Polycarp's Paradigm

I had the privilege of being interviewed on The Catholic Mama Podcast founded and hosted by Christine Mooney-Flynn. We talk a bit about my conversion into the Catholic Church and about the Blessed Virgin Mary.

We all have one enemy, Satan. What are the three primary things he wants to tear you away from? Find out in this episode of Polycarp's Paradigm.

We dare to say, "Our Father"... The Lord Jesus Christ gave us this most perfect prayer and the layers of meaning interwoven are profound. In this episode we will go through each phrase and all seven petitions in this prayer as we reflect on how this prayer is truly a summary of the whole Gospel.

Check out the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) paragraphs 2761-2865.

Round two with Ethan goes deep into the trying circumstances surrounding his eventual entrance into full communion with the Catholic Church. We discuss a lot of issues and relevant topics for our society as well. You won't want to miss this episode!

Ethan was the friend who had the biggest influence on me becoming Catholic, yet he was not Catholic at the time, but became Catholic a year after I did.

In this episode you'll hear the first part of his journey where he even recounts an incredible healing story. Enjoy!

"This is the glorious duty of man: to pray and to love. If you pray and love, that is where a man's happiness lies. Prayer is nothing else but union with God" -St. John Vianney

Prayer is essential to the Christian life. As breathing is to your body, so prayer is to our Christian life. But sometimes it's hard to pray or to know why we ought to pray. Prayer is a battle. Let's win this battle!

The reality of Christ's Presence in the Eucharist has been a consistent, constant, and central teaching of the Catholic Church for the past 2,000 years.

Will you join the saints in centering your life on Jesus Christ in the Eucharist?

Immanuel, God with us, is still with us in the Eucharist. Jesus was willing to stake his whole ministry on this very teaching.

The Fruit of the Tree of Life... The Passover Lamb... The Bread of the Presence... The Manna from Heaven. In this episode we reflect on the amazing congruity of Scriptures as the Eucharist is prefigured in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament.

My dad shares his story of faith from childhood to present day on this episode. From nominal Methodist, to a "born again" evangelical, and, as of last year, to a Catholic. Hear about some of his paradigm shifts that led him from Protestantism to Catholicism.
