11:00 - What is remote cooperation? Can you really compare this vaccine to buying jeans or chips or something? 

18:29 - Should Catholics get the Vaccine for COVID-19? 

20:43 - Were old vaccines developed in a different way than the vaccines now? It seems like no one had any problem with getting a polio vaccine, for example. 

24:25 - What is the Church’s policy on abortion in cases of rape and incest? 

32:04 - I have heard that this COVID-19 vaccine can cause infertility and my husband, and I already struggle to have children. Is this true? Can I safely take the vaccine without affecting my fertility? 

36:04 - Does the COVID-19 vaccine use human embryos in its development? Is this vaccine going to be made mandatory?

Joy isn’t just a feeling—it’s something we have to fight for and decide to live out, just like the faith. But this means that joy is something everyone can attain! On this episode, Chris Stefanick returns to talk with Scott Hahn about four more rules for living joy and what it means to be joyful.

Our patron, St. Paul, isn’t any ordinary saint. He went from persecutor of the Church to her defender—and one of the most prolific writers of Holy Scripture. The Church calendar reflects St. Paul’s extraordinary mission by remembering the day of his miraculous conversion. On this bonus episode of The Road to Emmaus, Scott Hahn discusses St. Paul’s influence on his own conversion and on the Church.

A global pandemic and a tumultuous political climate have made it difficult to remember what matters most—Jesus and our relationship with Him.  How can we look past our worldly trials to the divine reality that Jesus is Lord of all? Chris Stefanick joins Scott Hahn on this episode to share a couple rules to help us find a joy that is everlasting and unshakable.

Have you ever wondered about the meaning of some of the titles for Mary? Author, apologist, and speaker Steve Ray joins us today to discuss some of these titles. We discuss the titles Mother of God, Queen of Heaven, Seat of Wisdom, and New Eve. There are many more and we will do future shows about it.

Steve also did a talk in Ephesus about Mary that you can watch at https://youtu.be/1CHTZL4m014.

Seemingly insignificant issues, left unchecked, can develop into substantial problems. So, when confronted with bad behavior or unethical decisions, do you speak up or keep quiet?

We're on week three of the series on salvation history. This week's Old Testament figure, Noah. And there's more to his story than a cute children's tale. It's a story that puts the rumors of a mean, angry, and eager to smite God to bed. Through Noah, God redeems and renews the covenant Adam broken. Listen as Richaél Lucero reveals the details. And! how that reflects on your relationship with God. Plus we do a deep dive into the difference between covenants and contracts.

Throughout the series Richaél Lucero will examine one of the six key figures, the covenant they made with God and its meaning.

These past two weeks I have spent from 3 to 5 hours most evenings or early mornings sitting beside a dear sister-friend who was making her last great ascent. That final walk. The ultimate journey. The loving return.

Each breath of hers was precious and on that last night before she died God helped me to realize that in the end, really, that is all we have…our breath…our current breath. We are not promised our next breath. We already have kissed the last breath goodbye. We cannot cling to it, as we cannot hold onto the past.

And even that breath is a gift. A gift of total gratuitously glorious love from a divine Lover who is supporting us in his arms even as we breath.

On that last ascent, it will not matter what we have created or achieved or known or acquired. The fact that I have written a book, or started a company, or sold an astounding number of widgets, or even loved will not be mine as a monument to me..

I will have only this breath that is a gift to me right now at this moment.
