Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) What does it mean to have faith in a time of crisis? This episode explores the tension between traditional Catholic practice and the modern Church hierarchy. We discuss the SSPX’s 1988 consecrations and the difficult question of whether extraordinary measures are ever justified when the Faith appears threatened. We then turn to Scripture and the early Fathers to understand the importance of apostolic succession and the authority of bishops. We also consider the probl...

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Join us as we discuss the realities of the after-life.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) In this episode, we tackle a dozen urgent questions sparked by three major news stories: Sweden’s Catholic bishops issuing rare electoral guidance on abortion and euthanasia; the U.S. Supreme Court allowing a faith-based pregnancy center to challenge a donor subpoena; and Democratic strategists declaring abortion a “disqualifier” for Republicans in the 2026 midterms

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) In 2024 and 2025, many faithful Catholics pinned their hopes on a political movement—MAGA—believing it would restore a pro-life, pro-America, anti-globalist order. We thought we found a warrior. Instead, we got propaganda, compromise, and a crushing realization: you cannot Make America Great Again through politics alone

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Why should we live the devout life today? In this time of chaos—wars, confusion, spiritual warfare—your prayers can save the world. And your sins can lead it to ruin. But you don’t need to be a priest, religious, or someone who prays all day. True devotion is quiet, hidden, un-boastful. It’s offering a traffic jam, lifting your heart to God while washing dishes, saying a quick “Jesus, I trust in You” before a hard meeting. Saint Francis de Sales shows ordinary people...

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Interview with Deacon Kevin Cummings with Deacons of Hope

“And it was night.” Three simple words that mark the moment Judas left the presence of the Light of the World. But what exactly was “the hour of darkness” that Jesus spoke of? In this episode, we trace this theme through Scripture—from Judas’s betrayal, to Jesus declaring at Cana that his hour had not yet come, to the ultimate confrontation at Calvary. We examine the parallel hours of Jesus and Mary: his sacrifice on the cross, and her spiritual delivery of all humanity as her children. Plus, we...

What does your morning coffee have to do with the agony in the garden? More than you might think. In this episode, we dive into St. Ignatius of Loyola’s surprisingly practical—and countercultural—rules for eating. Why did Ignatius say we should never fast from bread? Is refusing to eat food prepared a certain way actually a form of gluttony? And yes, we tackle the great coffee question: should you give it up for Lent, or is it a legitimate aid to your vocation? We’ll explore how fasting, proper...

Today’s Topics: Who is Jesus the Nazarean, really? Not the distant icon, but the Man Who walked the earth? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the humanity of Christ. We walk through the six phases of His life—from the Incarnation to His Passion—and examine the radical humility of a God Who chose to be born in a manger because of the pride of a Roman emperor But meeting Jesus forces us to make a choice. We explore the classic meditation of the Two Standards: the tyranny of Lucifer, who ...

What would you say if an honorable king invited you to share his food, wear his clothing, and fight alongside him—promising that if you share in his labor, you will also share in his victory? In this episode, we dive into the Second Week of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, exploring the profound meditation on The Call of the Eternal King. We reflect on Christ not as a distant ruler, but as a King who suffers with us, invites us into intimate service, and asks only that we lend ...

https://rumble.com/embed/v73ch8s/?pub=84ufd Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Before we can understand the radical solution, we must confront the fundamental problem. In this foundational episode, we explore why the Beatitudes are not just a nice poem, but an essential prescription for the human heart We delve into the reality of our fallen nature—the internal impulses of pride, anger, and desire that war within us, and the external obstacles of a broken world that constantly lead us astray. Why do...

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) What is a Priest, and why does the Church call him a “spiritual father”? In a world where deception is the enemy’s greatest weapon, Christ did not leave us orphans. He established the priesthood as a gift of protection, truth, and guidance. This episode journeys from the personal analogy of inheritance to the shores of Galilee where Christ entrusted His flock to Peter, and finally into the profound sacramental mystery where a priest acts in persona Christi—in the pe...

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Ever leave Mass wondering what just happened—or why it happened? This isn’t a theology lecture. It’s a down-to-earth look at the “source and summit,” and why showing up is about way more than obligation. We break down the Mass as spiritual dry dock: where we get repaired, refueled, and re-launched into the world with a real mission. Because the point isn’t just to go to Mass. The point is to leave it

We connect the dots be...
