Questions Covered:

05:49 - I was opening an account at the bank and the lady helping me had a gold pentagram ring and told me that she is a witch. Before I knew this, I was having a physical reaction, like I was going to be sick. Could it be possible that I had a reaction to the presence of evil?

50:18 - I have a 15-year-old. We found out that she is sexually active. People have been recommending birth control, but I am hoping that’s not the answer. How can I discuss abstinence with her?

This week Father Jeffrey Kirby and I discuss the oldest prayer of our Catholic faith, the Our Father. We say it every week during Mass and multiple times during the rosary but have you ever stopped to consider what it means? We cover this and Father's latest book Thy Kingdom Come: Living the Lord's Prayer in Everyday Life. Get your copy here.

Herod realizes that he has been tricked by the Wise Men and goes into a rage.  He orders that every male child two years or younger be killed.

Joseph is told in a dream to flee with the family and go to Egypt.  This was logical as Egypt was home to a couple large Jewish colonies.

The wise men find Jesus and offer him gifts.  There is a lot of meaning in these gifts.  Gold was a gift for royalty, frankincense was used for priests, and myrrh was for anointing.  These give us big clues to the kingship, humanity, and divinity of Christ.

What is Marital Debt? What does St. Thomas Aquinas say about it – Let’s discuss

About our drink:

Redbreast 15 year

The nose on this pure pot still Irish whiskey is nutty with light spices, oak, and red apples. The taste is smooth with roasted almonds, figs, blackberries, oak, and dark chocolate notes. The finish has a hint of vanilla with hazelnut and charred oak notes. Outstanding!

Our topic:

That there is a marital debt to be paid

As the slave is in the power of his master, so is one spouse in the power of the other (1 Cor. 7:4). But a slave is bound by an obligation of precept to pay his master the debt of his service according to Rom. 13:7, Render … to all men their dues, tribute to whom tribute is due, etc. Therefore husband and wife are mutually bound to the payment of the marriage debt.[1]

-very first commandment in the bible “go, be fruitful and multiply”

Jon Blevins cohosts and shares about his lovely weekend with his wife celebrating their anniversary. Taylor yells at him for his actions, tries to take his man card and Jon responds by sharing a minor miracle story.

Taylor shares about the tree people who swarmed his home this week which perfectly leads to a discussion on how God interacts with aliens. Do they exist? Did Jesus save them? Is his name Todd?

Finally, Taylor shares how Jesus hurt a lot of people's feelings and Taylor follows in his footsteps.
