Why dig up the past? If it’s history…shouldn’t we forget about it and just move on? Actually, remembering and studying our past…especially when it comes to the Church…is the best way NOT to repeat our failures! Join us in the Luxurious Corner Booth as we welcome our guest, Matthew Bunson, the Faculty Chair of Catholic Distance University. Matthew, a teacher, speaker, apologist, correspondent, author and evangelist, helps us to see the importance of keeping one eye on the past and one eye on the future when it comes to our faith.
Why We Need Two Testaments
Did you ever wonder why there are two Testaments in the Holy Bible? Why do we need both? Shouldn’t the New Testament have totally replaced the Old Testament? How can the Old Testament still be relevant to us today? So many questions…but we have the answers! Join us in the Luxurious Corner Booth as we welcome our guest, Dr. Pete Brown, Academic Dean of Catholic Distance University. Dr. Brown, a Scripture Scholar and expert in Biblical Languages walks us through the importance of reading the entirety of the Bible.
Following The Ancient Paths
Sometimes the best path to something new is one that was blazed first by ancient journeymen. That’s what happened to Durant Fleming, MDiv, DMin, a Presbyterian minister for 25 years who made his way into full communion with the Catholic Church. Join Deacon Jeff, Tom and Durant in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they discuss his journey home and his accompanying memoir, Following The Ancient Paths (available on Amazon).
Improve Your Mass Experience
Has Mass gotten a little stale for you? Are you “not getting anything out of Mass”? Do you wish you could do something about it? Well, you’re in luck! Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they offer 10 easy things that you can do to make the most out of your Mass experience.
Welcome The Stranger
Do we just assume that anyone who shows up at Mass already knows what it means to be Catholic? Do we really ever reach outside our property line to evangelize or do we wait for them to come to us? Does our parish have an easy “on-ramp” or introductory way to find out more about our faith? These are all good questions we should be asking ourselves as Christians. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they take on the topic of welcoming the stranger.
Armour Up
Are you ready for a battle? You can assured that Satan is ready…so we must be as well. And, there’s a lot at stake in this battle, because it is spiritual warfare. Our eternal salvation hangs in the balance! Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they answer an email from Audra, a 26 year-old listener who wants some help and direction in discerning her way through life.
Spiritual Direction
Do you have trouble asking for directions? Many of us do…especially when it comes to our spiritual life! In actuality, we really don’t mind asking a doctor, lawyer, banker or architect for advice and direction when it comes to decisions about our day to day life. But, when it comes to our eternal life…most of us don’t get much in the way of direction. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom as they discuss the concept of spiritual direction and how a little direction can keep us from getting lost on our faith journey.
Evangelizing The Issues
We all agree that we need to evangelize. In fact, in the Great Commission, Jesus commands us to do so. The problem is that when we encounter those with whom we are attempting to share the Good News, we inevitably get bogged down in the hot-button issues of the day. So what do we focus on? Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they discuss what (in their humble opinion) evangelization truly boils down to.
The Holy Ghost
Do you ever pray to the Holy Spirit? We certainly have no problem asking God the Father or God the Son for divine assistance…but, God the Holy Spirit? Most people can use the reassurance of the accompaniment of the Holy Ghost in their attempts to carry out the New Evangelization. Join Deacon Jeff and “sit-in sidekick” Bobby John as they discuss the Person of the Holy Spirit, his attributes and how they enhance and empower evangelization.
Brick Walls Of Evangelization
When you wake up in the morning to start your day, do you see a day filled with the opportunity to share the Gospel, or do you see nothing but a great big wall? Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they discuss the many obstacles of evangelizing and the way around (or through) them.
