Deep in Scripture Radio

In part 2 of our special 2-part series on Keeping Our Kids Catholic, Marcus and his son JonMarc Grodi continue to unpack 7 practical things that parents can do to help give their children a solid foundation in the Church that will last them a lifetime. How do we not only help our children who have strayed from their Catholic faith return to the Church, but also create a family environment where faith is instilled in such a way that our children never leave it behind in the first place?

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." -Proverbs 22:6

One of the most common concerns our members raise with us at The Coming Home Network is the question of not only how to help our children who have strayed from their Catholic faith return to the Church, but how to create a family environment where faith is instilled in such a way that our children never leave it behind in the first place. In this episode, Marcus and his son JonMarc Grodi begin to unpack 7 practical things that parents can do to help give their children a solid foundation in the Church that will last them a lifetime.

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." -Proverbs 22:6 

Fresh off their recent pilgrimage to Italy, and with the recent canonization of St. John Henry Cardinal Newman, Marcus Grodi and Ken Hensley reflect on the mystery of grace, and why some people respond, and some don't. Looking at the particular case of the Rich Young Ruler, which appears in three Gospels, they unpack the question of how Jesus challenges us all in ways unique to our specific state of life, and the urgent need to respond to God's grace.

God is in control, even if we can't see it. God will redeem all of our troubles and trials, even if it's hard for us to conceive at the moment. On the latest Deep in Scripture episode, Marcus Grodi and Seth Paine look at a couple of passages from the writings of St. Paul that remind us that Jesus Christ is the Lord of our history, our present, and our future, and that if we truly rely on him, we will find the peace that we long for.

"And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:7

"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." -I Thessalonians 4:16-17
