GO REBUILD MY CHURCH- FOOD FOR THOUGHT

This week, Peter conducts a transformative interview with Brian Bibb, the Director of Mission and Discipleship for Men at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Indianapolis. Brian presents a framework for integrating mission and discipleship into the local community, a key issue in most Catholic parishes. Brian's parish gives all of us "food for thought."  The interview then discusses where discovering, developing, and deploying spiritual gifts, known as charisms, is vital to the overall plan of parish life. Brian explains why charisms play a vital role in the spiritual health of individuals, families, and parishes. This area of truth is new to most Catholic believers, but instruction is necessary to move forward and become Catholic disciples! This interview will be a great blessing to all listeners!

GO REBUILD MY CHURCH- Jesus Heals Us-Part II

This week, Peter and Leslie discuss the wonderful truth that Jesus came to save and heal us. In the book of Exodus, when the Israelites left Egypt, the Lord revealed His nature as the One who heals His people. Jesus, who came to bring redemption to the planet, did many signs and wonders, most of which were healing sickness and disease. First Corinthians 12 reveals, in Greek, that there are gifts (plural) of healings (plural). This means there are different areas in which Jesus heals us and several ways He heals us. In this broadcast, the Doanes explain how these blessings are still available to His people today. We learn this week that there is an easy and non-threatening four-step way to pray for those that need healing. As we step out to pray, the Lord can do amazing acts of healing, just as He has done throughout history. All of us are surrounded by those who need our love and availability to listen and take action. This broadcast will help us to do both!

GO REBUILD MY CHURCH: A Call to Intercession-Part III

In this last three-part series, Peter and Leslie discuss the call to rebuild and renew the ministry of intercession here in our American Catholic Church. Citing the High Priestly prayer of Jesus in John 17, examples from the Acts of the Apostles, and finally in the life of a famous saint, the Doanes believe that joining our Lord in heaven as committed intercessors, the Catholic faith can begin to address the issues of poor leadership, disunity, and persecution from the world system. Throughout salvation history, there have never been unique strategies or human willpower that have brought lasting results. Instead, it has been through intercession, both in heaven and on earth, that releases what Jesus told us to pray: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

GO REBUILD MY CHURCH: A Call to Intercession-Part II

Last week, Peter and Leslie began sharing the call to understand intercession and how this practice needs to be rebuilt into our Catholic culture. We have seen two great saints of the Old Testament, Abraham, and Moses, practice powerful intercession. This led to a discussion of the Person whom the Doanes referred to as the Great Intercessor, that is, Jesus Christ. This week, Peter and Leslie share the High Priestly Intercession of our Lord as recorded in John's Gospel, chapter 17. It is here that we can discover the Lord's heart revealed through intercession. This will lead us to know what priorities we should take up when interceding for others. In the last section of this program, the Doanes share practical tools on how we can grow in this most powerful ministry- intercession!

GO REBUILD MY CHURCH: A Call to Intercession-Part I

Last week, Peter and Leslie completed their short series concerning a goal to consider for the New Year. As Catholic disciples, they challenged us to discover, develop, and deploy our spiritual gifts! Through our Baptism and Confirmation, each of us has received spiritual gifts called charisms so that we may build up the Body of Christ. Through Leslie's pursuit of her gifts, she took a spiritual gifts inventory. To her surprise, she discovered that intercession was one of her chief gifts. She realized she had indeed been a "prayer warrior" for years. This led to the Doanes, beginning this week, sharing the call for us to understand intercession and how this practice needs to be rebuilt into our Catholic culture.
