Today's passage brings with it a quotation from Isaiah 40:3.  John the Baptists is a pivotal figure in the Gospels and all four align his ministry with this prophecy.

In today's passage we are introduced to John the Baptist who has a very in your face message.  Repent!  Jesus will come again.

"Olivia Newton John" cohosts an interesting episode that kicks off with some great news for the show balanced with Taylor bombing his last talk.

Taylor made a mistake coaching his football team and it made him remember some very gloomy Scripture passages...that eventually leads to quite a deal of laughter.

Finally, Taylor and Liv chat about how sometimes hearing things in a negative light actually make you understand them positively. Strange. Enjoy!

As we look at the Mass readings for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time, a comforting message emerges - It's not too late to turn your life around! Jesus comes to offer hope to the hopeless. Join Gary as he unpacks the Word and offers suggestions for putting it into practice!

It is always a time to serve one another, it was why Jesus came to earth.  Sometimes I think we forget that, so today is a small reminder for everyone!

Jonathan Roumie from The Chosen joins Scott Hahn to talk about what it’s like to play Jesus on TV, how his Catholic faith influences his work, and the role of Scripture in the show. On this episode of The Road to Emmaus, get an inside look at how God has worked in Jonathan’s life and through The Chosen.

What is Purgatory?

Relativism is confusing and wrong. How can we refute it?

Questions Covered: 

13:41 - My mother-in-law is agnostic. When I try to talk to her about the Catholic Church, she says things like, “All religions promote peace,” as if there are no differences among the different faiths. Is this relativism? How can I respond? 

20:37 - When the president uses relativism, how should faithful Catholics respond? Is it enough to support a president because they are pro-life, even though they use relativism in other areas? 

34:05 - Are you saying that you shouldn’t force your opinion on someone? 

43:48 - How can I respond to “I feel” arguments from relativists? 

48:00 - Can you give me some tips on how to respond to pro-choice people who say, “What if it was your daughter/you were in their situation…” etc.? 

51:44 - Do the ends ever justify the means?
