Homily | October 3, 2026 | When God Does Not Explain (Episode 293)

Homily | October 2, 2026 | Your Guardian Angel’s Real Job (Episode 292)
We celebrate the memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels by clearing away childish myths and listening to what the Church actually teaches about angelic protection. We remember that a guardian angel’s mission is not comfort but holiness and heaven...
Homily | October 1, 2026 | If I Avoid Scripture I The Little Way (Episode 291)

Homily | September 30, 2026 | If I Avoid Scripture I Miss Real Christ (Episode 290)

Homily | September 28, 2026 | Loving God Beyond What God Gives (Episode 288)

Homily | September 27, 2026 | The Parable Of Two Sons And Real Obedience (Episode 287)

Homily | Español | September 27, 2026 | Choose Change (Episode 286)

Homily | September 26, 2026 | Remember Your Creator Today (Episode 285)

Homily | September 24, 2026 | Curiosity Isn’t Faith (Episode 283)

Homily | September 23, 2026 | Padre Pio And Real Change (Episode 282)
Padre Pio’s miracles draw crowds, but his real mission is bringing people back to Jesus Christ through prayer, the Eucharist, and confession. We wrestle with the difference between comfort and conversion, and we end with a direct question about...
Podcast | The Vineyard Parable And The Trap Of Comparison (Episode 280)

Homily | September 21, 2026 | How Jesus Sees The Person Behind The Past (Episode 279)

Homily | September 20, 2026 | The Vineyard Parable And The Trap Of Comparison (Episode 278)

Homily | September 19, 2026 | Planted, Not Lost (Episode 276)

Homily | September 18, 2026 | The Heartbeat Of Christianity (Episode 275)

Homily | September 17, 2026 | Grace From Head To Heart (Episode 274)

Homily | September 16, 2026 | Mercy After Failure (Episode 273)

Homily | September 13, 2026 | Forgiveness Is The Moment You Stop Counting (Episode 269)
