#467 Jesus Christ Draws More Truth Seekers To Himself; While Joe Biden and Pope Francis Sow Confusion
Episode 467
lundi 4 mars 2024 • Duration 50:53
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”
As evil continues to accelerate to insane levels in our Country, and in our beloved Church, it can become overwhelming. Yet just at this point you also begin to notice the increasing number of truth seekers, using their God-given reason to guide them, beginning to be drawn to Jesus Christ!
Jesus answered and said..."Now is the time of judgement on this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. and when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself" (John 12:30-32).
This episode ventures deep into the heart of the final confrontation prophesied by Sister Lucia of Fatima, unveiling the nature of an "anti-creation" that seeks to dismantle the divine order. We stand at the precipice, urging the faithful to hold steadfast in their convictions in the face of relentless opposition and societal upheaval.
In a world where deception often masquerades as truth, we celebrate the power of genuine faith and the redemptive power of Jesus Christ. This episode doesn't just analyze the clash between truth and lies – it's a rallying call to allow your own heart to be transformed and then to "Go out"... for active community engagement and the transformative power of living out the virtues inspired by the crucified and risen Christ. Join us as the culture needs voices like yours to champion the cause of truth and love.

#464 Saint Teresa Benedicta said, "Love people in the Truth, Speak the Truth in Love; One without the other becomes a destructive lie!
Episode 464
vendredi 23 février 2024 • Duration 31:32
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”
Marriage, the family and especially the lives of children are being destroyed by the destructive lies of modern ideologies.
John Paul II gave a beautiful tribute in a homily for the Canonization of Edith Stein on October 11, 1998. Canonized Saint Teresa of Benedicta of the cross, Edith Stein was a Jewish philosopher, convert to the Catholic faith, Carmelite nun and died a martyr at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Before she was executed by the Nazi's see said to all of us: "Do not accept anything as the truth if it lacks love. and do not accept anything as love which lacks the truth! One without the other becomes a destructive lie."

#462 The Sacred Romance: Embracing the Sacred in Nature, Love, Beauty and Longing
Episode 462
lundi 19 février 2024 • Duration 32:42
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”
As I sat in the heart of Anchorage, Alaska, surrounded by the whisper of trees and the embrace of the open sky, I found myself pondering the beauty that bridges our world with the divine. This episode brings you along on a spiritual odyssey, one that begins with an anecdote of a two-day women's retreat that I led, nestled amidst nature's grandeur. The narrative unfolds with a memory from high school, a moment that transcends mere physical attraction, leading to a revelation about the sacredness of human beauty. Through this story I invite you to consider how the 'small b beauty' of creation can open our eyes to the 'big B Beauty'—the presence of God in our lives.
There's an aching within each of us, a yearning for something more, something profound. We explore this universal longing for truth, goodness, and beauty, embracing these desires as intrinsic to our design.
