Truth Still Matters is back with another episode focused on being opened to the Word of the Lord in the present moment! This show is taken from a talk I gave at Awaken Ministries where the mission is cultivating an experiential encounter with Jesus Christ. The night was filled praise and worship, which included singing and Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. What a glorious evening!!!! Thank you to St. Kieran and Awaken Ministries for a beautiful experience.

The Blessed Virgin Mary is a game changer in the spiritual life! As Cristians, we benefit from spiritual gifts given to us personally as well from the gifts given to others. Catholics make a big deal about Mary because of the great things God has done for Mary. But here’s the thing….God did wonderful things for Mary and then turned around and gave Mary to us!!!! You and I can benefit from all gifts given uniquely to Mary because Mary has been given to us!!! Mary is not in competition with Jesus ...

Can Christians believe in Santa?? What is more truthful between the idea of parents providing for their children vs. Santa?

As Catholic Christians, a sense of “awe” of God must be preserved and sought after. This episode of Truth Still Matters was captured a couple of years ago and is being share this Christmas so that we might be encouraged to seek afte...

It has been awhile but Truth Still Matters is back! I did not stop teaching, no way!!! Actually, I’ve been teaching at a few different places which has taken up a lot of time. I was able to capture some of this teaching, and now I would like to show various excerpts on Truth Still Matters. The 42nd episode of TSM takes us into one of my theology classes where we were studying salvation history. The love that the Trinity has for us is unfathomable. Please enjoy and share!

The “Rapture” is commonly believed in many Christian communities. Emotions of excitement and fear swirl around this commonly accepted doctrine, but does Jesus teach this? As Christians, we want to be faithful to what Jesus institutes and teaches. Please watch this episode of Truth Still Matters to discover what Jesus teaches about the Rapture as revealed in His Holy Catholic Church.

Living for Christ on a college campus is no small task. By God’s grace, I received an opportunity to reconnect with a couple of my former students who are now in college. They share their experience of living for the Lord in the midst of a world railing against God. Please watch to experience the informal conversation we had, plus experience their gift of music.

In its two-thousand-year history, the Catholic Church remains an unchanging yet developing entity. Since the church’s infancy, Catholic theologians have referenced the “deposit of faith,” which in early years referred to the written or orally revealed doctrines that formed the backbone of church teaching. Through the centuries, the definition came to be understood as the word of God, delivered through Jesus Christ and passed on to his apostles. Still, the deposit included both oral and written t...

The world will never be happy until one thing is realized. We have an insatiable desire that we try to fill with relationships, resources, and power. All of these fall immeasurable short, yet we still try these things while ignoring the one reality that will satisfy. What do we need to realize? How do we stay up in a down world? Watch the show for the answer!

Thinking for oneself is exalted in the 21st century as it should be. Humans are made in the image and likeness of God and therefore should be thinking individuals. Unfortunately, this freedom of thought is often separated from an objective standard of truth. Truth is not created in the human mind but received in the mind as a gift from Truth, which is actually a Divine Person! Many Christians think they can pick and choose what they will believe, and this is done in the name of independent thoug...

Authority is an unpopular word in today’s society. History has shown a great abuse of authority where poor innocent people suffer as a result. This has been tragic, but the abuse of authority must NEVER rule out the proper use of authority. We need authority in our lives, and this episode of Truth Still Matters explores the salvific nature of authority. Authority brings peace to our lives when we live in Christ!!!

Being spiritual but not religious is a status that is gaining a tremendous amount of traction in the world today. This vodcast takes a look at what is meant by this phrase. The show also analyzes underlying themes that may not always come to mind when the "spiritual but not religious" phrase is evoked. Should we be spiritual as opposed to religious? What would Jesus say about this distinction? What are you waiting for?? Click the play button and let's get into it! This is the two year anniversar...

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament has literally changed my life. In this episode of Truth Still Matters, my special guest and I reflect on our experience of adoring Christ in the Eucharist. Spending time in an adoration chapel is the remedy for living a life of haste. We encounter Jesus in a very up close and personal way, which is absolutely necessary for the New Evangelization. The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life!!! Please feel free to leave a comment and spread the w...

God uses the gift of poetry in Genesis to communicate why human beings are on this earth. Sooner or later everyone seeks the meaning of their lives. Happiness is sought after and often times not found. Where to find true happiness is communicated to us through the creation account in Genesis. The modern exegete must humble herself to see what God wants to communicate through the “story of origins” in Genesis. Once you discover why you are alive, you will never be the same!

This vodcast continues the journey of discovering God’s existence by simply paying attention to real life. C.S Lewis’ book “Mere Christianity” gives a great illustration of how everyday arguments between people actually points to the existence of God! Please watch and tell others about this vodcast!

To believe in God is the thinking person's position. Unfortunately, believers are not aware of what is actually meant behind the word "God". This term points to a Reality upon which everything depends. Acknowledging God's existence is not superstitious but the most reasonable stance. If you are looking for ways to address atheists and agnostics, this episode is for you!

Human beings are so messed up!!! We have been given everything and all we want to do is keep taking and taking and taking! Selfishness and pride have dug a hole for us so deep, that we cannot get out of it by our own strength. Jesus has excavated and given us new hope!!! Calvary shows us the love God has for us. This love event, Jesus' offering of His life, is made present today! How? Where? Watch the episode to find out!!!

There is a miracle that happens at every Mass! It doesn't matter how bad the music is, how boring the homily is.....God is at work!!!! Alleluia!!! The bread and wine are changed into another substance, Jesus' Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. Transubstantiation will be the topic of this vodcast. This show is a kind of "part B" to TSM #27 on the Eucharist. This show was recorded in 4K!!!!! Please allow time for downloading.

The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. Jesus intends for communion to not be just a symbol! There is biblical evidence for the Catholic belief of the Real Presence in the Eucharist. This Sacrament of Sacraments is essential for the Church to be Church. This podcast focuses on John 6 using the canonical context to show Jesus' profound mystical teaching on the Eucharist. The Old Testament is also partly explored to show how the Eucharist was foreshadowed. Spread the word abo...

The Crucified One was seen alive!!! Are you serious?? Yes, I'm serious. Let me see?!!! This is the Gospel message, Jesus died for sins and rose from death. Death is now conquered. Everything has been made anew now! The Resurrection is essential to the Christian faith. Without the Resurrection, everything falls apart in Christianity. Jesus is alive and He is call us to meet Him today! There is great hope and joy in this reality. Alleluia!!

Every human person is made for having direct access to the truth. Even before we learn to talk, we intuit reality, and this intuition never leaves us. Formal education is supposed to help our discursive reasoning that we might be able to articulate, in various means, what we "see" or intuit. Education in the 21st century must go beyond merely handing out information but I believe it must not be reduced to only facilitating. Teachers must have a vision of their subject matter, written on their he...

What did Jesus do on the day He rose from the dead? He instituted the Sacrament of Penance, the normal way in which we can be restored to an intimate relationship with the Lord. This Sacrament goes under appreciated for many Catholics and is often challenged by non Catholics. This podcast takes time to explore the biblical roots of Confession , and how this sacrament is intrinsically tied to the mission of the Church which is to carry on Christ's redemptive work.

Freedom has been so misunderstood. A democracy divorced from absolute moral values is a short route to anarchy and chaos. People view freedom as the ability to do what they want to do when they want to do it. The human person is made in the image and likeness of God and being free is a great gift. Do we understand it though? Watch this episode!
