What stops us from allowing God's power to be manifest in and through us? Sin -right? Not exactly. Sin is a problem–nut not THE problem.

You and I will sin, will fall, and will fail–and perhaps fall big. When we fail and fail how we respond after that awful moment determines everything.

In TCF Episode 9 "After You Sin Big" I discuss the two ultimate responses to a big fall and why it is vital to get that response right… and if you do respond correctly, watch what God can do with you.

In TCF Answers Episode 7, "I've Failed as a Father" Devin responds to the question, "I've got several children.

After encountering your message I cannot help but to think I have failed as a father. How can I reconcile the call to fatherly greatness with my past failings? "

We all want more. More money, more time, more success, more prestige, more pleasure, more fun, more friends, fans, and followers… we all want more. But often the more we want the less we have. Why do we often lose what we worked so hard for? How do we get more?

We are commanded to be generous, to give, and help others. But often we become fearful that if we give, we will have less. We are tempted to believe that having more is achieved by giving less–by holding on tightly to what we have.

The devil conditions us to believe that giving more we will have less, that we will suffer less if we have more, and the more we have the less we will need. But what if that is a lie?

In The Catholic Father Episode 8, Wanting More, I focus on a certain individual who believed these things and his belief determined his fatal destiny. By looking at his example we will discover the secret to obtaining more of what we really need and what we truly desire.

Discover how to conquer your fear of losing what you have and to have and be more than you ever imagined.
