Podcast appearances and mentions of Steve Wood

In today's episode, Steve Wood unpacks St. Paul's warning to the Colossians—how many ancient religions, and even some early Christians, were deceived into worshipping demonic powers. Discover how Paul's message reveals Christ's absolute supremacy over every “principality and power” and calls believers to reject spiritual compromise. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.

In Revelation 13, the “beast” is described as having a mouth full of blasphemies—echoing Daniel's prophecy of the proud and defiant king. Steve Wood explains how this final Antichrist fulfills what Antiochus foreshadowed, and why God allows such evil to reign for a limited time. During this dark period, the saints—true followers of Christ—will face intense persecution. Yet Scripture reveals that they conquer by being conquered, just as their Savior did. This episode explores the mystery of endurance, the meaning of “it was given” and “it was allowed,” and how the Church's final trial fulfills the Catechism's teaching on the Antichrist (CCC 675).

The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) is a small but mighty denomination. As I have written elsewhere, Anglicanism has the potential to breathe new life into the evangelical movement. But the denomination is facing challenges on many fronts, some of them self-inflicted. Archbishop Steve Wood, the senior leader of ACNA, has been credibly accused of sexual harassment and other offenses. Another bishop, Stewart Ruch, is currently facing a church trial for his handling of a sex offender in his diocese. Bishop Derek Jones, who has led the military chaplain corps, is now behind a rancorous attempt to leave ACNA and take more than 300 chaplains with him. All of the current controversies — those involving Archbishop Wood and Bishops Ruch and Jones — have also highlighted the inadequacy of the church's canons to deal with matters of conflict and discipline. Over the past few years, MinistryWatch has covered several scandals in the denomination, and the process has been tentative and clunky at almost every level. For example, ACNA first made formal charges against Bishop Stewart Ruch — known as a “presentment” — in December of 2022, three years ago. After many fits and starts (some of which you can read about here), the trial finally took place this week, and we still don't have a verdict. I have heard from credible sources that the cost of the trial will exceed a million dollars.  More than a year ago, just before ACNA's provincial meeting in Latrobe, Penn., I wrote what I think the denomination should do to graduate from organizational adolescence into adulthood. Those recommendations included: Make a final decision on women's ordination. Eliminate non-geographical dioceses, including Church for the Sake of Others. Revise and expand the canons of ACNA. Pick a leader with a strong arm and a velvet touch. Issue a clear statement on sexual issues. Perhaps the biggest fumble, though, was ACNA's selection of a new archbishop. Not only has he proven himself to be not up to the task, he has become a part of the problem. Even if he is found “not guilty” of the presentment against him, the process itself has already been damaging to him and the church. That is why I would add one more recommendation to the list above: Steve Wood should resign as archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America. There is no way forward for him that doesn't do further damage to the church. If he is exonerated of the charges in the presentment, many in ACNA who already distrust his leadership and the inadequacy of the canons will cite that exoneration as proof of a rigged system. If he is found guilty, he is unfit to serve. I continue to believe that ACNA has great promise. The 15 years of its existence — especially when considered in the long arc of church history — is but a moment. Anglicanism offers much to the world, and to evangelicalism in particular. But it must face this moment with decisiveness and integrity. ACNA faces an existential crisis that grows more acute by the day, and before Anglicanism can save evangelicalism, it must first save itself. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.

In this episode of the Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood explores one of the most awe-inspiring truths of the Christian faith: Jesus Christ not only created all things—He continues to sustain and hold the universe together by His divine power. Drawing from Colossians 1:17, Hebrews 1:3, and Nehemiah 9:6, Steve shows that Christ's sustaining word keeps every atom, star, and living thing in existence. Through Scripture, Church Fathers, and even modern atomic science, we see that the same power that spoke creation into being now preserves it moment by moment. What would happen if Christ's sustaining power ceased, even for an instant? And how should this truth shape the way we live in holiness, hope, and awe of our Savior's continual presence in creation? Don't miss today's powerful episode. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.  

In this powerful episode of Luke21, Steve Wood unpacks one of the most sobering and misunderstood passages in the Book of Revelation — the rise of the Beast. Drawing from Revelation 12 and 13, Steve explores how the ancient conflict of Genesis 3:15 unfolds through history, reaching its climax in the appearance of the Antichrist — a deceptive “pseudo-Christ” who presents himself as the world's Great Monarch. Discover why this world leader will seem like a dream come true — bringing promises of peace, prosperity, and unity — yet will ultimately embody the greatest deception in human history. Steve connects these prophecies to Daniel's visions, early Church Fathers, and modern Church teaching, including insights from Pope Benedict XVI and Cardinal Karol Wojtyła (St. John Paul II).

On today's program, Federal officials have declined to file charges against Olivet University. The Christian school in California has faced accusations of human labor trafficking and visa fraud—accusations the school denies. We'll have details. Plus, both news and scandal from the Anglican church. After the Church of England appointed Sarah Mullaly as its next bishop of Canterbury, another network of Anglican leaders have announced they are cutting ties with Canterbury and laying claim to the Anglican Communion. Just days later the archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America, Steve Wood, faces accusations of misconduct. And, church experts have predicted that 100 thousand churches might close in coming years—we get an update on that number, and ask what it means for churches moving forward. But first, a Christian campus group wins in court after a Texas law tried to ban ‘expressive activities' at night.

In this episode of Faith & Family, Steve Wood explores the profound teaching of Colossians 1:15–20, highlighting the preeminence of Christ — the only time this term appears in the New Testament. Jesus holds first place over all creation and over all aspects of redemption, leaving no room for “add-ons” or supplemental wisdom. Steve breaks down this passage into two parts: Preeminence in Creation (1:15–17) – Christ as the active Creator in whom all things were made and hold together. Preeminence in Redemption (1:18–20) – Christ as head of the Church, reconciler of all things, and the fullness of God dwelling in Him. Listeners will learn: How Paul refutes false teachers by emphasizing Christ's fullness and supremacy The connection between creation (Genesis 1:1, Hebrews 11:3, John 1:1–3, Nehemiah 9:6) and Christ's role as Redeemer Why understanding Christ's supremacy is essential for forming a strong faith and countering secular teachings like theistic evolution Practical insights for helping youth grow in faith and remain rooted in Christ This episode challenges believers to see Christ as supreme in all things, both visible and invisible, and to ground their faith in Him alone.

In this episode of Luke21, Steve Wood continues his deep dive into Revelation 12, exploring the second great sign in heaven: the red dragon poised against the woman who gave birth to the male child. Steve explains how Revelation 12 not only reveals the cosmic battle between good and evil but also connects to Genesis 3:15, the seed prophecy that spans the entire Bible. The woman symbolizes both Mary and all true Christians, while the dragon represents Satan and his intensifying attacks against God's people.

In this episode, Steve Wood continues his study of St. Paul's Letter to the Colossians by asking an important question: Why did St. Paul write Colossians?

In this episode of Luke21, Steve Wood explores the fascinating link between Scripture and science through Colin R. Nicholl's groundbreaking book The Great Christ Comet: Revealing the True Star of Bethlehem.

Steve Wood explores how believers are called to live out their faith in every area of life—not just inside the Church. Drawing from Colossians 1:13 and insights from St. John Paul II, this episode challenges parents and catechists to bridge the gap between faith and culture and equip the next generation to live boldly in Christ's Kingdom. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.  

Steve Wood unpacks the meaning of the seventh trumpet in Revelation, where the heavenly voices proclaim, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.” What does this moment reveal about the already and not yet nature of God's Kingdom? Discover how apocalyptic literature, from Daniel to Revelation, gives us cyclical visions of the same final reality—Christ's victory, the judgment of evil, and the resurrection of the dead. This episode explores why Revelation 11 marks the end of this age, how the trumpets connect to Paul's writings, and how God's temple imagery points to His presence with His people forever. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.  

What does it mean to live in the kingdom of God now, not just in the future? Steve Wood unpacks Colossians 1:11–13, showing how Christ has already delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into His kingdom. Learn why young Christians can't face today's culture without this truth, why there's no such thing as a “neutral” public square, and how God's kingdom power strengthens believers for endurance, joy, and faithful living in the present age.

Revelation 11 is one of the most challenging chapters in the Bible. Are the “two witnesses” two historic individuals—or do they symbolize the entire Church called to bear witness through prophecy and even martyrdom? In this episode, Steve Wood explores both interpretations, the sobering implications for the Church's future, and why Revelation 11 points to a final trial of faith before Christ's return. Steve also unpacks the dramatic scene of the great earthquake—where judgment and the blood of the martyrs result in something truly unexpected: repentance and glory given to God, the only such instance in Revelation. Drawing connections to Old Testament prophetic numbers, Church teaching, and the writings of St. Augustine, this study highlights how God can bring about conversion even in the darkest hour of persecution. If you're seeking clarity on Revelation and the hope embedded in its warnings, this is an episode you won't want to miss. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com. 

Modern Christians often miss the central message of the Bible: the reign of God through His Son. In this episode, Steve Wood explores how the theme of the King and His Kingdom is essential for understanding Colossians, Revelation, and the Gospels. Drawing on Colossians 1, Isaiah 52, and insights from leading scholars, we see how the Gospel is not just good news in general, but the royal proclamation that “Your God reigns.” This background sets the stage for grasping Paul's vision of Christ's kingdom and the sovereignty of God throughout Scripture.

Welcome, Friends of Charlie Kirk—and a New Generation Seeking God In this special episode of the Faith & Family Bible Podcast, Steve Wood reflects on the cultural and spiritual shockwaves following the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk. What some saw as an attempt to sever a generation from God has instead ignited a movement—a modern “Great Awakening” among young people who are hungry for truth, returning to church, and opening the Bible in record numbers. Rather than focusing solely on the political ramifications, Steve emphasizes the deeper cultural and spiritual awakening that is unfolding, as young people begin to recognize the significance of Kirk's sacrifice in their relationship with God. He discusses the notion that this event may serve as a catalyst, igniting a flood of faith and a return to spiritual roots amidst a world increasingly seeking to sever ties with the divine.

Trucking defense attorneys Shane O'Dell and Larry Hall join hosts Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. and Steve Wood, Ph.D. to talk through several topics in trucking and transportation litigation. They begin by discussing the devastating illegal U-turn trucking accident in Florida resulting in multiple fatalities and the political fallout due to immigration issues with the driver. The group talk about how to address this horrible accident in jury selection and how to solicit honest perspectives from jurors about the trucking industry in order to identify biased jurors. Next the group discuss the need for the defense to be less reactive and to become more proactive and how to help clients see the value in starting early. Shane and Larry talk about the benefits of conducting early jury research, even pre-suit, and how finding hidden and unexpected vulnerabilities early is incredibly valuable in figuring out how to handle the claim or case. They also share how jury research is highly useful in protecting the defense team from confirmation biases that may be clouding their perspective on the case. Lastly, the group discuss the complexities in litigation when there are multiple defendants, how the attorneys manage co-defendants, and the best ways to conduct jury research when you have co-defendants.

What does it take to build a faith that thrives in today's pagan culture? St. Paul's letter to the Colossians holds the key: a deep knowledge of God found in Scripture and centered on Christ.

Parents and catechists will discover how to pass on a faith that doesn't burn out, but grows stronger through grace and the knowledge of Christ—“in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.  

The Third Temple Revelation 11 raises the question of the Third Temple: is it a literal rebuilding in Jerusalem or the Scriptural reality of Christ and His Church?

Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. and Steve Wood, Ph.D. discuss the most common mistakes attorneys make during litigation touching on jury research, voir dire, direct examination, openings, and closings. Bill and Steve stress that in jury research, confirmation bias is a major pitfall and attorneys often dismiss unfavorable results instead of using them to prepare for trial. They also highlight how waiting too long to conduct research is another mistake, as early testing reveals vulnerabilities before they become entrenched. In voir dire, many attorneys aren't vulnerable with jurors and also don't go deep enough with their questioning. Bill and Steve argue that opening up personally with jurors and going deeper on their responses helps identify problematic jurors and builds credibility. On direct examination, they caution against long, unfocused testimony, irrelevant background questions, and overly broad prompts that cause witnesses to ramble. Openings should avoid lengthy introductions and dense slide decks, instead focusing on clear, simple storytelling that doesn't overload jurors cognitively. Lastly, in closing arguments, they remind defense counsel that the goal is not to change minds but to equip favorable jurors with tools for deliberations.

In this episode of Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood explores the Epistle to the Colossians—written by St. Paul around 60 AD while imprisoned in Rome. Though addressed to the early Church, Colossians speaks powerfully to Catholics today on spiritual warfare, false “Jesus+” teachings, overcoming sin, and building a strong Christian worldview. Learn why Colossians contains one of the clearest portraits of who Jesus is in all of Scripture, and how Paul's teaching continues to guide Catholics facing modern challenges.

In this episode of Luke21, Steve Wood unpacks Revelation 10, the interlude between the sixth and seventh trumpets. As a mighty angel descends with one foot on the sea and the other on land, Scripture reminds us that God's sovereignty extends over all creation—even during tribulation and the rise of the Antichrist. Steve also explores the command for St. John to “eat the scroll” before prophesying, showing why true prophecy requires internalizing God's word. Drawing from Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Pope Benedict XVI, he warns against shallow substitutes for authentic preaching and emphasizes the urgent need for prophetic voices today—in families, parishes, and youth groups.

In this new series on Colossians, Steve Wood addresses the hotly debated question of authorship. Did St. Paul actually write Colossians, or is it the work of later disciples? Drawing from Scripture, Church teaching, and modern scholarship, Steve explains why questioning authorship undermines biblical authority—especially in a letter with one of the highest Christologies in the New Testament.

When the Lamb opens the seventh seal in Revelation 8, heaven falls silent before seven trumpet judgments shake the natural world. Are these visions mere metaphors—or literal, world-changing events?

He describes the mediation process, the plaintiff's settlement demands, and why the case proceeded to trial. Next, Steve and Jeremiah discuss jury selection strategy, including how Jeremiah identified potential pro-defense and pro-plaintiff jurors, developed voir dire questions, and approached strikes. He and Steve walk through key themes from opening statements, how the defense framed the case, and how the plaintiff attempted to appeal to jurors emotionally. Jeremiah details his approach to cross-examination, particularly how he addressed damaging testimony and undermined the plaintiff's key witnesses. He explains the role of expert testimony in supporting the defense narrative and how his team handled unexpected developments during trial. Lastly, Jeremiah shares how the jury reacted, the factors that he believes led to the defense win, and his client's reaction to the verdict.

What does the Bible really say about eternal life? In Part II of this series (See Episode 541 for Part I), Steve Wood unpacks what happens after the Second Coming—not just souls in heaven, but resurrected bodies on a renewed Earth with Jesus. We explore the often-missed Catholic teaching on divinization—our transformation by God's grace to share in His divine nature. Backed by Scripture (1 John 3:2, 2 Peter 1:4) and the Catechism (CCC 460), this episode also draws from Church Fathers like St. Irenaeus, St. Athanasius, and St. Thomas Aquinas.

What do the Four Horsemen in Revelation 6 really represent? In this episode, Steve Wood walks through Revelation 6:1–8, unpacking the meaning behind the white, red, black, and pale horses—through the lens of both Old and New Testament prophecy. Is the white horse the Antichrist or Christ? Are the red and black horses symbols of historic and future war and famine? And what does the pale horse reveal about the plagues and death to come? Drawing from Ezekiel, Zechariah, Leviticus, and Church teaching (including insights from Pope Pius XII), Steve explores how these judgments may point to past, present, and future realities—especially as world events begin to mirror prophetic signs.

In this episode of Luke21, Steve Wood begins a deep dive into Revelation chapters 6–16, where St. John reveals four interconnected series of God's judgments: the 7 Seals, 7 Trumpets, 7 Thunders, and 7 Bowls. While many are familiar with the seals, trumpets, and bowls, the 7 Thunders—briefly mentioned and sealed in Revelation 10—are often overlooked. Steve explains how these four sevenfold judgments unfold as a progressive sequence, increasing in intensity and rooted in Old Testament context, especially Leviticus 26. Drawing powerful connections between Israel's Holiness Code and modern-day moral decline, Steve warns that the sins judged in ancient times—such as sexual immorality, child sacrifice, occult practices, and blasphemy—are now embedded in contemporary culture and law. Are we, like ancient Jerusalem, inviting divine judgment?  Dive into this prophetic section of Revelation and explore what it means for believers today.

Discover why spiritual growth begins with a deep, unshakable belief that your sins are forgiven—not because of your goodness, but because of Christ's sacrifice.

In this episode, Steve Wood unpacks the powerful truth of 1 John 3:2 and tackles common misconceptions, including the widespread but unbiblical belief that the soul alone goes to heaven. Instead, Scripture teaches the resurrection of the body and a future of embodied life on a renewed earth with Jesus. Steve draws from Acts, Philippians, John's Gospel, and Revelation to explain what Christians can truly expect after the Second Coming—and what that means for both believers and unbelievers. He also offers a thoughtful reflection on cremation, the Catechism, and how our burial choices can witness to the hope of resurrection.
