I know the abuse scandal was a huge obstacle in my faith. I felt as though I couldn't trust the Church or the pastors who were supposed to shepherd me. It was a betrayal. Letter to a Suffering Church is a great, short book that can be very comforting to anyone who's angry about this.
Lewis' Screwtape Letters is a great read for people of all ages, at least from middle school on. It is the tale of two demons, an older and a younger trying to tempt a man to bring him to Hell. And, the older demon is advising his nephew on how to do this successfully. You'll see all the subtle ways that demons can tempt you and pull your attention away from where it should be.

The government measures taken to combat the spread of the virus have quickly devolved into draconian oversteps. In practice, we've seen abuses of freedom and individuals across the country. Now ask yourself if you'd rather: Die Free Or Live As A Slave?
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, is like to take a look at what the Irish have done in America, beyond just building the railroad. Also, well look at a bit you can do to prepare (and stay prepared) for the Wu Flu.
In the last couple episodes, we discussed how you can come to know things about God, creation, and ethics, through human reasoning. Today, we conclude this series talking about what the incarnation reveals and how it fulfills us.

Welcome to Part 2 of my series on Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Today we discuss how we can come to understand the world around us and to know truth in light of God's nature that we discussed last week.
This episode begins a new series on what it means when Jesus claims to be the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We'll dive into why that is and how we arrive at the point where He comes to fulfill the plan of salvation.
There's no more Advent season anymore- just Christmas. As soon as Thanksgiving is over, it's the Christmas season, not Advent, that is all across America. In this podcast, we talk about "Why Christmas Shouldn't Replace Advent"
