Pete Burak and Peter Herbeck of Renewal Ministries unpack Pentecost, what different it makes in our lives (10:00) and how we are called to live in and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Peter also gives some perspective on the murder of George Floyd (32:00), what it means to have a 'renewed mind', and how disciples are called to respond to times of injustice particularly in light of the Beatitudes (41:00). After a brief prayer with Peter, Pete gives some final thoughts on the episode and invites everyone to listen...not necessarily to this podcast, but to each other, to those who's experiences differ from ours, and most importantly, to the Lord.
Pete Burak and Dr. Ralph Martin of Renewal Ministries discuss the origins of his famous and controversial talks then book, A Crisis of Church, with a particular emphasis on the power and authority of God's word. Ralph also describes his initial conversion (18:00), his friendship with Fr. Mike Scanlan and surprises Pete with an exciting announcement (29:00). Then Pete unpacks one of his favorite verses, Philippians 4:4-7.
It's Episode #2...at least we did more than one.
Important Dei Verbum quote: Therefore, since everything asserted by the inspired authors or sacred writers must be held to be asserted by the Holy Spirit, it follows that the books of Scripture must be acknowledged as teaching solidly, faithfully and without error that truth which God wanted put into sacred writings (5) for the sake of salvation. Therefore "all Scripture is divinely inspired and has its use for teaching the truth and refuting error, for reformation of manners and discipline in right living, so that the man who belongs to God may be efficient and equipped for good work of every kind" (2 Tim. 3:16-17).
OUR FIRST REAL EPISODE! Pete Burak explains the purpose of this podcast before he is joined by Peter Herbeck, the Vice President of Renewal Ministries.

Finally, Pete gives some closing thoughts about this moment, this hour, and this show.
