Continuing on the heels of the previous episode, where Dennis and Christine presented the Eucharist as the supreme and most intimate encounter of God's love that we can experience this side of heaven, they now break open the Mass from the perspective of God's love and how God is loving us through the various parts of the Mass. In this, the first of…

We all desire to be loved perfectly for who we are, and yet it's the love of another that transforms us and inspires us to be more than we are or that we think we can be for love of them. This transforming love that we yearn to experience finds its ultimate fulfillment in God, and it's through the Eucharist that we come to experience thee most inti…

Who in your life, past or present, is in need of your forgiveness? Who in your life have you trespassed against and need to seek forgiveness from? Forgiveness is hard, but holding on to our hurts and the wrong done to us by another enslaves us to those trespasses and creates a hardness of heart that actually prevents us from experiencing the mercy …

The Holy Spirit is a mighty advocate, helper, and guide in achieving the goal of becoming the saint God created each of us to be, but who is the Holy Spirit and how can we relate to Him? Often referred to as the "Forgotten Person of the Blessed Trinity," the Holy Spirit can seem somewhat nebulous and abstract in comparison to the Father and the Son…

Those who claim to be spiritual but not religious are one of the fastest growing "religions" in America and across the world, but can one truly be spiritual without being religious?

As we enjoy the beauty of the month of May, a month traditionally devoted to honor Mary, Christine and Dennis delve into how we, as Catholics, truly honor Mary. We explore the meaning behind some of the doctrines and beliefs about Mary, and delve into four unique but relatively unfamiliar titles of Mary using meditations based on the writings of St…

Suffering is real. Evil is real. Yet, how do we reconcile the existence of both with a God whose very nature is Love? How can an all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-benevolent God allow suffering and evil to exist? These age-old questions are challenging because the existence of evil and suffering is used to disprove the existence of God or at the v…

The Bible is many things to many people, and how we understand the Bible impacts everything we claim to be true in our faith and in revelation. It even influences our relationship with God! So, ensuring that we have a solid understanding of what the Bible is and is not, and of how we can be certain that what it contains is true and accurate is of p…

The Resurrection event is the culmination of God's story of salvation, but this wasn't the first time God saved his people. The Exodus event and the Passover have deep ties to the Eucharist and the Resurrection, and they prefigure God's saving action through the Cross, but what does this have to do with us today? In this episode we talk about the n…

In our last episode we had a little fun discrediting some of the alternative theories that try to explain away the resurrection of Jesus as a lie, legend, or hoax. Now, we delve into the truth of the Resurrection and its implications for how we are to live as disciples of Christ Jesus! The Resurrection allows us to live in hope, but what do we mean…

Jesus rose from the dead! The tomb is empty! Alleluia! This is the central claim of Christianity and without it Christianity is a lie. Yet, rumors that Jesus never resurrected from the dead have abounded for millennia, and they have intensified during our time where secularism tries to explain away the miraculous and relativism reduces faith to an …

Have you got something you wanna say to God but aren't sure how to say it? Is it really possible to “pray without ceasing” as Paul urges? What are differe…

God is always calling us, but often times we fail to pick up the phone. Tuning into God's presence in our lives is a real challenge, especially with all of today's distractions and busyness. We all try to pray in one way or another, but if we’re being honest, we’d all admit that we struggle with prayer. Finding the time, fighting distractions, and …

Go big or go home! In this, our first content episode, we tackle the very identity of God, who reveals himself as Love. What does it mean to say that God is Love, and why does it even matter?
