    <![CDATA[<p>Do you want to hear a priest speak from his heart? In this episode, Jeff shares the final homily of Fr. Mark Beard who recently passed after a tragic car accident. Although unaware that the end of his life was near, Fr. Beard’s homily was filled with truth and came straight from his heart. He encouraged his congregation to get off the fence and make a choice: God or not God.</p>

<p>What do we do in the midst of chaos? How do we handle the daily anxiety that life tries to throw at us on so many different levels? This week, Jeff reminds us that even though life is hard and sometimes we can’t figure it out, the Word of God has the answers to help us walk the path of wisdom.</p>

<p><strong><em>Snippet from the Show</em></strong><br>
Jesus is in this with us, and if you’ll hold on to him and go deep into his Word, he will show some real, true grit in your life.</p>

We do not hand off our responsibility to be the agent of change to the politicians in our country. If the Gospel is the thing that changes hearts and we will not share that, guess what? Game over.

Snippet from the Show
"For your word, Lord, has many shades of meaning just as those who study it have many different points of view. The Lord has colored his word with many hues so that each person who studies it can see in it what he loves. He has hidden many treasures in his word so that each of us is enriched as we meditate on it."- St. Ephraim

Religious statues point to the Incarnate Word, Jesus Christ. A statue of Jesus points to salvation. We do not worship the statue, but rather use it as a tool to inspire our prayer and growth in virtue.

  <itunes:subtitle>How often do you stop to recognize how God provides for you, and how often do you ask for his provision in your life? 

Often we are quick to attribute our successes and gains to our own abilities, forgetting that nothing good that we do or have comes without God’s generous provision. Whether it’s God’s grace to advance spiritually or his provision for our physical needs, God is always with us, like a faithful father standing by his children—even though they may not realize his presence.</itunes:subtitle>

Whether it’s God’s grace to advance spiritually or his provision for our physical needs, God is always with us, like a faithful father standing by his children--even though they may not realize his presence.
In this episode of the show, Jeff reflects on how each bike he owned throughout his youth came directly by way of his father’s generosity and provision. He uses his father’s constant presence and generosity as an image to remind us how God provides for us throughout our lives.

    <![CDATA[<p>How often do you stop to recognize how God provides for you, and how often do you ask for his provision in your life? </p>

<p>Often we are quick to attribute our successes and gains to our own abilities, forgetting that nothing good that we do or have comes without God’s generous provision. Whether it’s God’s grace to advance spiritually or his provision for our physical needs, God is always with us, like a faithful father standing by his children--even though they may not realize his presence.</p>

<p>In this episode of the show, Jeff reflects on how each bike he owned throughout his youth came directly by way of his father’s generosity and provision. He uses his father’s constant presence and generosity as an image to remind us how God provides for us throughout our lives. </p>

Jeff has discovered that these stories provide opportunity for spontaneous conversations, and when guided by the Holy Spirit, can lead to evangelization. In his own experience, Jeff has had amazing encounters influenced by God that all began with ink.</itunes:subtitle>
