In this podcast Tony reminisces about the super heroes of yesteryear and how they remained humble and grateful to do God’s work. We explore what has changed today.

Scripture:“[But] take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them;otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father. When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.  Matthew 6:1-4

Quotes:Forget about applause, honors, or awards. Do great things simply because it’s the right thing to do! –Tony Agnesi

Reflection:What can we learn from the code of conduct of the old 1950’s superheroes like The Lone Ranger?

Matthew is a therapist and a D&D dungeon master, but most of all he has survived his youthful wanderings and is a faithful Catholic. He shares how richness of tradition kept him home and how we can help today's youth stay on the straight and the narrow. You can find his writings on psychology and theology on his blog, Vespers in Vienna.

Delve beneath the surface on what it means to be eternally begotten and consubstantial; and the difference between being and person.

Scripture can be difficult to interpret and understand, so Jimmy Akin is here to help. Callers are welcome with any question on Sacred Scripture.

Questions Covered:

02:30 - Where does the Church stand on the documentary hypothesis?  

11:09 - If natural law is accepted by the Church, is it a part of Scripture or tradition? 

18:51 - What is theosis? 

29:57 - How was the book of Esther divided into a, b, and c sections in my Bible? I use the NAB. 

39:50 - In the Bible, Jesus gave us both his Body and Blood at the Last Supper. Why is it acceptable to only receive the Body? 

45:40 - Why are there statements in the Bible that seem to contradict each other or seem incorrect? How is the Bible inerrant with this being the case? 

52:43 - The flaw that I find with documentary theory is what the Jews were doing up until about 700 AD. They were desperately trying to document their oral traditions. There is a section of the Talmud that discusses Jesus’ trial. Different writers contribute to this section of the Talmud, trying to justify some of the things that happened. Do you agree with my assessment?

Scripture can be difficult to interpret and understand, so Jimmy Akin is here to help. Callers are welcome with any question on Sacred Scripture.

Questions Covered:

 

05:58 - When Jesus says to turn our cheek, are we meant to understand this as humility or being passive aggressive? 

14:37 - Is the King James Bible acceptable to read as a Catholic? 

17:48 - Were Job and Jonah historical people or were they parables? 

21:14 - If Jesus celebrated Hanukkah and prayed the Shema, why don’t we do that today?  

29:00 - Is there biblical evidence for the teaching that the priest is in persona Christi? 

36:12 - Is there biblical evidence that tells us that angels are more intelligent than humans? 

43:27 - What does it mean that the meek will inherit the earth and why would they want to? 

46:10 - When Jesus came into the apostles and broke the bread after the experience on the road to Emmaus, then disappeared, was this him teaching us that he is present in the Eucharist even though we can’t see him? 

50:03 - Does the Bible mention anywhere the intercession of the saints and Mother Mary?

On this week's show, we examine the role of faith-based organizations during times of crisis and beyond with Josh Holdenried of the Napa Legal Institute.

He holds a B.A. in Public Policy Leadership from the University of Mississippi and a Certificate in Applied Religion in Public Policy from Pepperdine University’s School of Public Policy.

About Napa Legal Institute

Napa Legal Institute (NLI) was launched in 2019 to empower evangelization through corporate education and legal resources for faith-based nonprofits aligned with the Catholic faith. The founders of NLI realized that, as the legal environment increases in complexity, spiritual entrepreneurs will need specific education and timely resources so they may exercise their religious liberty without fear of transgressing the law. This requires a better knowledge of taxes, corporate structures, and a tangle of local, state, and federal labor laws and regulations.
