  • 06 Ep#510 The Sword of the Spirit Is the Logos
    2024/08/26
    The Word of God is the Logos (Jn 1:1-18) - a Person, not a book. Creation is a "book of God's words" brought forth through the wisdom and Person of the Logos. Now, in the spiritual new creation, the Logos gives Himself to us as "seed" and "food" in Scripture and Eucharist, which together are the "one table of the Lord" (CCC 103). Mary, created to be the Seat of Wisdom, shows us how to LOVE the Word so that the Logos is incarnated in us, and we can offer Him to the world with her in wielding the sword of the Spirit that defeats the enemy.

  • 05 Ep#509 Helmet of Salvation: Salvation Is Not an “Ask Jesus Into Your Heart” Moment
    2024/08/19
    "Salvation" is not merely a moment of asking Jesus into your heart, at least not according to the Bible. Jesus never said to anyone who asked about salvation, "Ask me into your heart and you will be saved." But He did say, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day" (John 6:53-54). Greek words have motion: I was saved> I am being saved> I will be saved. Salvation begins with baptism, and proceeds along a path of exodus, of healing, of restoration, of transformation. Salvation is only finished at the end, in Him. He is our peace, shalom, rest.

  • 04 Ep#508 The Shield of Faith: What Is Faith?
    2024/08/12
    Faith cannot simply be belief – in God, or in a set of teachings – for “even the demons believe and tremble” (James 2:19). In this show, we discern what faith is, by looking at what it isn’t. This show is from the previous LOVE the Word® series, the Entrust episode, available here.

Hebrews 11:6, “And without faith it is impossible to please him.

  • 03 Ep#507 Why Is the Gospel ‘Good News’?: Shoes of Gospel Peace
    2024/08/05
    I'm convinced that part of why we walk in fear, shame, and guilt for so long as Christians, is that we do not sufficiently understand the Gospel. "Gospel" means "good news." Why is it good news? Because "for freedom He has set you free" (Gal 5:1).

  • 02 Ep#506 Stop Keeping the “Rules”: Breastplate of Righteousness
    2024/07/22
    "Rules" are not righteousness. Rules often become the symbol for righteousness rather than the road to it. Is "righteousness" about keeping rules? What is "sin" anyway? Why shouldn't we, because God will be offended and send us to hell? This episode explores the Breastplate of Righteousness in Ephesians 6:14, what righteousness is, and how to wear the breastplate.

    2024/07/15
    This series, The Armor of God for Healing, is based on Ephesians 6:10-18. Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of peace; above all taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints" (Ephesians 6:10-18).

  • 11 Ep#504 Full Length Inner Child Visualization
    2024/07/08
    Dedicated to Max. Sometimes a podcast episode feels like a pure supernatural gift from the Holy Spirit to me, and then to you. This episode is such a gift. This technique has the power to heal at the heart level like nothing else I've used. Ask Little Therese for that grace. In Episode #495, I offered a short version of The Little Way Visualization technique. It was short because I ran out of time in the episode after qualifying the exercise with a few warnings, a grounding technique in case you encountered emotions that threatened to take over, and breathing and relaxation guidance. If you need that sort of support, please revisit that episode (linked in the previous sentence). Several of you asked for a fuller experience without the interruptions, so here it is, full length, uninterrupted, and fully produced. Skip to the 12:00 minute mark to begin.

  • 10 Ep#503 Pharisaism, Narcissism, and Worthlessness
    2024/06/17
    Before we can truly become "little," we must confront the Pharisee in ourselves. Pharisaism is religious narcissism. The Bible calls it "insolent pride." The label "narcissist" is widely deployed to refer to people who appear to be too full of themselves, but the truth is, we all have selfish, narcissistic tendencies to some degree that we must wrestle with. I believe this "spirit of judgment" is the main wound of the Fall. Jesus' most dire warnings and strongest words were for the blind Pharisees. . Clinically, narcissism is a spectrum, and there are three "types" that give us useful information on how to deal with it in ourselves and others. Ultimately, Paul says we must "come out!" and unto our Heavenly Father in order to heal this father wound. . If you've never explored the "father wound," here 's a whole series o healing the father wound.
