Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you…” But if that promise was for all believers, why does it so often not match reality? In this episode, we explore whether the peace of John 14:27 was meant for every Christian—or only for the Eleven who heard it that night. A hard but necessary conversation about promise, context, and what we’ve misunderstood.

Fr. Mike Schmitz’s $100 “Parables Tour” raises serious questions about the commercialization of ministry. Why is the Church charging for what Jesus gave freely? In this episode, I examine what this model says about the gospel, money, and the priorities of the modern Church.

A discussion out the difficulty of interpreting John 14:21-26

Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” turns romance into religion—replacing God with the beloved. In this episode, we explore the song’s spiritual imagery, its emotional honesty, and how it contrasts with the Gospel reading from John 13.

Today we take an unfiltered look at John 13:34 and ask: What happens when we read the Bible honestly—without religious gloss or easy answers?

Jesus' command to "love one another as I have loved you" isn't just hard—it's crushing. We explore who He was really speaking to, how the Church has failed to live it out, and why so few seem disturbed by that failure.

This is not a comfortable teaching. But it's one we need to face.

Today we explore the deep Christology of John 14: “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.” We connect this truth to Acts 13 and Psalm 98, showing how Christ reveals the Father, the Church carries that revelation, and salvation reaches the nations.

A cultural and theological deep dive into the top songs of Summer 2025. Each episode unpacks lyrics through biblical, liturgical, and spiritual lenses—revealing what today’s music says about our hunger for meaning, transcendence, and worship.

What if “I go to prepare a place for you” doesn’t mean heaven later—but the cross now? In today’s episode, we explore John 14:2 in its true context and discover a more powerful comfort: access to the Father through Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Welcome to the Summer 2025 Lectionary Challenge. In this kickoff episode, we explain what the challenge is, why we’re using the Catholic lectionary, how to engage the readings each day, and what to expect from each episode.

Protestant Catholicism
