Icons beautifully adorn our churches and homes. But make no mistake about it, their purpose is spiritual. Icons can be both windows into heaven—means of a spiritual encounter and dialogue. At the same time, they can be mirrors reflecting holy characteristics present in you. Listen to Richaél Lucero identify common features in iconography. You'll learn what icons can tell you about yourself.

Judy shares the reality of temptation and how Jesus himself was tempted in the very ways that we are still today.

This week Joe Heschmeyer returns to discuss his book  Pope Peter - Defending the Church's Most Distinctive Doctrine in a Time of Crisis. We take a deep dive look at the papacy and how we can defend it and church hierarchy as the truth. Get Joe's book here.

Callers choose the topics during Open Forum, peppering our guests with questions on every aspect of Catholic life and faith, the moral life, and even philosophical topics that touch on general religious belief. 

Questions Covered:

06:23 - When you are talking to non-Christians who find the Scriptures to be fictitious, how can we speak about our faith? 

19:05 - If Jesus established Peter as the cornerstone, why did there need to be more popes after him? 

24:04 - If someone were to commit suicide by taking pills that would not kill them immediately and then went to confession before dying, could they go to heaven? 

33:45 - I want to become Catholic. A friend told me that if I do become Catholic, I will be falling to the antichrist. How can I respond to him? 

45:40 - Why is Medjugorje never discussed? 

49:10 - What is the difference between the Catholic faith and the Christian faith? 

52:47 - Do any of the non-Catholic churches ever try to have their own saints? Is the Catholic Church the sole promulgator of sainthood?

Callers choose the topics during Open Forum, peppering our guests with questions on every aspect of Catholic life and faith, the moral life, and even philosophical topics that touch on general religious belief. 

Questions Covered:

03:37 – Is the particular judgement after we are sent to heaven or hell or before? 

07:27 - Are the sacraments like an extension of the Incarnation throughout time? 

12:00 - If someone were to be sacramentally married, die, and be brought back to life, would they have to be married again to their spouse?

19:35 - How careful do we have to be about not getting coronavirus? 

23:46 - My friend tells me he won’t believe in God because of the Crusades and the Inquisition. How can I respond to that?  

32:36 - Is it true that early Christians were barbaric and murderous, not even believing in the Sonship of Christ? A friend recently told me this. 

36:13 - My evangelical friend says that Catholics lie about who Mary’s parents were and that Jesus fell three times. They said those things are not in Scripture. How can I respond? 

45:42 - How can I help someone who feels overwhelming fear of hell and so goes to confession as often as possible? 

51:23 - How is the Eucharist an offering?

The Mass Readings for the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time deliver an important message - sometimes we have to speak out. Even if it means making enemies or encountering persecution, we have an obligation to speak the truth... BUT we must always remember to do it with love. Join Gary as he offers advice on knowing when to speak out and when to remain silent.

Sometimes we think of God as a judging Father.  Let's take delight in Him and watch the darkness turn to light in our lives.
