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

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.

Everllence SE - In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Ingrid Rieken, CHRO bei Everllence SE, über HR-Transformation zwischen Ingenieurstradition und Pioniergeist. Gemeinsam machen wir Ambidextrie greifbar: Wie schaffen Führungskräfte den Spagat zwischen Effizienz und Innovation? Ingrid teilt konkrete Einblicke aus Workshops, Learnings aus Herausforderungen der Transformation und was sie heute anders machen würde. Außerdem diskutieren wir, warum Everllence bewusst auf flexible Arbeitsmodelle wie Jobsharing und Remote Work setzt – statt „Back to Office“. Für mich ist klar: Transformation heißt, Bewährtes zu respektieren und gleichzeitig mutig neue Wege zu gehen. Eine inspirierende Folge für alle, die Wandel aktiv gestalten wollen.Werbepartner dieser Episode: CanonUnser Equipment:Kameras: EOS R6 Mark IIObjektive: RF 50mm F1.8 STM, RF 16-28mm F2.8 IS STM, RF 28-70mm F2.8 IS STMMehr Infos zum Corporate Studios Angebot von Canon findet ihr hier: canon.de/corporate-studio

Wie hat Kirche Nachfolge verloren – und was bedeutet das für dich?Von der leidenschaftlichen Bewegung der ersten Christen über Institution und Tradition bis hin zum modernen Event: Diese Predigt nimmt dich mit auf eine Reise durch 2.000 Jahre Kirchengeschichte – und stellt eine ehrliche Frage: Leben wir noch als Nachfolger Jesu oder nur als Besucher?Kirche begann als Bewegung. Menschen teilten ihr Leben, trugen einander, hörten auf Gottes Stimme und folgten Jesus im Alltag. Mit der Zeit entstanden Strukturen, Traditionen und Events. Vieles davon ist wertvoll – doch wo Nachfolge zur Option wird, verliert Glaube seine Kraft.Diese Botschaft lädt dich ein, nicht im Publikum zu bleiben. Glaube ist die Tür. Nachfolge ist der Weg. Es geht nicht nur darum, an Jesus zu glauben, sondern mit ihm zu leben – Montag bis Sonntag.Vielleicht ist heute der Moment, Jesus neu zu vertrauen und deinen nächsten Schritt zu gehen: Beziehung vertiefen, Gemeinschaft suchen, Verantwortung übernehmen.Du bist herzlich eingeladen, Kirche als Bewegung zu erleben.

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. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Wie konnte die Jesus-Nachfolge im Lauf der Kirchengeschichte aus dem Blick geraten?War die Entwicklung von Bewegung zu Institution, von Tradition zu Event unvermeidlich – oder haben wir unterwegs etwas Entscheidendes verloren?In Folge 2 des Podcasts Mit Jesus unterwegs spricht Markus Wenz ehrlich über die vier Akte der Kirchengeschichte: die leidenschaftliche Bewegung der ersten Christen, die konstantinische Wende, Tradition, Reformation – und unsere moderne Event-Kultur. Es geht nicht um Anklage, sondern um eine ehrliche Bestandsaufnahme: Wo wurde Nachfolge durch Zugehörigkeit ersetzt? Wo wurde Glaube zur Tradition statt zur Lebenspraxis?Diese Episode ist für dich, wenn du verstehen willst, warum Kirche heute ist, wie sie ist – und wenn du dich nach echter, alltagsnaher Jesus-Nachfolge sehnst. Auch dunkle Kapitel wie Kreuzzüge und Machtmissbrauch werden nicht ausgeblendet, sondern reflektiert – mit der Frage: Wie leben wir heute anders?Vielleicht ruft Jesus dich nicht zurück in die Vergangenheit, sondern hinein in eine neue Reformation – weg vom Konsum, hin zur gelebten Nachfolge.► Weitere Infos & Links► Unsere Predigten & Podcasts:https://www.gospel-forum.de/medien#Podcast► Neu hier oder auf der Suche nach Anschluss?https://www.gospel-forum.de/connect/► Keine Gemeinde vor Ort?

Mit seinem neuen Song "Streets of Minneapolis" knüpft Springsteen direkt an die Themen von "Ghost of Tom Joad" an. Der Song reflektiert die sozialen und politischen Spannungen, die in Minneapolis nach dem Tod von George Floyd entstanden sind. Diese Ereignisse haben nicht nur die Stadt, sondern die gesamte Nation erschüttert und einen erneuten Aufruf zur Gerechtigkeit und zur Bekämpfung von Rassismus und Ungleichheit ausgelöst."Ghost of Tom Joad" ist stark von der biblischen Tradition geprägt, insbesondere von der Figur des Tom Joad aus John Steinbecks Roman "Früchte des Zorns". Tom Joad steht als Symbol für den kämpferischen Geist der Unterdrückten und der Entrechteten. Springsteen nutzt diese Figur, um zu zeigen wie wichtig Widerstand und Hoffnung sind.Ein besonders prägnantes Beispiel für diese Verbindung findet sich im Neuen Testament, in Matthäus 25,40: "Was ihr für einen meiner geringsten Brüder getan habt, das habt ihr mir getan." Diese Passage betont die moralische Verantwortung, die wir gegenüber den Bedürftigen und Unterdrückten haben. „Look in their eyes, and you'll see me."Diese Zeilen verdeutlichen, dass der Kampf um grundlegende Menschenrechte und soziale Gerechtigkeit eng mit der Stabilität der Demokratie verbunden ist. Springsteen fordert uns auf, die Menschen zu sehen, die für ihre Rechte kämpfen, und damit auch für die Werte, die eine demokratische Gesellschaft stützen.Die Verzweiflung und der Kampf der Menschen, die nach einem Platz in der Gesellschaft suchen, sind ein direktes Zeichen für die Gefährdung der Demokratie. Wenn die Stimmen dieser Menschen ignoriert werden, wird die Demokratie selbst untergraben. Die Verbindung zu Matthäus 25,40 ist hier besonders stark: Indem wir den Bedürftigen nicht helfen oder sie ignorieren, versäumen wir es, den Kern der demokratischen Werte zu leben. Und das sind die christlichen Wurzeln unserer Verfassung und nicht das Christentum über andere Religionen zu stellen – es geht um Miteinander und Solidarität, um die Geringsten und nicht um Überlegenheit.Und genau das ist das Thema seines neuen Songs. „We´ll take our stand for this land/ and the Stranger in our Midst“ – schön mit Orgel damit es jede und jeder merkt „in our midst“ ist biblisch- Gott oder Jesus ist dann unter dem Menschen, wenn sich 2 oder 3 in seinem Namen versammeln, und zwar nicht wie diese rechten Christen, sondern eben wie bei Tom Joad im Blick auf die Geringsten, durch Solidarität.Ich freue mich sehr dass die Textstellen aus dem Song von Martha Bardwell einer Pastorin aus Minneapolis gelesen werden.Hier Links zum Konzert in Minneapolishttps://youtu.be/Tj-yWE9fJpg?si=M2rODGtSnMWE9yVnhttps://youtu.be/Tj-yWE9fJpg?si=M2rODGtSnMWE9yVnFoto © Danny ClinchHomepage: https://7tage1song.dePlaylist Podcast und Song: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/20KHRuuW0YqS7ZyHUdlKO4?si=b6ea0b237af041ecInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/7tage1song/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pg/7tage1song/Kontakt: post@7tage1song.deLink zum Song: - schaut oben die Links zu den VideosSpotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0M5tOXTC0lM8RVycUBQnjy?si=idKC-CFaRp2ZD992gvWvsQ 

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. Fr. Mike reminds us that, although our original callings to leisure, love, and labor have been twisted by sin, they are renewed in Christ. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 374-384. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

The Feast of the Chair of St. Peter is celebrated annually on February 22nd to honor a wooden throne, enclosed in a massive bronze reliquary designed by Bernini, located in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. Tradition claims the chair belonged to the Apostle Saint Peter, the leader of the Early Christians in Rome and first Pope, and which he used as Bishop of Rome in the 1st century A.D. The relic symbolizes the authority and mission of St. Peter as the first Pope and the teaching authority, or magisterium, of his successors.

Anbetung ist größer als ein Moment – sie ist eine Wirklichkeit, die uns vorausgeht. Dieses Gespräch zwischen Pastor Kris Madarasz, Musiker Arne Kopfermann und Pastor David Schimmel führt von der Schönheit der Schöpfung über biblische Bilder himmlischer Anbetung bis hinein in die Frage: Wie formen Lieder unseren Glauben? Warum braucht es neue Songs, wenn es doch Psalmen und eine 2000-jährige Tradition gibt? Und was gewinnt eine Gemeinde, wenn sie sich sonntags gemeinsam „Wahrheit in den Mund legen lässt“? Im Zentrum steht die Hoffnung, dass Gott reines Licht ist – gerade dann, wenn unser Inneres von Dunkelheit überzogen scheint. Es geht um Gedanken über Gemeinschaft, Klage, Liturgie und die heilsame Kraft, sich von Gott neu ausrichten zu lassen: nicht aus Druck, sondern aus Gnade.

The Catechism teaches about God's plan and design for men and women—male and female—and their equality, complementarity, dignity, and destiny. Fr. Mike shows us how men and women can be both complete in themselves and yet made “for each other.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 369-373. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

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. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

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? This episode offers a Catholic framework for thinking about humanity's future beyond Earth.

Fr. Robert McTeigue examines who truly “stands with Rome.” With traditional Catholic teaching and lessons from the Doctors of the Church often conflicting with statements from modern Church leadership, it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand what that phrase means.

What happens when the system meant to protect the public fails? In this compelling episode of See You In Court, hosts Robin Frazer Clark and Lester Tate sit down with veteran Georgia trial lawyer and mediator Nick Moraitakis to discuss one of the most sobering chapters in Atlanta's legal history. From an unwritten drug arrest quota to a tragic police raid that ended in the death of an innocent woman, Nick walks us through how civil litigation uncovered planted evidence, false affidavits, and systemic misconduct. Nick's career spans decades in Georgia courtrooms. After beginning as a defense lawyer representing corporations and insurance companies, he transitioned to representing individuals and families harmed by negligence, medical malpractice, trucking accidents, product liability, and other wrongful acts. He has tried dozens of cases to verdict, served in the Georgia General Assembly, and now devotes his practice fully to mediation. His perspective is grounded in experience on both sides of the courtroom. In this conversation, we explore: • The real-world consequences of unchecked power • How civil lawsuits expose facts that might otherwise remain hidden • The role of courageous lawyers in protecting constitutional rights • Why the civil justice system remains essential to accountability Nick's Awards: -American College of Trial Lawyers, Fellow -American Board of Trial Advocates, Advocate -Best Lawyers in America®, Listed (2007 – present) -Tradition of Excellence Award, General Practice and Trial Section, State Bar of Georgia) -State Bar Chair of Advisory Committee on Legislation  This episode is a powerful reminder that civil justice is not abstract. It is personal. It is practical. And at times, it is the only path to the truth.

“God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). The Catechism teaches us about man's God-given dignity and unique place in creation. Fr.

Having arrived this season of penance, Holy Lent, we may look forward to the opportunity to put forth the effort of accepting God's graces for the good of our salvation. It is not a burden to shy away from. In this season we can find the courage to do as we ought, to look straight on toward the great gift Our Lord has bestowed upon us. All are free now to do what perhaps we felt throughout the year we could not do, namely embrace God's love and live in accordance with His will.

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. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

As we continue our sermon series through Galatians we discuss how Paul addresses tradition within the Christian faith and how it can become it's own kind of religion. We talk through what this looks like in Christianity in general, focusing on Protestant and Catholic belief systems, how they align and how they differ. We also briefly discuss Middle East tensions in a current events snapshot.

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.

As the Society of Saint Pius X is looking toward new consecrations and the threat of sanctions, we must never forget that this act is one of charity for the good of the Catholic Church. The Society esteems and loves what is most perfect, Who is God. And it is for God and His Church, that He established for the salvation of souls, which the Society serves. The Society will continue to serve this mission regardless of any adversity placed before it.

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.

God created heaven and earth — all that we see and all that we don't see. We learn that the earth is filled with men and many things we can see, but our faith tells us that there are many things on earth that we cannot see, including the presence of God and angels. Fr. Mike explains how human beings are spiritual and corporeal creatures, but angels are immortal, purely spiritual creatures. He tells us more about the role of angels and how, possessing intellect and will, they too are created to glorify God. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 325-330.

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman continue Abraham's story in Genesis 18–23 and watch the promises of God begin to unfold in real and messy ways. From radical hospitality to wilderness rescues, these chapters reveal a God who shows up, pursues, and provides. The lesson begins with Abraham running to welcome divine visitors on an ordinary afternoon, reminding us that the Lord appears in everyday moments and that we choose how fully we invite Him in. Placed beside it is Lot's story, where lingering and looking back contrast with Abraham's trust. Yet even there, the rescue continues. In houses of sin and cities on the brink, God still calls, “Escape,” revealing a heart determined to save. Genesis 21 and 22 then place two powerful stories side by side. In the wilderness, Hagar discovers the God who sees and provides a well where she least expects it. On Mount Moriah, Abraham and Isaac walk together toward a sacrifice, and the Lord provides a ram, foreshadowing the Lamb who would come later. In both stories, we see the same truth: whether in personal wilderness or eternal need, Jehovah Jireh is the God who provides. These chapters invite us to remember the mountains in our own lives where the Lord has seen us and supplied what we needed.

In this “In Brief” section of the Catechism, we review that only God has the power to create, that is, to call into existence something from nothing. God made man and the entire universe as a manifestation of his love, and he keeps the world and all of us in existence by his will. Fr. Mike discusses one of the greatest mysteries of our faith: God bringing good out of evil. He says we won't fully understand this mystery until we are united with God in heaven. In a broken world, we are called to trust in the goodness of God. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 315-324.

If God is a good Father and creates a good world, why does evil exist? The Catechism addresses this profound and often painful question. Fr. Mike helps us understand how to reconcile sin, evil, and suffering with God's loving Providence. He assures us that while God does not remove evil, he does redeem it, offering himself as the solution. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 309-314.
