Here is the second hour of Morning Joy from June 30th, presented without edit, because the Holy Spirit brought out so many themes that were unplanned, from leadership to obedience to salvation and hope. It was incredible how all of these uncoordinated segments lined up to form a through-line. If I were to sum it up in one way, it would be something like this: Jesus is both our perfect example of how to lead and our perfect example of how to obey. Would you agree with that summary?

Jesus knew the storm was coming. Why did he send his disciples into the boat anyway? So that they could be obedient! Why do we have to be obedient? Because our very ability to choose IS the thing that God is trying to save. So choose life!

Fr. Sam Medley, SOLT, shares some very powerful teachings from the Gospel of Matthew.

Debbie and Cy examine in detail Mother Teresa's famous advice that we are not called to be successful but to be faithful. It is so much easier to simply do what God calls us to instead of worrying about the outcomes. We can't control the outcomes anyway.

Debbie and Cy pull a very serious inside file about a claim of mass graves for Native American children being false. When the Catholic Church is in the wrong, the pope issues an apology and seeks reconciliation. When the media is in the wrong, who issues the apology?
