On today's episode of the podcast, I am joined by Jamie Baxter, the Founder and CEO of Exodus 90 to discuss why Catholics, and particularly Catholic men, should revive the tradition of St. Michael's Lent. This tradition, which was popularized by St. Francis of Assisi, was a staple of Western Christianity, and the Franciscan tradition in particular, for more than 800 years. In fact, it was in 1224 during St. Michael's Lent when Francis received the grace of the Stigmata, the Five Wounds of Christ. Join Jamie and I as we delve into this beautiful tradition!

On today's episode of What Is Truth? I am joined by Fr. Peter Heasley to discuss his new series published by TAN Books called "Lectio Divina with the Spiritual Masters." In the first entry, he tackles the Gospel of John.

Is the veneration of created objects such as images, statues, and relics a biblical practice? Can we trace it back to the Apostles? Do Catholics worship images, statues, and relics?

In this episode of the pod, Jack and Nico discuss significant biblical passages on baptism to show that the "reformed" doctrine that baptism is "just a symbol of salvation already received through faith" is not found in Scripture. Instead, a careful textual analysis of the New Testament's baptismal references reveals that baptism SAVES us by truly washing away our sins and giving the gift of the Holy Spirit. You won't want to miss this in-depth dive!

Don't Statues of Saints violate the "2nd Commandment" against GRAVEN IMAGES? How can Catholics justify BOWING and OFFERING INCENSE to the statues/icons of saints? Shouldn't all glory go to GOD and not SAINTS? Aren't these IDOLS?

Today on the Pod, the Armchair Exegete (Nico) fleshes out the biblical theology behind making images/statues/icons of saints and giving forms of honor to them. Surprisingly, the answer is deeply rooted in Israel's use of images in Temple Worship and the consequences of theosis ('becoming more like God') that enables a saint in Heaven to become a reflection of God that can be honored liturgically in a way that glorifies God. Hope you enjoy!
