Episode 175: The Name Above All Other Names (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The “social media” of the ancient world was coinage. Emperors inscribed on coins various things to promote themselves, call attention to their great deeds, and especially to show their victories in battle. From these coins we can see useful comparisons between how Paul describes Jesus and the victorious triumphs of Roman emperors and generals. Have a comment about this podcast? Contact us!

Episode 174: The Altars That Are Our Hearts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few weeks back, we read the beginning of Romans 12, where we heard Paul’s exhortation to not be conformed to this world, to not let it squeeze us into its way of thinking, nor to allow ourselves to be squeezed into its way of thinking. But don’t most of us do that all the time?! Today, as we ponder Augustine’s rich insight, we see what’s at stake. ======= Have a comment about this podcast? Contact us!

Episode 173: What Do I Owe You? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Blessed Solanus Casey powerfully embodied what Paul calls all of us to be and to do for one another. He is a most moving testimony of the same words Paul offered to the Church in Corinth: “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If … I have not love, I am nothing.” ======= Have a comment about this podcast? Contact us! Click To Learn More About ACTS XXIX Support Thoughts from the Trailer with Fr. John Riccardo
Episode 172: Don’t Get Squeezed! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If there is one foundational Scriptural text for our work in ACTS XXIX, this is it. ACTS XXIX doesn’t offer programs, though programs can be and often are immensely helpful in the Church. Instead, the charism, the gift, God has entrusted to us as an apostolate is what we call “the three essential principles” for transformation in the Church and in the world.

Episode 171: How Unsearchable His Ways! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are so many things I do not understand about this world that God has lovingly brought into existence. There are so many people for whom I am concerned. There are so many situations that seem to make no sense at all to me. There are so many things that happened to me in my life that I don’t understand, and yet I can see how God has used them to draw me to Himself. Have a comment about this podcast? Contact us!
