Welcome to another episode of EvangeliNation mini-retreats for your life. Who knows where our musings will take us? Tune in to find out.

We are at war. This has become clear in various subtle or not-so-subtle ways. For example, as a nation, we are battling for our lives via out-of-control health crises. We are also battling for personal integrity, and this battle for the perfection of human temperance comes into focus during Holy Week. If you are battling for your marriage or family, book a free strategy session by emailing Lisa at [email protected].

Today, as we celebrate the great feast of the conversion of Saint Paul, we take a look at the Parable of the Sower and the Seed, that enigmatic story of Jesus that promises an abundant life to those who hear it and are able to apply this wisdom in their day lives. So, what are you waiting for? Find out how to be rich soil that bears fruit--30, 60 or 100-fold!

What do you do when you pray and pray and it just seems that God is not listening or is not sending you the solution you so ardently desire? Let’s take a look at this universal human experience of (seemingly) unanswered prayer from a few different perspectives, always relying of course on sacred scripture, the inspired Word of God, and the historical events of salvation history that are recorded in the Bible. So, what do you do when you pray and it seems that your prayers are not being answered? This is the topic of our episode today.

In this episode, we explore the mystery of the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by John, and we do this with an eye to understanding what it all means for us in the modern world today. Here are some of the texts referenced in this episode: Mark 10:38 Matthew 28:19 Matthew 14, Mark 6, Luke 9, John 6 (miracle of loaves & fishes) Mark 15:39 (Centurion's profession of faith) Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) 1225 John 3:5

In this episode, we ring in the New Year with reflections on seemingly disparate topics, bringing it all together in a way that compels us to resolve to make better decisions in 2024 and gives us the clarity of a litmus test for making decisions.

In this episode, EvangeliNation returns to the airwaves in 2023 with a look at the theology of Blessed James Alberione, holy priest and founder of the Pauline Family of religious and secular institutes of consecrated life.  Alberione's theological thought forms the foundation of the whole life of a Pauline, and indeed, I would say of every Christian. Join me today as we begin to drink in the deep reflections of this insightful man's intellectual, spiritual, and moral life through a reading of his collection of notes called Abundantes divitiae gratiae suae, "the abundant riches of His grace."

Why EvangeliNation? Why now? Here are a few things to consider.

How do we evangelize the nation? This podcast outlines the blueprint for how we do just that.  Note that you can find the Catechism of the Catholic Church online here and sign up for a catechism course here. 

This is the first ever "double episode" produced in honor of the Easter Triduum. Come away on a fisherman's boat into the waters of sunny reflections. At the time of this recording, Holy Week has begun for Christians all over the world. So, today, we are talking about the 12 Apostles that gathered around Jesus for His Last Supper, the Passover ("Seder") meal that He shared with His Apostles before He laid down His life for His friends . . . and for all of us in a mystical reality that is no less pertinent and profound today than it was back then. Isn't that an extraordinary thing to say?  The meal He shared with His friends was like everything else He did: it had long-lasting phenomenal consequences for the whole world. Who can comprehend the mystery and beauty of even one moment like that shared with the God-Man, Jesus Christ? If we could get even just a little taste of it, I think it would change who we are today forever. I guess that is the aim of this episode. Enjoy.  May you have a holy and blessed Pesach / Pascha / Pascua / Easter Triduum.

The Great Chastisement is coming (cf. Matthew 24). That is not a sensational statement but a fact attested to by many prophetic people and events, one of which is the stigmata-bearing witness of Antonio Ruffini (not the subject of this podcast) and among so many others, one Barnabas Nwoye, a teenager who received "the greatest devotion of all time" from Jesus for the conversion of the world. This happened in Olo, Enugu State, Nigeria. This podcast addresses one aspect of this great Devotion to the Most Precious Blood, and it is the reception of the Seal of the Living God in the context of 5 months of weekly "Gethsemane Hour" devotions entered into from 11:00 p.m. Thursday to 3:00 a.m. Friday of each week.  Push play to learn more and get a copy of the book here.  If you are so led, please support our ministry to bring the Word to the world.
