April 05, 2018 Episode044: “Icons are like Post-it Notes”

How much do you know about icons? Annie is currently preparing and creating an icon-making kit with: materials, a written explanation of the history of icons and each theological element in the selected icon in the kit, instructions for painting the icon included in the kit. This kit is a gift for Chuck and Annie’s goddaughter, who will be receiving the Eucharist for the first time next weekend.
In this episode, Chuck and Annie invite you to join them on their icon adventure! We hope you’ll learn something new and perhaps be inspired to welcome an icon into your home to enrich your own prayer life and grow even closer to Our Lord.

March 22, 2018 Episode042: St Peter and the Shrink

Do you ever find yourself jaded by Bible stories you’ve heard repeatedly? We tackle one story in this episode that most of use probably know by heart- Peter’s denial of Jesus. We break down each account in each of the four Gospels and assess four similarites- fire, women, servants/guards, and followed at a distanceand what they mean for the spiritual life and state of the soul and what it means to us. We even dabble in some analytical psychology… Tune in for another episode of Salt and Light with Chuck and Annie.

March 08, 2018 Episode041: Let’s talk marathons and learn a little Hebrew

In a “tapestry moment”, this week’s episode is all about perseverance. Last week my sister ran the Woodlands Marathon- all 26.2 miles of it- and qualified for the Boston Marathon! There are about 8-stages a runner experiences while running a marathon; ironcially, it’s very similar to the spiritual life. In His Divine Providence, God provides. Throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we are given Wisdom in persevering in the spiritual life. Join Chuck and Annie in this episode of the Salt and Light podcast, and learn a little Hebrew on the journey! We hope you love this episode and find it especially helpful at this time of Lent.

February 15, 2018 Episode038: Busting the Myth of Less Fasting
BaconCardVideo
With an increasing number of articles, posts, blogs, and videos suggesting that fasting is less important and Lent should just include more prayer, Chuck and Annie challenge this new wave of popular opinion and go back to Scripture. What does Scripture say about fasting, and what should Lent actually look like? Well, interestingly enough, Christ gives us a blueprint! Tune in to find out what the 3 principles of Lent are and how we are suppose to follow them.

Welcome to another episode of Salt and Light, and this week it’s “just the two of us”.

Hint: There’s Jesus, Noah, unicorns, an Irish folksong played live, what’s “two by two” in the Bible mean?, humptyback camels, and, of course, the totality of salvation history.

February 01, 2018 Episode036: “Til death do us part” with Dean and Jessica Ouellette

For one more week, we are joined by guests on the Salt and Light podcast. Dean Ouellette and his bride, Jessica, join us to talk about Retrouvaille– a lifeline for marriages and a program to help couples heal and renew their hurting marriages.
An excerpt from the Retrouvaile website describes it as follows: “This program is for couples with marital problems that want marriage help. Those who are considering marriage separation and those who are already separated or divorced are encouraged to consider the Retrouvaille Program. There is always hope of reviving your relationship. It is NOT a Retreat, Seminar, Social Gathering, or Religious Conversion Experience. It is NOT Marriage Counseling. It is NOT a Sensitivity Group. It is NOT Group Counseling. It is NOT for Profit.”
So what it is? Tune in to this episode to learn more about the program and how it can be used to strengthen and heal broken marriages so husband and wife can live out the Sacrament of Marriage and grow together in holiness.

January 27, 2018 Episode035: A Pro-Life Call-to-Action with Lauren Enriquez

With adrenaline still pumping from the 45th annual March for Life, Chuck and Annie sit down with Mrs. Lauren Enriquez of HumanCoalition.org. Lauren is a millenial leader of her generation and has devoted her life in full-time service of the Pro-Life cause. She joined us on this episode to share her experiences at the March for Life in Washington DC last week that are never covered on major media outlets, and she opines as to why that is the sad case. She also shared some current legislation on abortion and what organizations are doing on a national and also local, grassroots level to continue the rising tide of pro-life community and its work saving thousands and thousands of babies from abortion every single year. We also briefly discussed the Catholic Church’s historical teachings on abortion, and rounded out the discussion with the little-talked-about men’s role in the pro-life community.
If you are pregnant and need help, please call (800) 848-LOVE.
Lauren offered to share the following information with our listeners and even provided her contact information for anyone feeling called to serve in the pro-life community, needing pregnancy support, or wanting to learn more about the REAL pro-life message and community.
AbortionExploitsWomen.com (the site for men)
Brian Fisher’s book, Abortion: The Ultimate Exploitation of Women, is available for purchase in both hard copy and ebook formats at that site.
People can contact Lauren Enriquez on Twitter (my DMs are open so we don’t have to follow each other) https://twitter.com/LNEnriquez or email [email protected]
