Today's episode is about sense of belonging, teamwork, and fellowship and how our actions effect those around us. God has given us a desire to belong and be accepted among people. We see that in childhood development where kids will join groups and socialize and don't want to be considered different or unusual. Being ostracized or having a stigma is considered bad. All of us are deeply hurt when our sense of belonging is destroyed, whether in a family, work, or society in general. One of the biggest failures about leaning very heavily on trying to belong to earthly communities is that sooner or later they will let us down. We get old, so we need to retire, neighbors leave, organizations don't fulfill our lives, Family members die, people's personality change. There is one great organization that will never change and never die. (December 7, 2018)

We are going to compare the Marine Corps dramatic change of embracing of maneuver warfare in the 1980's to Vatican II. There are great similarities between the two changes. Both of them greatly impacted how "sub-delegation" and the authority/obedience chain got disrupted, which was a game changer, both negatively and positively. The Marine Corps was able to adapt with a simple but effective sub-delegation method. This method can be applied everywhere, in business, in family, in work, and in the Catholic church. I have used it in my business and family life. It's called the Commanders Intent, and it is described in the best secular book called: Marine Corp Doctrine Publication 1: Warfighting.

Most of the issues of the Catholic Church, government, business, society, and even family is this little to no understanding of "sub delegation". Anarchy in any organization, whether in a family, business, or government, is because of the breakdown in sub-delegation. Sub-delegation gives the purpose or meaning for both authority and obedience. Sub-delegation is the middle layer or life blood between authority and obedience. It helps us to connect the dots. In fact, sub-delegation requires obedient authority. (November 23, 2018)

Today's episode is about giving up. We give up because we don't have the patience or drive to keep going on. We give up on work, marriage, business, our dreams, but more importantly some even give up in becoming a saint. It is so easy to give up because life is difficult. But as Christians, we don't give up, we don't back down, we always move forward, and we have the hope and love of God to carry us on. (November 16, 2018)

What is the meaning of life and why are we born? To answer those questions, we must understand death and what happens to us after death. It's ironic that to put real meaning and purpose to our lives, we must contemplate death. (November 9, 2018)

There so many questions, fears, and hopes about death. Why is there death? What is the meaning of death? What is it to die? How many of us block out the idea of death, until a tragedy occurs or death in a family member. And yet even when we block it out, we flaunt with death, by watching war movies or horror movies, or even dramas like CSI, NCIS or other shows that talk about autopsy. We have plenty of memorials to understand how people have died before us, yet do we think about our own death, which is inevitable. The moment we are born, the clock starts ticking on death.

We sometimes limit Truth as telling the truth or perhaps theological truths that divinely reveled by God through either the Bible or tradition. But Catholics are not gnostics. Knowing the truth is not he objective of our Faith. Truth is more then "telling the truth" or theology, Truth is not a something, but some one. Jesus says, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me." So truth is also relationship with God. How can we take the ascent of Truth of God from the Intellect to the Heart? (Guest speaker: Fr. Terrance, FI) (October 19, 2018)

Episode 34: What is trust and why do we trust others and God. Can we really trust God? Why is it so difficult for even pious people to trust God. Many of us want to trust God, but wanting to trust God does not mean we really trust Him. Hopefully, this episode will help identify what the road blocks in trusting God are and how we can overcome them, so that we can truly say "Jesus I trust in You". Guest speaker Fr. Terrance, FL (October 12, 2018)

Episode 33: Mercy is so important to relationships. It is the "buffer" between individuals in a relationship so relationships don't fall apart. Many Families fall under the "spirit of criticism" rather then the spirit of mercy, which can tear down a family or another person self esteem. This spirit of criticism can hit even pious families.
