This blogcast explores “Pressing in While in the Desert: Getting Over the Mid-Lent Slump" written by Danielle Schmitz and read by Meghan Abando.In this blog post, Danielle shares some advice to rekindle our Lenten fervor as the long penitential season continues. When we find ourselves in “the mid-Lent slump,” we need to remind ourselves of why we committed to Lent in the first place. When we are able to remember this “why,” we are given new strength to continue into the desert, to press in with Jesus into the discomfort, leaning on Him for strength, because we realize we aren't alone in the desert. All of this, however, can be very difficult without practical steps to return to Jesus in the desert. Here are some that I have found to be most helpful when Lent becomes difficult. Consciously make the action in prayer to repent for falling away from your Lenten commitments and “reset them” with Jesus. Explicitly write out your Lenten commitments again. This step of “resetting” gives you a clean slate moving forward in Lent, so you feel less tempted to fall back into whatever your previous situation had been.Find your “why” in Lent. What is the reason that you chose each of your Lenten commitments? What do you hope to gain with them or in what way do you hope to grow with them? When you become tempted to fall away from your commitments, these “whys” will give you a reason to keep going.Build your Lenten commitments into your daily schedule. While the commitments may start out as obligatory this way, as you gain consistency in your practice of them, you will find joy in doing so and will desire to complete them each day.Have an accountability partner. Find someone you trust who can walk with you throughout Lent, checking in to make sure you are staying faithful to your commitments. But more importantly, this person can be someone who you can turn to when things get difficult for support and encouragement. Most importantly, as you press into Lent in the midst of the “slump,” remember the Lord's unending mercy and love for you. As it says in Joel 2, God desires for us to return to Him with contrite hearts so that He can pour out His mercy and grace onto us. When you find yourself struggling in Lent, turn back to Him in all His kindness, and ask Him to walk with you and give you the strength you need to continue following Him into the desert. Author:Danielle Schmitz is a Communications Associate for the Catholic Apostolate Center, where she assists in the updating and creation of social media content for new and ongoing projects at the Center. Danielle is a student at the Catholic University of America studying Marketing and Theology.

ShownotesWhen we think about miscarriage, it is a lot like grief in that it is a tender topic that makes people uncomfortable to talk about. We also tend to think of it only in terms of how it affects the mother. But what about men who experience the loss of a child from miscarriage or stillbirth? How is the grief different and how can men help other men who have had similar experiences? And how can the saints help?Our GuestPatrick O'Hearn is a devout Catholic, husband, and father.

Tim Tolka - Blue MafiaApr 23, 2024Blue Mafia tells the backstory behind two federal investigations of police brutality in Steubenville and Warren, Ohio, from the perspective of the victims, cops, attorneys, and officials who participated. The story is essentially the biography of a small-town civil rights lawyer, but it is also a hard-boiled detective novel set in an era of rank corruption, smear campaigns, false imprisonments, death threats, and assassination attempts, no longer carried out by the mob, but instead by and for the police.The book explores the controversial police brutality lawsuits leading up to the historic police reform agreements and their outcomes, using the career of a local civil rights lawyer who fought a 20-year battle against two brutal, corrupt police departments and acted as an informant to federal investigators. It is like an instruction manual for aspiring activists and civil rights defenders who want to oust a despotic police chief or prosecutor, as well as an idiot's guide for law enforcement and public officials on the pitfalls of power.In Steubenville, when attorney Richard Olivito defends a drug dealer claiming police misconduct, he begins to feel hunted. Later, he acts as an informant and collaborator to Justice Department officials investigating the Steubenville police, which results in a consent decree, or court-enforced reform agreement, the 2nd in U.S. history. A few years later, Olivito incites another federal Investigation in neighboring Warren, where residents have complained of police brutality for decades. This time is different because there is a video.Blue Mafia shows that some small towns have at least equally severe problems with police brutality and misconduct as many big cities, and it chronicles federal reform efforts on local police agencies during five U.S. presidential administrations, providing the most detailed account to date of police reform by consent decree and revealing the messy, sometimes tragic yet always human aspects of policing.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

A Chicago woman, looking for antiques, walked into a Dresden Ave. furniture store late in July 1973, and came upon two badly beaten bodies and a severely injured child.She had stumbled upon one of the city's worst murder cases -- a horrendous crime which remains unsolved today.Dead were Earl A. Tweed, 75, store owner, and Mrs.Arthur (Linda) Morris, 22, who was four months pregnant.Her daughter, Angela Lynn, 4, was battered and unconscious, dying shortly afterward.Tweed of 3rd St. had operated the National Furniture and Upholstery Repair Co. since 1912 when he came to the city from Steubenville. Police surmised Mrs. Morris went into the shop and came upon a robbery in progress.Mrs. Frances Dugan of Chicago, a nurse, walked into the store just before 1 p.m. July 30 -- a Monday -- planning to inquire about antiques. Discovering the bloody scene, she ran outside and shouted to someone across the street, "Call the police! Something terrible has happened!"A telephone call was received at police headquarters within minutes. Since Tweed was lying several feet away from the woman and her daughter, he was not seen immediately by first arrivals, so the phone call reported only two victims.https://grizzlyllc.myshopify.comhttps://paranormalhub.com/grizzly-huntGovshades.com has the largest selection an variety of brand name sunglasses at up to 50% off retail prices.https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2577121&u=3878666&m=155985&urllink=&afftrack=Rocky Mountain Roastery Coffee!

Steubenville became a model of reading success. Then a new law in Ohio put it all at risk. In this episode, we look at the "science of reading" lists some states are making, why the program Steubenville has been using for 25 years isn't getting on many of these lists, and the surprising power of one curriculum review group.Read: Christopher Peak on EdReportsRead: Transcript of this episodeCall us: (612) 888-7323Email us: soldastory@apmreports.orgDonate: Support our journalism More: soldastory.orgDive deeper into Sold a Story with a multi-part email series from host Emily Hanford.

There's a name for the program at the heart of Steubenville's remarkable reading results. It's called Success for All. It's been around for decades, and numerous studies have shown it's effective. But relatively few school districts use it. We trace the history of the program and why it's never really caught on. Read: Transcript of this episodeVideo: The Story Behind Sold a StoryDonate: Support our journalismMore: soldastory.orgEmail us: soldastory@apmreports.org Dive deeper into Sold a Story with a multi-part email series from host Emily Hanford.

  We're taking a short break this week from our series on sola Scriptura to invite you to a special event, exclusively for Protestant pastors who have become -- or are thinking seriously about becoming -- Catholics. There are certain things that only clergy converts to Catholicism can truly relate to -- such as planning your last sermon before resigning from ministry. In this episode, Ken and Kenny share how that last sermon played out for each of them, as well as who they were most afraid to tell about their decision to become Catholic, and which pastor convert was most helpful to them personally as they entered the Church. The uniqueness of this shared experience among clergy converts highlights why we are so excited to be able to partner with the St. Paul Center for a special conference designed exclusively for converts to the Catholic Faith whose background in Protestant ministry, academia, or the mission field had to be left behind when they became Catholic. The event will take place May 30-June 1 at the St. Paul Center in Steubenville, OH, near the campus of Franciscan University. We're keeping the event small so everyone can have a chance to talk to everyone else and share experiences, but many of the names of those involved are ones you already know: Dr. Scott Hahn, Dr. John Bergsma, Msgr. Jeffrey Steenson, and of course, Ken Hensley and Kenny Burchard, all of whom served as Protestant pastors of some kind before becoming Catholic. If you're a Catholic convert from a professional ministry background, we'd love to see you there! Please reach out to us if you're interested. More information: chnetwork.org/clergyconference We'll be back next week with another episode in our ongoing series on sola Scriptura!

Is the Marxism infiltrating the Church? Our daily lives? Bobby Angel, a Catholic author, speaker, and co-host of The Jackie and Bobby Show, warn about the possible infiltration into modern ideologies, particularly in gender theory and radical feminism, and highlights the importance of faith, sacred art, and traditional values in countering these influences. He shares his journey of faith, from being a cradle Catholic who drifted in his teenage years to experiencing a powerful reawakening through Eucharistic adoration and a Steubenville youth conference.Bobby discusses his background in philosophy and theology, highlighting how his time in seminary and teaching at an all-boys Catholic high school shaped his understanding of the faith. His new book, The Postmodern Predicament, explores the cultural decline caused by postmodernism and Marxist influences, offering a Catholic perspective on reclaiming truth and order in society. The conversation covers topics like the dangers of moral relativism, the loss of classical education, and the impact of pornography and utilitarianism on human dignity. Bobby emphasizes that philosophy is crucial in shaping one's worldview, influencing how society perceives truth, beauty, and human worth.U.S. residents!

President Trump's support of IVF as an effective means to increase fertility belies the complicated nature of this treatment and the ethical, moral, and philosophical implications of it. For instance, one of the pressing issues for children of IVF will be how their manner of conception impacts their psychological state. For another, they might wonder what happened to the other embryos which were discarded and worry about their place in their family or even with their parents.   This conversation explores the psychological and societal implications of IVF and cloning, emphasizing the potential moral catastrophes that may arise from these practices. The discussion highlights the importance of family as a foundational element of society, the consequences of broken families, and the need for healing and love in addressing these issues. The speakers advocate for a return to valuing human life as a gift rather than a product, and they discuss the cultural attitudes towards IVF and the efforts to regulate it.   Dr. Colosi is an associate professor of philosophy at Salve Regina University in Newport, RI.

In this episode, we talk about Pope Francis' Bull of Indiction on the Jubilee Year of Hope! A Jubilee year occurs once every 25 years and it is a year set apart and consecrated just for our Lord. We chat about what it looks like to be pilgrims of hope, especially in the places where we have deep sorrows or unfulfilled desires. We reflect on how we can bring these tender places to our Lord and let them be illuminated, so He can redeem and restore the light of hope in our lives. Keeping our hearts open to hope can be painful and crucifying. But when we enter into this pilgrimage, we are transformed in the light of hope.   Heather's One Thing - The Podcast Burning Hearts with Rachel Herbeck  Sister Miriam's One Thing - Heather's Acoustic Worship Spotify Playlist Michelle's One Thing - Jubilee by Maverick City Music   Other Resources Mentioned:  In Defense of Hope a talk by Jackie Hill Perry   Announcement: Join us for our Lenten Study beginning March 5th, 2025 as we journey through “Jesus and the Jubilee: The Biblical Roots of the Year of God's Favor“ by Dr. John Bergsma. We look forward to sitting at the feet of a leading scholar as we unpack what the Lord has in store for us in the year of Jubilee.

What idols do I place my hope in? How can I look at this year through the lens of hope? Think about an area of hopelessness in your life. What do you believe about the situation? What do you believe about yourself in this situation? What do you believe about the Lord in this area?   Discussion Questions: Where in your life is it scary to have hope? When have you experienced the buoyancy and freedom of hope? How is Christ inviting you to hope this year?

The tireless efforts of Pope Saint John Paul II gave us the timeless Theology of the Body – and that has provided sound philosophical grounding from which to handle the ever shifting sands of moral turpitude of our modern era. Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse and Dr. Deborah Savage discuss the Catholic Church's teachings on marriage, family, and human sexuality, particularly in the context of the challenges posed by the sexual revolution. They explore the importance of lived experience in understanding these teachings, the implications of recent changes within the Pontifical Academy for Life, and the philosophical foundations laid by John Paul II. The discussion emphasizes the need for a balance between lived experience and objective truth, the role of self-governance, and the significance of virtue in achieving true freedom.   00:00 - The Catholic Church's Stance on Contraception 02:55 - The Role of Lived Experience in Theology 05:49 - Response to the Pontifical Academy for Life's Document 09:05 - The Impact of the Sexual Revolution 11:58 - Bridging Theory and Experience 14:52 - Understanding Human Acts and Impulses 18:12 - John Paul II's Anthropology and Personalism 20:51 - The Importance of Self-Governance 24:03 - The Personalist Norm vs. Kant's Categorical Imperative 26:55 - The Path to Virtue and True Freedom 30:08 - Real Stories from the Frontlines   Dr. Deborah Savage joined the Theology faculty during the 2021-22 academic year, having taught both philosophy and theology at the St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota for the previous thirteen years.
