Phil will share a message titled “Sanctifying Prodigals.” He will explore the sad but common phenomenon of people we love walking away from the God we love. How are Christians to hold, pray for and be in relationship loved ones who leave the church, or sometimes leave faith all together? Phil will open up a little referenced passage from 1 Corinthians 7 where Paul deals with the unique relationship between believers and unbelievers in his day.

On this episode of Truth & Justice Show, we sit down with Brenden Corbett, a candidate for Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, to discuss one of the most urgent challenges facing the criminal justice system today: the cycle of repeat crime and drug offenses. Corbett explains how many individuals exit the jail system only to return shortly after, trapped in a revolving door driven by addiction, lack of support, and failed reintegration. Rather than focusing solely on incarceration, he outlines a vision that prioritizes accountability paired with real solutions—helping individuals coming out of custody successfully assimilate back into society. The conversation explores public safety, rehabilitation, and the role law enforcement can play in breaking long-standing cycles that harm individuals, families, and communities across Los Angeles County. This episode offers a thoughtful look at how addressing reentry and recovery is essential to reducing crime and building safer neighborhoods.

The crisis of meaning among young people gets a lot of press; but a quieter crisis of calling afflicts every generation today. Dr. Arthur Brooks says the causes are the same: not knowing what our life is really and ultimately for. In his talk at The Heights Forum Convivium 2025, Dr. Brooks shares the facts about calling—where neuroscience, psychology, and theology all agree, and how he (finally) found his. He goes on to say that helping young people to discover the true Christian purpose of life and then one's personal calling is the missionary work of teachers.

Sanctifying the Moment: The Publican, the Pharisee, and the Seeds of the Kingdom Fr. Anthony Perkins; Luke 18:9-14 All of creation is good—and yet it was never meant to remain merely good. From the beginning, God made the world not as a finished product, but as something alive, dynamic, and capable of growth. Creation was designed to become better, to move toward beauty and perfection. Humanity was placed within it not as passive observers, but as gardeners, stewards, and priests—called to tend what God has made and lead it toward and into His glory. This brings us to the heart of the matter: The question is not whether God gives us good seeds, but whether we cooperate with grace so that the good becomes better—and the moment becomes a place where Christ and His Kingdom are made manifest among us. Nothing in God's creation is neutral. Everything that exists participates, however faintly, in the goodness of God—otherwise it would not exist at all. What is not offered toward its true end will still "grow," but in distorted directions—toward thorns rather than fruit. Grace is not resisted only by doing evil; it is resisted just as often by refusing to cultivate what God has given. Creation stands ready, waiting for the attention of its stewards. When what God has placed into our hands is met with humility, love, and understanding, it grows into something beautiful, bearing fruit that nourishes others and manifests the glory of God in tangible ways. But when it is met with pride, fear, or apathy, it still grows—only into something misshapen and bitter. As God warned after the Fall, we are perfectly capable of harvesting thorns and thistles as well as wheat. This is not abstract theology; it is how life actually works. Consider a newly married couple. Their relationship carries extraordinary potential. Will they cultivate it with patience, repentance, and self-giving love, allowing it to grow into a marriage that blesses their family and their community? Or will they water it with pride and resentment, forcing it to grow into something poisonous that wounds everyone who comes near? The same gift can grow in either direction. Consider, too, the life hidden in the womb. Like time and treasure, it is a gift entrusted to us, carrying breathtaking possibility. Will it be received with love and protection, allowed to grow into a bearer of light? Or will it be met with fear and rejection—so that what should have grown into life instead grows into wounds—shaping both a person and the culture that failed to guard it. Or think of the first meeting between strangers. In that brief moment lies the possibility of friendship, love, cooperation—or of manipulation, exploitation, or cold indifference. The moment itself is a seed. Whether it bears fruit depends on how it is received. If these examples feel distant, let us turn to what Americans understand very well: money and time. Every dollar we possess is a seed. It holds the potential to heal, to feed, to comfort, to build—or to be spent in ways that reinforce our addictions and fears. And every moment of time is heavy with possibility. Will it be offered in prayer or surrendered to distraction? Will it draw us toward communion or deeper into delusion? Each moment asks to be sanctified. This applies even to moments that seem only painful or broken. St. Dionysius reminds us that nothing exists without some participation in the Good, because God alone is the source of being. Even sorrow can become a seed—not because suffering is good, but because God can transfigure what we cannot fix. Such moments should not be rushed or explained away. But when they are met with humility and trust, God can draw forth fruit that would otherwise remain hidden. Today's Gospel gives us a clear image of how moments are either redeemed or ruined. The Pharisee was praying. He had the appearance of cultivation—fasting, tithing, religious seriousness—but pride spoiled the soil. The moment was not merely wasted; it was corrupted. The Publican was praying too. Whatever he had done with the gifts of his past, in this moment he offered humility. And God entered that small, pure offering. That single moment, received rightly, grew like a mustard seed, crowding out what had grown before. One humble moment outweighed years of distorted cultivation. St. John Chrysostom says it plainly: God is not offended by fasting; He is offended by pride. Humility can lift a life full of sins, and pride can ruin a life full of virtues. Within each of us lies the possibility of perfection, ready to manifest itself through every thought, word, and action. But this possibility can be warped by willfulness and pride. Let us not do that. Instead, let us receive every moment as an opportunity to cooperate with grace—to do something good and something beautiful—so that we ourselves, and the world entrusted to us, may become better and more beautiful. The Gospel today shows us that the sanctification of the moment does not begin with mastering Scripture, fasting rigorously, or tithing precisely. The Pharisee did all of those things—and they closed his soul to grace. Sanctification begins where the Publican began: with humility. On our own, we have nothing worthy to offer the moment, our neighbor, or God. And so we offer the only fitting gift: humility. That humility becomes an opening. Through it, grace enters and transforms the garden of the moment. And here is where we end, simply and directly: Every moment God gives us is a seed. When it is met with humility, Christ enters it. And when Christ enters a moment, the Kingdom is already there. So, brothers and sisters, let us sanctify the moment. Let us tend the seed. And let us allow what God has made good to become, by His mercy, truly beautiful.  

Bo - Sanctifying the Beginning

The video "Set Apart: A Reflection on the Readings for the 2nd Week in Ordinary Time" by Deacon Dave & Layperson Lisa Show reflects on the readings for the second Sunday in ordinary time, focusing on Jesus's baptism and the call to holiness.Key takeaways from the reflection include:Sanctifying Grace (0:24-0:36): The Holy Spirit descends upon us at baptism, granting us sanctifying grace, which calls us to a life of holiness and makes us more like God.Called to be Set Apart (0:50-1:08): Similar to how Jesus is the Son of God, we are called to be set apart from the world, living in it but not being "of this world," but rather "of the supernatural world of God."Vessels of Light and Hope (1:23-1:37): In difficult times, we are reminded to be vessels of light, hope, and God's love to others.Holiness as Disposition and Obedience (1:42-2:09): Drawing from St. Thérèse of Lisieux, holiness is described as a disposition where our hearts, souls, and wills align with God, and it involves obedience to His will.Humility and Dependence on God (2:33-3:28): Holiness also means acknowledging our smallness and weakness, allowing God to carry us, as our strength comes through Christ. This calls for a great dependency on God and openness to growth in virtues.Growth in Prudence (3:37-4:38): The speaker shares a personal experience of growing in prudence, a virtue that helps us discern and act on what is good, particularly in communication like texts and emails.Strengthening Sanctifying Grace (4:42-5:00): Sanctifying grace is strengthened through prayer, acts of sacrifice, and acts of charity or love.Embracing God's Will (5:38-5:57): Being holy involves making an act of will towards what God desires, even when it means sacrificing our own desires. This practice makes it easier over time and helps us grow in virtue, allowing us to joyfully and easily do what is good.Call to Love (6:26-6:35): Ultimately, we are called to a life of holiness and love to all we encounter, striving to be like Jesus.

Preacher: Pastor John Schubert Text: Genesis 22

Pastor Mike argues against the common misconception that sanctification is primarily the believer's effort (synergistic). Instead, he asserts the technical and proper definition is that sanctification is fundamentally the monergistic work of God's free grace, as the sanctifier, through the Holy Spirit. Mike distinguishes between positional sanctification (set apart at justification) and progressive/practical sanctification (the subsequent process of holy living, dying to sin, and living to righteousness). He emphasizes that a Christian's response to God's work is first by faith—believing they are dead to sin and alive to God in Christ (union with Christ) before yielding the fruit of obedience.

On today's pages, Menachot 7 and 8, the Talmud debates whether holiness can take hold when a sacrifice is offered in parts rather than all at once. Joined by Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin, Liel explores how sanctity doesn't require a perfect vessel—only a moment worth consecrating—recorded over a very good meal at Dougie's BBQ. If holiness can emerge in the middle of lunch, conversation, and everyday life, what excuse do we have for not finding it there? Listen and find out.

Menachot 8 : Marc Chipkin : 2026-01-19 Can the chavitin of a Kohen Gadol be offered in halves? Sanctifying flour alone, oil alone, or francincence alone. Vessels used for dry items and liquid items.

Preaching: Alex Sutherland "A Sanctifying Will" Hebrews 10:1-10

Given on the Feast of the Holy Family, 2026.

Peter wants the saints to realize that God's great mercy and kindness also tests our faith to make sure that we are truly on the path to salvation. Suffering is not always indication of sin in our lives but may indicate God's love and grace in helping us to become the men and women he would have us to be. All for his glory.

The Democrats narrative on ICE is dangerous, and the corporate media is fanning the flames. From morning TV to late-night, the narrative is all controlled by the liberal propaganda. Part of this propaganda is to sanctify Renee Good who got shot and died after trying to run over an ICE agent. Politicians like Jasmine Crockett and Eric Swalwell put on a show in congress and behind their fake tears calls for sacrificing life to fight back is ok and the democratic party is on board with it. Plus, Mamdani butts in, RFK Jr. flips the food pyramid upside down, the first Conservative Clown of the Week of 2026, and the first weekly Prayer to our Heavenly Father, and we all need it this new year.

Preacher: Russell Horner

Main idea: the Lord sets authorities over us, so that their wrath will help us pursue that wisdom which is so superior to folly. The sermon emphasizes that the certainty of a king's wrath—like a lion's roar—serves as a divine safeguard, deterring sin and reinforcing moral order, not merely through fear, but as a foretaste of God's ultimate justice. Wisdom is shown to be superior to folly in three key ways: through peacemaking, which halts destructive quarrels; through diligence, which avoids the ruin of laziness; and through self-knowledge, where the Word of God draws out the hidden counsel of the heart. The righteous man, walking in integrity and faithfulness, becomes a blessing to his family and society, reflecting God's character and multiplying godly generations. Ultimately, the sermon points to Christ as the perfect King and Wisdom, Whose holy wrath against sin compels believers to pursue holiness, humility, and love, conforming them to His image for the good of all.

Tony takes us on a deep dive into the story of Ananias & Sapphira. What we really need to see is what we normally do not see, the unseen/supernatural world. What is actually going on is between Satan and God.

Learning to rest in His timing, receive His Word, and walk in the healing power of truth.We opened with prayer and reflection, thanking God for His faithfulness and the power of the previous message. We took time to express gratitude for His healing and spiritual renewal, acknowledging the freedom and restoration His Word brings. As we reflected on trusting God, we recognized how difficult it can be to recall past messages in the moment—but also how the Holy Spirit faithfully brings truth to remembrance at the perfect time.Our discussion focused on waiting on God's perfect timing, using the example of Abraham and Sarah as a reminder that impatience often leads to unnecessary trouble. We emphasized that the Holy Spirit stores up truth within us and reveals it when our hearts are ready to receive it. God's provision is always perfect, and His timing is never late. We were encouraged to live out four simple but powerful words of counsel: be gentle, loving, kind, and patient.We then explored Christ as the pattern for sanctification, learning that God's conviction does not condemn but separates us from what harms us. The Spirit's work in our lives is surgical—using the “sword of the Spirit” to divide self-conscious thinking from God-conscious living. We were reminded that spiritual growth is not about striving but about surrendering to the process of transformation through Christ's example.The meeting concluded with reflections on the healing and transforming power of God's Word, referencing Hebrews 4 and Ephesians 5. We acknowledged how Scripture cuts through lies and restores the heart, and how approaching it prayerfully allows the Holy Spirit to work deeply within us. Just as 1 Thessalonians 2:13 says, the Word works effectively in those who believe. We prayed for continued healing, protection, and the joy that comes from abiding in His glory.Themes: Trusting God's timing and wisdom Sanctification through Christ's example The Spirit's role in transforming our minds Healing and power in the Word of God Joy and rest through surrenderScripture References: Hebrews 4; Ephesians 5; 1 Thessalonians 2:13Reflection Question: What area of my life is God calling me to wait on Him—and how can I prepare my heart to receive His Word with gentleness, patience, and trust?

Sanctifying grace is God's ongoing work of shaping us into the likeness of Christ. It does not happen through quick fixes or self-improvement, but through love that matures over time. In Episode 384 of Transforming Mission, we explore how God finishes what God starts, using the words of Philippians 1:3–11 as our guide. Through gratitude, prayer, partnership, and discernment, this conversation reminds us that grace isn't a one-time moment. Grace is a lifelong relationship. You'll be encouraged to notice where love is growing in your life, name your partners in grace, and practice habits that nurture spiritual growth. If you've ever felt weary, unfinished, or unsure how to grow in faith, this episode offers hope: God isn't done with you yet. Sanctifying grace is love in motion. Sanctifying grace is God forming your heart, your habits, and your leadership in Christ's image.  Read more and listen at https://transformingmission.org/384

Halakhot brought from the land of Israel to the scholars of Babylonia - Rav Dimi quoting R. Yochanan, on the dilemma raised by Ilfa: If water is left overnight, will that work to sanctify hands and feet? Which themselves can stay sanctified overnight. Also, the question of whether leaving the Temple courtyard would require re-washing and sanctifying the kohen's hands and feet. Can the hands and feet be sanctified outside of the Temple? What about if one needs the bathroom?

Fr. Peter Armenio joins Patrick to discuss Sanctifying Work What is the importance of work? (8:41) why is there dignity in work? (21:00) Break 1 (22:12) Nick - I think of Social Teaching and the rights and dignity of workers. In the precepts, we're told to support the church financially. In retirement, give your calendar to the Lord and he'll fill it in for you. When we retire, our greatest work is thinking of God more and he fills it in for us. Mary Lou - Thanks for the reminder that my work is sacred. I'm a hairdresser. Reminded me of a project I have coming up and how meaningless and tedious it seems compared to my spiritual life, but this woman likes to talk about the Lord. She's not Catholic, but it might be a way to talk about Jesus to her. (30:37) Email from Mary – Can you cut corners if you have to in order to get your work done? What does it mean to sanctify our work? (40:40) Break 2 (45:05) Charles - I'm a retired crime scene investigator. Witnessed many murders. Throughout my career, I realized maybe nobody was praying for this person before they died. At some point, I started praying as I responded to the crime scene. Wanted to share that if there are other officers listening.

This series is sponsored by Mira and Daniel Stokar.In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we speak with Rachel Tova Ebner, translator of a new volume of the teachings of Rav Kook, about what the spirituality of Rav Kook adds to our Jewish practice and to our understanding of ourselves.As we approach Rav Kook's yahrzeit (3 Elul), we're directing our attention to the spiritual dimension of Yiddishkeit outlined in his works. In this episode we discuss:What does Rav Kook teach us about our yearning for God?What is the role of feelings in our inner work? What does it mean for us to change as the Torah stays the same? Tune in to hear a conversation about the paradox inherent in trying to “change the past” via teshuva. Interview begins at 14:57.Rachel Tova Ebner grew up in Manhattan and made Aliyah to Jerusalem with her family in 1982.

Is work a punishment for sin? Cale explains why this is not the case, and the sanctity that can come from work – any type of work. What does a priest do? And what is the significance of the priestly garments in the Old Testament? There are some amazing connections between the structure of the Temple in Jerusalem and Jesus’s death on the cross.
