For 22 years of my life I went to Mass every Sunday and even daily Mass for a number of those years, but it didn't do anything for my spiritual life.  The Mass wasn't the problem, my disposition was the problem.  Listen to this episode to find out what totally changed it for me, and what I TRULY BELIEVE will change it for you and for the Church.

We dive into the story here today.  We hear about God's justice, God's mercy, the power and pattern of intercession, and always more on the incompatibility of evil with God's plan.

This episode dives into the nitty gritty of how God bides his time for the opportune moment to Give Abram and Sarai a son...which is not quick enough for them.  This is the story of their distrust, of Hagar's rise and fall and rise again, and the birth of Ishmael.  We conclude with the hopeful laughter of Jacob and the doubtful laughter of Sarah, who will give birth to a son named Jacob, which means laughter.

We dive into some of the great stories of Abram, of his sleazy sin, of his heroism for his nephew, for his generosity with God, and for the reception of the most important covenant.  The covenant that was established is a particular favorite theme for me because it gives us the context and language to understand the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross and helps us to enter into the New Covenant with joyful sobriety.

As a good father disciplines his children to keep them on the path of goodness, so we read how the Eternal Father disciplined Adam and Eve after their fall from original harmony.  We see great signs of hope here, that God did not curse them, but gave them a path of return to right relationship with God.

Here, we dive into the primordial sin of Adam and Eve.  There is some good stuff that offers us some insights into temptation, to why we like to be tempted, and the immediate result of that sin.
