How Demonic Shackles were Destroyed by CHRIST

Friends, we just marked the 60th anniversary of the opening of Vatican II, the Second Vatican Council. Six decades later, can we say the Council was a success? A failure? Something in between? On today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt discuss a provocative pair of op-eds published in the New York Times by Ross Douthat, who argues that the Council was both necessary and a failure, and yet cannot be undone. A listener asks, if God is without form, then at the Transfiguration, what was Jesus transformed into?

WOF 369: Was Vatican II a Failure?

We are joined by a former white supremacist and now a devout Catholic man of letters, Joseph Pearce. We discuss his conversion to Catholicism from a life of hatred, G.K. Chesterton, and why men must read poetry. Joseph shares with us the intimate tie between poetry and prayer, he clarifies our thoughts on truth and beauty, and drives home how poetry identifies and assists in the completion of an authentic man. Please join us in this conversation."True perception comes with virtue, specifically the virtue of humility,it is humility that gives us a sense of gratitude,it is gratitude that opens the eyes to wonder,and it is only when the eyes are open to wonder that we are moved to contemplation,and it is only when we are moved to contemplation that the mind is open to dilation,and it is dilation which is the full opening of the mind to reality." - Joseph Pearce on The Catholic GentlemanJoseph Pearce is a premier literary biographer and author of our time, especially in reviewing the depths of the Catholic literary tradition. He is the author of acclaimed biographies of G.K. Chesterton, Oscar Wilde, Hilaire Belloc, and J.R.R. Tolkien, and books on English poetry and literature.He has hosted two 13-part television series about Shakespeare on EWTN, and has also written and presented documentaries on EWTN on the Catholicism of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. His verse drama, Death Comes for the War Poets, was performed off-Broadway to critical acclaim.Website - https://jpearce.coNew Book - Benedict XVI: Defender of the Faith - https://tanbooks.com/products/books/spiritual-warfare/virtue-vice/benedict-xvi-defender-of-the-faith-- SUPPORT THE CATHOLIC GENTLEMAN --https://www.patreon.com/catholicgentleman Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 184 - The Holy Catholic Church celebrates the Ascension of the Lord - May 12, 2024 - Mk 16:15-20

On today’s podcast, we’re talking about the mistaken idea that a personal relationship with God is a Protestant thing and not necessary for Catholics. Nothing could be further from the truth! Throughout the Gospels, Christ invites us to know Him, not just know about Him. Pope Benedict said, “Many people perceive Christianity as something institutional, rather than an encounter with Christ, which explains why they don’t see it as a source of joy.”

From the Sacraments to Scriptures, to songs and prayers, Catholicism creates opportunities for each and every one of us to experience the closeness and friendship of God. This is the “why” of our faith.

In this episode, we learn that:
- The Sacraments are the greatest examples of Christ’s desire to have a personal relationship with us.
- At its core, the connection to Jesus is one of love.
- Like any loving relationship, faith is forged with care and commitment.

Personal Relationship With Jesus: Is It Catholic?

Jesus says, “Stop judging and you will not be judged”, which means this: we love everyone but we always don’t love their actions, and we judge actions, we never judge people. Deacon Harold goes more into how we can overcome the betrayals in our life. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 41.

The Shroud of Turin

True Beauty: In this episode, we hear the story of Leah Darrow - a former reality TV model turned international Catholic speaker, life-coach, author, and podcaster. We discuss True Beauty and how the very notion of beauty has become distorted in our culture. We also discuss Leah’s work to help women reach their God-given potential through her initiatives Lux University and Power Made Perfect. -- About Leah DarrowLeah Darrow is an international Catholic speaker that dares her audience to live a life according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Before her debut on the reality TV show, America’s Next Top Model, and the subsequent years as a professional model in New York City, Leah earned a Bachelors in psychology from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. She is currently working towards her Masters in Theology at the Augustine Institute. Leah and her husband Rick Soldinie, live in St. Louis, welcomed their 1st child in August 2013 and rarely sleep anymore. Leah has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs regarding topics of faith and culture. She also addressed a United Nations panel discussion on behalf of international youth in July of 2011. Most recently overseas, Leah rallied an audience of 15,000 youth at the World Trade Center in Manila during her Real Love Revolution tour in the Philippines, and then here at home gave the keynote address for over 7,000 college students at the national FOCUS conference, SEEK2013 held in Walt Disney World. Leah speaks to people of all ages on topics of mercy, conversion, human dignity, modesty, and chastity. Leah is particularly inspired to share these ideas in light of Blessed John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, and do her small part in the call for a New Evangelization. -- Resources from Leah Darrow <a href="https://www.leahdarrow.com/powermadeperfect">https://www.leahdarrow.com/powermadeperfect</a> <a href="https://www.theluxuniversity.com/?r_done=1">https://www.theluxuniversity.com/?r_done=1</a> -- Check out this article!: <a href="https://stjosephshelf.com/reclaiming-halloween-as-a-catholic-celebration/">Reclaiming Halloween as a Catholic Celebration</a>-- Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David HajdukVisit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

Blessed Are the Merciful

The BeatiDudes proudly welcome a friend and sponsor, Scott Williams, from Catholic Concepts &amp; Sock Religious. Scott traveled to Texas from Indianapolis to bring his stories, puns, and dreams of great Catholic concepts to come. Scott is a ministry professional turned entrepreneur and the founder of the largest Catholic sock company in the world (probably). After working nearly a decade in full-time youth ministry, Scott turned a side hustle into a rapidly growing small business in a niche Catholic corner of the internet. If you asked Scott 10 years ago if he would be selling socks and other merchandise, he would have said you're crazy. The Dudes start the show by reflecting on how Scott Williams and Sock Religious came into our lives, and the puns ensue. Scott goes on to talk about the original story of launching a sock company and their incredible debut at the 2017 National Catholic Youth Conference. Scott judges the Dudes during Blessed are the Joke Makers as they take on the persona of “The One Upper” to answer the prompt, “what priests really want to talk about in their homilies.” The second segment starts with an amazing story of the bus Scott and his friends purchased in college for $1200 that was converted into a recreational vehicle for traveling to concerts, football games, and other activities together. This episode’s TBD Question – What would you create or build if money was not an object? Reverse Simpsons – The Dudes take turns pitching Scott on new product lines for Catholic Creatives and some of these ideas are worth exploring!Scott then wraps up the show by sharing the great news that starting in July of 2023, every sock produced by Sock Religious is American made in his factory in Indianapolis.

Send Them Out, TWO by TWO | Sock Religious Founder, Scott Williams | Episode #031

Sometimes life is easy and sometimes life comes at us like a ton of bricks, with obstacles we can't seem to overcome. Our perspective can get distorted because we are stuck in the moment. When this happens it's important to remember that God has a plan for you and it is not a short-term plan. He has an eternal vision. Meditate this week on the reality that God has an eternal vision for you. If we maintain an eternal perspective nothing will seem too big for us.

Eternal Vision

Whether we are leading a family or a business, all leaders have to do things they don’t want to do.  As soon as we assume the mantle of leadership we assume the mantle of facing things that could hurt us – that could take valuable time away, valuable resources away or even inflict pain at different levels of our life.  This means that leaders have to be brave.  St. Thomas Aquinas describes the virtue of bravery as fortitude and this third of the cardinal virtues is what we are focusing on today.

DGT Episode 194 - Fortitude - The Home Of The Brave - The Virtuous Leader Part 5

The Second Vatican Council called for a more active collaboration between the ordained and lay people.

Things the Bible Doesn't Tell You About The Christmas Story

In this episode of the Word on Fire Show we hear one of the world's great theologians unpack one of the richest texts in all of ancient scripture.

Deacon Larry Oney issues a Clarion call for spiritual revival. Deacon Oney emphasizes the urgent need for repentance and a deeper connection with God, as he believes the world is facing a profound crisis of faith. He challenges men to embrace a posture of humility, docility, anointing, power, authority, holiness, and freedom, in order to lead the charge for a Eucharistic and spiritual awakening. Deacon Oney's message is a rallying cry for deacons and all men to step up and be the spiritual leaders their communities need.

A Dram with Phillip Chavez

In the life of every leader there is the thought of doing great things.  There is the hope that what we do will really make an impact in the world.  We need to also see the importance of the ordinary and that God does his most extraordinary things when the leader is faithful to ordinary circumstances.  This is what St. Joseph shows us in his life.

The Need for Refuge

All of us want to be influential in our lives.  We want to be successful parents, great business leaders, powerful leaders in our community and we know that all of our influence flows from our actions and all of our actions flow from our intentions and desires.  But intentions are not good enough.  Great leaders know how to build on good intentions and make effective plans to really hit the mark.  Our Catholic faith shows us this in many ways and our faith can provide a priceless tool as we fight for vision.

DGT Episode 209 - Fighting For Vision - AUDEO Part 7

The world is crying; this cry manifests itself in despair, anxiety and fear.
Jesus founded the Church to answer this cry, but she is also crying.
We were born for this moment in history. No one is alive right now by chance. God is calling each of us into mission with hope and unshakable confidence in Him.

It’s common place to hear people say that things are happening today that have never happened before and that social tensions today are unique.  However true that statement might be it needs to be grounded in history.  In point of fact, the political tensions, the social tensions we suffer from today have roots as far back as the industrial era.  Encyclical “Rerum Novarum” by Pope Leo XIII addressed many of these tensions and by studying them we can gain jewels of wisdom for our approach today.

Most people dread conflict.  It’s a simple fact.  In the life of a leader, however, conflict is necessary.  As a matter of fact many leadership organizational models teach you to mine for conflict – try to find it out and flush it out.  But is this really the role that Christ wants us to play as Christians?  When can conflict be healthy?  When is it to be avoided at all costs?  What does Christ have to say about this?

DGT Episode 75 - Christ's Mission, Our Mission Part 9 - For The Fall And The Rising

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob talk about cheating at chess, the feast of St. Francis, and being “imitators” of other disciples and saints.

Philippians 3:12-21

The key that determines the success of every great endeavor is whether or not we actually do it.  Planning, scheming, dreaming, all of these things are fine but in the final analysis only doing a deed will get the deed done.  But getting things done is hard.  Things can arise that we did not plan energy can wane situations can change.  It’s a good thing that God is on our side and leading out of a place of faith helps you to bend and not break.

Love is not simply something God does. Love is what He is. In this chapter you will explore how Jesus’ ministry reveals this truth, and why some of the most common misconceptions about God are wrong.In this episode you will learn that ...■ Jesus’ revelation of agapē love as the summation of all the Law is also a revelation of the heart and core identity of God.■ To live out agapē love is to imitate God Himself.■ The most detailed illustration of God’s unconditionally loving nature might be found in Jesus’ Parable of the Prodigal Son.■ Though God’s love is extended to us unconditionally, we must want it enough to accept it, enter into it, and make it our own.■ Jesus illustrated how God’s unconditional love extends to everyone by seeking out the poor, the sick, and sinners.■ False conceptions of God are dangerous because they close us off to Him just when we need to reach out to Him the most.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

Morning Routine

Daily decisions have eternal ramifications…. Don't claim ignorance. This week Victor and John talk about the long-term effects of our current daily choices. We often seek what is best the most enjoyable for our temporal life, without discerning what is best for our souls. Complacency could quietly be the death of us because we often choose the easy way instead of investing in service. 

In this week’s episode John and Victor discuss: 
- The rich young man dining SCRUMPTIOUSLY
- Sins of Commission vs. Sins of Omission
- One drop of His blood… is it enough? 
- The importance of an Examen.

The Choices We Make Matter

Parts of the Old Testament depict God commanding the Israelites to massacre entire populations—every man, woman, child, and animal. How should Christians make sense of these passages? They seem to present God as angry, vindictive, and genocidal, contradicting the New Testament presentation of God as loving and merciful. That’s what Bishop Barron and Brandon Vogt discuss in today’s episode. A listener asks, what are your thoughts on Carl Jung? What do you agree with and disagree with?
