After a short break, Catholic Talks with Moses is back! In this heartfelt episode, we reflect on staying faithful in challenging times, trusting God, and finding hope even when life feels overwhelming. We talk about pressing events in our world, including the struggles many families face today, and the importance of lifting them up in prayer.

We also discuss the recent incident at Holy Innocents Catholic School in Long Beach, where the sacred Tabernacle was disturbed — a reminder of the reverence we must show for the Eucharist and the Mass, and the need to keep our faith strong no matter the circumstances. Through all of this, we reflect on the call to love one another as Christ commands us and the mission that guides this podcast: to grow closer to God together.

Additionally, I share personal updates and ask for your prayers as I attend a 3-day Confirmation retreat at the end of February, praying that both I and the students grow spiritually. And for those who have been following my journey, I’m excited to announce a new Spanish version of the podcast, Charlas Católicas con Moses, starting this March, where we’ll continue sharing the same reflections and lessons for all Spanish-speaking listeners.

🙏 Let’s continue walking together in faith, prayer, and love.

In this episode of Catholic Talks with Moses, we reflect on the Nativity of our Lord and the profound truth at the heart of Christmas — God is with us.

Using Luke 2:1–20 and Matthew 1:18–25, we walk through the birth of Jesus: His humble arrival in Bethlehem, the faith of Mary and Joseph, and the joy proclaimed to the shepherds. Through this sacred moment, we are reminded that God enters our world not in power or wealth, but in humility and love.

This episode invites us to slow down amid the busyness of the season and rediscover the meaning of Christmas — that Christ comes to dwell among us, to bring light into darkness, and to draw us closer to Him.

In this episode of Catholic Talks with Moses, we take a deeper look at the traditions and symbols of Advent and why they matter so much in our spiritual lives.

From the Advent wreath and candles to calendars and seasonal customs, we explore how these practices help prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ. Using Matthew 24:42–44 and Luke 21:36, we reflect on Jesus’ call to stay awake, be watchful, and live each day in readiness for Him.

This episode invites us to move beyond simply counting down the days until Christmas and instead understand Advent as a sacred season of hope, waiting, and renewal.

In this episode of Catholic Talks with Moses, we reflect on one of the most important moments in salvation history — the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel announced God’s plan to the Blessed Virgin Mary and she responded with her faithful yes.

Using Luke 1:26–38, we explore Mary’s humility, trust, and obedience, and how her response opened the door for Christ to enter the world. We then connect this powerful moment to Our Lady of Guadalupe, reflecting on her loving appearance to Saint Juan Diego in Mexico and her continued role as a mother who leads us closer to Jesus.

This episode invites us to reflect on Mary’s example and ask ourselves where God may be calling us to say yes in our own lives, especially during the Advent season.

During this Advent season, the Church invites us to slow down and reflect on God’s promises. In this episode of Catholic Talks with Moses, we explore the meaning of the Jesse Tree and how its symbols tell the story of salvation — from the Old Testament to the birth of Jesus Christ.

Using Scripture from Isaiah 11:1 and Romans 15:12, we reflect on how Jesus comes from the root of Jesse and fulfills God’s promises made throughout generations. The Jesse Tree reminds us that Advent is not just about waiting, but about remembering how faithfully God has worked through history to bring us our Savior.

As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, this episode invites you to see Advent as a journey of hope, trust, and expectation — leading us closer to Christ.

In this Thanksgiving week episode, Moses Amezcua explores what the Bible teaches about gratitude and how thanksgiving is meant to be lived every day — not just once a year. Moses reflects on thanksgiving as a Catholic virtue, the deep meaning of the Eucharist (Eucharisteo — “to give thanks”), and how every Mass is a true celebration of gratitude. He also shares personal insights, practical ways to grow in thankfulness, and encouragement for anyone struggling to find joy right now.

Join Moses as he invites you to pause, breathe, and thank God intentionally this week.
