A vital episode for Catholics preparing for marriage—and for those helping couples build marriages rooted in divine love. In this episode of Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood explores Jesus' clear teaching on divorce and lifelong marriage in the Sermon on the Mount and Matthew 19. Why did Moses permit divorce, and why does Jesus now call His followers to lifelong fidelity?

Confused by how Jesus can call persecution a blessing? In this short, thought-provoking episode, Steve Wood explores “Blessed are the persecuted” from the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:10–12) and explains how joy, rejoicing, and gladness can coexist with suffering for Christ. Drawing from Scripture, Church teaching, and a powerful personal experience, Steve shows why persecution is not an exception to the Christian life—but often part of it—and how the future joy of heaven breaks into the present through the risen Christ living in us.

What does it mean to be poor in spirit—and why is it the pivot of human life and history? In this episode of Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood explains how the Beatitudes describe the inner life of Christ formed in the believer, not a checklist of steps.

In this episode of Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood offers a crucial caution about teaching the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount. Using the familiar “ladder to heaven” metaphor, he explains why framing salvation as moral ladder-climbing leads to fear, burnout, and failure—especially for modern Catholics. Drawing on Scripture, the Catechism, and Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, this episode clarifies the primacy of grace, showing that the Sermon on the Mount is not about self-salvation but about Christ living His life in us through a living union with Him. Visit us at www.BibleforCatholics.com for more resources. 

In Part II of this youth discipleship series, Steve Wood explains why parish-based large-group programs alone cannot form lifelong Christian disciples. Drawing on Scripture, real-world experience, and the teaching of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI, this episode lays out a clear, four-part framework for authentic youth discipleship—beginning with parents as the primary disciplers. Learn why family catechesis is irreplaceable, how camps and small groups can support real spiritual growth, and what's fueling today's widespread youth disengagement from the faith.

Revelation 19:11–16 gives one of the clearest and most powerful pictures of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ—Faithful and True, King of kings and Lord of lords. In this episode, Steve Wood explains how the Second Coming, the Parousia, the resurrection of the dead, and the Day of the Lord all describe the same biblical event, and why Scripture does not teach multiple future “comings” of Christ.

Drawing from Scripture, the Catechism, and lived experience, this talk explains why classroom-only religious education often leads to dropout Catholicism, while intentional family-based disciple-making forms lifelong faith. You'll hear why parents—especially fathers—are the primary youth discipleship leaders, why 60 minutes a week can't form a disciple, and how the contrast between a “family motel” and a true disciple-making Catholic home shapes the faith of future generations. Featuring wisdom from Scripture and the powerful witness of St. John Paul II, this episode challenges Catholic families to recover a way of life that passes on faith in a hostile culture.

In this episode of Luke21, Steve Wood walks through Revelation 19, the most exalted scene of worship in the New Testament. After the total destruction of Babylon in Revelation 18, heaven erupts with the Great Hallelujah—“Praise Yahweh”—celebrating God's true and just judgment and the coming Marriage Supper of the Lamb. This teaching explores why “Hallelujah” appears only four times in the New Testament, the meaning of the key transition phrase “after this” (meta tauta), and how Revelation 19 fits into the larger prophetic flow of the book. Steve also addresses common Rapture and dispensationalist interpretations, explaining why Revelation does not teach separate plans for Israel and the Church, but reveals one people of God in Christ.

Beginning with Jesus' call to the first disciples in Matthew 4:17–22 and ending with the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18–20, this study shows how the Gospel of Matthew is framed by one clear command: make disciples. Steve explains why Jesus prioritized close, relational training over formal education, why the first disciples were likely much younger than we often assume, and what this means for parents, families, and youth formation today. This episode lays the biblical foundation for building authentic, long-term discipleship that truly transforms lives. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.

In this episode of Luke21, Steve Wood examines Revelation 17–18 to explain how the influence of “Babylon the Great” is not only a first-century reality but an ongoing spiritual force shaping the modern world—especially Christian youth. Drawing on biblical prophecy, Romans 1, and contemporary Catholic education, Steve explores how idolatry of a false creator, particularly through the widespread acceptance of Darwinian and theistic evolution, has led to moral confusion and the breakdown of sexual ethics. This episode connects Revelation's prophetic imagery with real-world consequences facing the Church today and calls Catholics to renewed clarity about God as Creator. Visit www.bibleforcatholics.com for updated study guides, intelligent design resources, and accompanying handouts to deepen your understanding of this episode.

Revelation 17 and 18 reveal the vision of Babylon the Great, the Great Harlot who seduces the nations through wealth, luxury, and idolatry. In this episode, Steve Wood explains how the “wine of fornication” represents idolatry—placing anything above God—and how wealthy empires throughout history have drawn nations into moral and spiritual corruption. This study connects the biblical harlot imagery to past empires such as Jerusalem and Rome, while showing how Revelation describes an ongoing global influence that continues in the modern world.

In this episode of Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood walks through Gospel of Matthew chapter 4 and shows how Jesus models the way Christians are called to face serious temptation. Examining the three temptations of Christ in the wilderness, Steve explains how Jesus resists the devil not with arguments or miracles, but with Scripture properly understood and internalized. From resisting the misuse of sonship, to refusing to test God, to rejecting Satan's offer of worldly power, Jesus reveals the pattern every disciple must follow. Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments—including the Psalms, Deuteronomy, and Revelation—this episode highlights why Scripture memorization is essential spiritual armor, especially in a world growing darker and more deceptive. Visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com for more resources.

In this episode of Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood challenges parents and teachers to examine how Christian children are being formed. Drawing from Gospel of Matthew 3, he contrasts outward religiosity without repentance—exemplified by the Pharisees—with authentic, Spirit-filled faith. Steve explains why much modern catechesis emphasizes religious facts and behavior while failing to touch the heart, contributing to the widespread falling away of youth. The key to true spiritual formation, he argues, is a lived experience of adoption as sons and daughters of God through baptism, as taught in Epistle to the Galatians. The episode calls parents to pray for a full awakening of their children's baptismal inheritance and to surround them with believers alive in the Holy Spirit.

In this episode of Luke21, Steve Wood examines Revelation 17–18 and the meaning of Babylon the Great.

Drawing from the Old Testament and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 677–682), Steve reveals how Scripture interprets Scripture and why Babylon represents a recurring, idolatrous world system influencing nations, cultures, and economies.

A powerful encouragement for anyone who feels far from God or longs for a fresh start in their faith. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.

In this episode of Luke21, Steve Wood explores Revelation 17 and the mysterious figure of Babylon the Great Harlot. Who is the woman riding the scarlet beast, and what is the “great city” that dominates the kings of the earth?

Drawing on Scripture, biblical history, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 675–677), this episode highlights the prophetic tension between past fulfillment and end-times reality. A clear and compelling Catholic guide to understanding Babylon, Revelation, and the Church's final trial. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.

Mike shares the benefits he and his firm realize from conducting early jury research and how these early focus groups guide discovery and influence mediation.

Lastly, they discuss the use of AI in legal and the criticality of briefer and tighter opening statements in today's world of short attention spans.

In this episode of Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood highlights the most important word in the Gospel of Matthew: Jesus. Drawing from Matthew 1:21, Steve explains that the name Jesus—meaning “YHWH saves”—summarizes the heart of the Gospel and the New Covenant. This episode emphasizes two essential truths: forgiveness of sins is central, and Jesus does the saving—we do not save ourselves. Steve warns against reducing Christianity to moral effort or self-salvation and shows how forgetting the primacy of grace can lead to spiritual burnout, especially for families and children. Referencing the Catechism of the Catholic Church, he underscores that authentic Christian living flows from Christ working in us. A powerful reminder to keep Christ—not performance—at the center of faith, catechesis, and daily life. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.  

In this episode of Luke21, Steve Wood examines Revelation 16:12–16 and the true biblical meaning of Har Magedon. Steve explains why Armageddon is not simply a battle at Megiddo, but a twofold, end-times conflict—both earthly and spiritual—centered on the fight for world kingship. Drawing from the Old Testament, including 2 Kings 6, Isaiah 14, Psalms, and Zechariah 12–14, this episode reveals Armageddon as the “Mountain of Assembly,” the throne-place of God the Great King.

This teaching connects Revelation 16, 19, and 20 with Ezekiel 38–39, showing they describe one climactic battle at the end of the age, coinciding with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Steve Wood also explains how demonic deception stirs nations toward war and why Armageddon is ultimately a battle for the Kingship of Christ.

In this episode, Steve Wood opens the Gospel of Matthew by unpacking the genealogy of Jesus Christ, revealing it as the key to understanding Matthew's entire message. Matthew deliberately anchors Jesus in history as the Son of Abraham and the Son of David, proclaiming Him as the promised King of the world, not merely a spiritual figure. We explore how Matthew's genealogy highlights Jesus' royal lineage, fulfills God's covenant with David (2 Samuel 7), and frames the gospel as a royal announcement—the true euangelion—that God's everlasting King has come. From Matthew 1 to Matthew 28, the theme is clear: all authority in heaven and on earth belongs to Jesus Christ, and the nations are called to bow before Him. This episode accompanies Episode 505 of Luke21. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.

In this episode, Steve Wood explores Revelation 15 and the stunning hope revealed at the darkest moment of history.

Connecting Revelation Chapters 13–15 with Matthew 24, this study shows how tribulation, endurance, and worldwide evangelism unfold together under the reign of Jesus Christ - the King of the World. This episode accompanies episodes 570 and 571 of Faith & Family Bible Study with Steve Wood. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.    

Today launches a new series on the Gospel of Matthew, challenging the modern claim that Mark was the first gospel written.

This episode calls listeners to approach Scripture faithfully, critically, and rooted in historic Christian tradition. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com

AW Cardinal and Jasmine Colette continue to create very new and very different music. The last album was recorded over several days in New Orleans. The new album,  Get Your Feathers Ready, was a meeting of Coast Salish and Treaty 6 in Maskwacis, Alberta. One day of rehearsal with AW, Jas, and the Northern Cree Drummers and Singers.

Steve Wood, the much-admired leader and drum keeper of Northern Cree and his son Joel complete the music circle.

In this episode of Luke 21, Steve Wood examines the first of the three end-times messages in Revelation 14:6–7 and explains why it is a critical safeguard against giving allegiance to the Antichrist described in Revelation 13. The central defense, Steve argues, is a clear and unshakable belief in God as Creator. Drawing from Revelation 14, Matthew 24, and the powerful witness of the martyrs in 2 Maccabees 7, Steve shows how faith in the Creator sustained God's people under extreme persecution and why this same truth is essential for Christians facing end-times deception.  This episode challenges parents, educators, and church leaders to teach and explain God as Creator, using both Scripture and modern scientific evidence.  For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.

Dedicated to his newborn granddaughter, Sophie—whose name means “wisdom”—this episode challenges families to ask a crucial question: Where do we seek wisdom? Steve contrasts today's information-driven culture and human philosophy with the biblical teaching that wisdom is not gained through facts or worldly learning alone, but through a deep, Christ-centered faith. Drawing from St. Paul's letters to the Corinthians and Colossians, he encourages listeners to keep a laser-focus on Christ and to immerse themselves in Sacred Scripture. This episode offers practical encouragement for parents, grandparents, and believers who desire spiritual wisdom that leads to a life pleasing to God and rooted in the truth of Jesus Christ.

They talk about why the work attorneys do to prep witnesses are often inadequate and why its not the attorney's fault. Bill and Steve also provide updates on recent changes in how CSI conducts jury research and how focus group research has transformed case development and strategy for attorneys. They describe the importance of validity and reliability in jury research and how conducting exploratory research like focus groups vs. confirmatory research like mock trials can significantly improve litigation management decisions. Lastly, they discuss alternatives to traditional jury selection and why a focus on voir dire questioning strategy (i.e. disruptive voir dire) and opening statement construction is much more useful than having a jury consultant sitting next to the legal team during jury selection.

In this episode, Steve Wood examines Colossians 3:18–4:1 and St. Paul's teaching on Christian family households.

Celebrating Christmas Day with a Special Re-Air of Episode 541 What does the Bible really say about eternal life—and what happens to our bodies after death? 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.

In this special re-air of Episode 489 of Luke21, 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.
