Podcast

Today on the podcast we’re talking about Jesus’ transfiguration on the mountain, witnessed by the apostles Peter, James, and John. The lesson is that Jesus was always the light; on the mountain the apostles’ vision was changed, and they were able to see His divine majesty.

In this podcast we’ll learn that:

• It’s not how you climb the mountain that matters, it’s how you walk down and do the work
• The transfiguration reminds us that we are all invited to join the Kingdom of God
• If you struggle with change, ask Jesus to help convert your heart

In this bonus episode, we’re talking to Fr. Josh Johnson. He’s a priest of the Diocese of Baton Rouge, the host of the “Ask Father Josh” podcast and co-author of the new book “Pocket Guide to the Sacrament of Reconciliation.” Fr. Josh loves Jesus Christ and is passionate about bringing people to Jesus through discipleship and the sacraments.

In this bonus episode you’ll learn:

• How he went from wanting to stop being Catholic to thinking about the priesthood
• The power of the Eucharist to restore what is broken and heal divisions in the world today
• Awesome advice for the struggles we have with Confession.

In today’s podcast, we’re discussing the impact that virtue can have on our lives. Many of us are searching for ways to be heroic and change the world, but we overlook the opportunities to practice virtue in ordinary moments.

Today we’re talking about the conflict that arises when we feel called to serve God and share the Word of Christ, but worry that we aren’t worthy messengers. By using examples from the Bible, we see that God doesn’t always pick perfect people to be His messengers. 

In this podcast we’ll learn that:

• The Devil loves it when we fixate on our limitations and use them as excuses to give up hope
• God is waiting on us to bring our needs before Him and ask for grace
• We have limitations but God does not

In this special bonus episode of “Just a Guy in the Pew,” I am honored to speak with Bishop David Talley. In Memphis and throughout West Tennessee, Bishop Talley is committed to bringing Christ’s message to an increasingly secular world.

In this episode we discuss:

• The New Evangelization and what it means
• Why the New Evangelization is meant for ALL of us
• How to bring the freshness of the Lord back into our hearts and share it with others.

Today we’re excited to talk about our ministry’s new project, “The Narrow Road,” which launches in March. Most of us desire to do good and be good, but we lack a set of directions to help us form positive habits. That’s why I created a monthly program of prayers, scriptures and virtues called “The Narrow Road: The Everyday Guide for the Everyday Guy.”  

Each month “The Narrow Road” offers:

• A single virtue and a plan to inspire your progress 
• Weekly focus on a specific relationship
• Daily reflections, prayers, gospel readings and prompts to help you organize your thoughts and stay on track
• The “Opportunity for Grace” chart, a list of simple but powerful practices you can add to your life, such as morning prayer, Mass, time with your family or a nightly prayer.
