The Faith Explained with Cale Clarke - Learning the Catholic Faith

Philippians 3:1-11. Paul had every credential one could hope for...but it was nothing compared to his new identity in Christ.

Who are the "evil workers" St. Paul is referring to in Philippians 3? What is it that they were teaching? Cale looks at this and more.

Do you have a mentor or spiritual guide for how to live out your faith? Cale looks at the companions of St. Paul and how learning from other believers is a must in the Christian life.

How can you be a light in the world? Cale continues to look at St. Paul's letter to the Philippians and what it meant then and what it means for you today.

Cale explores Philippians 2:12-18. How can we live the virtues of purity and obedience as children of God, in the midst of a corrupt and wicked culture?

Cale looks at the ultimate example of the “kenosis” (self-emptying) of Jesus in Philippians 2:5-11. 

Cale looks at Philippians 1:27 – 2:4. What does unity in the Church look like?

Paul goes through incredible lengths to preach the Gospel. He is concerned about God's judgment and implores us to make God more widely known and loved.

Cale continues his look at Philippians discussing the mutual love Paul had for the Philippians and that they had God's grace.

Paul writes about rejoicing in Jesus from a dank prison cell. We can’t always control our circumstances, but we CAN control our response, choosing the attitude of Christ.

In this opening session on St. Paul’s Letter to the Philippians, Cale offers an overview of the historical context, geography, and social scene of his readers, and how it relates to our own.

Seen at sporting events everywhere, it’s the most famous verse in the Bible: John 3:16. Plus: a Q&A on why priests wear black. 

How the virtue of order is foundational to all other virtues.

What did crucifixion look like in the ancient world? Did Jesus die on the cross? Cale looks at multiple historical sources outside of the Bible that mention the death of Jesus on the cross. What does Christ’s death on the cross mean for us? Why did God suffer and die in the person of Jesus Christ?

“Behold His Face”: What if God offered you a deal: you could have everything you’ve ever wanted, but you would NEVER see His face. Would you take it?

“The Marriage Supper of the Lamb”: why the Eucharist is “the sacrament of the Bridegroom and the Bride” (St John Paul II).

“The Mark of the Lamb”: just as the followers of the Beast in Revelation are marked with “666”, the followers of the Lamb are marked…but with what?

“The Lamb’s Book of Life”. Is your name written in Heaven? Can it ever be blotted out? 

The living dead: how can the Lamb in Revelation be “standing as if slain”? The answer is Resurrection. And: will only 144,000 people go to heaven? ECCLESIA DE EUCHARISTIA https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_20030417_eccl-de-euch.html

Discover the secret of the blood and water flowing from Jesus’ side, and why his bones were never broken. 

Why Jesus’ command to eat his flesh and drink his blood at the New Passover sacrifice is NOT cannibalism. 

As the first Passover meal was eaten before the Exodus, Jesus institutes a “New Passover” meal (the Eucharist) before the “New Exodus”.

The “crucifixion” of the lambs at Passover vividly evokes what would happen to Jesus. Plus, in our Q&A segment: did Jesus use hypnosis to fake miracles? 

It wasn’t enough to kill the Passover lamb. It had to be eaten. And so it is with the Eucharistic sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God.

During Easter and Passover, the “Lamb of God” — fulfilled in Jesus Christ — is a dominant theme. In this miniseries, discover how it’s biblical from beginning to end; from Genesis to Revelation.
