This is the week of the big game and 100 million plus people around the world will be watching the Patriots and Eagles play—but the Super Bowl is more than just a game and has become religious rite in our secular culture.  Join us for this episode of the Jaws of Life Podcast when Tim and Rob fire up the Jaws of Life to help separate the show from the spectacle and enjoy the game in a truly Christian manner.

As the Church journeys through time, she is not immune to the effects of fads especially as a means to organic development.  But what happens if some of them are forced or strategically planned?  Join us in today’s episode as Tim and Rob put some of these fads under the microscope and employ the tiny Jaws of Life to separate those that are good from those that are, well, not so good.

There are few things in this world that are ubiquitous as music.  We find it everywhere, but have we ever considered its effects upon our hearts and our minds.  In this episode, Rob and Tim have the jaws of life humming once again, freeing music from mindless entertainment and base emotion.

In a culture saturated with media input, constantly needing to be fed with the latest news, the phenomenon that is fake news is itself becoming news.  The sources of truth in our culture are quickly drying up and many have grown cynical that truth can be found anywhere in the media.  Thankfully the Church sees herself as having a role in the media, especially as a means to reporting the News and how it relates to the Good News.  Join us on today’s episode as Tim and I as we grab the jaws of life and pull the truth out of the media backseat and set it free to drive once again.

It was a memorable year on many fronts.  But how will history judge 2017?  Join us for this week’s episode as we employ the Jaws of Life to pry the truly momentous events of 2017 from the grips of the humdrum.

Time—all of us, young and old, are living on borrowed time so that it becomes the most important commodity in our lives.  How we spend our time not only affects our eternal happiness but our earthly happiness as well.  As we approach the new year and the ineveitable resolutions that come with it, Tim and I think it is worth examining how we use our time. Join us for today’s episode as Tim and I grab the three prong extension cords from the Christmas lights and plug up the portable Jaws of Life to free us  from our self-inflicted time bombs and needless wasting of time.

“The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church”…we’ve heard the stories and the feats of faith of our forefathers in the Faith.  But could it happen to us here and now?  Join us for this special episode of the Podcast when we use the Jaws of Life to pry us away from our creature comforts and arm us for the ultimate sacrifice.

The most wonderful time of the year–we finally get to hear a guitar riff in the intro from Tim and Rob, well even the Wet Blanket can’t quite snuff out the joy of the season.  Join us for todays’ episode where we discuss the challenge of celebrating Christmas in a true Christian spirit, applying the Jaws of Life to dig Christmas out from under the avalanche of secularism and consumerism.

Football has long been a favorite sport among Americans, but there has been a public campaign in recent years to challenge its safety, steering young people away from the game. This approach of public campaigning has become a major tool for squashing any debate on not only football but any number of issues including those inside the Church.

In this episode of the Jaws of Life, Rob and Tim put their helmets and pads on, add a Hail Mary or two, and hand off the jaws of life to tackle the issue of public campaigns and how they warp our sense of what is true, good and beautiful

With the “season of giving” upon us, most of us make an extra effort to reach out to those in need as a way of spreading the joy of the season.  In traditional Catholic terms, we make an extra effort to practice both the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.  Despite having hearts filled with generosity some of us are cautious above giving especially not knowing whether or not someone is truly in need.  Join us for today’s episode as Tim and I attach the portable jaws of life to our short arms in order to pry open our deep pockets and give liberally to those in need.
