Praying is essential in our relationship with God. Prayer is an essential disciple that we must develop if we want to evangelize and defend the faith.  In this episode I go over a couple ways to do this.  If you don't currently pray I challenge you to start with 5 minutes and move up from there.

In yesterday's episode I discussed some Bible translations that are good to use.  In today's episode I piggy back on that a little and discuss ways that we can consume scripture.  There are so many ways.  We can read the Mass readings, listen to the Mass readings, read the Liturgy of the Hours, or simply open up the scriptures.  If you are not reading scripture daily then I have a challenge for you.  Find 5 minutes in your day.  We can all easily find 5 minutes to deepen our relationship with our Lord.

In this episode I discuss some Bible translations that are approved for private use and liturgy.  If you have any other suggestions I would like to know.  I encourage you to find a translation that you will read daily.  Being immersed in scripture is paramount to defending the faith.

Part of defending the truth is living what you believe.  In this episode I talk about how my four children reminded me of this with an interaction after Mass yesterday.  Thanks for listening and God bless you all.

This episode was supposed to debut on January 26th on KGMS radio in Tucson, but they pulled the show because they don't want a Catholic on their network.  Please excuse me plugging the station.  In this episode I cover Bible verses where Jesus did in fact claim to be divine, and briefly discuss some extrabiblical sources that discuss Jesus existing.  Stay tuned because this show will have a short daily episode starting January 27th.

Defending Truth will debut on January 26th wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.  The show airs on 7:45am Sunday mornings on 940am KGMS in Tucson, AZ starting January 26th.  Join me every week as I give you some tools to help you defend the truths of the Christian faith.
