Salvation Isn’t a One-Time Event.. It’s a Lifelong Surrender.

I used to think salvation was simple: say a prayer, invite Jesus into your heart and you’re saved. No Church. No sacraments. No confession. Just faith. But the more I read Scripture, the more I realized.. salvation isn’t a checkbox. It’s a covenant.

In this episode of AfterMass, we dive into what salvation really means from a Catholic perspective.. not as a one-and-done moment, but as a daily decision to live in grace. We’ll unpack what Scripture says about faith and works, how the sacraments actually apply the saving power of Christ and why “once saved, always saved” falls short of the Gospel.

If you’ve ever wondered why Catholics talk about salvation as a journey, or if you’ve wrestled with the tension between grace and obedience, this episode is for you.

Most people who push back on Marian devotion aren’t trying to reject truth.. they’re trying to protect Jesus. They love Him. They just don’t understand how honoring Mary magnifies Him instead of replacing Him.

In this episode, I walk through the biblical, historical, and spiritual reasons why devotion to Mary isn’t optional or extra, it’s essential. We’ll look at her role as the New Eve, the Ark of the Covenant, and how her “yes” continues to echo through the life of every believer who chooses surrender over pride.

If you’ve ever wrestled with why Catholics honor Mary, this is the episode that finally makes it make sense.

Why I Came Home: 7 Reasons I Found Truth in the Catholic Church // Episode 3
Scripture and Tradition: Two Lungs of the Same Body

So many Christians believe the Bible alone is enough. But when you separate Scripture from Tradition, you lose the very context that gave Scripture life in the first place. In this episode, we dive into how the Catholic Church preserved, protected and passed down the fullness of truth through both Scripture and Sacred Tradition.. the two lungs of the same Body.

If you’ve ever wondered how Catholics can believe in things “not found in the Bible” this episode will change how you see the Church.

In this episode, we break down how the Catholic Church preserved, protected and proclaimed Scripture for centuries before a single page was ever bound together. We’ll walk through how the canon of Scripture was formed, the Councils of Hippo and Carthage, the truth about the so-called “extra books” and why “Bible-only” Christianity collapses without the Church that gave it the BibleIf you’ve ever wondered why Catholics believe in both Scripture and Tradition - this episode will make it click.

This week’s headlines have been heavy: Irina murdered on the subway. The assassination of Charlie Kirk. A shooting in Denver. The mass shooting at Annunciation School in Minnesota. These are not just stories.. they are lives, families, and communities forever changed.

In today’s episode, we face the hard question: how do Catholics respond to tragedy and violence in our world? Together we’ll talk about naming the darkness, the reality of sin and spiritual warfare, and how Christ calls us to radical love, even for our enemies. Prayer, fasting, witness, and action are not clichés, but the Catholic response to a broken world.
