Podcasts about Sacramental

Across the broad span of human history, from the ancient world to the modern tech-state, Sacramental Materialism seems to secretly dominate our agreements and disagreements with one another. Join today, CALL IN, and let's see what the Holy Spirit has in store!    

American Evangelical Christianity is in crisis. The story of how it got here is an important part of this series but there are several reasons so many evangelical Christians are discontent and looking for something else, something with historical roots, with a sense of tradition, with a sense of of transcendence, with reverent worship, and with a deeper view of the sacraments. It is the conviction of the Heidelberg Reformation Association that the answer to the longing for more lies not in Rome or in the Eastern Orthodox traditions but, as it were, in Geneva. In this series we will explore the history, theology, piety and practice of Roman Catholicism and the Eastern Orthodox traditions, and we will compare and contrast those two traditions with historic Reformed theology, piety, and practice.

The broad span of human history, from the ancient world to the modern tech-state, Sacramental Materialism seems to secretly dominate all of our agreements and disagreements with one another. Join today, CALL IN, and lets see what the Holy Spirit has in store!

As the Church prepares to celebrate the feast of Pope St. Pius X, Father Philip Michael Tangorra joins the Son Rise Morning Show to explore the remarkable legacy of this influential pope. They discuss Pope St. Pius X’s decision to establish the age of reason—around age seven—as the norm for First Confession and First Holy Communion, and why this was a matter of Church discipline rather than doctrine. Father Tangorra also highlights Pius X’s many contributions to Catholic life, including promoting frequent and daily Communion, beginning the first comprehensive codification of canon law, reforming the Breviary, and championing sacred music. The conversation offers a look at how many practices Catholics today take for granted can be traced directly to the reforms of Pope St. Pius X.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

7. In the Cloud and in the Sea - Sacramental Reality (Exodus: Redeemed to Worship) - Fr. Michael Flowers 07.26.26 by St. Aidan's Anglican Church, KC

The very soul and primary gift of Eastern spirituality is living a Sacramental World View. Our special guest will explain how this is possible and why it is crucial in raising balanced , holy, fully-alive children.

In this episode of Vestiges After Dark, Bishop Bryan Ouellette examines the often misunderstood relationship between Rome and the Independent Sacramental Movement, exploring the theological, historical, and canonical tensions that continue to shape perceptions on both sides. Why are independent bishops and clergy so often dismissed without serious investigation? How does Rome distinguish between sacramental validity and ecclesial legitimacy? And are public attitudes toward independent clergy always consistent with official Catholic sacramental theology? The discussion takes a grounded and historically informed approach to questions surrounding apostolic succession, sacramental recognition, canon law, and the practical realities faced by clergy outside formal Roman structures. Bishop Bryan also addresses the broader cultural assumptions that frequently surround independent Catholic jurisdictions and why misunderstandings about legitimacy, schism, and sacramental identity remain so persistent. Rather than relying on polemics or sensational claims, this episode focuses on thoughtful discussion, difficult questions, and careful reflection. Whether listeners are familiar with the Independent Sacramental Movement or encountering these issues for the first time, the conversation aims to provide historical context, theological clarity, and a deeper understanding of one of Christianity's lesser-understood religious landscapes.To call into the show with your questions, comments, or stories, dial: (207) 544-1983.

Today in our Leadership For Everyday Disciples series, Jared Bryson discusses the idea of Sacramental Leadership. How do the Sacraments influence our leadership and how can leadership itself be a sacramental. Adam reflects on the day's Gospel reading. Download the Covenant Network app today!

Some promises weren't designed to go viral. For centuries, Christians gathered around one table. One loaf. One cup. Together. Then came a pandemic. Then came the screens. Now millions have worshipped online. Many found comfort. Some wonder if the Church finally went digital for good. But here's what no algorithm can deliver. What no livestream can consecrate. What no bandwidth can transmit. In this episode, we enter one of the most provocative conversations in modern Anglicanism: Can the Eucharist be virtual? And if not—why? This is not about rejecting technology. It's about discovering what remains irreplaceable when every other experience can be mediated through glass. Prepare to rethink presence itself.

Patrick answers questions about genetics and the origins of human diversity, pulling scientific research and Catholic teaching together. He takes listeners through nuanced discussions on the requirements for sacraments, the boundaries of marriage, and the interplay between faith and works, pausing to address misunderstandings, personal stories, and even the surprising controversy of flags at Mass. Unexpected humor and honest confessions surface as Patrick reacts spontaneously, weaving science, doctrine, and lived experience into moments both challenging and uplifting. Braelyn (12-years-old) - How do we get such diverse people in the world if we all came from Adam and Eve? (00:32) Ryan - Would a person who is infiltrating the Church, like a communist, still have a valid baptism if their intent was to deceive? (10:05) Raul - Someone is using 'Origin' to justify 'faith alone'. How can I respond to that? (11:47) Jeannie - I think that a lot of people who have problems with the Catholic Church is from the demanding work required from us to understand the faith. (21:56) Sunny - How do Protestants get into Heaven if they don't have the strict rules of getting there? (29:57) Margaret - I heard the Pope came out with seven changes; one having to do with celibacy and priests. Is this true? (37:48) Don - Does the Church allow Sacramental marriage if the intent is to never have children? (42:52) Lucy - When someone is living with mortal sin, how are their prayers received by God? (44:59) Sally - Our priest is saying that the American flag is not allowed to be displayed in the Catholic Church. (47:25)

Offended Liturgically - The Secular & Sacramental (Part 7) by St. Mark ATL

Father Marc Lenneman joins Deacon Patrick Conley to discuss Devotion to the Sacred Heart The importance of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. 11:09 Imagery of the Sacred heart 11:17 What is the History of the Sacred Heart? Break 1 11:29 The 12 promises of Jesus. 11:39 Walter - God has given us intellect and the Sacraments. If we do not also have faith in our Sacraments can't fully understand. Jesus VERY heart of the Sacraments. Break 2 What is the Catholic perspective about reparations? Sacramental life and connection to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

During the First Friday gathering in Saginaw on May 1, Bishop Gruss quoted Pope Francis and reminded listeners that every baptized person is called to be a missionary disciple.“A missionary disciple is someone who knows Jesus personally, loves Him deeply, follows Him faithfully, and shares Him boldly,” he said in his talk. (View the video below or watch it HERE.)He stressed that evangelization is not about having all the answers, but about sharing one's encounter with Christ.“A witness is someone who says, ‘I have met the Lord and He has changed my life,'” Bishop Gruss said.Bishop Gruss reflected on the Sacrament of Confirmation and missionary discipleship, and encouraged Catholics to rediscover the power of the Holy Spirit already at work within them through the Sacraments. He emphasized that Confirmation is inseparable from missionary discipleship. “The Spirit was poured upon the Church for one reason,” he said. “To evangelize.”“Wake Up the Sleeping Giant”Bishop Gruss encouraged Catholics to develop a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit and rely less on self-sufficiency. “The Holy Spirit is already in you,” he said. “But perhaps He's dormant. Wake up the sleeping giant in your life. You have everything you need to live as a disciple of Jesus in the world today.”First Friday attendees were encouraged to pray simple prayers each day asking the Holy Spirit to become more active in their lives.He also encouraged young people preparing for Confirmation to approach the Sacrament with openness and courage. The Sacrament of Confirmation is meant to be a life-changing moment in one's life and call to discipleship, as it was for the disciples of the early church."“Don't be afraid to live an extraordinary life in Christ,” he said. “Christ is calling all of us to be saints.”Speaking during the Diocese's confirmation season, Bishop Gruss reflected on visiting parishes across the Diocese to celebrate Confirmation with young people. “Confirmation is not an ending. It doesn't complete anything. It's a beginning,” Bishop Gruss said.He explained that Catholics often reduce the Sacraments to events they attend rather than encounters with Jesus Christ himself. “When we look at the Sacramental life merely as events, then we have diminished them by 99.9%,” he said.Instead of saying, “I'm going to Mass,” Bishop Gruss suggested Catholics think differently: “I'm going for an encounter with the risen Lord Jesus.”Jesus Is the One Who ConfirmsBishop Gruss reminded attendees that Jesus himself is the minister of every Sacrament. “Jesus baptized you. He confirmed you. He gave himself to you in Holy Communion,” he said. “In the Sacrament of Confirmation, he uses my thumb.”Reflecting on his own Confirmation and Baptism dates, Bishop Gruss encouraged Catholics to learn and celebrate those dates as important milestones in their lives of faith. “These are two of the most important dates,” he said, “more important than your birthday.”He urged Catholics to contact the parish where they were baptized to obtain their Sacramental records and reflect more intentionally on those moments of grace.Confirmation and the Holy SpiritDrawing from the Acts of the Apostles, Bishop Gruss compared Confirmation to the transformation experienced by the apostles at Pentecost. Before receiving the Holy Spirit, the apostles hid in fear. Afterward, they boldly proclaimed the Gospel.“Peter went from fear and denial of Jesus to being a strong, faithful witness of the Gospel,” Bishop Gruss said. “Everything changed.”"That same Holy Spirit is given to the disciples is given to each person in the Sacrament of Confirmation, not diminished in any way. This is why it should be a profound life-changing experience."Bishop Gruss encouraged Catholics to ask the Lord to “bring alive the grace” of Confirmation again in their lives.“The Spirit is never dead,” he said. “Ask the Holy Spirit to ignite your faith.”

Liturgical Practice - The Secular & Sacramental (Part 5) by St. Mark ATL

At the heart of the Liturgy of the Eucharist is the epiclesis, when the priest begs the Holy Spirit to come and transform the bread and wine into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ. The Catechism explains this mysterious reality, and Fr. Mike reiterates that the Mass is not a repetition of Christ's once-and-for-all sacrifice, but a re-presentation and celebration of his eternal sacrifice on the Cross. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1104-1112. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

In this insightful interview, Dr. Gary Tyra discusses the transformative power of sacramental preaching, emphasizing the Holy Spirit's role in creating genuine encounters with God through sermons. This discussion explores the theological foundations, practical applications, and the importance of discernment in preaching that is prophetic, incarnational, and Spirit-empowered.

Liturgical Journey - The Secular & Sacramental (Part 4) by St. Mark ATL

Liturgical Antiquity - The Secular & Sacramental (Part 3) by St. Mark ATL

What if the biggest obstacle to understanding Christianity is not disbelief—but modernity itself?   In this episode, Buck chats with Dr. Zachary Porcu to discuss sacramental Christianity, the modern secular mindset, and why so many people today—even Christians—struggle to see reality the way the ancient Church did.   They explore the difference between treating Christianity as a system of ideas versus participating in it as a lived reality.
