This week we explore one of my favorite Saints...Saint Benedict!  Just about everyone has heard his name. But, do you know anything about him, anything about the Monastic Rule he created (that is still widely used today), or the sacred medal of Saint Benedict and its many meanings?  No worries...we will cover that and much more today!  This is a great show for everyone and anyone interested in taking their faith to the next level. Have a listen and enjoy!

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910 – 1991) was a Vajrayana master, scholar, poet, teacher, and recognized by Buddhists as one of the greatest realized masters. Head of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism from 1988 to 1991, he is also considered an eminent proponent of the Rime tradition. Rinpoche is one of my all-time favorite Teachers!  Have a listen and I'm sure you will love him just as much as I do!

Not clickbait. I was actually cursed by a Catholic Bishop! Have a listen, as I share this experience as well as the history behind the hate and prejudice of Christians against Witches - or those of Nature Faiths. I share biblical references that prove there have been mistranslations over the centuries as well as intentional changes to support a certain non-biblical belief. This show is great for everyone of all or no faiths!  Knowledge is power and you will find both in this episode!

Wow!  Do I ever have a Truly Amazing show for you all today!  Saint Nektarios was, without a doubt, one of the most humble, forgiving, and loving people of our days! His story will encourage, inspire, and motivate you and your faith - no matter what it is - or isn't!

There is a great movie about Saint Nektarios called "Man of God."  It is currently free on the Tubi app.  Here's the link... Man of God

This week we talk about the devil, satan, lucifer, demons, possession...or what I call DARKNESS.  How does negative energy/darkness take hold of us so easily? What are the signs? What can we do to stop and prevent this? What can we do if we have become oppressed or possed? Have a listen to this episode and you will learn the answers to these questions and more!

  This week we meet the incredible St. Margaret of Castello!  For the first 6 years of her life, she was kept in a storage space under a staircase in a castle. Her well-to-do parents did not want the attention and shame of having a child with disabilities. Margaret was born deaf, lame, hunch-backed, and a little person. Her story is Truly Amazing and inspiring!  Her parents then abandoned her. Margaret was homeless, begging in the streets. She overcame every obstacle put in her path and inspired and loved a whole town! This is one show you definitely will not want to miss!
