Welcome to the celebration! That’s right… this episode is a celebration of one of my favorite people in the worlds return home. Born into the Southern Baptist tradition of Christianity, my brother in Christ has been welcomed into the fullness of truth and is living the next chapter of his life sacramentally. The past few years have been a test of the metal to which he is made and I am more convince that he has the patients of a saint. Fitting for him, that is what he wants to be, a saint. Choosing the name Dismiss Dion as a confirmation name my friend Trace Chamberlain enters into the next part of his journey along the way. I am so proud of my friend who is a model of perseverance to me and anyone else that has the privilege of this man of God’s wisdom.

This episode begins season ten of this podcast. I am hoping this season will be a call to action in restoring kindness and charity to a world that is hurting from loneliness and fear.

The Political season is once again upon us. I have to say that I have not seen that many political advertisement’s this time. I guess because I live in a state that is dominated by the democratic ideology. I, at one point in my life followed the tides of politics, believing that that my vote made a difference. Then out of shear frustration I gave up on politics and politicians. I became a person that didn’t think what happens in Washington had any real effect on me. Now with the price of food and everything else on the rise and the wars that rage on I once again have turned my eyes back to the political arena in hopes that someone has an answer to the problems we face as a nation.

In this episode Fr. Skip Thompson talks with Deacon Dave and Dave about every Catholics Civic Duty to vote. You may feel as if your vote doesn’t count …but stand up and make your voice heard by casting you vote.

We live in times when it just seem like it’s okay to offend Christians especially Catholic Christian’s. We look and the world and wonder where the world has gone wrong? And it is the world that reminds us of the people that call themselves Catholic and their short comings as well. Scandal and controversy has a way of beating us down. It makes us ask the question who can I trust? Friends I believe Jesus when he said that “This is My church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” We live in a time as witnesses to the truth that the gates of hell will try to take down the church. Jesus I trust in you! Help your people through these times let us not lose even one of your sheep in these battles of attrition.

Joining me along the way is the host of a Catholic Take is someone who prepares for these battles and delivers the information you should know my friend Joe McClane.
