What do we do in the midst of chaos? How do we handle the daily anxiety that life tries to throw at us on so many different levels? This week, Jeff reminds us that even though life is hard and sometimes we can’t figure it out, the Word of God has the answers to help us walk the path of wisdom.

Snippet from the Show
Jesus is in this with us, and if you’ll hold on to him and go deep into his Word, he will show some real, true grit in your life.

Elections & The Power of the Church Nov 11, 2022

Show notes

Is it possible that we give too much credence to politics and our political leaders? In today’s episode, Jeff helps us as Catholic Christians to navigate through the election outcomes. We might be willing to engage in a political debate with our cousin or with our sister or someone at work. But how many Catholics are willing to bring up the Good News of the Gospel and share it with their opponent?

Snippet from the Show
We do not hand off our responsibility to be the agent of change to the politicians in our country. If the Gospel is the thing that changes hearts and we will not share that, guess what? Game over.

The List of Things to Forgive Nov 04, 2022

Show notes

“Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” We don't need to bring unforgiveness into the holiday season. In today's episode Jeff draws attention to the areas of life where forgiveness may be necessary, and encourages us to allow the forgiveness of God to begin healing these wounds.

Snippet from the Show
Once we have begun healing through forgiving, releasing, and confessing, we must stay on top of it: Don't nurse it, don't curse it, and don't rehearse it.

In this second part of this mini-series we learn about the final pieces of our God-issued battle attire: the shoes of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit.
