Advertise on podcast: Truth Still Matters (From the Heart of a Catholic)

Truth Still Matters is back with another episode focused on being opened to the Word of the Lord in the present moment! This show is taken from a talk I gave at Awaken Ministries where the mission is cultivating an experiential encounter with Jesus Christ. The night was filled praise and worship, which included singing and Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. What a glorious evening!!!! Thank you to St. Kieran and Awaken Ministries for a beautiful experience.

Holidays are an excellent time to pray, regroup, reflect and spend time with loved ones. They can also be a very trying time for people who have lost loved ones. This episode of Truth Still Matters takes a look at how God allows pain in our lives and stays with us through it all. He is Emmanuel, God with us.

The Blessed Virgin Mary is a game changer in the spiritual life! As Cristians, we benefit from spiritual gifts given to us personally as well from the gifts given to others. Catholics make a big deal about Mary because of the great things God has done for Mary. But here’s the thing….God did wonderful things for Mary and then turned around and gave Mary to us!!!! You and I can benefit from all gifts given uniquely to Mary because Mary has been given to us!!! Mary is not in competition with Jesus but is His gift to us!!! Please watch to discover how the world has met and continues to meet Jesus!

Can Christians believe in Santa?? What is more truthful between the idea of parents providing for their children vs. Santa? Our faith provides an insight into these questions that must captured and passed on. No one is called to be an “adult” of God but a child!!! As Catholic Christians, a sense of “awe” of God must preserved and sought after. This episode of Truth Still Matters was captured a couple of years ago and is being share this Christmas so that we might be encouraged to seek after the unexpected from God.

It has been awhile but Truth Still Matters is back! I did not stop teaching, no way!!! Actually, I’ve been teaching at a few different places which has taken up a lot of time. I was able to capture some of this teaching, and now I would like to show various excerpts on Truth Still Matters. The 42nd episode of TSM takes us into one of my theology classes where we were studying salvation history. The love that the Trinity has for us is unfathomable. Please enjoy and share!

The “Rapture” is commonly believed in many Christian communities. Emotions of excitement and fear swirl around this commonly accepted doctrine, but does Jesus teach this? As Christians, we want to be faithful to what Jesus institutes and teaches. Please watch this episode of Truth Still Matters to discover what Jesus teaches about the Rapture as revealed in His Holy Catholic Church.

Living for Christ on a college campus is no small task. By God’s grace, I received an opportunity to reconnect with a couple of my former students who are now in college. They share their experience of living for the Lord in the midst of a world railing against God. Please watch to experience the informal conversation we had, plus experience their gift of music.

In its two-thousand-year history, the Catholic Church remains an unchanging yet developing entity. Since the church’s infancy, Catholic theologians have referenced the “deposit of faith,” which in early years referred to the written or orally revealed doctrines that formed the backbone of church teaching. Through the centuries, the definition came to be understood as the word of God, delivered through Jesus Christ and passed on to his apostles. Still, the deposit included both oral and written traditions and provided moral direction. The Second Vatican Council brought about many changes in the church, and once again, bishops and theologians addressed the deposit of faith. This invaluable concept came to be seen, not as mere dogma, but the expression of faith embodied in the words and deeds of Christ. The deposit is relevant to all elements of Catholic life: prayer, sacraments, and moral living. While the deposit has always addressed divine revelation, the post-Vatican II definition directs the faithful to think holistically. Hubert M. Sanders Jr.’s Deposit of Faith is intricate Catholic theology for the lay reader. It encourages Catholics to reach beyond dogma and written instructions to embrace the fullness of the Christian experience in all aspects of life.

The world will never be happy until one thing is realized. We have an insatiable desire that we try to fill with relationships, resources, and power. All of these fall immeasurable short, yet we still try these things while ignoring the one reality that will satisfy. What do we need to realize? How do we stay up in a down world? Watch the show for the answer!
