Father Mike's Podcast

"The Baptism of Jesus reminds us of the importance of our own baptism. How do we allow our baptism to come to life as Jesus expects?"

"Peter recognizes that he is not worthy, but Jesus makes him so. He wants to do the same with us. Trust him and step out in faith. Do something for Jesus and be deliberate about it and you will see him working in you like he did in Peter."

"What do we really believe about the cross and why is that at the core of our beliefs? How should we approach the death of Jesus and what does it say about our God?"

"The most important feast day in the Catholic Church and we have an empty tomb? Well, yes. The empty tomb has a lot to offer us as we begin the Easter Season."

"Jesus was the Good Shepherd, but what specifically does that mean and where did it come from. The Old Testament roots tell us a lot about the New Testament context and what it means for us. In addition, Chaplain Emil Kapaun is a great example of how that is lived out. His story is included."

"The promises of Jesus project to the future but are also lived out in the present. The Book of Revelation and Jesus' own words bear this out."

"We all know the explanations and definitions of the Trinity, but there is more to the story. How can we know more about how God reveals himself and have it matter?"

"The Eucharist nourishes us, sustained us and transforms us. In addition, the four acts of the Eucharist tell us something about how we live it: by taking, blessing, breaking, and giving."

"We've heard it a million times. Jesus is the Messiah or Christ. What does that mean and how does it apply to Jesus in particular?"

"What is real spirituality and what does Jesus tell us practically with the parable of the Good Samaritan?"

"What is the real definition of faith? How do we live according to faith as God reveals it should be?"

"Jesus' teaching on etiquitte tells us something about how we are supposed to be acting towards others."

"What does it mean to be lost and how does Jesus restore the lost? What are they restored into?"

"Even crooks have something to teach us. Wouldn't it be great if Chistians would show the same inititive and energy that we see in the world. What would the world look like if we did?"

"Jesus speaks of faith to move trees and mountains, but what is that kind of faith anyway? Does he really expect us to believe that faith can be powerful and change things? How far will we go to allow God's power of faith to live in and through us?"
