The Terry and Jesse Show – Virgin Most Powerful Radio

What will heaven be like? Jesse Romero and Terry Barber are wise in turning to Saint Thomas Aquinas' Suma Theologica for the answer. As Doctor of the Catholic Church, Aquinas describes what Heaven is and how it works. There is no time for silly questions like "Will dogs go to heaven?". We want to know the crazier things, we want to find out about Glory!

Today's Topics:

1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Mk 10:1-12 - Jesus came into the district of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds gathered around Him and, as was His custom, He again taught them. The Pharisees approached Him and asked, "Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?" They were testing Him. He said to them in reply, "What did Moses command you?" They replied, "Moses permitted a husband to write a bill of divorce and dismiss her." But Jesus told them, "Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." In the house the disciples again questioned Jesus about this. He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."

Terry discusses heaven as described in the Catechism of the Catholic Church

There will always be Persecution in the Catholic Church. Even in a Christian nation, it seems that Catholics are not safe. The backlash from Harrison Butker's Speech is the latest example of how troubling it can get to speak even the most basic truths about the Faith. How often in public do we find ourselves biting our tongue to avoid persecution? Terry Barber and Jesse Romero talk about how Catholics are treated in the United States and the World. As members of the Catholic Church, Barber and Romero never hesitate to speak the truth with clarity and charity.

Today's Topics:

1) Gospel - Mk 9:41-50 - Jesus said to His disciples: "Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward.

"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone

were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut if off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled than with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. Better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into Gehenna, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.

"Everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is good, but if salt becomes insipid, with what will you restore its flavor? Keep salt in yourselves and you will have peace with one another."

Catholic Psychiatrist & Medical Doctor, Dr. Luis Sandoval, encourages those who have a stigma against going to therapy to then turn to the saints. There is nothing wrong with going to therapy or visiting a doctor. Still, there are some people who think that therapy may not be for them. Dr. Luis Sandoval offers us a solution. By turning to the Saints of the Catholic Church, one can find advice or share stories to help bring peace of mind. There are thousands of Saints in the Catholic Church and we can find all kinds of related experiences from those who are closer to Christ then we are. Getting closer to Christ may not feel good at first but no one is cured from one therapy session, either.

In an attempt to defame Harrison Butker, the national media has accused Butker of being anti-women. Join Terry Barber and Jesse Romero on The Terry and Jesse Show as they highlight those who are willing to publicly speak out in support of Butker. Terry and Jesse use the teachings of the Catholic Church and apply them to today's topics and trends. With Harrison Butker as an inspiration, Barber and Romero work together to inspire Catholics around the world to stand up for their faith.

Today's Topics:

1) Gospel - Mk 9:38-40 - John said to Jesus, "Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in Your Name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us." Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in My Name who can at the same time speak ill of Me. For whoever is not against us is for us."

Traditionalism is not the solution to the problems in the Catholic Church but a symptom of what is happening today! Sophia Press Author, Aurelio Porfiri, explains how traditionalism and black-and-white Catholicism is damaging to evangelization. This should be an interesting show as the host, Jesse Romero, is known for being controversially traditional himself.

Today's Topics:

1) Gospel - Mk 9:30-37 - Jesus and His disciples left from there and began a journey through Galilee, but He did not wish anyone to know about it. He was teaching His disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill Him, and three days after His death the Son of Man will rise.” But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to question Him.

They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, He began to ask them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” But they remained silent. For they had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the greatest. Then He sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.” Taking a child, he placed it in their midst, and putting his arms around it, He said to them, “Whoever receives one child such as this in My Name, receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but the One Who sent Me.”

It's an age-old adage, good philosophy breeds good theology. This inspiring radio show, with Father Charles Murr and Terry Barber, takes a wild turn in explaining the heresy of the modern day. In this battle against modernism, the Catholic Church is determined to call out bad philosophy and demonic psychology. Two old Catholics tackle the subject in an unfiltered manner. Together, Barber and Father Murr explain the illogical thinking promoted in our modern society.

Today's Topics:

1) Gospel - Jn 19:25-34 - Standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple there whom He loved, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold, your son.”

Then He said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I thirst.” There was a vessel filled with common wine.

So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to His Mouth. When Jesus had taken the wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His Head, He handed over the Spirit.

Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken and they be taken down. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus. But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His Legs, but one soldier thrust his lance into His side, and immediately Blood and water flowed out.

Father Charles Murr joins Terry to discuss the importance of the relationship between good philosophy and good theology, the importance of knowing the Faith, and not straying from the Deposit of Faith

Are there pros and cons to the music we listen to? Does music alter the brain? Late rap & hip-hop artist Xxxtentation was interviewed saying that a song's frequency can target certain parts of the brain. Whether it is true or not, many have at least heard that playing classical music in a child's infant stages makes them smarter. Join two of the most dynamic speakers in the Catholic Church, Jesse Romero and Terry Barber, as they try to give a Catholic take on how Classical Music alters the brain.

Today's Topics:

1) Gospel - Jn 21:15-19 - After Jesus had revealed Himself to His disciples and eaten breakfast with them, He said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?" Simon Peter answered Him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My lambs." He then said to Simon Peter a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Simon Peter answered Him, "Yes, Lord, You know that I love You."

He said to him, "Tend My sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Peter was distressed that He had said to him a third time, "Do you love Me?" and he said to Him, "Lord, You know everything; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep. Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go." He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had said this, He said to him, "Follow Me."

Terry Barber and Jesse Romero React to Harrison Butker's Commencement Speech as it echoes what Barber and Romero have been saying on their previous shows. Barber and Romero use the Kansas City Chief's Kicker and his speech to call out the Hierarchy of the Catholic Church. Jesse Romero later interviews Bob Trussell on his new book from Sophia Press: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-logic-that-god-exists/

 

Today's Topics:

1) Gospel - Jn 17:20-26 - Lifting up His Eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed, saying: “Holy Father, keep them in Your Name that You have given Me, so that they may be one just as We are One. When I was with them I protected them in Your Name that You gave Me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to You. I speak this in the world so that they may share My joy completely. I gave them Your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. I do not ask that You take them out of the world but that You keep them from the Evil One. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate Myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.”

Understanding yourself is the prerequisite for recognizing your worth. We are told time and time again that we have infinite value in God’s eyes but we need to understand our strengths and offer up our weaknesses. We must be able to see ourselves the way God sees us. The world has brainwashed us to believe that we can only be valued if we look a certain way or if we need to make a certain amount. How can this be when we are all individually and uniquely created by God? Dr. Sandoval wants to remind you that being you is enough to reach out to God. However, we can only truly know Him and ourselves by striving to live a sacramental lifestyle according to the Catholic Church.

PragerU makes a feature on this episode of The TJ Show comparing the moral case of both capitalism and socialism. Terry Barber and Jesse Romero later go on to point out how Christian's have been victims of too many attacks, as of recent. Barber and Romero encourage churches to go into wartime mode. Activating all members of your local Knights of Colombus or strategically placing members are just some ways to avoid any kind of brutal attack. In a Wartime Church, the priest actually I called upon to lead his parish as a spiritual warrior and we encourage everyone to be vigilant.

Today's Topics:

1) Gospel - Jn 17:11b-19 - Lifting up His Eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed, saying: “Holy Father, keep them in Your Name that you have given Me, so that they may be one just as We are One.
