EP 006 - When We Became Children of God 27.05.2024 17:26

Being God’s child is not some far-off thing yet to happen; it has happened. So what has been passed to us from the Apostles since Pentecost, through the multiple saints, through the Church Fathers, through countless Church teachings, and so on, are things explaining and teaching us what being a child of God is and how to live as one.

EP 005 - Pentecost, Then and Now. 20.05.2024 15:30

Here is an audio repeat of my homily for Pentecost, 2024. Have you ever considered that the Pentecost event never really ended? The Spirit is still at work today to help us with the mission and calling we have gotten from God. Listen to hear more on this.

EP 004 - Living the Beatitudes, Growing in Virtue 12.05.2024 28:27

What does holiness look like? Looking at what living the Beatitudes does is a good place to start looking for that answer. This was taken from a talk I gave to the group of Secular Carmelites that I belong to. * Books referenced: Back to Virtue by Peter Kreeft, The Church Fathers.

EP 003 - Having Christ's Words Abide In Us 11.05.2024 24:44

I'm continuing my thoughts on joy, especially the joy that only God can give. Also, what are some things we can do as Catholics to stay connected with Christ in the way He talks of in the Gospel—to abide?

EP 002 - Following Christ and Finding Joy 08.05.2024 31:34

There are many sources of joy that we enjoy. However, the majority of the joy we experience from those things often fades away after a while. Right after Christ explains that we are the branches and He is the vine, He says something about the joy coming from Him to us is given so that our joy can be complete. This reflection is on that joy and what some of it means for us.

EP 001 - Why a Focus on Holiness? 03.05.2024 22:39

Why holiness? Why have an entire podcast focus on the topic? I begin by explaining where I got the idea for it. One thing is what comes from Christ right out of Scripture: to love God with all we have all the time. Listen for more on this greatest of all commandments.

EP 000 - Introduction and Welcome 29.04.2024 13:43

Welcome and welcome back. This is not a joke. I have actually published something. In addition to an introduction, there is a major update on the 'why' of this reset. All the other podcasts have been archived, and in this intro, I explain why. Some things will remain the same, but others are going to be new. Listen if you like to see what I am talking about.
