Comments? Questions? Send us a message!Welcome to Podcast 174. Today I'm with Dr. Bruce Hebel, author of the incredible, life altering book Forgiving Forward: Experience the Freedom of the Gospel through the Power of Forgiveness.All close followers of Jesus Christ know that we should forgive others, but there are things about forgiveness that are about as clear as mud to us. In this episode of SFTP, we talked with Bruce about the common misconceptions that are out there about what forgiveness really means, and how to actually do it.Among the misconceptions are the following ones:-forgiveness is not a process (it's a decision)-to forgive someone, there's no need to go to that person and tell him/her. -Forgiveness is transacted with the Father. See Mark 11:25-26-forgiveness is not the same thing as reconciliation-forgiveness is not salvific; but, forgiveness of the wounds of others determines how the Father acts toward us in this life (Matthew 6:12, 14-15)And more...Feedback and/or questions welcomed!For Poimen Ministries, its staff, ministries, and focus, go to poimenministries.com.

Arthur was President of the United States. The Phillies were originally known as the Philadelphia Quakers, but they were renamed the Phillies in 1890. Despite some outstanding seasons, the Phillies did not achieve first place until 1915, when they lost to the Red Sox in the World Series, four games to one.In 1932, Phillies outfielder Chuck Klein won the NL MVP award, and the following year, he claimed the elusive Triple Crown. Despite having some good players on the team, the Phillies wouldn't win the NL Pennant again until 1950, with pitcher Jim Konstanty winning the NL MVP that same year. However, the Phillies had the misfortune of facing the powerhouse New York Yankees in the World Series and lost four games to zero.From 1951 to 1975, the Phillies experienced just nine winning seasons and no pennants. One of the few highlights was when pitcher Steve Carlton won the Cy Young Award in 1972.

Even then, they mainly focused on the Super Heavyweights. So, the only weightlifter I knew much about was the Soviet strongman Vasily Alexeyev, the first man to clean & jerk 500 lbs.

The title of this week's episode is a shout out to philosopher Bertrand Russell, who wrote a book by the same name: Why I am not a Christian. This week I talk about religion as an addiction, responsible use of religion, how religion often programs people to avoid accountability and double down on things they know are not true, the problem with the Bible and other religious books, and lots more. *Of all the many things people complained about in this episode, there is one error that is worth fixing: the goats I claim Jesus threw off a cliff for no reason were actually pigs.

November 7, 2024 Today's Reading: Catechism - Table of duties: To workers of all kindsDaily Lectionary: Jeremiah 11:1-23; Jeremiah 12:1-19:15; Matthew 24:1-28To Workers of all kinds. Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever God he does, whether he is slave or free. Ephesians 6:5-8In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Are we forgetting a man in the boat? When Jesus calls James and John to leave their fishing business to follow him as Apostles, we might forget who else was in that boat (See Mark 1:16-20).Zebedee, their father, was in that boat, too. He was not called to be an Apostle. What became of him? The text tells us Zebedee was left in the boat with “the hired servants.” This was a business—there were employees, and all that entails.Jesus called Twelve men as Apostles. But other Christians were not called to be Apostles. Jesus didn't forget them. Every Christian has several vocations. Zebedee, left in the boat, had the vocation of catching fish and even of running a business with employees. And we can add to Zebedee's God-given vocations such things as father, husband, neighbor, and more. That's how Jesus takes care of us and our families in this world. He first provides the blood of redemption on the cross, forgiving our sins and cleansing our conscience. But our Lord also provides for our daily needs. He sets us in vocations, whether catching fish or building boats or many other vocations (carpenter, engineer, doctor, nurse, teacher, police officer, and many, many more you might think of). This is Jesus using our hands to provide for our neighbors. When we see how our Lord honors us by using our hands and minds and bodies to serve family and neighbor, we can then have much joy in our labor (even when that labor is difficult and not very fun), and, as the Catechism puts it, “serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men.” For Jesus loves all people and honors us by using us as His hands to serve our neighbor. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.O Lord, as you gave Zebedee to serve his neighbor by providing fish, give to us vocations to serve our neighbor according to the gifts you give us. As we serve in our various vocations of student or teacher, of sister or brother, of child or parent, and other vocations where we are employed to provide for house and home, food and drink, health and well-being of our neighbor, let us rejoice in all which you give us to do, knowing that we are your redeemed servants.

Sunday, October 27, 2024 Mark 10:46-5246 Then they reached Jericho, and as Jesus and his disciples left town, a large crowd followed him. A blind beggar named Bartimaeus (son of Timaeus) was sitting beside the road. 47 When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was nearby, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”48 “Be quiet!” many of the people yelled at him.But he only shouted louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”49 When Jesus heard him, he stopped and said, “Tell him to come here.”So they called the blind man. “Cheer up,” they said. “Come on, he's calling you!” 50 Bartimaeus threw aside his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus. 51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked.“My Rabbi,” the blind man said, “I want to see!”52 And Jesus said to him, “Go, for your faith has healed you.” Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus down the road.

Decades later, a co-worker reignites his passion, leading to a collection that continues to hold sentimental value.

"'Do not go gentle in that good night.' That's the line that I see dancing behind the blind Bartimaeus story, this man persistent enough to not be left in the dark. Dylan Thomas was the Welsh poet who authored the furious, defiant lines: "Do not go gentle into that good night…burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.' How was Bartimaeus' sight restored? By a power outside himself - you can count on that. Yet, at the same time, there was a faith-shaped persistence at work; a hope-filled determination; a refusal to go gentle into that good night. "There's no assurance that you will always get what you seek - if ever; no guarantee that the door will always open, that your prayer will be answered as you expect, or that your 'faith will always become sight' - to quote an appropriate New Testament turn of phrase. Life is far too unpredictable and exceedingly mysterious for any of that. And anyone trying to tell you different or sell you a warranty is just trying to, again to use an appropriate phrase, to rob you blind. But as people of faith - we have to have a little faith." (See Mark 10:46-52)
"Jesus, son of David, have pity on me...Son of David, have pity on me." This is what Bartimeaus calls out to Jesus. Fr. Jim reminds us that Bartimeaus is one of the most important figures in the Gospel because he recognizes Jesus as the one who saves, even before the disciples do.from Mark 10:46-52As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd,Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus,sat by the roadside begging.On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth,he began to cry out and say,"Jesus, son of David, have pity on me."And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he kept calling out all the more,"Son of David, have pity on me."Jesus stopped and said, "Call him."So they called the blind man, saying to him,"Take courage; get up, Jesus is calling you."Read the full scripture passage: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/102724.cfmHeart to Heart Catholic Media MinistryEvangelize Seekers.

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYBefore we break down the Oakland Raider's 1967 season, let's take a quick look at their first seven seasons. Things didn't look promising in their first three seasons, as the team won only 9 of 42 games. Things changed quickly in 1963 when Al Davis took over as head coach and general manager. The Raiders finished the season with a 10–4 record, a huge improvement over their 1–13 record in 1962. Unfortunately for Oakland, they were in the same division as the 11–3 SD Chargers, who went on to win the AFL Championship.The team digressed in 1964, finishing with a 5–7–2 record, before bouncing back in 1965 & 1966 with identical 8–5–1 records. The Raiders made some good moves during the off-season, picking up quarterbacks Daryle Lamonica from the Buffalo Bills, and George Blanda (who was also a top-notch kicker) from the Houston Oilers. They also picked up cornerback Willie Brown from the Denver Broncos and assistant coach John Madden from San Diego State.

"What are we to make of this strange and wonderful story, this encounter Jesus has with a foreign woman, this talk of dogs and outcasts? The story is told, once again, to reinforce a constant and primary theme of Jesus' ethic and ministry: He is breaker of boundaries; literally and figuratively. He intentionally moves into the foreign places; into the marginal places; out to the borders; out to where we his followers are often incredibly uncomfortable. Jesus is always pushing the religious limits, always critiquing the institutional rules, always expanding the horizon, always making space for those regarded as incompatible or unacceptable. Jesus has a soft spot for fools, drunks, little children, for starving puppies begging under the table; the poor, the rejected, for those whose noses have been bloodied by a hundred slamming doors; for the weak, the down and out, the stained, the marked, the failures. Jesus is always out there hanging with the crowd we wouldn't be caught dead with. "For the life of me, I can't figure out where today's church came up with this prim and proper, tame and courteous Jesus, who is little more than a mascot for middle and upper class respectability. This man was a revolutionary in the truest sense of the word, come to welcome all who would come, even if it alienated those who thought that they were the ones who had cornered the market on faith and belief in God; even if his words and way was seen as an affront to the religious establishment" (See Mark 7:24-29).
