Questions Covered:

 

16:05 - My daughter is troubled by Catholic teaching on sexual morality. She claims to be pansexual. How can I speak with her about this? 

24:50 - I struggle to understand how Mary could be the Mother of God. Can you explain it to me? 

28:31 - I struggle to understand how Mary could be the Mother of God. Can you explain it to me? – Send Behold Your Mother 

34:00 - Can you clarify what it means to be made “in the image and likeness of God”? Does this mean that God the Father looks like a human being? 

40:23 - I don’t understand how the Trinity is 3 people. Also, why would Jesus pray to the Father, to himself? 

45:02 - I am troubled by the doctrine of apostolic tradition being passed down infallibly.

Christian persecution is something that is widely ignored in the west. Gia Chacon comes on the program today to help bring the plight of our brothers and sisters in Christ to the forefront. She is the President and founder of For The Martyrs, which is an organization that strives to bring awareness and support to the persecuted.

 

Supporting the persecuted is something we must all do and please remember to pray for them and support them in other ways if you are able. Check out forthemartyrs.com to learn more about what Gia and her organization are doing to support the persecuted.

In today's passage we read about a spicy interaction between John the Baptist and the Sadducees and Pharisees.  John tells them to repent and calls them snakes because they teach one thing and do another.

Judy shares the benefits of Godly sorrow that leads to repentance which leads to salvation. God is always wanting to lead us back to him to redeem and restore us. When we get stuck in regret we relive all that we wish we did or didn’t do.

Is there a difference between teaching the Faith to kids and explaining it to adults? Yes. But you can use the same blueprint to teach and explain Catholicism no matter your audience or topic. Listen as Richaél Lucero explains the five steps of the Ecclesial Method and how to use them. You'll be able to apply it to every situation—from formal lesson plans to casual conversations.
