After weeks immersed in Revelation's visions of dragons, beasts, and the woman clothed with the sun, Patrick and Jonah turn to another revelation—the angelic world. Drawing on Rudolf Steiner's The Work of the Angels in Man's Astral Body, they explore a living hierarchy of beings—angels, archangels, archai, and the Elohim—each shaping humanity's unfolding in its own way.This conversation moves from Genesis's image of God hovering over the waters to Steiner's picture of a cosmos alive with helpers. Rather than fighting evil, the task becomes learning to recognize guidance—to breathe in the breath of spirit and breathe out creative love.#LightInEveryThing #ChristianCommunity #RudolfSteiner #Angels #Anthroposophy #SpiritualScience #Podcast #FacingEvilSeriesSupport the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

Guest preacher Nichola Torbett shares reflections from the letter to the church in Sardis, reminding us that where we focus our attention dictates what we move toward. How might we be called to adjust our gaze - away from the enactors of imperial violence and toward those who are being crucified by it?-----Nichola Torbett (they/she) is a white, queer, raised-working-class organizer, survivor, recovering addict, direct action trainer, teacher, abolitionist, and preacher in the radical Christian tradition. Politicized predominantly by Black- and Brown-led movement struggles of Oakland, California, they are a student of transformative justice, disability justice, and ancestral lineage healing (specializing in working with Euro-descended folks with ancestors who committed harm). Driven by her passion for both spiritual formation and social change, she co-founded Seminary of the Street, a training academy for love warriors, in 2009; Second Acts, a liturgical direct action affinity group, in 2014; and the Alternatives to Policing Project, organizing faith communities into abolitionist visions of community safety, in 2018. She is co-editor with Vahisha Hasan of Resipiscence: a Lenten Devotional for Dismantling White Supremacy and was, for many years, a regular contributor to The Word Is Resistance, a podcast from SURJ-Faith and SURJ-Action. She has contributed to GEEZ Magazine, Liturgy That Matters from enfleshed, The Yoke, and the recent book Building Up a New World. They currently serve as associate director of Kirkridge Retreat & Study Center.

Discernment alone isn't enough. The sword must find its counter-movement in worship. In this conversation, Patrick and Jonah explore Revelation 12's great battle—Michael's sword casting down the dragon, and the Lamb whose gentleness completes the victory. They linger on how clarity without reverence can harden into pride, and how only devotion to the Lamb protects the soul from the very forces it tries to understand.Through Vladimir Soloviev's Tale of the Antichrist and C.S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength, they trace the subtle temptation to know evil but never kneel before the Good. True discernment, they suggest, leads to communion: the sword prepares the way, but worship restores life.Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

How does the “Lights” sermon draw people into the message of Jesus as the Light of the World?The crèche—often a quiet, simple decoration—has deep theological meaning. How do you help congregations rediscover its significance?On Christmas, the focus turns to wrapped presents. How do you use the imagery of gifts to reveal the meaning of God's greatest gift, Jesus Christ?What part of this series was most meaningful for you personally, and why?About the GuestDr. David J.

God designs suffering not only as a way to wean Christians off of self and onto grace, but also as a way to spotlight that grace and make it shine.

The Gospel of the Skull Crusher | KWR0053 Kingdom War Room Hosts: Dr. Michael K. Lake: Founder, Biblical Life College and Seminary, Scholar-in-Residence, Biblical Life Assembly, Co-Host of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, and Best-Selling Author. Dr. Mike Spaulding: Pastor, Lima Calvary Chapel, Host of Dr. Mike Live, aplogetist, and a prolific author. Dr. Corby Shuey: Pastor, Mount Zion Road Church, President-Elect of Biblical Life Seminary, and Christian author. Guest: Joel Richardson is a New York Times bestselling author, filmmaker, and Bible teacher known for his clear and passionate teaching on biblical prophecy, the return of Jesus, and God's redemptive plan for Israel and the nations. Through his books, films, and online content, Joel seeks to equip believers with a grounded, apocalyptic hope rooted in the Scriptures. The Gospel of the Skull Crusher: The Gloriously Good News of God's Plan to Fix Everything is a sweeping journey through the entire biblical story—from Eden to the New Jerusalem—revealing the Messiah as the promised "seed of the woman" who crushes the serpent's head (Genesis 3:15). This book traces the war between the two seeds through every major covenant, prophecy, and hope of Scripture. Combining biblical theology, prophetic insight, and devotional clarity, Joel Richardson unveils how the gospel is not merely about escaping this world, but about God's promise to restore all things through the victorious reign of His Son. To Purchase Book: store.joelstrumpet.com == Description Dr. Michael Lake is joined by Dr. Mike Spaulding, Dr. Corby Shuey, and special guest Joel Richardson (NYT bestselling author, filmmaker, Bible teacher) to unpack Joel's new book, The Gospel of the Skull Crusher: The Glorious Good News of God's Plan for Fixing Everything. From Genesis 3:15 and the "war of the seeds" to Jesus as the Divine Warrior, we explore why the Bible is not just a promise book—it's a war narrative with a guaranteed victory at the Cross, fully manifested at the Lord's return. We tackle the "now and not yet" paradigm, embodied hope and the resurrection, the prophetic centrality of Israel (Abrahamic & Davidic covenants), and why recovering a Hebraic, non-Platonic worldview matters for discipleship, evangelism, and everyday faith. Joel also shares why he crafted a tactile, heirloom-quality book (linen cover, foil, ribbon, full-color art) to help readers slow down, wonder, and worship—plus how to access his ongoing chapter-by-chapter Bible study series.

Join us this week on Respect Life Radio as we welcome back David Bonagura Jr., author of 100 Tough Questions for Catholics: Common Obstacles to Faith Today and adjunct professor at St. Joseph's Seminary and Catholic International University. This episode dives into his recent essay for Catholic Exchange, “The Obligation of the Conscience,”—an adaptation from his introduction to Jerome's Tears: Letters to Friends in Mourning (Sophia Institute Press). In his essay Bonagura writes: “Conscience, in recent decades, has been recast as an argument for relativism and a shield to cover one's immoral choices. … ‘I know that the Church teaches this act is wrong, but my conscience tells me that it is okay, so therefore I'm going to do it.'” In our conversation we go deeper into questions like: What does the Church mean by the “obligation of conscience”? How do we properly form our conscience through study, prayer and engagement with Church teaching? What happens when conscience is mis‑formed or abused in the face of cultural relativism? How does this relate to life issues, moral decisions and a Catholic's adherence to truth—not merely personal preference? Whether you're navigating complex cultural questions or looking to deepen your understanding of Catholic moral life, this episode offers practical insight and encouragement for forming a conscience rooted in truth and faith. Tune in and deepen your understanding of why conscience is not just “what I feel,” but a sacred responsibility to live in alignment with God's law. 

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have.The Rosary is foremost among them.Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.The Great Rosary Campaign was a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders.Due to popular demand, and the inherent value of praying the Rosary and doing penance for conversions, the Great Rosary Campaign will remain a pillar of Eternal Christendom's weekly content. Every Sunday, we will continue to announce a weekly call to pray and do penance for both non-Catholics and Catholics.THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for the conversion of faculty and students at "The Master's Seminary," which was founded by the well-known protestant (and oftentimes very anti-Catholic) pastor John MacArthur, who died earlier this year. May he rest in peace. We have heard from sources in the know that there has been increased interest in reading the Church Fathers among both faculty and students, and some have either decided to convert, or are close.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a 24 hour water fast, adjusted for your state in life.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:Keeping the FaithMoral renovationConversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com

As billionaire Peter Thiel takes his Antichrist lecture tour around the world, Patrick and Jonah return to Scripture to ask what John actually meant by “Antichrist.” Drawing from Revelation, the letters of John, and Vladimir Soloviev's haunting story The Antichrist, they explore how this archetype appears whenever the self refuses to bow, refuses to be wounded, refuses to love through sacrifice.Against the world's fascination with power and control stands the Lamb—wounded yet overflowing with life.Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

ShownotesWe hear about the different stages of grief and know that loss can bring about feelings of shock, anger, bargaining, But what people don't often recognize is that grief can also bring out other wounds. Past wounds and issues that were never addressed. It can bring forth issues that might not have been apparent until after a loved one dies, and now we, the grief-stricken, have to face those feelings and work towards healing. Today's guest  gives us some powerful approaches to healing and has developed a powerful ministry to help with healing. Our GuestSonja Corbitt launched the Love Heals model after seeing extraordinary growth and healing in the lives of those she teaches through what Jesus called the “first and greatest” Commandment in Mark 12:30.Sonja's podcasts, award-winning books, and sold-out speaking events led to one-on-one consultations; which became the Love Heals Masterclass; and then Love Heals LIVE, all of which are directly and indirectly transforming the hearts, souls, minds, and bodies of hundreds of thousands of people.Drawing on decades of experience and training at the Holy Apostles College and Seminary; Catholic Psychotherapy Association; NICABM; Compassionate Inquiry; Encounter School of Ministry; JPII Healing Center Ministry Training; and Unbound®, Sonja teaches how to feel better and how to be better.STOP Tool​Sin not​Tell God​Offer the sacrifice of righteousness ​Put your trust in GodScripture​Mark 12:30​Genesis 1:28​Psalm 4:4-5​Proverbs 26:11​1 Corinthians 13 (Love)​Song of Solomon 6:3, ​Sirach (38) Links​Love Heals by Sonja Corbitt​JPII Apostolic Letter on Redemptive Suffering (Salvifici doloris)​St. John of the Cross​Pope Benedict 16th quote about healing and redemption​Daily readings through USCCB​Shemah Prayer​Catechism of the Catholic Church 2779​Auxilium Christianorum (Help of Christians)​St. Padre Pio​Thérèse of LisieuxPrayer for the souls of Jennifer's classmates (DHS Class of 2000) who have passed away.Journaling Questions​What resonated with you most from this particular episode? ​What are some pop quizzes you feel God has sent your way?

Patrick and Jonah turn to Revelation 13 and the image of the beast from the sea—a being wounded unto death, yet healed. What kind of resurrection is that? Together they explore how domination, power, and self-preservation tempt the human self to “heal” without changing. In contrast, the Lamb bears a mortal wound that pours itself out for the life of the world.This episode asks: what does real transformation look like? How can a wound become the doorway to grace? And what does it mean to find protection, not in avoiding suffering, but in offering ourselves through it?Listen to the full conversation and find extended reflections at patreon.com/c/ccseminary.Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

Today's episode is part of our Christian parenting mini-series we are offering on “Motherhood Taboos” and we are tackling a big taboo of finding out you're pregnant ... and you weren't planning to be. Our guests are both priests who found themselves unexpectedly pregnant and want to narrate the grief and the joy, the surprise and the wonder, and the challenge and hope of a blessing that can leave you limping from a worldview that supports women's autonomy, choice, and freedom. MORE ABOUT OUR GUESTS:Rev. Mia Kano is an Episcopal priest in the Diocese of Massachusetts, where she serves as the part-time Rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Ayer. She lives in Acton, Massachusetts with her husband and two children. Rev. Mia's childhood was shaped by both Catholic and Congregationalist churches. She found her way to the Episcopal Church in her early twenties after exploring secular humanism and Islam. She was ordained as a priest in January 2020. Rev. Reagan Gonzalez was born in Odessa, Texas and raised in Bozeman, Montana. She grew up attending St. James Episcopal Church in Bozeman and later served as its Youth Director and Christian Formation Director before attending seminary. She is a graduate of Montana State University with a degree in Microbiology. After college, Reagan spent a year living in intentional community during a year of service with the Episcopal Service Corps. This experience deepened her faith and confirmed a desire to formally discern a call to ordained ministry. She earned an MDiv from the Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas and was ordained to the priesthood in 2018. Reagan has a passion for community life that is grounded in inclusivity. She loves to preach, teach, tell Godly Play stories to children, and introduce people to an open-minded Christianity where questions are welcomed, and where we trust that we learn best by struggling together to hear where the Holy Spirit is calling. Reagan is married to Bryan, they have two children, and one on the way. +++Like what you hear?

Send us a textLet's talk about it!  A quick 15-20 minute episode to jumpstart some thoughts to consider in your day.  Life is busy but we want to mindful of the reason God placed us on this earth.  One of those reasons is to share our faith in Jesus.  Today we want to talk about why this is hard and also identify some ways we can push back against the barriers that keep us from sharing.  Is there some commonality here between us (Derek and the audience -- you!)?  I hope so!  But let's spur one another on and pray for one another to be bold in preaching Christ.

As the flood from the dragon's mouth pours across the world, Patrick and Jonah explore how the Book of Revelation describes the protection of those who remain faithful: the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and a love stronger than self-preservation. Together they reflect on what these mean for our time—the torrent of egotism, the culture of self, and the call to keep the heart open even amid the onslaught. Drawing on the imagery of Michaelmas and the woman's eagle's wings, they ask how moral courage, humility, and sacrificial love can help the human being stay buoyant when the flood rises.Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

In this episode of Salty Believer Unscripted, we take a hard look at the pros and cons of social media in relation to discipleship. What's dangerous and why is it a problem? Is the algorithm serving the mission of Romans 12:1-2 or doing something else? How does doom scrolling serve God, if it does? Can it? Is there any redeeming value to social media? This is the topic of conversation in episode 2 of our series “Dangerous Discipleship.” Copyright 2025. Please visit SaltyBeliever.com for more information.
