In this episode of The Cyndi Peterson Show, we explore the lives and martyrdoms of James the Greater and James the Lesser (the Just)—two of Jesus’ twelve apostles who shared not just a name, but a legacy of faith, sacrifice, and transformation.

Join me as I unravel the powerful journey of James the Greater: from preaching at the literal “ends of the earth” in Spain, to being the first apostle martyred. Then discover the quiet strength of James the Just, appointed by Peter, John, and James himself as the first bishop of Jerusalem. His holy leadership, fierce prayer life, and martyrdom from the pinnacle of the Temple changed the early Church forever.

What can we learn from their different paths? What lasting impact did they leave behind? And what do their lives teach us about trusting God's plan—even when we don’t see immediate results?

What does it really mean when Scripture says God is a "refiner of silver"? In this episode, Cyndi Peterson explores the ancient process of refining silver and reveals the powerful spiritual truth behind it. God is not distant from your trials—He is personally present in them, lovingly refining your soul with care and precision. Drawing from Malachi 3:3 and Church teaching, this episode will inspire you to see your suffering not as punishment, but as a path to holiness—where God's image is slowly being revealed in you.

Cyndi shares an inspring true story of a priest's search for a man to give last rites to before he dies. The Mercy of God, A mother's love, and the need to always keep your soul in a state of grace is profoundly shown in this beautiful story.

Explore the history, theology, and spiritual power of St. Michael’s Grotto in Gargano, Italy, where heaven touched earth.

In this episode of The Cyndi Peterson Show, journey to one of the most extraordinary holy sites in the world — the Sanctuary of St. Michael the Archangel on Monte Gargano in southern Italy.

Cyndi recounts the powerful tradition and apparitions tied to this sacred cave — the only church said to be consecrated not by human hands, but by St. Michael himself. From miraculous victories in battle to divine protection during the plague, and even to modern-day spiritual warfare, this grotto has been a place where heaven truly touched earth.

Discover why saints like Padre Pio, Francis of Assisi, and John Paul II made pilgrimages here, and why exorcists today, including Fr. Chad Ripperger, use stones from this grotto as powerful sacramentals in the fight against evil.

Learn the history, meaning, and spiritual power of this sacred place — and why invoking St. Michael’s protection is more needed today than ever.

“What is asked here in prayer will be granted.” — St. Michael the Archangel

In this episode, Cyndi explores The Guardian Angel Prayer - line by line - uncovering its meaning in light of Catholic teaching and inspiring stories from the lives of saints. Hear how St. Padre Pio, St. Frances of Rome, Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, and others experienced their guardian angels in powerful and personal ways. 

Discover how your own angel inspires, protects, and guides you every day - and why this simple prayer can  transform your faith as well as foster a deeper relationship with your angel.

Can one short prayer really change a life? In this episode, Cyndi shares the remarkable true story of John Petrovich—a jogger whose single whispered Hail Mary saved a dying woman he didn’t even know. With reflections from the saints and insights from his priest, this story reminds us that every prayer, no matter how brief, is heard. Learn how loving your neighbor can be as simple as a sigh to heaven.

In this gripping episode, Cyndi Peterson unveils 32 chilling admissions from demons during real exorcisms — all revealing the unstoppable power of Eucharistic Adoration. Drawing from the records of Fr. Gabriele Amorth, former chief exorcist of Rome, this episode explores how Adoration confirms the True Presence, defeats demonic influence, protects the soul, transforms the heart, and intercedes for sinners and the souls in purgatory. Discover why even a few adorers in silence can shake the gates of hell.

Christ is present. The battle is real. This is spiritual combat and Christ has already won.

Cyndi shares the true story originally told by Caroline Myss of “The Woman in the Fifth Car.” After a tragic car accident, Maggie’s near-death experience takes her above the crash scene, where she hears complaints from drivers caught in traffic—except one woman who’s quietly praying. That prayer becomes a swirl of light, flowing into Maggie’s body, restoring her to life. This episode explores what Catholics can take from this story about intercessory prayer, the Communion of Saints, and what happens when we say yes to the promptings of grace.

Cyndi and Aimee share the story titled The Old Woman, the Butcher & the Captain, A True Story of a Woman who in return for some food offered to hear a Mass for a Butcher. When the true value of the Mass was understood, it changed everyone's hearts. This is the true story that inspired the writing of the Book, The Weight of A Mass : A Tale of Faith, by Josephine Nobisso. A beautifully illustrated book with the same message from the viewpoint of a Baker instead.
