Send us a textSPONSOR:   Briefcase MarketingAll good things must come to an end. After 187 episodes spanning more than three years, we're signing off with our final Question of Faith podcast. But don't worry—this isn't a somber farewell, but rather a reflection on life's transitions and what truly matters.We open with a profound realization that's hit each of us at different points in ministry: while we take our work seriously, the Church continues regardless of our individual contributions. As Fr. Eric puts it, "If I don't do my job, there'll still be people in the Seminary, because it's God who calls, not me." This humbling truth has taught us to hold our roles with a "loose grip," recognizing that our legacy isn't found in buildings bearing our names or possessions that burden others after we're gone.The timing of our finale coincides with organizational changes within the Diocese of Cleveland, where divisions are being combined and new ministries are emerging. While we can't share all the details just yet, we're excited about what's next. And how fitting that we record just after Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit empowered the apostles to spread the Gospel in new languages—a beautiful redemption of the Tower of Babel story that once divided humanity.SPONSOR:   Briefcase MarketingAt Briefcase Marketing, we create marketing that inspires action and delivers results.  We will:Clarify your message to attract the right audience.Streamline your website to convert more visitors into customers, donors or volunteers.Create consistency to build trust and deepen relationships across every marketing platform (Emails, Ads, Social Media, Etc).Check out some of their  successful clients and their most recent client, Doyle Med.WomankindTheology of the Body CLESt. John Cantius ParishBetween theological reflections, we answer one final question about fasting before Communion (it's one hour before receiving, not before Mass begins), share softball league updates, and reminisce about memorable moments from our podcast journey. Throughout it all, our conversation maintains that blend of depth and lighthearted banter that's defined Question of Faith from day one.Though this chapter closes, our ministries continue. We're not disappearing—you'll still find us serving throughout the Diocese of Cleveland, just in evolving roles. As we say in our final moments: "It's not goodbye, it's see you later." Thank you for being part of our journey. Special thanks to Dan Fuerst our sponsor at Briefcase Marketing.  May the questions of faith continue to guide your path forward.

The Daniel Prophecy  TS WrightThe podcast episode delves into a profound examination of the prophetic implications surrounding Daniel's vision, particularly the verse asserting that "many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."

Send us a textSPONSOR:   Briefcase MarketingCould Orthodox and Catholic Christians finally reunite after centuries of separation? As both traditions celebrated Easter on the same day this year, we explore the fascinating possibility of reconciliation between these ancient branches of Christianity.The calendrical quirk that aligned Orthodox and Catholic Easter dates this year isn't just a mathematical curiosity – it's a powerful symbol of potential unity. While Orthodox Christians typically use the Julian calendar (placing their Easter about 13 days different from the Gregorian calendar used by Catholics), this year's synchronization recalls the shared foundation established at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD.  More on this at this link.Pope Leo, whose papal crest bears the motto "In Christ we become one," is continuing dialogue started by Pope Francis regarding a permanent alignment of Easter celebrations. With the 1700th anniversary of Nicaea approaching and Pope Leo planning his first papal trip to Turkey for the commemoration, the momentum for meaningful unity seems stronger than ever. This historic moment coincides with what we're calling a "springtime in Christianity" – a period of renewal marked by increasing interest in faith traditions among younger generations seeking meaning beyond what secular culture offers.SPONSOR:   Briefcase MarketingAt Briefcase Marketing, we create marketing that inspires action and delivers results.  We will:Clarify your message to attract the right audience.Streamline your website to convert more visitors into customers, donors or volunteers.Create consistency to build trust and deepen relationships across every marketing platform (Emails, Ads, Social Media, Etc).Check out some of their  successful clients and their most recent client, Doyle Med.WomankindTheology of the Body CLESt. John Cantius ParishThe moving story of the Four Chaplains – Catholic, Jewish, Reformed, and Methodist ministers who gave away their life jackets and died together praying for others as their ship sank during WWII – provides a powerful model for interfaith cooperation. Their example reminds us that unity doesn't require uniformity, but rather mutual respect and shared purpose.Whether through local ecumenical efforts like joint Good Friday services or international dialogues between church leaders, these steps toward reunification represent healing for one of Christianity's most significant historical divisions. Could this be the moment when the Orthodox and Catholic traditions finally find their way back to communion? Join us as we explore this question and its profound implications for the future of faith.

The Fire of God  TS Wright Pastor Bob Thibodeau engages in a profound dialogue with Scott Wright, centering on the intricate relationship between fire and water as they explore end time scenarios through the lens of Second Peter Chapter Three. The episode delves into the contrasting yet interconnected roles of these elements, particularly how fire is destined to play a pivotal role in the final judgment, as outlined in scripture. They reflect on the historical context of Noah's flood, emphasizing that while water was once used for destruction, fire symbolizes a more consuming force that will ultimately refine creation. The discussion underscores the urgency of repentance, illustrating that the impending fire serves as both a warning and a call to action for individuals to reassess their spiritual alignment with God. As they navigate these weighty themes, the conversation stresses the significance of acknowledging God's sovereignty and the necessity of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ to escape impending judgment.Takeaways: The Kingdom Crossroads podcast, hosted by Pastor Bob Thibodeau, features interviews with diverse Christian leaders, aiming to amplify their impactful messages across the globe. In discussing Second Peter, they explore the dichotomy of fire and water, emphasizing how both elements play significant roles in God's plan for judgment and salvation. Pastor Bob highlights the importance of repentance as a key theme in understanding God's promises, particularly concerning the impending judgment by fire, which serves as a call to action for believers. The conversation touches on the historical context of Noah's flood and its implications for understanding God's covenant and future judgments, illustrating how divine promises are consistently upheld throughout scripture.

You Need Friends God's Cure for Loneliness Jake Thurston part 1Pastor Bob Thibodeau engages in a profound conversation with Jake Thurston, the author of "You Need Friends," as they explore the alarming loneliness epidemic that affects many, despite the paradox of our digital age. Thurston shares about the ancient Christian practice of spiritual friendship, advocating for a deeper connection that transcends superficial interactions and fosters genuine relationships rooted in mutual support and faith.
