"Your Faith Anew!"
Your Faith Anew! exists to help souls grow in their knowledge of the Catholic Faith, strive to remain in a state of grace, and encounter the transforming joy of the Gospel. Its mission is simple yet eternal: to save souls, glorify God, and become saints.
Hosted by David Russell, this daily reflection podcast draws deeply from Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the writings of the Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta—especially The Book of Heaven—guiding listeners into a deeper understanding of living in the Divine Will.
David is the author of four spiritually rich works: Magi Theology: The Essence of Illusion, The Little Magician – Discovers Bigger and Better, Our Pilgrimage with the Pilgrim Virgin, and his newest release, Our Mother in the Divine Will. With a lifelong fascination for the mystical, David discovered a profound connection between the art of illusion and deeper spiritual realities—an insight that inspired both his theological and children’s writings. His work Magi Theology received both the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur from the Diocese of Knoxville.
In 2010, David was introduced to the writings of Luisa Piccarreta, which deeply resonated with his own spiritual insights. This encounter helped shape the foundation of his ministry.
In 2017, he founded the Your Faith Anew! prayer and study group to help Catholics rediscover and fall in love with their Faith. At the heart of his message is this conviction:
“The Catholic Faith prepares us to receive the Gift of Living in the Divine Will—and this Gift enables us to live our Faith in a divine manner most pleasing to God.”
Join us daily as we seek not only to understand our Faith—but to live it fully, joyfully, and in union with the Divine Will.

Luisa writes:
“This morning my lovable Jesus came and transported me outside of myself, inside a church; then He disappeared and I was left alone.
Finding myself before the Most Holy Sacrament, I did my usual adoration, when I saw Him on the altar as a little child, calling me with His gracious hand.
Who can say my contentment? I flew to Him, and without thinking of anything else, I clasped Him in my arms and kissed Him.
But He assumed a serious appearance, showing that He did not like my kisses, and began to reject me.
Heedless of this, I continued and said to Him: ‘My pretty little one, the other day You wanted to pour Yourself out with me, with kisses and hugs, and I gave You all the freedom. Today I too want to pour myself out with You—please, give me the freedom to do it.’
But He continued to reject me, and seeing that I would not stop, He disappeared.
Who can say how mortified and concerned I was left as I found myself inside myself?
However, after a little while He came back, and as I wanted to ask Him for forgiveness for my impertinences, He forgave me by wanting to pour Himself out with me; and while kissing me, He told me:
‘Beloved of My Heart, My Divinity resides in you habitually, and just as you keep inventing new things to make Me delight with you, so I, to give you tit for tat, use new ways to make you delight with Me.’
With this I understood that it had been a joke that Jesus wanted to make.”
