Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”

As Lent ushers in a time of reflection and renewal, we stand at the precipice of an epic confrontation - one that will determine the course of our spiritual and societal destiny. Join me, Jack Rigert, as we navigate the complexities of this battle, drawing upon the profound insights of Saint John Paul II to illuminate the stark contrast between the city of God and the city of man. Through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, we'll explore the urgency of divine intervention in our post-COVID world, and the vital importance of fortifying our spiritual armor.

The personal metamorphosis of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, from a Marxist to a Christian in the Siberian gulags, serves as a powerful testament to the individual's capability for change and the inherent struggle between good and evil within us all. This episode delves into the perils of ideologies that deny the truth of original sin and the critical role that the family and marriage play in the foundation of a robust society. We'll reflect on how John Paul II's teachings can empower us to confront these challenges, holding onto the promise of redemption through Christ's love.

This Lenten season, we're called to enter into a sacred romance with God, opening our hearts to the transformative power of trust and detachment as modeled by Jesus in the Gospels. And as we journey through these forty days, don't miss the inspiring story of Nancy Charles, whose powerful testimony of healing and conversion serves as a beacon of hope. Her encounter with the unconditional love of Jesus Christ reminds us that our faith is much more than managing sin—it's a path to profound transformation.

"The future of humanity passes by way of the family"--John Paul II.
