It tends to think any sort of emotion constitutes a threat, any sort of insight into how the mind or perceptual system works is more than you can handle, so what you want is to slowly get to know yourself.” –Tucker Peck, Ph.D.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Is humility making yourself small… or living in the truth? Joe and Father Boniface unpack humility as honesty—seeing ourselves as we are before God—and why that frees us to use our real gifts in service (yes, even taking the seat that has your name on it). We explore self-forgetfulness, how affirmation heals the reflex to self-protect, and practical ways to grow from self-concern into self-gift. Throughout, we keep all three lenses in view: integrity with ourselves, charity toward others, under a living relationship with God.Key IdeasHumility is truth: neither self-inflation nor false modesty, but an honest acceptance of who we are before God—and using our gifts accordingly.Concrete example: sometimes the humble act is to take the role or “reserved spot” that's yours, because it serves the community best.Know your tilt: some of us oversell; others undersell—humility learns our tendency and seeks honest mirrors (trusted people who can praise and correct).Self-forgetfulness grows from being loved and affirmed; emotional safety reduces self-protective focus and opens us to others.A simple path: notice insecurity triggers, share them with someone who loves you, receive affirmation there—and then go build that same affirmation in others this week.Links & ReferencesConrad Baars, affirmation and emotional development — Conrad Baars Institute (official): https://www.conradbaars.comPope Francis, Gaudete et Exsultate (On the Call to Holiness in Today's World) — official Vatican text: https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20180319_gaudete-et-exsultate.htmlCTA If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

“Saint” in Scripture is not used to single out extraordinary individuals or exclusively for the faithful departed. Saint describes each and every follower of Jesus Christ. And so “sainthood” is not something we achieve or something we only await. Sainthood is our present reality and our future hope.

God calls us “saints” because we are holy through Jesus. Our status before God gives us stamina to face a hostile world.

God grants the status of “saint” (which means “holy one”) to every believer. It might appear that status is of little practical value. If you achieve the status “billionaire” or “celebrity” or “senator” your life is going to be vastly different than most other people, most likely better. But if God calls you a saint, just like everyone else, you will struggle with trials, temptations, and sin. Being a saint does not make life easier. In some ways it makes life more difficult as we struggle against a world that is hostile toward Christ. This might lead us to ask, “Is it really that big a deal that God calls us saints?” For centuries, the Church has answered that question by celebrating the Festival of All Saints. This week we get a peek at the saints who have died and now live in the glory of Christ's light. Through eyes of faith, we see the saints enjoying glory in the place where “there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain” (Revelation 21:1-6). We realize what a precious gift this status of saint actually is. We understand that soon enough we shall join all the saints in that glorious heavenly city. And that gives us amazing stamina to face the challenges of this world with the strength Christ gives to all his saints.

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel - Luke 12:39-48 - Jesus said to his disciples: "Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come." Then Peter said, "Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?" And the Lord replied, "Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the master will put in charge of his servants to distribute the food allowance at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so. Truly, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property. But if that servant says to himself, 'My master is delayed in coming,' and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat and drink and get drunk, then that servant's master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish the servant severely and assign him a place with the unfaithful. That servant who knew his master's will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely; and the servant who was ignorant of his master's will but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating shall be beaten only lightly. Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more." Memorial of Saint John Paul II, Pope Saint John Paul, pray for us!

The First Step to Sainthood: Receiving God's Love Today's Homily reflects on the feast of St. Andrew Kim and the 103 Korean martyrs, . . . . . . who gave their lives out of love for God. Their sacrifice did not begin with faith or even love for God, but with first receiving God's love. Using a demonstration with an empty cup, the Homily illustrates that we cannot give what we do not have: only by opening our hearts to receive God's love can we share it with others. Many fail because they close their hearts, coming to church but not allowing themselves to be filled. The conviction that “God loves me” transforms life and enables us to love others selflessly. Nothing . . . neither persecution nor suffering . . . can separate us from God's love. The Gospel warns against being ashamed of Christ; those who truly receive His love will not hide their faith. The faithful are urged to open their hearts, receive God's love, and boldly share it, even in the face of trials. Listen to this Meditation Media.

A secular examination of the Catholic Church's latest attempt to shore up declining European membership and fatten its coffers the canonization of the first millennial saint. The hosts mock the transparent, desperate marketing strategy of turning a deceased computer-savvy teen, dubbed 'God's influencer,' into a brand icon for younger generations. They dissect the blatant hypocrisy of institutional religion targeting the uneducated and vulnerable—including youth—while spending vast sums to verify ancient 'miracles' instead of providing real-world relief.

Mike Gendron is founder and director of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministry. Mike was a devout Roman Catholic for over 3 decades and was taught to rely upon the authority of the church above all else. Mike searched the Scriptures and was amazed to find that what he read in Scripture contradicted the teaching and tradition of the church he had been a part of for so long. He trusted Jesus as his Savior and now the Bible has become his sole authority in all matters of faith. Mike is the author of the books, Preparing for Eternity and Contending for the Gospel and has produced numerous videos with warnings concerning false teachings vs. the truth of the Scriptures. Recently, Pope Leo XIV presided over his first saint-making ceremony at St. Peter's Square. At this ceremony he declared a British born, Italian teenager, Carlo Acutis, who died in 2006, to be the first millennial saint. As this broadcast explains, in order to become a saint according to Catholic teaching, a person has to have lived an exemplary life, die, then have 2 miracles attributed to them. After the first miracle the individual is beautified, with the second miracle qualifying the individual to be canonized. On the other hand, how does a person become a saint according to the Bible? Is the Catholic Church truly honoring God in this regard? Is it possible that this is just a marketing ploy to make the Catholic Church more relevant to youth? Also, new images are coming out of Mary over the Mercy Seat between the cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant. What's the background on this and is this just another example of the worship of Mary replacing the worship of Jesus?

What if sainthood didn't look like dusty robes and ancient icons… but sneakers, coding, and mountain climbing? On September 7, 2025, Pope Leo XIV canonized Carlo Acutis—a teen “God's Influencer” who used the internet to spread devotion to the Eucharist—and Pier Giorgio Frassati—a young adventurer who turned hiking and serving the poor into a way of following Jesus. These two young saints change the game: they prove holiness isn't locked away in history books—it's for us, here and now. In this episode, we explore: 

In this conversation, Leci and Jenise explore their personal experiences of faith, friendship, and the significance of newly canonized saints in the Catholic Church. They discuss how these saints exemplify grace and the ordinary paths to holiness, emphasizing the importance of community and living a life centered around faith. The dialogue reflects on the impact of saints on modern life and the relatable nature of their stories, encouraging listeners to find inspiration in their own journeys of faith.

In this video, Christian Barrett compares how the Roman Catholic Church canonizes saints with how the Bible defines sainthood. He looks at Pope Leo XIV's recent canonization of two new saints (Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati), explores what that means, and asks how someone officially becomes a saint in Catholicism. He also dives into the more important question: what does Scripture teach about sainthood, righteousness, and who truly belongs to God?Support Emet Ministries, so we can continue to provide content and resources to help disciples become disciplers: https://veritas-ministry-415223.churchcenter.com/givingMake sure to subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EmetMinistryFor more resources, visit emetministry.org Follow us: on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/emetministries/profilecard/?igsh=Z2c5NnA1dTJhN20y on Spotify:⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-four-fold-disciple/id1505547928on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-four-fold-disciple/id1505547928my reading list:⁠ https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/74696644-christian-barrett

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageHave you ever felt that sainthood is impossibly out of reach? Mary Ann Budnick's refreshing perspective in "You Can Become a Saint" shatters this misconception, revealing that holiness isn't reserved for spiritual superstars—it's precisely what God created you for.The book's central message hits like a thunderbolt: "The best kept secret in the world is that God created you to be a saint. That is the only purpose for your creation." Through practical guidance, Budnick dismantles the barriers we place between ourselves and holiness, offering what she calls the "ABCs of becoming a saint." Rather than presenting sanctity as something abstract or unattainable, she provides a concrete roadmap that begins with bringing order to your life—creating the spiritual and practical foundation where virtue can flourish.Prayer forms the cornerstone of this journey. Drawing from St. Thomas Aquinas's simple answer to what makes a saint—"Will it"—and St. Joan of Arc's motto "God served first," Budnick crafts a compelling formula for sanctity that feels genuinely achievable. She demystifies heroic virtue as not about occasional grand gestures but consistent excellence in ordinary tasks. "Heroic virtue is not doing something nice or difficult every now or then," she writes, "It's being heroic each day, in every task that we undertake." This perspective transforms our understanding of holiness from spectacular achievements to quiet, persistent choices made moment by moment.Whether you're a devout Catholic or simply curious about integrating authentic spirituality into your daily life, this accessible 316-page guide challenges you to see that holiness isn't just possible—it's the path to your most fulfilled life. Ready to discover how your unique vocation serves as your personal path to sainthood? The journey starts with a single act of will.Key Points from the Episode:• God created you to be a saint - this is your only purpose for creation• Sainthood requires both dying in a state of sanctifying grace and living a life of heroic virtue• Heroic virtue means being heroic each day in every task, not just occasionally• The "ABCs of becoming a saint" provide a practical roadmap to holiness• Prayer is non-negotiable - even Pope John Paul II prioritized prayer during critical situations• Bringing order to your life creates the foundation for hearing God's voice• Small, consistent acts of faith can transform your relationship with God• Using your vocation as your path to holiness rather than just pursuing worldly successKeep fighting the good fight and remember that God's grace makes holiness possible for everyone.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

7/23/25 - At just six years old, Venerable Antonietta Meo wrote profound letters to Jesus while enduring bone cancer, offering her pain for others with childlike simplicity and deep spiritual insight. Decades later, Blessed Chiara Badano, a vibrant Italian teenager, faced terminal cancer with radiant joy, refusing morphine so she could “offer her suffering to Jesus.” This episode delves into the lives of these extraordinary young girls – one from 1930s Rome, the other from 1980s Italy – whose heroic virtue and unwavering love for Christ continue to move hearts and draw souls closer to God. Witness how childlike faith can become a profound theological witness!
