Sorry this one is so late.  This one is about how the Gospel accounts should not be taken to believe that the apostles only believed in a "spiritual" resurrection, but they believed the Jesus bodily rose from the dead.

Happy Easter Season!  We have finally reached the end of the series on the Four Last Things.  I've saved the best for last - Heaven!  I hope that, in the end, I see all of you there.

Yes, Hell is real, and you can go there.  Of course, I do these podcasts in hopes that I can help people go the other way.  Why is there a Hell?  What is Hell like?  In this brief podcast, I'll explain it.

Here is part two of the four part series on the Four Last Things.  Whenever I hear about the different things people do, I often wonder if they realize that they will one day have to stand before God and give an account.  This podcast explains the particular and general judgment.

As promised, I'm beginning my four-part series on the four last things:  death, judgment, Hell, and Heaven.  Three of these will apply to all of us.  Hopefully, Heaven will be the third one for all of us.  I've been wanting to do a talk on this for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity.  I hope that this will be helpful to you.

As promised, here is my podcast on Confession.  Despite what people who haven't gone regularly think, it really is an awesome thing to have.  For people who want more information or a simple examination of conscience, I will give you the link to the Archdiocese of Washington DC's initiative which also includes a pastoral letter by Archbishop Wuerl.  Just click on the step-by-step guide.

Although I didn't think of it at the time, this actually goes pretty well with the anniversary of the criminally insane Roe vs. Wade decision.  It's something that is meant to give us perspective on what we seek as Christians.  The truth that sets us free is not something, but someone.  This has major implications for our faith.

Some have used this as a "God wouldn't expect this" excuse for disobeying God's laws.  This is an abuse of the truth.  Rather, we should obey because we know that the God who commanded is trustworthy.  Further, because the truth is a person, not a concept, we can ask for help and receive guidance if we are willing to listen.

I'll be back in early February with a talk on confession.

Happy New Year, but more importantly, Happy Feast Day!  This is the day of the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. Starting with this podcast, I'm using some new equipment as well as a new theme song to try to improve my production quality.  I hope you like it!  It is a work in progress as I learn to use the stuff.  Anyway, on with the show . . . today, I discuss the Catholic celebration of Christmas with special emphasis on a meditation on what being the Mother of God must have been like for Mary in the beginning.

I couldn't resist the urge to both gripe about the politically correct Generic Winter Holiday and Season's Greetings wishes and wish all my listeners a Merry Christmas. Besides, I got an advertisement that some of my coworkers seemed to think was funny, so I'm sharing it with you.  No, don't worry; I'm not recording on Christmas Eve.  This is pre-recorded.  Merry Christmas!

This is the podcast I've been most excited about posting.  I was given the  honor of talking about the Blessed Virgin Mary to Incarnation Catholic Church in Collierville, TN. I never thought I'd see the day, but I'm grateful for this opportunity.  There are so many misconceptions about what Catholics believe, from Protestants who think that we worship Mary to Catholics who think that the Immaculate Conception is Jesus' virginal conception in Mary's womb. Please listen and enjoy.
