Together with Fr. Mike, we examine the name above every other name: Jesus Christ. We explore the importance of this name and our reverence for it. Fr. Mike emphasizes that Christians, unlike those practicing other religions, tend to use the name of our Father in heaven “in vain.” He explains how detrimental and tragic that can be.

The Pharisees weren't policing hygiene—they were policing holiness by human standards. In Mark 7, Jesus exposes how religion can drift into legalism: obsessing over external performance while the heart grows cold, empty, and hypocritical. This episode calls us back to grace-driven obedience—and a unity rooted in God's Word, not man-made rules.

The Church dedicates the month of March to St. Joseph. He is the patron of the Universal Church. Just as the Blessed Virgin is the mother of all Christians, St. Joseph has been entrusted with the care of all, including the Church herself. This makes sense as St. Joseph was entrusted with being the father of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Moreover, he stands as an example for all. He was a man who accepted the will of God completely, even in the face of requests he could not fathom.

The New Appliance Ecosystem: Translating Value, Technology, and Human-Centric Design The modern appliance conversation has shifted beyond features and price into something far more consequential: value, usability, and human-centered design.  Designers, manufacturers, showrooms, and independent testing labs now operate as an interconnected ecosystem guiding consumers through increasingly complex decisions. The future of appliance specification belongs to those who can translate technology into meaningful, intuitive, lifestyle-driven solutions. Featuring insights from Nicole Papantoniou of the Good Housekeeping Institute, Jeff Sweet of Sub-Zero Group Inc., and Christa Mallinger of AJ Madison, this conversation explores how appliances have evolved from commodities into lifestyle infrastructure—and why education, not persuasion, defines the next era. KBIS Podcast Studio Resources: KBIS AJ Madison NKBA LUXE Interiors + Design SubZero, Wolf & Cove SKS | Signature Kitchen Suite Hearth & Home Technologies Kitchen365 Green Forrest Cabinetry Midea The appliance industry has entered a human-centric phase, where performance, intuitive use, and real lifestyle benefit outweigh raw features or price alone. Designers act as translators of lifestyle, manufacturers as problem-solvers, and showrooms as educators—collectively helping consumers navigate increasingly sophisticated choices. Panelists discussed the shift from feature-driven sales toward performance-driven value, emphasizing longevity, ease of use, and frictionless integration into daily life. They also explored the growing role of education, testing standards, showroom partnerships, and post-installation support in helping consumers fully realize the value of their investment. Technology remains central, but its success depends entirely on reducing friction—not adding novelty. The conversation revealed that the future of appliances lies not in more technology, but in better technology—technology that disappears into the experience. The Appliance Ecosystem Is Interdependent Designers interpret lifestyle and aesthetic needs. Manufacturers engineer performance-driven solutions. Showrooms educate and guide decision-making. Independent testing organizations validate performance and usability. Value Has Replaced Price as the Primary Decision Driver Consumers rarely regret investing more in appliances. Longevity, performance, and service support define value. Sustainability increasingly aligns with durability. Human-Centric Design Is the New Standard Appliances must be intuitive without relying on manuals. UX consistency across appliances improves adoption. Technology must solve real problems—not create new friction. Education Is More Important Than Selling Many consumers buy appliances only once every 10–15 years. Showrooms and testing labs bridge the knowledge gap. Post-installation education helps unlock full product potential. Appliances Are Expanding Beyond the Kitchen Refrigeration, coffee systems, and specialty appliances now appear throughout the home. Multi-kitchen and multi-generational design is driving specification complexity. Flexibility and modular integration are essential. Technology Adoption Depends on Familiarity and Trust Induction adoption accelerates when paired with familiar controls. Consumers embrace technology that feels intuitive and beneficial. Novelty alone does not guarantee long-term value. The modern appliance is no longer just a tool. It's infrastructure. At KBIS, where the industry gathers annually to define its future, a clear shift has emerged. Appliances are no longer judged solely by features or price, but by how effectively they integrate into human behavior. The question is no longer, “What does it do?” but rather, “What does it enable?” This shift has elevated the importance of collaboration across the appliance ecosystem. Designers serve as translators, interpreting the client's lifestyle into functional requirements. Manufacturers act as problem-solvers, engineering solutions grounded in real user needs. Showrooms and retailers bridge the gap between technology and understanding, while independent testing organizations validate claims and ensure products deliver on their promises. This ecosystem exists because appliance decisions have become more consequential—and more complex. Unlike consumer electronics, appliances are purchased infrequently. A homeowner may go fifteen years between purchases. During that time, the category evolves dramatically. Induction replaces gas. Steam ovens expand culinary capability. Refrigeration becomes modular, flexible, and architectural. Appliances no longer exist solely in kitchens, but in offices, bedrooms, outdoor spaces, and wellness areas. With that expansion comes responsibility. Technology must reduce friction, not create it. Christa, Nicole and Jeff all emphasized that human-centric design now drives product development. Appliances must be intuitive enough to operate without instruction, consistent enough to feel familiar, and purposeful enough to justify their presence. Technology for its own sake has limited value. Technology that removes mental load, improves performance, or enhances daily living defines the future. This is where education becomes critical. Showrooms no longer simply display products; they contextualize them. Independent testing organizations evaluate not only performance, but usability, cleanability, and intuitive function. Manufacturers increasingly provide post-installation support, recognizing that the real product experience begins after installation, not at purchase. Value, therefore, is no longer measured in features alone. It is measured in longevity. In reliability. In the confidence that a product will perform consistently over time. In the reduction of friction between intention and outcome. Perhaps most importantly, appliances have become emotional infrastructure. They support gathering, creativity, ritual, and identity. They enable the modern kitchen to function not just as a place of preparation, but as a center of living. The future of appliances will not be defined by how advanced they are. It will be defined by how invisible they become—seamlessly enabling life without demanding attention. And those who understand that distinction—designers, manufacturers, and educators alike—will define the next generation of the built environment.

Fr. Mike emphasizes that God did not have to do anything for us after the Fall, yet he sent us his only Son, and through his Son, we have received grace upon grace. We learn that the transmission of the Christian faith consists of proclaiming Jesus Christ to lead others to faith in him. If we are called to teach him, we must first have a relationship with him. Just as the Apostles burned with a desire to spread the Good News, we too are called to catechize and deliver the word of Christ as his spokesmen on Earth.

Fred from the Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back, and before we get started, make sure you click the link in the show notes and head over to subscribe to his channel. If you care about firsthand accounts coming straight out of Alaska and rooted in lived cultural experience, Fred's work is essential listening.In this episode, Fred takes us beyond simple encounter stories and into the foundation of how knowledge is preserved in his culture. He explains the vital role oral tradition plays in passing down history, survival skills, and encounters with what many in his community know as the Hairy Man. Written documentation is rare. He points out that “Story Knife” remains one of the few works that even attempts to capture fragments of that tradition in print. For generations, stories were not recorded in books—they were carried in memory, tied to landmarks, seasons, and lived experience. Fred also reflects on navigation, describing how descriptive mapping and deep familiarity with terrain once guided people across vast, unforgiving landscapes long before GPS existed. In his view, those skills are not outdated relics—they still matter. The conversation then shifts to a chilling account Fred heard in 2004 from a man named Jerry in Togiak. Jerry described a winter hunting trip west of Non Dalton that took a terrifying turn. During the hunt, a scream erupted across the tundra so intense that it scattered nearby wolves. What followed was even more disturbing. A Hairy Man reportedly struck a caribou with a single backhand blow to the ribs, dropping it. Jerry and his companions salvaged and packed the meat, trying to focus on the task at hand, but the encounter was far from over. The creature returned, and in an overwhelming display of strength and dominance, it threw their packed quarters over a ridge.The men abandoned the situation and escaped on their snow machines, shaken by what they had witnessed. Jerry also recalled an earlier sighting along the West Channel of the Nok River, where he saw a tall, young, slender Hairy Man that fled the area and swam away, avoiding contact. Fred then shares experiences from a property owner near Juneau, referred to as “Sam,” whose encounters unfolded over time rather than in a single dramatic moment. Sam described strange whistling that mimicked human tones, the sound and sight of bipedal movement in the trees, prolonged wood-banging that echoed through the forest, rocks landing near hunters, and even owl hoots that felt deliberately imitative rather than natural. Alongside these physical signs was a persistent, oppressive feeling in the woods—an atmosphere that made it clear something was present. Sam hesitated to speak openly for fear of ridicule, something Fred notes is common among witnesses.He also discusses a website encounter map and highlights recurring patterns across Alaska: whistles, rock throwing, wood knocks, and vocal mimicry that suggest these accounts follow familiar themes. Subarctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube ChannelEmail BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

We have arrived at the “nugget day” or the In Brief for the sections on The Father and Original Sin. Fr. Mike reiterates the important idea that every human person is good, but every human person is also broken. This brokenness and inclination towards sin is called concupiscence. However, as St. Paul reminds us “Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more” (Romans 5:20). Fr. Mike concludes with the sentiment of hope that we believe that the world has been established and set free by God's love. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 413-421.

Fr. Mike explores the hard battle which each and every one of us must face, the battle with sin. Together, we examine the mystery of us being both free and under the power of the Devil. Fr. Mike emphasizes that if we are unaware of our wounded nature, it can lead to grave errors in our own lives. If we have an attitude that, “since I'm made good, then everything I'm drawn to must be good,” we can fall into temptation and evil. We conclude on a hopeful note; however, that even after we sinned, God did not abandon us to the “domain of death,” and with God's grace, evil will never have the last word.

Today on Questions with Father, we tackle a topic that may sound shocking to modern ears: the Index of Forbidden Books. Did the Catholic Church really ban books? Does the Church reject “freedom of speech”? And what does any of that mean for Catholics today living in an age of unlimited media and instant access to everything? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko walks us through the history of the Index, the natural law principles behind censorship, and why the Church once considered certain books more dangerous than many visible sins.

Story Transcript:He: במדרכות האבן הצרות של צפת, ספוגות ברוח החורף הקריר, הסתובבו הדמויות המסתוריות והצבעוניות של פורים.En: On the narrow stone sidewalks of Tzfat, soaked with the cool winter breeze, the mysterious and colorful figures of Purim wandered.He: הרחובות היו מלאים בצלילים של שירים צוהלים וצחוק מתגלגל.En: The streets were filled with sounds of joyful songs and rolling laughter.He: יונתן עמד ליד פינת הכניסה לגלריה הקטנה שבה הציג את אומנותו.En: Yonatan stood by the entrance corner of the small gallery where he displayed his art.He: הגלריה הזו הייתה המקום היחיד בו הרגיש שהוא יכול לשלב בין מסורת האבות לאהבתו לאומנות.En: This gallery was the only place where he felt he could combine the traditions of his ancestors with his love for art.He: יונתן הביט לכיוון הרחובות, חושב על האתגר שניצב בפניו.En: Yonatan looked towards the streets, thinking about the challenge before him.He: המשפחה שלו הרגישה שהגיע הזמן שיצעד בנתיב המסורתי, אך ליבו נמשך לאמנות.En: His family felt it was time for him to step onto the traditional path, but his heart was drawn to art.He: בשנים האחרונות קיווה לשלב בין שני העולמות, אך הרגיש שנקרע בין רצונותיו לשמר את המורשת ולהיות אמן עצמאי.En: In recent years, he hoped to merge the two worlds, but felt torn between his desires to preserve heritage and to be an independent artist.He: בלב התמהיל הזה, אחותו הקטנה, אביבה, הופיעה מולו, צחקה ושיחקה כמו ילדה.En: In the midst of this blend, his younger sister, Aviva, appeared before him, laughing and playing like a child.He: ״פורים שמח, יונתן!En: "Happy Purim, Yonatan!"He: ״ היא קראה.En: she called out.He: האנרגיה שלה הדביקה את סביבתה, והיא הייתה חדורה במטרה לחבר בין כל בני המשפחה שהגיעו לאירוע.En: Her energy was infectious, and she was determined to connect all the family members who had come to the event.He: מאחור התקרבה שירה, ילדותו ממנה הוא נפרד לפני שנים.En: Behind her approached Shira, from his childhood, whom he parted ways with years ago.He: היא הייתה מחופשת למלכה מהאגדות, ומהבגד שלה הבריקו פנינים וסטנים.En: She was dressed as a fairy-tale queen, with pearls and satins shining from her costume.He: כשהיא התקרבה, יונתן חש ברטט בלב.En: As she approached, Yonatan felt a flutter in his heart.He: הוא היה זהיר מאוד, כי ידע שלשירה יש רגשות כלפיו עליהם מעולם לא דיברו.En: He was very cautious, knowing that Shira had feelings for him that they never spoke about.He: היא הביטה בו, עיניים מלאות חום ואמרה, ״יונתן, גלריה שלך מוצלחת מאוד.En: She looked at him, eyes full of warmth, and said, "Yonatan, your gallery is very impressive.He: אני בטוחה שהיום הכול ישתנה לטובה.En: I am sure today everything will change for the better."He: ״ היא חייכה חיוך קטן, כמו ממגנט את כל תשומת לבו.En: She gave a small smile, as if magnetizing all his attention.He: במהלך הפסטיבל, עטוף בריח המאפים ובקולות השוק, יונתן קיבל את ההודעה הלא צפויה: היצירה האהובה שלו הופיעה במרכז הבמה של האירוע המרכזי.En: During the festival, enveloped in the smell of pastries and the sounds of the market, Yonatan received an unexpected message: his favorite artwork was featured at the centerpiece of the main event.He: זה היה רגע שבו הכל התנקז והתחבר, והקהל עמד סביבו והביט ביצירה.En: It was a moment where everything converged and connected, with the crowd standing around him gazing at the artwork.He: הבחירה עמדה מולו ברורה יותר מתמיד.En: The choice stood before him clearer than ever.He: וההבנה, שבצפת ניתן לשמר את המורשת דרך אמצעים מודרניים – דרך אומנותו.En: And the understanding that in Tzfat, it is possible to preserve heritage through modern means—through his art.He: יונתן ידע שכאן הוא יכול לפעול וליצור במסגרת משפחתו והעיר האהובה עליו, בלי לוותר על חלומו.En: Yonatan knew that here he could act and create within the framework of his family and the city he loves, without giving up his dream.He: הוא ניגש אל בימת התצוגה, לוקח נשימה עמוקה, והכריז בקול יציב: ״אני נשאר בצפת.En: He approached the display stage, took a deep breath, and announced in a steady voice, "I am staying in Tzfat.He: האומנות והמשפחה – שתיהן חשובות לי.En: Both art and family are important to me.He: ואני אמצא דרך לשלב ביניהן.En: And I will find a way to combine them."He: ״בעוד הקהל מוחא כפיים ואביבה מחבקת אותו חזק, שירה עמדה לצד ונראה היה שרגשותיה קיבלו כיוון חדש, כזה שהוביל לחיבור אישי יותר בין החברים מאז היותם ילדים.En: As the crowd applauded and Aviva hugged him tightly, Shira stood aside, and it seemed her feelings took a new direction, one that led to a more personal connection between the friends since childhood.He: כך, באותו חורף קר בצפת, הבין יונתן שאפשר לשמור על המורשת המשפחתית דרך האומנות שלו, ולמצוא באושר את הסינתזה בין המסורת התמידית לחלום האישי.En: Thus, in that cold winter in Tzfat, Yonatan realized that it is possible to preserve the family heritage through his art, and to happily find the synthesis between eternal tradition and personal dream.He: זה היה הרגע בו חייו שינו את מסלולם החדש והוא הבין שהוא יכול להיות יונתן, בן המשפחה ואמן בו זמנית.En: It was the moment when his life changed its course, and he understood that he could be Yonatan, both a family member and an artist simultaneously.

Fr. Mike examines the consequences of the sin of our first parents, Adam and Eve. He discusses that even though they committed a personal sin, it affected all of human nature. As Fr. Mike states, “Original sin broke the world.” Additionally, we explore the idea that although we are good, we are still broken. Fr. Mike also discusses how each and every one of us has an inclination towards evil and sin known as concupiscence. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 402-406.

Temptations are always part of our lives. Everyone will be challenged by them, as Our Lord was. Then there are what we call the near occasions of sin. Some of us may believe that we can resist them despite succumbing to these vices in the past. We must be aware of our inclinations toward these sins while also adamantly avoiding those situations that would allow us to fall into them.

In the February 26, 2026 episode of The Interpreter Insights Podcast, our host Terry Hutchinson and his guest John Thompson discuss John's new book Abraham and His Family in Scripture, History, and Tradition, coedited with Jeffrey M. Bradshaw, Matthew L. Bowen, and David R. Seely, and his article “‘Being of that Lineage': Generational Curses and Inheritance in the Book of Abraham” from Volume 54 of Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship. The post Interpreter Insights Podcast — February 26, 2026 with John Thompson first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

We're back for more stories about the impact the David Eccles School of Business has on the lives and careers of our alumni, and today, host Frances Johnson is joined by Steve Johnson and his sons Mitchell Johnson and Alex Johnson, multi-generational alums of the David Eccles School of Business, for an “All Johnson” episode on our season finale.Steve Johnson is CFO at Parker-Migliorini International, LLCm also known as PMI Foods, where he has been since 2006.. Mitchell Johnson joined Big Four accounting firm KPMG in 2002 and currently works there as a senior audit associate. Alex Johnson works in inbound sales at Weave Communications. Frances talks to the Johnsons about their family's multi-generational ties to the U of U,, the campus's growth and new facilities, and favorite Eccles experiences such as Alex's Business Scholars trips (including visits to Boeing and Amazon), Mitchell's semester abroad in London through Eccles Global and other Business Scholars travel, and Steve's IBM corporate finance internship. They also discuss the value of staying involved as young alumni—especially for in-person networking and forming long-term relationships. Steve shares the reasons why it is so important for his family to give back through scholarships and endowments, influenced by the scholarship support he and his father received and his experience reading scholarship applications on the University of Utah Alumni Board of Governors. They also reflect on how the Eccles School prepared them for different career paths through programs, professional development, and experiential learning, and offer students advice to slow down, broaden their horizons, and take advantage of campus resources and opportunities.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web.

What do you hope that they do to stay engaged with the Eccles School? How do you hope they contribute, and what do you hope they're going to gain from that continued connection in your family?[32:02] Steve Johnson: Well, I hope they'll gain the same enjoyment and satisfaction that I did. The ability to feel a belonging, to continue to pass the torch along. The more involved you get and the more involved you get over time, you have a connection to the community. And it's very important. It is part of our community.The power of the alumni network matters more than digital connections[17:38] Mitchell Johnson: In the modern era, things like LinkedIn always are very beneficial to career advancement and building connections. But I think having the alumni network and having all the real in-person tangible connections just goes so, so far. And I think being able to keep, stay in touch with your old classmates, but also meeting people who have been alums for a long time, or who are fresh out of college. It's great just to build those relationships, because you never know how far those could actually take you in life.The career advantage of staying open to new connections[20:16]: Alex Johnson: I think you never know at what point, like, the perfect career opportunity might come up for you. And I think you never want to shy away from those opportunities. And I think just continuing to increase your network is a great opportunity. I think sometimes what might happen is sometimes people, they leave college and they kind of get so focused in one area, they kind of shrink their network. But I think as you continue to build your network and meet new people, like even going to some of these alumni events, I have been able to meet new people who I did not know in college. And that is a great opportunity because you might be able to meet someone who has been in your shoes but was not the exact same age as you.Show Links:Steve Johnson | LinkedInMitchell Johnson | LinkedInAlex Johnson | LinkedInDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

On this episode of The Group of Five Guys Podcast, The GOFG break down a potential shakeup to one of college football's most sacred traditions as Army head coach Jeff Monken proposes moving the Army–Navy game to Thanksgiving week. Is it smart for exposure—or does it ruin what makes the game special? We also dive into the newly released 2026 Mountain West football schedule and what it means for conference contenders and the expanded playoff race. Plus, USA Hockey brings home gold on the international stage, and we react to a Kansas basketball player taking himself out of a game in a moment that's reigniting the “load management” debate in college sports. Tradition vs. modernization. Exposure vs. purity. And are players gaining too much autonomy—or just using the power they've finally earned?

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, lots of Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union address. The truth is they'd be more comfortable sitting in UN seats listening to some Marxist or Islamist dictator spewing hate about our country. This ​is ​a ​party ​that ​accepts ​no ​traditions ​or ​customs. The Democrat Party is radical and intent on destroying the economy, citizenship, and national sovereignty. They want to dismantle the American system through policies like open borders, no deportations, treating illegal aliens as citizens, and eliminating voter ID. Also, Tucker Carlson is an evil traitor. He's stabbing the president in the back to foreign countries and undermining our country and our military. He's promoting anti-Israel, anti-Semitic propaganda in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, defending Sharia law and Islam while attacking Christians and Jews, and giving aid to enemies amid potential war with Iran. Later, secularists, Marxists, and Democrats hypocritically enforce strict separation of church and state, which has banned displays of the Ten Commandments and even silent prayer in schools while expunging Christian influences from classrooms. In contrast, over the last 10–15 years, Islamists have gained influence, with schools distributing Qurans, Sharia law materials, and allowing Muslim prayers. The core problem is weakness among American institutions and ruling class figures who are intimidated, frightened, or sympathetic believers. Islamists exploit the federalist system's local sovereignty by heavily organizing and attending meetings to push their agenda, while Democrats view them as a new voting constituency. Finally, Tommy Robinson calls in with a warning to America – don't make the same mistake Britain, Germany or France did. Robinson describes his personal experience growing up in a town 30 miles north of London, where the Muslim population has dramatically increased since his birth in 1982 turning White English people into a minority. He warns that mass immigration from Muslim-majority countries has planted similar destructive seeds in America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Together, with Fr. Mike, we explore the nature of man's first sin or our “freedom put to the test.” Fr. Mike unpacks the importance of us understanding that freedom is not the power to “do what we want,” but rather, the power to “do what I ought.” Though the story of the first sin is that of our first parents, Fr. Mike emphasizes that we still repeat the grave error of the first sin in our own lives by preferring our own perceived “goods” over the “goods” of our Creator and Father in heaven.

Trust has always been the invisible architecture beneath brands, institutions, and markets. But today, that architecture is shifting. For the past decade, we've moved through distinct eras of trust. First came consequence brands, which positioned themselves around measurable moral impact. Then came emotion-led brands, where what felt right became the guiding force. Now we appear to be entering a third era, where trust is built not on credentials or transparency, but on visible sacrifice and embodied virtue. As institutional continuity weakens and shared reality fragments, credibility reorganizes around individuals. “Proof of knowing” carries less weight than “proof of doing.” Degrees, affiliations, and institutional endorsements are no longer sufficient signals. Instead, audiences look for lived experience, personal risk, and skin in the game. At the same time, many of the platforms designed to increase transparency have reduced everyday vulnerability. But true trust requires vulnerability. As a result, trust is reemerging in smaller, more intimate spaces where shared stakes and emotional exposure create safety. In this episode of Unseen Unknown, Jasmine and Jean-Louis explore how trust systems evolve, why incremental positioning feels insufficient in the current cultural climate, and what this shift means for founders and brands trying to remain credible. When trust becomes the product itself, the rules change.

Why do I call myself a conservative? The answer, despite what our current political landscape may tell you, is not that controversial. Fundamentally, I believe in a limited government, free markets, strong national defense, and an emphasis on individual responsibility. As a historian, I have studied the atrocities brought upon humanity by tyrannical and unrestrained governments. Our Founding Fathers gave us a framework to prevent this, and we should follow their lead in order to preserve our liberty.“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” - Gustav MahlerLEARN MORE:Website: https://stephenmansfield.tv/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/mansfieldwrites/ X: https://twitter.com/MansfieldWrites

Lent is a great time to receive graces, but we cannot receive them in vain or let them go to waste. The story of the life of José Sánchez del Río, a fourteen year old boy who died a martyr without giving up the Catholic Faith, is a profound example of how we may receive God's grace, indeed God's strength, without relinquishing it even under the most trying circumstances.

In this engaging campfire conversation, Larry Weishuhn sits down with Rick Lambert at Baker Bottoms to talk quail hunting traditions, shotgun preferences, habitat conservation, and a lifetime passion for the outdoors. Rick shares highlights from his recent experience at the historic Grand National Quail Hunt in Enid, Oklahoma, discussing the camaraderie, competition, and conservation focus that make the event special. The conversation expands into broader reflections on declining quail populations, the importance of habitat management, and the evolution of firearms and ammunition. Blending storytelling, technical insight, and classic outdoor nostalgia, this episode celebrates the heritage of upland hunting and the people working to preserve it. Rick recounts being invited to the long-running hunt dating back to the 1940s. Event combines: Two days of hunting Four days of fellowship and fundraising Strong emphasis on habitat preservation and conservation. Rick's team won both the trap shoot and quail competition. Takeaway: The hunt is as much about relationships and conservation as it is about shooting. Larry and Rick discuss the troubling decline of quail populations, especially in Texas. Key factors discussed: Habitat destruction (especially fence line clearing) Disease pressures (including eye worm issues) Changes in land management practices Rick emphasizes: “You cannot destroy the habitat of anything.” Both hosts reflect nostalgically on hearing bobwhite whistles in their youth versus today's scarcity. Rick describes himself as a traditional double-barrel enthusiast. His preferences: Strong love for side-by-side and over-under shotguns Favors sub-gauges, especially the 28 gauge Appreciates wood and steel over synthetic materials Believes .410 is often too challenging for beginners Notable insight: “If you call yourself a shot, you can kill anything with a sub-gauge that you can with a 12 gauge.” Rick shares how his views evolved over time: Early resistance to polymer pistols like Glock Eventually adopted them after seeing their practical advantages Still emotionally prefers traditional firearms This segment provides a thoughtful look at balancing tradition with modern performance. The conversation shifts into lever-action rifles and classic hunting arms. Discussed favorites: Savage 99 (especially in .300 Savage) Marlin rifles (post-Ruger acquisition quality improvements) Browning BLR Ruger No. 1 Rick shares a lifelong dream tied to the Savage 99 and traditional deer camps in the Northeast. Both men stress responsible hunting: Know your personal limits first Know your firearm's limits second Avoid wounding game Practice at distance to improve close-range precision Larry explains that long-range practice is about building confidence for ethical shots inside 100 yards. Rick reflects on future hunting goals: Considering bird hunting trips to Scotland or Sweden Has hunted Africa, New Zealand, Canada, and Mexico Plans to focus more on wing shooting as he ages Memorable line: “At 75 I'm going to start shooting feathers because I love shotgunning.” This episode delivers classic campfire storytelling mixed with practical hunting wisdom. It will especially resonate with: Upland bird hunters Shotgun traditionalists Conservation-minded outdoorsmen Fans of classic firearms The conversation reinforces that great hunting is about heritage, habitat, and the people you share camp with. “Most firearms have more character than we do as shooters.” Learn More: DSC Foundation: dscf.org Dallas Safari Club: biggame.org Learn more about your ad choices.

Fr. Mike explores the fall of the angels, and how their fall leads to our own “fall into death out of envy.” Together, we examine what caused some of the angels to fall, whether it be pride or envy, and how it affects humanity's reality within creation. Fr. Mike concludes with a commentary on the mystery of why Divine Providence permits evil and the actions of the fallen angels. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 391-395.

They share personal ministry journeys and describe the challenge of shifting established, often attractional church systems toward obedience-based disciple making rooted in the Great Commission (Matthew 28) and maturity in Christ (Colossians 1). Using an iPhone vs. Android operating system metaphor, they argue disciple making can't be added as a side program but must reshape the whole church. They present research findings that fewer than 5% of U.S. churches have a culture rooted in Jesus-style disciple making and outline four core practices seen in exemplary churches: convictional leadership, a contextual and reproducible model, high expectations, and cultural alignment. 00:00 Welcome & Why Disciple-Making Alignment Matters 04:03 Jeff Story: From Slogans to a Disciple-Making Culture 08:23 Paul: Leaving Membership Metrics for Making Disciples 13:24 Training Process Overview + The iPhone vs. Droid ‘Operating System' Metaphor 18:59 State of Disciple-Making in North America + Jesus' Intentional Relational Method 21:40 The Great Commission Explained: ‘Make Disciples' and Obedience-Based Faith 27:09 Beyond ‘Evangelism' vs ‘Discipleship': One Mission—Salvation to Maturity 32:38 Bobby's Journey: Coleman, Church Systems, Disciple Shift, and Renew's Theology 41:07 Research Findings: Why Most Churches Aren't Disciple-Making Churches 44:57 The 4 Core Practices: Convictional Leadership, Model, Expectations, Alignment 50:09 Why Revelation's First 3 Chapters Matter Most (Jesus & the Churches) 52:38 Legacy Church Challenge: Shifting to a Discipleship Culture Without Blowing It Up 54:05 Defining a Disciple: Follow Jesus, Be Changed, Join the Mission 56:01 Personal Discipleship Story: Learning to Make Disciples Who Make Disciples 57:24 Why People Struggle to Disciple: The Baseball Analogy 01:00:15 Early Momentum & Staff Culture Change: Baptisms, Next Steps, Monday Stories 01:02:01 The Discipleship Mandate ‘Cumulative': Jesus, Church, NT, Leaders, Gathering 01:11:43 Alignment Killers: Competing Agendas, Wrong Metrics, Instant-Result Expectations 01:13:36 10 Levers to Use (Not Demonize): Large Church, Sunday, Pulpit, Tradition, Doctrine 01:23:20 Five-Part Roadmap: Missional, Theological, Philosophical, Organizational, Relational 01:27:57 Break, Then Missional Alignment Deep Dive: Love God, Love People, Then Make Disciples 01:32:38 Avoiding Counterfeit Missions: Tradition, Buildings, and Other Substitutes 01:33:20 C.S.

The Catechism introduces us to the Fall, beginning with the reality of sin and the mystery of evil. Fr. Mike highlights the fact that sin is not “a developmental flaw, a psychological weakness, a mistake, or the necessary consequence of an inadequate social structure,” but it is man saying, “not your will, but mine be done” to God. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 385-390.

Lent has arrived. Whatever trepidation we may have had leading into this season, the reality is the crosses we are called upon to carry are far less a burden than we hold in our imagination. Lent presents an opportunity for us, indeed a freedom, to practice the virtues we must always adhere to. And this penitential season offers us a renewed opportunity to draw closer to God.

As someone who has always been “anti-rational,” Dr. Ora Wiskind finds a world of deeper connection in Jewish mysticism.

She is an associate professor and the head of the Graduate Program in Jewish Studies at Michlalah College, Jerusalem.Now, she joins us to answer eighteen questions with Rabbi Dr. Benji Levy on Jewish mysticism including the illusion of free will, embracing life's journey over understanding its purpose, and how transformation often emerges from brokenness. Here are our questions:What is Jewish mysticism?How were you introduced to Jewish mysticism?In an ideal world, would all Jews be mystics?What do you think of when you think of God?What is the purpose of the Jewish people?How does prayer work?What is the goal of Torah study?Does Jewish mysticism view men and women the same?Should Judaism be hard or easy?Why did God create the world? Can humans do something that is against God's will?What do you think of when you think about Moshiach?Is the State of Israel part of the final redemption?What is the greatest challenge facing the world today?How has modernity changed Jewish mysticism?What differentiates Jewish mysticism from the mysticism of other religions? Does one need to be religious to study Jewish mysticism?Can mysticism be dangerous?How has Jewish mysticism affected your relationships with yourself and with others?What is a Jewish teaching that you always take with you?

We're coming up on the 40th yahrzeit of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, and this episode is a guided tour through Rav Moshe's Torah on the questions every Ben Torah eventually faces:How do I build a life where Torah stays central… while I'm working, providing, and living in the real world?Our guest, Rabbi Moshe Kurtz (rabbi, podcaster, and serious Rav Moshe researcher), just released a new sefer: Me'oros Moshe — a curated collection of Rav Moshe's divrei Torah on Pirkei Avos, pulling from Igros Moshe, derashos, chidushim, and key writings from talmidim and family.You will hear: how Rav Moshe frames kollel, parnassah, college, career choices, and what it means to live with “aseh Torascha keva” even outside the beis medrash.What you'll learn in this episode:1) Kollel isn't “all or nothing”2) “College” is not automatically the derech ha-parnassah3) The big idea: “Aseh Torascha keva” is about orientation, not just hours4) Career choices: Rav Moshe's lens on medicine and “zero-sum” tradeoffs5) Rav Moshe's greatness wasn't only brilliance — it was care-driven psakTo order Meoros Moshe, click hereBio: Rabbi Moshe KurtzRabbi Moshe Kurtz serves as the Rabbi of Congregation Sons of Israel in Allentown, PA.

In the beginning, humans were in friendship with God and in harmony with creation. The Catechism unfolds this harmony and introduces us to the “original justice” that our first parents lost in sin.

Read OnlineAt that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was hungry. The tempter approached and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread.” Matthew 4:1–3In His great humility and compassion for us, Jesus, the Incarnate Son of God, allowed Himself to endure something that we sinful human beings encounter every day—temptation. God's glorious plan from the beginning included the creation of both humans and pure spirits—angels—to form one glorious Kingdom of God. Original Sin, the fall of the angels, and our struggle against temptation were not part of God's original intention, but they became realities due to the misuse of free will, both by angels and by humans. Free will was necessary for both angels and humans to love God freely, which led to a third of the angels and many humans turning away from Him.Theologians such as Saint Thomas Aquinas and Saint Augustine offer profound insights into God's original plan for His Kingdom. In that plan, angels were believed to have been tasked with assisting humans in their journey toward perfection through enlightenment and contemplation. Some choirs of angels were tasked with the governance of the cosmos, guiding the physical world in harmony with God's will.Tragically, the fall of a third of the angels, along with the sin of our first parents, Adam and Eve, has resulted in a world filled with struggle and sin. The fallen angels—now demons—use their natural gifts to deceive, confuse, and tempt. Those who were once responsible for guiding the cosmos now seek to sow chaos, contributing to the existence of natural disasters, disease, and death. While Catholic angelology is speculative, based on a limited amount of biblical revelation, it is important to recognize the role of angels and demons as we enter this sacred season of Lent.Today's Gospel focuses on the activity of the most powerful fallen angel—satan, originally named Lucifer, meaning “Light-Bearer.” Tradition holds that he was among the highest of the angels, possibly a Seraphim. According to Saint Thomas Aquinas, Lucifer's fall resulted from pride: He desired to be a god unto himself, to create and govern according to his own will, refusing to serve God. This cosmic reality, of which both Jesus and satan were fully aware, sets the stage for and adds profound significance to their encounter in the desert.In this dramatic confrontation, Jesus, by allowing Himself to be tempted, begins the ultimate defeat of satan, a victory that will culminate in Jesus' Passion, Death, and Resurrection. This is the only recorded instance in which Jesus permits satan to tempt Him directly. While satan remained active throughout Jesus' ministry, seeking to disrupt His mission, this moment in the desert addresses temptation specifically. By rejecting each temptation, Jesus not only demonstrates how to overcome the devil but also empowers humanity with the grace needed to resist temptation through His triumph on the Cross.As we enter into the first full week of Lent, reflect today on the temptations you face in your own life. Though satan is powerful and highly intelligent, he is no match for the grace of God. By uniting ourselves to Christ, we are strengthened to resist all that satan and his demons throw at us. Victory over temptation is not achieved by our own strength but through Christ's grace, which He freely offers to all who turn to Him. My victorious Lord, You faced satan with courage, the once-beautiful angel who fell from grace through pride and envy. Now he seeks to destroy those whom You love. Give me Your strength and courage this Lent as I confront my own temptations, so that united with You, I may share in Your victory. Jesus, I trust in You.Image - Carl Heinrich Bloch - Jesus TemptedSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

The soul and the body “are not two natures united, but rather their union forms a single nature.” The Catechism introduces us to this profound mystery and begins to unpack our nature as a body and as a soul. Fr. Mike shows us how so much pain and confusion in modern times—and indeed throughout history—stems from an attempt to separate these two inseparable parts of our being. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 362-368.

Today on Questions with Father, we look upward—quite literally. What does the Catholic Church say about space travel? Is exploring the cosmos a noble pursuit, or does it risk becoming a modern Tower of Babel? We reflect on Pope Pius XII's encouragement of scientific exploration, the real medical and scientific benefits gained from space missions, and the moral principles that help us judge the risks involved. We also examine the modern push toward space tourism, lunar colonization, and even reshaping human identity through technology. Where does legitimate discovery end and hubris begin?

There is a solidarity among all of God's creatures because all are oriented to give glory to God. We learn that God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh day, sanctifying it and blessing it. Fr. Mike tells us that all creatures were made with a view to the Sabbath, created for the worship and adoration of God. We are all called to the sacred task of worshiping God and nothing else should take precedence over it. We end with an “In Brief” review of all we have learned in recent sessions about the physical world, the spiritual world, angels, and creation. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 344-354.

God created all of the visible world in richness, diversity, and order, and everything owes its existence to God. Because all of creation comes from God, every creature has its own goodness and perfection and God wills the interdependence of all creatures. Father Mike helps us to see that God gave us the world for our use, but not for our abuse. Human beings are made in the image and likeness of God and we are charged with caring for the natural world and all of its creatures. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 337-343.

The angels belong to Christ as they were made through him and for him, and he has made them messengers of his saving plan. We learn that angels have been present throughout the history of salvation, and the life of Christ is surrounded by the adoration and service of angels. Fr. Mike explains how in the liturgy, we join the angels in praising God, and all of human life is surrounded by angels' care and protection. He reminds us that all angels and saints have the power to intercede for us before God. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 331-336.
