What is sin? Are all sins created equal? In this episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Jack Garno and Dr. David Hajduk dive deep into the Catholic Church’s teaching on sin—original sin, mortal sin, venial sin, and the consequences of sin in Christian theology. We explore what the&nbsp;Bible&nbsp;says about sin, how&nbsp;moral theology&nbsp;helps us understand&nbsp;grave sin, and why the&nbsp;sacrament of reconciliation&nbsp;is essential to healing. You’ll hear insights on&nbsp;faith,&nbsp;penance, and the Church’s role in helping souls return to God. We also address the modern resistance to the idea of sin, especially regarding sexual morality, and whether the Church is "too obsessed" with sin. Can you receive&nbsp;communion&nbsp;if you're in a state of sin? Do you need a priest to be forgiven? This conversation unpacks timeless&nbsp;spiritual&nbsp;truths and sheds light on how&nbsp;Christianity,&nbsp;religion, and&nbsp;Catholic Church&nbsp;teaching still matter deeply in today's world.

Fatherhood with Dr. Edward Sri

By now any Christian who follows events in the world knows how important it is for us to act.  The news headlines are filled with reports of things that are happening and calls for us to get involved.  On the other hand Christians are equally convinced that we need to pray.  Prayer is a part of our spiritual tradition and something our Savior commanded us to do. Is there a connection between the two?  Is there really a value to prayer when so much of our brain space is taken up by issues, and confrontations, and worry about the future.  I think there is and I want to make a case for it.

74: Was Mary a virgin her entire life?

God is still working miracles in the world today. Many people today, even those who claim to be Christians, live their lives as what some call "practical atheists". To be a practical atheist means to believe in God but to live as though he doesn't exist.&nbsp;
We do this in a number of ways, from committing to live in sin to simply doubting in God's providence, grace, and mercy.&nbsp;
It is time we realize that Jesus is LIVING. And He wants us to follow Him. He said to the apostles that they would go on to do greater things than the what they had seen Him do, and He wants the same for us!
Graeson shares his conversion story along with many stories of healings and other miracles he has witnessed. It is time to rise up and LIVE life abundantly.&nbsp;

36.5: Can you tell me something about the angels? (A talk by Peter Kreeft)

The biggest mistake Catholic schools are making? Not being Catholic enough. Stephanie Saroki de Garcia, co-founder of Seton Education Partners, joins Deacon Charlie to discuss why Catholic schools must provide quality education&nbsp;and&nbsp;be unapologetically Catholic, why technology and lukewarm attitudes are undermining our children’s ability to learn and grow in the faith, and what we can do to reclaim authentic faith-based education.LINKS:<a href="https://www.setonpartners.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Seton Education Partners</a>Read more from Stephanie:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.setonpartners.org/latest/publications/philanthropy-roundtables-saving-americas-urban-catholic-schools-a-guide-for-donors/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Saving America’s Urban Catholic Schools: A Guide for Donors</a>

Summary
In this conversation, Nathan Crankfield explores the complexities of life, the illusion of equality, and the entitlement mindset prevalent in modern society. He discusses the moral implications of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and the tension between scientific advancements and faith. Nathan emphasizes the importance of understanding life as a gift rather than a right, and the challenges of maintaining moral consistency in the face of personal circumstances. He draws connections between entitlement, the teachings of Christianity, and the significance of the Eucharist in navigating these dilemmas.

The Wanderer: Healing from Addiction - with Dion DiMucci

Integrity and Respect. We almost always look at integrity and respect in regards to our relationship to others. We desire the people we know, and even the people we don't know who know of us, to determine that we are people of integrity and worthy of their respect and admiration.&nbsp;
But what about self-respect? Violating your own integrity is more damaging, in many ways, to your view of yourself than the view others have of you.&nbsp;
The world today tells you to always accept yourself as you are. That you are perfect and wonderful and there's no need to strive for anything, no need to change.&nbsp;
But you know that's bullshit. So today we are talking about the need to face your fears. We're talking about avoiding things that you hate, the things that make you dislike yourself. Creating a life worth of respect, especially self-respect, requires both saying yes to the things we ought to do and no to the things we shouldn't do.&nbsp;

Why Catholics Can't Reject Vatican II (Timothy Gordon) | Ep. 244

<h1>Sister Mary Michael joins us for a conversation on Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, 12 steps, and our Mission.</h1><h2>Summary: </h2>In this episode, we welcome back Sister Mary Michael, a seasoned Dominican Sister from the Saint Cecilia community in Nashville, to Oklahoma for a heartfelt conversation. With over 35 years as a religious sister, she shares her passion for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, her work with Franciscan University, and her unique ministry with men in recovery. At a recent men’s conference, she introduced the power of the 12 Steps—rooted in Alcoholics Anonymous but universally applicable—as a practical path to freedom from destructive habits, paired with insights from Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Sister Mary Michael’s warmth, humor, and wisdom shine as she encourages men to embrace their God-given mission and reorder their lives with grace.<h2>Key Topics: </h2>- Who She Is: A Dominican Sister with a doctorate in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Sister Mary Michael works with four-year-olds on Fridays, teaches at Franciscan University’s Catechetical Institute, and speaks at men’s conferences. - Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: A Montessori-inspired, Hebraic approach to children’s faith formation, rooted in the pedagogy of God and the Church’s heart. She’s written a book on it and sees it as a growing movement (highlighted in the 2020 Directory for Catechesis). - Men in Recovery: Inspired by landscaping help from men in recovery, she’s taken their stories on the road, blending the 12 Steps with Ignatian spirituality to address universal patterns of behavior—addictions big and small. - The 12 Steps: Sister explores their accessibility and power, starting with Step 1: admitting powerlessness over habits (e.g., anger, control, manipulation) and unmanageability in life. She connects this to grace and personal transformation. - Universal Application: From vanity to strong opinions, we’re all “recovering sinners.” The 12 Steps offer a fearless moral inventory (Step 4) and accountability (Step 5), helping anyone break free from vices. - Grace and Nature: The steps align with the Church’s heritage—practical like the 12 Steps or spiritual like Ignatius—showing how grace perfects our disordered nature. - Men’s Mission: She challenges men to reject Satan’s distortions, embrace their masculine genius, and take action to live out God’s purpose.<h2>Quotable Moments:</h2>- “Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori Hebraic approach—it’s how God brings people to Himself.” - “I’m powerless over this, and my life’s unmanageable—that’s a grace right there.” - “I’m not taking that drink of criticism or gossip—it’s a shot of vodka to my soul.” - “God’s got a beautiful mission for you, and Satan’s not gonna leave you alone—so it’s time to do something about it.” <h2>Resources Mentioned: </h2>- Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: Learn more about this movement online or through Sister’s book. - The 12 Steps: Google them—read through and reflect on what challenges you. - Ignatian Spirituality: Explore how it aligns with the 12 Steps for deeper growth. <h2>Closing Thoughts: </h2>Sister Mary Michael’s eclectic life—from teaching kids to guiding men—offers a fresh take on recovery and holiness. Her practical, grace-filled approach makes this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking freedom and purpose. Thanks for joining us, Sister—God bless!

Today Deacon Harold & Ace are sharing from the Beacon of Truth Playlist talking about the song "Could This Be Magic" by Barry Manilow. The purpose is not to over spiritualize songs but ones that have spoken to us and maybe you and what we can learn from them as we apply wisdom and truth to our faith. Also looking at Souful Psalm 106:6-11

Playlist Edition: Could this be Magic?

I’d like to share about the leadership of St. Paul.  This man’s incredible passion and drive changed the Church.  But like so many great men he had a past.  How did Paul deal with what he had done towards God and God’s people?  How did his past shape his future?  And what can we do when we realize that we too are guilty of doing wrong?  How does it affect our leadership?

At the tiny table, hosts Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome Evan Raugust, a 20-year-old Catholic YouTuber and strategist who has already built a reputation for helping channels grow with focus, clarity, and positivity.

Episode Highlights:
• Roots &amp; Relocation - Leaving the transient culture of Vegas for the Catholic vibrancy of Dallas.

YouTube Strategist Dropping Knowledge | Evan Raugust | Episode #255

This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?’ But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them, ‘Do you take offense at this?’ After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him. Deacon Harold dives into John 6:60-69 for more examination for Word of God Wednesday. Also looking at Soulful Psalm 114.

Eternal Life

John Henry Newman's spiritual autobiography, Apologia Pro Vita Sua, is widely recognized as a classic of religious literature. Chronicling his conversion from Anglicanism to Catholicism, it explores the arguments and discoveries that convinced the Anglican churchman to cross the Tiber.

WOF 154: Who was John Henry Newman? (Part 1 of 2)

Why Christianity? Only Jesus claims to be God.  Confucius, Buddha, Mohammed and others do not. As we reflect on the life of this noble priest, the reason becomes clear: Father Tolton was able to discern what many Catholics today who leave the Church fail to perceive and do not fully appreciate: that what the Catholic Church actually teaches is true, good and beautiful despite the hypocrisy and contradiction of Church members who do not actually live the faith they profess. Also Deacon Harold looks into Soulful Psalm 143
