward justice—right relationships with ourselves and others.The hosts draw a parallel between this biblical story and our own struggles with demons, not necessarily supernatural, but the personal battles that isolate us from others. They discuss the importance of relationships in healing and growth, highlighting how we can reach out for help and offer love to those in need.As the conversation unfolds, Father Boniface and Joe also reflect on the often overlooked significance of Divine Mercy in the Catholic tradition. They remind listeners of the profound message: God's love is ever-present, extending to us, no matter our circumstances or how far we have strayed. In a world filled with challenges and uncertainties, this episode calls us to embrace the love of God, which not only frees us from our demons but empowers us to repair broken relationships and live in right harmony with others.Whether you struggle with faith, question divine interventions, or seek a more profound connection with God, this episode offers spiritual guidance and encouragement to delve deeper into the transformative power of love and mercy.Tags:Biblical Stories, Faith, Spirituality, Jesus, Demons, Love, Mercy, Divinity, Relationships, Christianity, Faith Journey, Divine Interventions, Healing, Transformation, Gospel of Matthew, Apostle Reactions, God's Power, Divine Love, Isolation, Fear of Change, Right Relationships, Catholic Tradition, Divine Mercy, Faith Reflection, Bible Study, Personal Growth, Spiritual Guidance, Overcoming Fear, Community Healing, Love and Transformation, Catholic Faith, Emotional Healing, Power of Love, Faith Challenges, Personal Demons, Biblical Insights, Faith Conversations, Divine Love, Mental Battles, Healing Through Relationships, Faithful DiscussionsHashtags:#BiblicalStories, #Faith, #Spirituality, #Jesus, #Demons, #Love, #Mercy, #Divinity, #Relationships, #Christianity, #FaithJourney, #DivineInterventions, #Healing, #Transformation, #GospelOfMatthew, #ApostleReactions, #GodPower, #DivineLove, #Isolation, #FearOfChange, #RightRelationships, #CatholicTradition, #DivineMercy, #FaithReflection, #BibleStudy, #PersonalGrowth, #SpiritualGuidance, #OvercomingFear, #CommunityHealing, #CatholicFaith, #EmotionalHealing, #PowerOfLove, #FaithChallenges, #PersonalDemons, #BiblicalInsights, #FaithConversations, #MentalBattles, #HealingThroughRelationships, #FaithfulDiscussions

Please join Corrinne Jenner and me as we talk about Healing your Relationships & the blocks to finding and having the right relationship. Join us to explore: -The deeper ( energetic / spiritual) meaning behind relationships ( or lack of) is always to heal our core wounds so that we feel more whole and complete within ourselves. The more whole we are within the more we will attract the same in another. -We will energetically attract partner's that trigger the unhealed parts of us. Showing us / revealing what is there that still needs healing . This will be our childhood wounds and trauma. So ultimately the more healed we are, the less we will attract someone who triggers us or accept or tolerate this. -When YOU shift how you act or respond - your partner will also shift as it is an energetic exchange but its important that both partners need to be willing to heal , support and grow together otherwise you will grow . So staying in the wrong relationship keeps you stuck. -Why we feel a deep connection on a soul level with some people. How staying single is good for your growth but ultimate growth happens within a relationship. -The role of the divine feminine and divine masculine within relationships -Corrinne will be facilitating a live process on the call that you don't want to miss. The Mirror process will reveal the wounds that we carry around with us. It will help us in the healing of these wounds and the deeper parts of us so that we can feel more whole within. This will then enhance and deepen our current relationship OR enable us to attract the right relationship. A holistic and intuitive energy alchemist with a passion for transformational healing by getting to the ‘soul truth' at the core of the issue. Corrinne can very quickly help you to access ‘the core wound' that is hazing your truth. Then with her unique framework that works through the chakra system, plus bespoke channelled energetic and inner child healing processes she can help you to release and heal the blockages and gain a greater understanding of your personal story, the unconscious beliefs behind them, updating them with a new empowering belief and un-weave the patterns that are holding you back through each chakra.

Join us as we continue our journey through the book of Genesis, exploring God's partnership with a specific family to bring His redemption plan to humanity. This week, we shift our focus from Joseph to Judah—one of Jacob's twelve sons—and discover how his story is a reflection of our own. Judah's journey is filled with mistakes, deception, and broken relationships, yet through ownership and repentance, his legacy becomes part of God's redemptive plan. No matter how big our mistakes, God does not require perfection—only a willingness to recognize, own, and turn from our sin. If you're struggling with past mistakes or at a crossroads in life, this message is for you. There is no condemnation for those in Christ—only freedom and restoration when we surrender to Him.00:00 - Welcome & Introduction to Genesis Series 00:25 - The Partnership Between God & Abraham 00:54 - Abraham's Mistake & The Promise of Isaac 01:57 - Isaac & Rebecca's Sons: Esau & Jacob 02:27 - Jacob's Deception & His Journey to Laban 02:57 - The Story of Leah, Rachel, & Jacob's Family 04:50 - Judah's Story Begins – A Reflection of Our Own 07:08 - The Reality of Mistakes & Their Consequences 09:12 - Joseph, Judah, & The Power of Recognition 10:47 - Selling Joseph into Slavery – The Depth of Betrayal 12:37 - Judah's Personal Downfall & The Road to Timna 15:38 - Tamar's Bold Move & Judah's Moment of Truth 18:32 - The Turning Point – Recognizing & Owning Sin 25:16 - Judah's Transformation & The Lineage of Jesus 29:54 - God's Grace: No Condemnation in Christ 32:08 - A Call to Repentance & Restoration 33:36 - Closing Prayer & Invitation to Receive Prayer 36:00 - Final Blessing – Walk in Freedom & Right Relationship

Preaching for The World Day of Peace (also the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God), Marie Dennis offers a reflection on resetting and reimagining in this year of Jubilee: "Sabbath, Sabbatical and Jubilee are rooted in right relationships. Neither people nor the earth were to be exhausted or exploited. The Jubilee year offers a time for the land and the people to rest, for forgiveness of debts, the return of land to its original owners, and the release of slaves. It is an economic, cultural, environmental, and communal reset that occurs every 50 years, signifying a time to renew nonviolent ways and to re-establish proper relationships with God, with one another, and with creation." Marie Dennis is the senior program director of Pax Christi International's Catholic Nonviolence Initiative. She was a member of the Pax Christi International board from 1999 to 2019 and co-president from 2007 to 2019. She is a Pax Christi USA Ambassador of Peace and was named a Pax Christi USA Teacher of Peace in 2022.

Text us is you have a question for Matt or a guest. We want to hear from you. In this week's episode I return to one of the core questions that not only led to the development of the show but also my decision to leave my job. Am I in right relationship? I share a few thoughts on being in integrity with my values as one way to answer the question. Then I dive more deeply into what has emerged for me over the past year or so, which is that I want to work and live at the intersection of purpose, joy, and justice. I talk about what these words mean to me and offer an example of how my work shows up right now at that intersection. The journal prompts for this week are, 1) am I in right relationship with myself and the people I serve, 2) what are the conditions for how I work that would put me in right relationship (I reference two examples in the episode purpose, joy, and justice and freedom, joy, and sanctuary)?Please use this short survey to share your feedback. This will help us make the show better as we move into year two. Thank you.

Text us is you have a question for Matt or a guest. We want to hear from you. For this week's journal episode, I scrolled back into my photos to see where I was one year ago. I was on production of Standing with Mom's, a short film we produced for Mother's Outreach Network about their guaranteed income pilot. One of the lessons I learned from MON's founder, Melody Webb, is that we should believe in people, invest in people, and our investments should meet the need as defined by the people we serve. I talk about how this lesson can be turned into a simple framework for assessing our organizations, programs, and ourselves. And by creating the space to go through a process of answering a series of questions, I think we can see if we are in right relationship with ourselves and the people we serve. If you want to watch Standing with Mom's and learn more about Melody and Mother's Outreach Network, you can visit their website.
