One of the defining features of the Christian moral and spiritual life is the supernatural virtue of hope. What is hope? What makes hope more than a mere superstition? How does hope help us live both individually and in community? Can hope have negative consequences, like motivating people to remain passive in the face of injustice? And what, if any, evangelical significance does hope have? Bishop Barron gives us five reasons why we should be hopeful in the new year. A listener asks how he can find the strength to pray again. 00:00 | Intro 01:14 | Bishop Barron’s 2024 highlights 02:47 | The Christian concept of hope 04:15 | Hope’s relationship to reason 05:12 | Hope’s practical value in life 06:24 | Distinguishing hope from faith 08:27 | Distinguishing hope from optimism 10:21 | Responding to critiques of hope 15:37 | Reason 1: Bible sales increase while “nones” appear to have peaked 19:53 | Reason 2: Woke ideology is losing its grip on the culture 23:27 | Reason 3: Protestants and Catholics have increased cooperation 25:36 | Reason 4: The public response to the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral 30:01 | Reason 5: The Church continues to grow 31:27 | Listener question 33:53 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Article on Bible sales: <a href= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" aria-label= "https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link= "">https://www.foxnews.com/media/bible-sales-surge-thanks-fresh-editions-new-buyers-looking-things-feel-more-solid-report-finds</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" aria-label= "Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

4 Reasons Why the Devil Hates the Blessed Virgin

The recent confrontation between a grinning young high school student and a Native American elder has led to much anger and vitriol, especially on social media. But as Bishop Barron suggests, it also exemplified the "scapegoating mechanism" described by philosopher René Girard. How do we avoid this scapegoating? How can we bring more light to the online world? Bishop Barron has some advice. A listener asks whether our memories will transfer to Heaven.

WOF 166: Scapegoating on Social Media

Does God exist? That is the question Catholic comedian and television host, Stephen Colbert, debated with his Late Show guest, the popular actor and outspoken atheist, Ricky Gervais. The YouTube video clip of the two men going "head to head on religion" has gone viral, quickly garnering over 2.5 million views. In this episode of The Word on Fire Show, Bishop Barron breaks down each segment of the discussion and offers helpful insights for everyone fascinated (or haunted) by questions about God. The listener question asks whether atheists or theists bear the burden of proof when it comes to these debates. Topics Discussed <ul> <li>0:17  - Introduction, Bishop Barron's trip to Georgia for a Pivotal Players promotion</li> <li>4:00 - Colbert to Gervais, "Why is there something rather than nothing?"</li> <li>7:36 - What is the difference between asking why the universe exists and h0w the universe exists?</li> <li>12:05 - Colbert to Gervais, "Do you believe in a prime mover?"</li> <li>14:05 - Gervais explains what he believes an agnostic atheist is.</li> <li>16:57 - Gervais to Colbert, "You deny one less God than I do"</li> <li>20:52 - Colbert to Gervais, "Do you ever have a feeling of great gratitude for existence?"</li> <li>25:47 - Gervais explains to Colbert that Science is repeatable and holy books are not.</li> <li>29:20 - Listener Question: Do atheists or theists bear the burden of proof during debates about the existence of God?</li> </ul> Bonus Resources <ul> <li>Videos <ul> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5ZOwNK6n9U">Ricky Gervais And Stephen Go Head-To-Head On Religion</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/atheism-and-philosophy/4611/"> Atheism and Philosophy </a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/stephen-hawking-and-atheism/154/"> Bishop Barron on Stephen Hawking and Atheism</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/stephen-fry-job-and-suffering/4671/"> Bishop Barron on Stephen Fry, Job, and Suffering</a></li> <li><a class="ytp-title-link yt-uix-sessionlink" href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/gods-existence-and-the-argument-from-desire/4583/" target="_blank" data-sessionlink="feature=player-title">Bishop Barron on God's Existence and The Argument from Desire</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>DVD's <ul> <li><a href= "http://pivotalplayers.wordonfire.org/">CATHOLICISM: The Pivotal Players</a> (Word On Fire)</li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/dvd/catholicism-series/1036/"> Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith</a> (Word On Fire)</li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/dvd/mystery-of-god/4775/">The Mystery of God</a> (Word On Fire)</li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/dvd/faith-clips/4421/">Faith Clips</a> (Word On Fire)</li> </ul> </li> <li> Articles   <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/playing-at-atheism/336/"> Playing at Atheism</a> (Bishop Barron)</li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/the-glory-of-god-is-a-human-being-fully-alive/320/"> The Glory of God is a Human Being 'Fully Alive'</a> (Bishop Barron)</li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/why-are-so-many-atheists-on-the-cnn-belief-blog/414/"> Bishop Barron on Atheists at the CNN Belief Blog </a> (Bishop Barron)</li> </ul> </li> <li>Books <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/book/the-priority-of-christ-toward-a-postliberal-catholicism/2366/"> The Priority of Christ</a> by Bishop Barron</li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/book/word-on-fire-proclaiming-the-power-of-christ/2367/"> Word On Fire: Proclaiming the Power of Christ</a>  by Bishop Barron</li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/book/catholicism-a-journey-to-the-heart-of-the-faith/2370/"> Catholicism </a>by Bishop Barron</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Study Program  <ul> <li><a href="http://mysteryofgod.com">The Mystery of God: Who God Is and Why He Matters</a> (Bishop Barron)</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Websites <ul> <li><a href="http://www.WordOnFire.org">Word On Fire</a> (Proclaiming Christ in the Culture)</li> </ul> </li> </ul> Find bonus links and resources for this episode at <a href= "http://wordonfireshow.com/">http://WordOnFireShow.com</a> and, again, be sure to submit your questions at <a href= "http://askbishopbarron.com/">http://As</a><a href= "http://askbishopbarron.com/">kBishopBarron</a>.

Alex Trevino is a strong Catholic husband, father, and businessman. He is also the founder and president of a film production company called Project Thirty-Six. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, Alex joins the Dudes by taking on the persona of a penny-pinching cheapskate to finish the prompt, “Next on Catholic radio, we will be talking about _______”Alex shares the details of his loving family, which includes four kids on Earth and one in Heaven after losing a baby during pregnancy just seven months earlier. This is Alex’s first time sharing the story of their loss publicly, and he beautifully expresses the sadness, healing, and recovery that is underway in his family. Alex never imagined that visiting a child’s gravesite would become a routine part of every Sunday. Alex encourages anyone facing grief to seek help, and the Dudes share more about resources that are available, including Red Bird Ministries.

What Conscience Is (And Isn't) And How to Form It w/ Dr. Matthew Levering

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel DevotionalWhere a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father Today we celebrate the manifestation of Our Lord in the great Feast of the Epiphany and recall how the Wise Men were absolutely awed by the Infant Jesus and how they thwarted the evil King Herod’s plans to kill Jesus.  We’ll reflect upon the call for every Catholic man to aspire to greatness as a man of Christ and the need to grow in the Virtue of Magnanimity. We’ll also consider the need for every Catholic man to seek the Virtue of Self-control so he can pursue the excellence of Sainthood.

About our drink:
Midnight Ritual
Fans of Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat Beer will be able to enjoy the iconic ale like never before:  as a whiskey. The collaboration with Iowa-based Foundry Distilling Co. turns nascent Unfiltered Wheat into 89 proof Midnight Ritual, an American malt whiskey.
Prior to fermentation, Unfiltered Wheat traveled by tanker from Boulevard’s Kansas City brewery to historic Valley Junction in West Des Moines, Iowa, home of Foundry Distilling Company. After distillation in Foundry’s towering column still and a slumber of more than two years in new 30-gallon #3 charred oak barrels, Midnight Ritual entices with notes of caramel, banana bread, and allspice.
About our gear:

About the Topic:
We take a unique reflection on the Incarnation with our guest, Dr. Ricahrd Meloche. We ask why Christ was born during the time period he was and what the significance of this. We look at Pope Benedict's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regensburg_lecture#:~:text=The%20Regensburg%20lecture%20or%20Regensburg,as%20a%20professor%20of%20theology." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Regensburg lecture</a> while enjoying a sip of whiskey and puffing on a pipe.
About The Alcuin Institute:
Officially launched on Oct. 7, 2018—the feast day of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary - the Alcuin Institute is an educational and cultural institute that oversees the formation of Catholic leaders and educators throughout the Diocese of Tulsa &amp; Eastern Oklahoma.
The Alcuin Institute for Catholic Culture seeks to cultivate in the Diocese of Tulsa &amp; Eastern Oklahoma forgotten, and often forbidden, realities—such as virtue, chivalry, valor, self-denial, a fondness for things of the past, and the real mirth found in friendship in order that truth, goodness, and beauty may prevail. In doing so we hope to become a bastion for authentic Catholic culture.

Technology, Power, Work, and Responsibility

Today Victor and I are talking about the process of waiting from a Christian perspective. Throughout the Bible, waiting has been a central theme.

What is all this waiting about? While we often see waiting as something annoying, we should be seeing it as an opportunity to better prepare ourselves for what we ultimately anticipate: the Second Coming of Christ.

In this episode we learn that:
 - Waiting is a gift given to us by God.
 - In the Bible, God uses periods of waiting to strengthen people’s wisdom so they can better accept His call.
 - Once we see our lives as a process of waiting for the Second Coming, we can focus on constant preparation for living in paradise with Him.

Episode 228 - Jesus awes Simon-Peter with a miraculous catch of fish - Sunday February 9, 2025 - Lk 5:1-11

This week Victor and John jump into one of the biggest realities of our Faith: The incarnation! “Sometimes we see Jesus as just our buddy in the clouds” and we forget that He made himself so small and humbled himself to partake in humanity. He is not just a little baby coming soon, he is the LIGHT OF THE WORLD!

In this episode, you will hear about:

- Walking in darkness vs. walking in the light. 
- Conversion is not a one-time experience, it is the rest of our life
- Accepting an invitation into Jesus’s family
- What does it actually mean that the Word became Flesh?

The good news is that we are able to achieve an integrated life with God and our primary vocation at the center. We can’t compartmentalize our business life (secondary vocation) and home life (primary vocation). We need unity of life so Jesus is Lord of all domains.

“Many persons come to God as Christians but not as leaders. Perhaps they travel by an easier road and are less hindered since they bear a lighter burden. In addition to the fact that I am a Christian and must give God an account of my life, I as a leader must give him an account of my stewardship as well.” Deacon Harold elaborates today as he helps us learn to shepherd the flock and we look at Soulful Psalm 23
