The Gospel story of the rich young man provides a multitude of reflection questions for us - do we cling too tightly to certain possessions? Are we in need of detachment from anything, in order for God to give us something greater? Do we pray for the gift of wisdom, or only for wealth, beauty, and power?

Fr. David Hust reflects on all these and more in this Sunday homily from St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in The Woodlands, TX.

Special Guest: Fr. David Hust.

Tony Meléndez is truly one-of-a-kind. Born without arms, he's traveled the world playing music and sharing his inspirational story. From the first moment he picked up a guitar, to the song he played for Pope John Paul II, to the music he'll be singing at our parish, his incredible gifts are on full display - including the gift of hope.

Tony joins Nate and Josh Blakesley for a great conversation about the life-changing surgery that brought him to America, what guitar trick opened a new world of possibilities, his unforgettable moment with Pope John Paul II in 1987, and how his life changed during the pandemic.

Listen now, and don't forget to grab a ticket for his concert on October 15th! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tony-melendez-at-st-anthonys-tickets-170477219954

Love is an overused word. It's used in movies, TV series, songs, social media and more. Fr. Jesse shares a Sunday homily to make it clear what love truly means, in the scope of God's love specifically, as well as diving into the four types of love, as explained by C. S. Lewis in his 1960 book, "The Four Loves."

From millstones to the fires of Gehenna, the readings this past weekend were clear - sin is bad, and hell is not fun. Fr. David Hust provides a Gospel reflection on what we need to avoid those, as well as why we need more priests to help draw others away from them too.

Just a hop and a skip away from Nate and Gomer's office is Saint Anthony of Padua Catholic School. Home to hundreds of incredible students, we're incredibly proud of our school, and extremely grateful for all the great educators and staff over there. This week on Beyond The Bulletin, we're joined by Veronica Tucker, the Principal of SAOPCS.

She's no ordinary Principal - in the midst of her fourth year as head honcho, more than half of her tenure has been marked by a pandemic. She's adopted a child from China. The first time she saw her college campus was the day she moved into her dorm.

Veronica sits down with Nate for a great look into what's going on over on the school side of the parish. Tune in!

If you're well-versed on penal substitutionary atonement, then you can probably sit this episode out. If not, then boy do we have the episode for you!

Our Director of Evangelization & Youth Ministry, Michael Gormley, rejoins Beyond the Bulletin to share about a particular theological topic he's been focused on: Atonement Theology. This topic covers some deep, persistent questions within our Catholic faith: Why did Jesus have die? Did his death pay some sort of ransom? For what did His death on the cross atone for?

Buckle up for this episode, as Nate and Gomer dive into these questions and more, to help us all grow in our faith, and love of Jesus Christ. Tune in!

We are called to be more than just believers. We are called to be doers. And what we’re called to do, is take up our cross and follow Him.

When you picture the stereotypical "Church IT Guy", you probably imagine someone good with computers but not good with people. Kevin Johnson is not your typical IT guy - he's great with both, and then some!

Kevin joins Nate on this week's episode of Beyond the Bulletin and their conversation ventures far beyond networks and nodes. Kevin served in the Air Force and was on duty the day of 9/11/2001. He experienced a deep, personal loss in his life that radically changed his life. And he serves at the parish with an incredibly humble and Christ-like mentality that we can all benefit from imitating in our jobs and lives.

You're not going to be able to stop listening to this one, so tune in now!

Special Guest: Kevin Johnson.
