GO REBUILD MY CHURCH- FOOD FOR THOUGHT
This week, Peter conducts a transformative interview with Brian Bibb, the Director of Mission and Discipleship for Men at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Indianapolis. Brian presents a framework for integrating mission and discipleship into the local community, a key issue in most Catholic parishes. Brian's parish gives all of us "food for thought." The interview then discusses where discovering, developing, and deploying spiritual gifts, known as charisms, is vital to the overall plan of parish life. Brian explains why charisms play a vital role in the spiritual health of individuals, families, and parishes. This area of truth is new to most Catholic believers, but instruction is necessary to move forward and become Catholic disciples! This interview will be a great blessing to all listeners!
GO REBUILD MY CHURCH- Jesus Heals Us-Part II
This week, Peter and Leslie discuss the wonderful truth that Jesus came to save and heal us. In the book of Exodus, when the Israelites left Egypt, the Lord revealed His nature as the One who heals His people. Jesus, who came to bring redemption to the planet, did many signs and wonders, most of which were healing sickness and disease. First Corinthians 12 reveals, in Greek, that there are gifts (plural) of healings (plural). This means there are different areas in which Jesus heals us and several ways He heals us. In this broadcast, the Doanes explain how these blessings are still available to His people today. We learn this week that there is an easy and non-threatening four-step way to pray for those that need healing. As we step out to pray, the Lord can do amazing acts of healing, just as He has done throughout history. All of us are surrounded by those who need our love and availability to listen and take action. This broadcast will help us to do both!

GO REBUILD MY CHURCH: A Call to Intercession-Part III
In this last three-part series, Peter and Leslie discuss the call to rebuild and renew the ministry of intercession here in our American Catholic Church. Citing the High Priestly prayer of Jesus in John 17, examples from the Acts of the Apostles, and finally in the life of a famous saint, the Doanes believe that joining our Lord in heaven as committed intercessors, the Catholic faith can begin to address the issues of poor leadership, disunity, and persecution from the world system. Throughout salvation history, there have never been unique strategies or human willpower that have brought lasting results. Instead, it has been through intercession, both in heaven and on earth, that releases what Jesus told us to pray: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
GO REBUILD MY CHURCH: A Call to Intercession-Part II
Last week, Peter and Leslie began sharing the call to understand intercession and how this practice needs to be rebuilt into our Catholic culture. We have seen two great saints of the Old Testament, Abraham, and Moses, practice powerful intercession. This led to a discussion of the Person whom the Doanes referred to as the Great Intercessor, that is, Jesus Christ. This week, Peter and Leslie share the High Priestly Intercession of our Lord as recorded in John's Gospel, chapter 17. It is here that we can discover the Lord's heart revealed through intercession. This will lead us to know what priorities we should take up when interceding for others. In the last section of this program, the Doanes share practical tools on how we can grow in this most powerful ministry- intercession!

GO REBUILD MY CHURCH: A Call to Intercession-Part I
Last week, Peter and Leslie completed their short series concerning a goal to consider for the New Year. As Catholic disciples, they challenged us to discover, develop, and deploy our spiritual gifts! Through our Baptism and Confirmation, each of us has received spiritual gifts called charisms so that we may build up the Body of Christ. Through Leslie's pursuit of her gifts, she took a spiritual gifts inventory. To her surprise, she discovered that intercession was one of her chief gifts. She realized she had indeed been a "prayer warrior" for years. This led to the Doanes, beginning this week, sharing the call for us to understand intercession and how this practice needs to be rebuilt into our Catholic culture.

GO REBUILD MY CHURCH: An Excellent Goal for the New Year-Part II
This week, Peter and Leslie continue to share a goal to consider for the New Year. As Catholic disciples, they challenge us to discover, develop, and deploy our spiritual gifts! Through our Baptism and Confirmation, each of us has received spiritual gifts called charisms so that we may build up the Body of Christ. These gifts are not earned but are to be sought after and received. The charisms are classified in the Catechism as ordinary and extraordinary! By taking a gift inventory and seeking wise counsel, we can understand what we have been called to by Jesus Christ and how we can begin to bear fruit for eternal life. Do not be afraid!

GO REBUILD MY CHURCH: An Excellent Goal for the New Year
This week, Peter and Leslie share a goal to consider for the New Year. As Catholic disciples, they challenge us to discover, develop, and deploy our spiritual gifts! Through our Baptism and Confirmation, each of us has received spiritual gifts called charisms so that we may build up the Body of Christ. According to Sacred Scripture, each of us has a part to play in that Kingdom task. The Doanes believe this truth is one of the most neglected aspects of our Catholic catechesis and should, therefore, be rebuilt into the People of God. In fact, paragraph 798 in the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that the Holy Spirit renews and builds up the Church through the charisms. This broadcast brings hope and excitement to our walk with the Lord!

GO REBUILD MY CHURCH: Celebrating the Advent and Christmas Seasons-Part V: This week, Peter and Leslie share their fifth and final show highlighting the seasons of Advent and Christmas. Living our Catholic life according to the liturgical calendar helps us be the people Jesus talked about- to be in the world, but not of it! The Doanes discuss the Octave of Christmas and how the Church has given us special feasts within that period to experience the Lord and His graces. Specifically, the feast of the Holy Family teaches us truths concerning the family that are desperately needed in the day we live. The family is under attack from all three of our enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil. In order to defeat these enemies we must look to this home in Nazareth for inspiration and guidance. This week, we share five key lessons the Holy Family teaches all Christian families so that they can both survive and thrive!
GO REBUILD MY CHURCH: Special guest Carly Brousek of Varsity Catholic: Periodically, the Doanes interview others that are doing the work of rebuilding the Church.

This ministry reaches out to athletes on campus with the Good News of Jesus Christ, while seeking to come alongside them with the unique needs of the college athlete. Carly is a gifted missionary as you will hear when you listen to the interview. Her passion for reaching athletes on campus will both inspire you as well as give all of us hope.There is a young generation of emerging Catholic missionaries that Carly Brousek certainly represents so well. Listen and be encouraged!
Celebrating the Advent and Christmas Seasons-Part IV - This week, Peter and Leslie compete a short series on the Advent and Christmas Seasons. The Doanes give a historical and theological background for our celebration of Christmas and the Christmas Season. The seed of secularism has, over time, seeped into our celebration of Christmas not only in the culture at large but in the Catholic Church as well. Today we discuss how Catholic disciples can indeed put Christ back into Christmas. This broadcast will be a blessing to the entire family and set a precedent for Christmas in the future!

Celebrating the Advent and Christmas Seasons-Part III - This week, Peter and Leslie continue a short series on the Advent and Christmas Seasons. The Doanes give a historical and theological background for our celebration of Christmas and the Christmas Season. Many have bought into the narrative that Christmas is celebrated on December 25 to replace a pagan holiday. To the surprise of many, this may not be historically accurate! Early Church writings indicate something different. Along with its history, Christmas celebrates one of the great dogmas of the Catholic Faith- the Incarnation. This week, we discuss exactly why the Faithful bow before the Lord at every Mass on Sunday when we confess, "For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man." May we all keep the Feast with great vigor and understanding!
"TRADITION - CHRISTMAS AND OTHERWISE" - Marc Tuttle and Kent Blandford look at the concept of tradition as it applies to the holidays and our handing down of the faith.

The Doanes discuss an often neglected truth in Catholic belief: The Second Coming of our Lord Jesus! Both in the New Testament, as well as the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the call to be alert and watchful for the Lord's return is without question. How are we to prepare for the Second Coming? What will the Church have to endure before the Lord returns? These questions and others are addressed in the critical broadcast. Listen, and then be on the alert!

Nothing less will change our culture and world!

The era of church history in which we find ourselves today, was prophesied by then Fr. Joseph Ratzinger in 1969.

Rebuilding a Missional Church-Part VI - This week, Peter and Leslie continue their series of broadcasts, Rebuilding a Missional Church! After encountering the Lord Jesus, the next step is building a personal relationship with Him. That relationship will become the basis for us to develop "our story" of how Jesus changed our lives. The question becomes, when and where does the Lord want me to share my story? How will I know the time is right? Sacred Scripture teaches a powerful metaphor-the Open Door! Over 400 times the bible speaks of or alludes to "doors." St. Paul teaches us in the book of Colossians that "doors" are opportunities for spreading the Good News. Listen as the Doanes help make it very clear and practical on the "when" and "where" God gives us an open door!

After encountering the Lord Jesus, the next step is building a personal relationship with Him. That relationship will become the basis for us to develop "our story" of how Jesus changed our lives. Peter and Leslie share how stories are powerful and how God has "hardwired" the human brain to respond to stories in a way that facts and statistics do not compare. Putting together our personal story is an important exercise so we can be prepared to share the Lord's life with those He may send us to. A Missional Church will consist of not just a few who share the story of salvation with others. But rather, that characteristic will be in every true Catholic believer! The Lord is preparing a People who will be His instruments in these challenging yet exciting times in which we live. Will you volunteer to serve Him?

Rebuilding a Missional Church-Part IV -This week, Peter and Leslie continue their series of broadcasts, Rebuilding a Missional Church! When St. Peter confessed that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the Living God, he took the first step necessary to follow Jesus. But that would only be the beginning. Following Jesus would mean developing a personal relationship with Him. This would take place on the Lord's terms and not Peter's. So, too, with us, we are called to not only an initial commitment to our Lord, following the pattern we see in St. Peter. We are also called to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through the patterns we see in Sacred Scripture and the Saints' lives. The Lord is a builder and a rebuilder. His plan is to rebuild His Church as a "missional church" by creating a company of Catholic disciples who have a deep and profound personal relationship with Him!

Rebuilding a Missional Church-Part III -This week, Peter and Leslie continue their new series of broadcasts, Rebuilding a Missional Church! When Jesus first spoke of building His Church, he did so at Caesarea Phillipi, where paganism, perversion, idolatry, and the "gates of hell" were fully displayed. There, St. Peter made his prototype confession of who Jesus was, the Christ, Son of the living God! There, Jesus said He would build His Church and that the gates of hell would not prevail against it. This portion of Sacred Scripture not only sets in motion the events for building the Church, but it also has the necessary dynamics to rebuild the Lord's Church in our generation. Everything that was taking place at Caesarea Phillipi has significance for us today if we are indeed going to rebuild the Catholic Church here in the West. Today's broadcast will give us a vision of how we can begin to enter this rebuilding call from Jesus Christ!

The proceeds from the Cancer Care Cup assist oncology patients and caregivers with the everyday expenses they incur while receiving treatment. As a Pancreatic cancer survivor Danny and his family know firsthand the impact a cancer diagnosis has spiritually, physically, emotionally and financially. In 2012 at the age of 39 Danny Terril was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, probably one of the most deadly of all types of cancers. While pancreatic cancer survival rates have been improving the disease is still considered largely incurable. For all stages of pancreatic cancer combined, the one year relative survival rate is 20% and the five year rate is 7%. - Since the inception of Cancer Care Cup in 2017, we have contributed over $200,000 to patient assistance funds to help with expenditures that would otherwise be financially difficult for the patient or their caregivers. With overwhelming support & generosity from our communities and partners such as you, we can continue to help oncology patients and their caregivers.

Ms. Weddell shares how we have entered into a new epoch, one where Catholics no longer live within a culture that is affected by faith. The Church must now realize that the call to be on "mission" is not optional but necessary if we are to be faithful to the Gospel. Listeners will be encouraged and challenged to "grow up in all aspects unto Jesus Christ."

Rebuilding Discipleship in the Catholic Parish-Part VIII - This week, Peter and Leslie complete their series, “Rebuilding Discipleship in the Catholic Parish.” The call to discipleship is relatively new in the Catholic milieu yet ancient in its origin. The Doane’s have introduced what they refer to as the seven pillars of Catholic discipleship. The seventh and final pillar is “Go and Share Your Faith.” When we complete the journey of growing from a Catholic believer to a Catholic disciple, the Lord sends us out on mission. That mission is for us to give back all that Jesus Christ has given to us. St. Paul referred to himself as a "debtor" in Romans chapter one. He was in debt because of what the Lord had accomplished for him and he in turn was obligated to give back by bearing fruit in sharing the Good News with others. This week's broadcast will complete the call for each of us to become a disciple so we in turn can make disciples of others. "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations." (Matthew 28)

Rebuilding Discipleship in the Catholic Parish-Part VII -
This week, Peter and Leslie continue their series, “Rebuilding Discipleship in the Catholic Parish.” The call to discipleship is relatively new in the Catholic milieu, yet ancient in its origin. The Doane’s have introduced what they are referring to as the seven pillars of Catholic discipleship. The sixth pillar is “Conduct Spiritual Warfare.” Sacred Scripture teaches us that we have an enemy that seeks whom he may devour. That enemy is the devil, the fallen angels, and demons. If we take a passive approach toward the prince of darkness and his minions, we will suffer defeat, both individually, in families, and local parishes. With the victory that Jesus brought to us through the Pascal Mystery, as well as what He did and taught, we are called to engage the forces of evil and manifest His victory over them. A Catholic disciple must confront the darkness and bring the triumph of Jesus Christ into the spheres in which he or she lives. This broadcast will help all listeners to become confident to engage in this critical call of discipleship!

She describes the unbelievable details of how kids can be sold into sex trafficking, which are not what the average American might think, and the difficulty in keeping them safe as there are so few places where they can find a loving, faith-filled home after being rescued. The website is https://www.lion195.org/.
Rebuilding Discipleship in the Catholic Parish-Part VI - This week, Peter and Leslie continue their series, “Rebuilding Discipleship in the Catholic Parish.” The call to discipleship is relatively new in the Catholic milieu. The Doane’s have introduced what they are referring to as the seven pillars of Catholic discipleship. The fifth pillar is “Discover, Develop, and Deploy Your Spiritual Gifts.” This fifth pillar may be the one that is most under taught in Catholic catechesis. Each of us has received a specific charism from the Lord in order to serve Him and build up the Body of Christ. Yet we have a personal responsibility to pursue and cultivate these gifts from the Lord. This broadcast will help Catholics to understand they have been gifted by the Lord with a specific charism and the Lord will use each of us to build and rebuild the Church through exercising our individual gifts. Through Sacred Scripture and the Catholic Catechism we can hear the call to "step out" and exercise the gifts the Lord has bestowed on each of us!

The fourth pillar is “Receive the Sacraments of Confession and Eucharist.” Recent national surveys have given some dire statistics on these two Sacraments and the place they take in the lives of the Faithful. This week the Doane’s offer the wisdom of the saints and the truth of sanctifying grace that will inspire us to see anew the gifts of these two Sacraments! Let's rebuild our understanding of these two gifts to help us become Catholic disciples!

God‘s Plan for Healing our Loneliness-Part 3 - This week, Peter and Leslie continue to address the "front-page news" concerning the epidemic of loneliness in America. Loneliness produces mental and emotional problems and even physical problems of heart disease, strokes, dementia, and early death! In the early 1980s, Mother Teresa pointed out that every nation and every culture had its poorest of the poor. She said in America, this poverty was loneliness! How prophetic she was. Unfortunately, this poverty of loneliness affects not only those in the culture but also those in our Church. This week, we look at the Lord’s second antidote for loneliness and social isolation-rebuilding biblical friendships. It is incredible the number of saints who befriended other saints as friends. We will discover five of those and the amazing testimony of their friendships. In the Old Testament, we discover how David and Jonathan had a friendship that becomes a model for friendship in the New Testament! Learn how we can discover biblical friendships that can last forever!

Our Lady of America - Part 2 - In this show, Gordon Smith interviews Al Langsenkamp about 'Our lady of America', or more formally known as, 'Our Lady, The Immaculate Virgin, Patroness of America', a private revelation. We visit the site of the alleged apparitions, which started in 1956 at Kneipp Springs near Rome City, Indiana, as were related to a Precious Blood Sister, Sr. Mary Ephrem. This fascinating story goes into the 'indwelling of the Holy Spirit', a devotion of recognition that the Holy Spirit is in us long after we have received the Eucharist.
God‘s Plan for Healing our Loneliness-Part 2 -This week, Peter and Leslie continue to address the "front-page news" concerning the epidemic of loneliness in America. Loneliness produces mental and emotional problems and even physical problems of heart disease, strokes, dementia, and early death! In the early 1980s, Mother Teresa pointed out that every nation and every culture had its poorest of the poor. She said that in America, this poverty was loneliness! How prophetic she was. Unfortunately, this poverty of loneliness affects not only those in the culture but also those in our Church. This week we continue to look at the Lord’s antidote for loneliness and social isolation. Both in the Gospels with Jesus, and then in the Acts of the Apostles, we see that the early Christians met together, both in the temple and house to house. This broadcast will help the listeners see the importance of small groups, and the importance of having friends that we regularly meet with to share lives together. Bringing this dimension into each of our lives, becomes a life changer!

Unfortunately, this poverty of loneliness affects not only those in the culture but also those in our Catholic Church. But, Peter and Leslie share there is Good News-the Lord has an antidote to loneliness. In the Church, God has, since the beginning, built into His People a relational structure, small groups, where we can experience fellowship, friendship, community, brotherhood, and sisterhood! This broadcast will cause us to "step back" and look at this 2,000-year-old emphasis on relationships that the Holy Spirit is again bringing to our attention!

We visit the site of the alleged apparitions, which started in 1956 at Kneipp Springs as were related to a Precious Blood Sister, Sr. Mary Ephrem. This fascinating story has several Indiana ties, as Sr. Mary Ephram was in convent in Rome City, Indiana, which was also where Bishop Noll resided in the summer as he planned for and completed the National Basilica. Bishop Fulton Sheen would stop on this way there on his way to New York. Fr. Leibold, who was Sister Mary Ephram's spiritual director, later became Bishop of Evansville, Indiana and the Archbishop of Cincinnati.

In this week's broadcast, they share the tools for rebuilding the Catholic family as the domestic church given by the United States Catholic Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The Doanes believe this series of broadcasts can become literal "life changers" for the Catholic family. This week, as we look at the tools provided by the US Catholic Bishops, the Catholic Family will become encouraged that they too can become a part of this powerful movement to make their families nothing less than a church, a domestic church.

This series can become a "life-changer" and give Catholic families the tools to rebuild and renew the life of Jesus Christ in their homes.

Over the past 50 years the Church has experienced decline in several areas that are connected with the family. The Doane’s discuss those statistics not as a condemnation but rather as a wake up call for all of us. Pope Saint John Paul II and Benedict XVI laid the theological foundations for building the Catholic family as the domestic church. These statistics that express the present decline will motivate us to lay these foundations and create practical tools to help restore the family.

JOSEPH: THE WONDERS OF OUR SPIRITUAL FATHER WITH AUTHOR FATHER DONALD CALLOWAY - OUR GUEST FATHER DONALD CALLOWAY, NATIONAL SPEAKER TALKS WITH FAITH IN ACTION CO-HOSTS BRIGID AYER AND JIM GANLEY, ABOUT HIS CONVERSION AND HIS NEW BOOK CONSECRATION TO ST.

JOSEPH THE WEBPAGE IS www.consecrationtostjoseph.org/ AND FATHER CALLOWAY’S WEBPAGE IS www.fathercalloway.com/ TO HEAR FATHER CALLOWAY’S CONVERSION STORY, THE LINK IS HERE.
Rebuilding the Family as the Domestic Church: Part V - This week Peter and Leslie continue their series on the family. Pope St. John Paul II not only shared a powerful vision of what the Catholic Family was created to be but his successor, Benedict XVI did as well. He taught us that the family was first and foremost called to be Christocentric-that is, to be built on the foundation of an encounter with Jesus Christ. At the 7th World Meeting of Families in Milan, in 2012, Pope Benedict shared the key elements that created the family as a domestic church. This series is both theological and practical and will stir the hearts and minds of parents to become all that the Lord has in mind for their family to become a domestic church! If you are just listening for the first time, be sure to listen to the previous podcasts on this important topic. It will be a life-changer!

Rebuilding the Family as the Domestic Church: Part IV - This week Peter and Leslie continue their new series on the family. Pope St. John Paul II shared a powerful vision of what the Catholic Family was created to be at the very beginning of time. He taught us that the family was indeed the Domestic Church with a mandate to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. Today, amid unprecedented confusion about what the family is to be and do, the Pope has prophetically prepared us to know both the theological and practical foundations for Catholic families precisely so that they can build a lasting legacy. The Doanes have taught about the family's central role in God's purposes for years. Today's broadcast explores how Pope St. John Paul II renews the ancient truth of the "church in miniature." This series is both theological and practical and will stir the hearts and minds of parents to become all that the Lord has in mind for their family to become a domestic church!

The Seven Churches of Revelation Part XVII: The Seventh Church of Revelation: Laodicea - Peter and Leslie complete their discussion of the seventh and final Church in the Apocalypse, the Church at Laodicea. We see this church received the most severe rebuke and warning from Jesus Christ. But also, they receive abundant hope if they repent! Jesus said that He stands at the door and knocked. This becomes the way out of their severe condition of syncretism and He offers them communion and fellowship if they will open the doors of their hearts and lives. So too, we as 21st Century Catholic Christians, must follow the example of these first-century Catholics! If we take specific steps to come out of being lukewarm, and let Jesus come into "our world", we will experience His forgiveness, blessing, and affirmation of our Lord!

The Seven Churches of Revelation Part XVI - The Seventh Church of Revelation: Laodicea - Peter and Leslie continue their discussion of the seventh and final Church in the Apocalypse, the Church at Laodicea. We see this church received the most serious rebuke and warning from Jesus Christ. Many present-day thought leaders believe this church prophetically pictures the Church here in the United States, today. And yet, if they repent, they receive the greatest rewards! Jesus began by calling them out for being in total unreality concerning their spiritual condition The Lord uses the geographical setting of the city, their economic forces, and the culture present there, to address their fallen condition. Can we imagine what the leadership of this Catholic congregation imagined when they read this letter? This second of a three-part series on the church at Laodicea will cause conviction, repentance, and hope to fill all those who heed what the Spirit is saying to the churches! Next week we will explore the wonderful promises given to this Church if they repent!

And yet, if they repent, they received the greatest rewards! Of all the seven churches, the Doane's believe this church most represents the state of the American Catholic Church today. Jesus began by calling them out for being in total unreality concerning their spiritual condition. They thought they were rich, prosperous, and in need of nothing. Little did they know how the Lord, with perfect knowledge and insight, thought of them. This final, three-part series on the church at Laodicea, will cause conviction, repentance, and hope to fill all those who heed what the Spirit is saying to the churches!

This week, the Doane's discuss how this church did not deny the Name of Jesus. The Name of Jesus opens up doors of power, forgiveness, encounter, and deliverance! The Church honors the Name of Jesus every January. The symbol for the name of Jesus, IHS, has been a symbol that calls each of us, for centuries, to honor the Lord's Name. Remember, Christ is His title, but Jesus is His Name!

Jesus reveals Himself as the one Who has the seven spirits of God! He is the one who baptizes in the Holy Spirit. This Church receives a stern warning from the Lord. They have a reputation for being alive in Jesus Christ, but they are spiritually dead. They have replaced the apostolic faith with a form of godliness that denies its power. Two times, Jesus tells the believers to "wake up," This week, the Doane's focus on "solutions-based" answers to the Church at Sardis! Jesus called the church to "wake up," and what does that mean? Waking up, spiritually, involves three key components that we receive from the Apostolic Faith: Personal devotions, receiving the Sacraments of Confession and Eucharist, and engaging in the re-evangelization of the faithful!

The Seven Churches of Revelation Part X - How the Church was Infiltrated by the Occult - Peter and Leslie again discuss the Church of Thyatira this week in Revelation chapter two. Jesus gave the church strong commendations for the five aspects of their spiritual life. But then, Jesus gave them a strong correction that is most serious: they tolerated the prophetess Jezebel and her teachings. The teachings of this false prophetess were bringing some to practice idolatry and sexual immorality. Jesus told the church that the "deep things of Satan" were a part of the tolerance within this congregation. Today, again, the occult, like the Trojan horse, has found its way into Catholic families and parishes. We must identify Satan's "most dangerous game" and root out Satan's strategies to oppress the People of God!

The Seven Churches of Revelation Part VIII - This week, Peter discusses the Church of Pergamum in Revelation chapter two. There were three groups Jesus addressed in this church. Last week, the two groups we looked at were displeasing to Jesus. They have given themselves to sexual sins and practiced idolatry. So also, today Catholic Christians have a huge battle that must be waged and won: the battle against pornography. Pornography is a spiritual plague affecting, clergy, consecrated religious, and laypeople alike. This multi-billion dollar satanic business must be identified as a clear and present danger to individuals, families, and parishes. Last week, Peter shared the problem pornography plays in the culture. This week, we focus on being solutions-oriented. How do we get free from porn addiction? Peter gives a step-by-step plan for deliverance and freedom. This battle is one every Catholic Christian must engage in!
SONS OF MELCHIZEDEK – On this episode of Sons of Melchizedek, a show highlighting priests in the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana and the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, we talk Father Tim Decrane from St. Rose of Lima, Franklin, Indiana.

The Seven Churches of Revelation Part VII - This week, Peter discusses the Church of Pergamum in Revelation chapter two. There were three groups Jesus addressed in this church. Last week, we saw one of the groups in this local parish was faithful to the Lord. The two groups we look at this week are displeasing to Jesus. They have given in to sexual sins and are practicing idolatry. So also, today Catholic Christians have a huge battle that must be waged and won: the battle against pornography. Pornography is a spiritual plague affecting, clergy, consecrated religious, and laypeople alike. This multi-billion dollar satanic business must be identified as a clear and present danger to individuals, families, and parishes. Just as the church in Pergamum had to turn away from sexual sins, so too, countless Catholics caught up in this grave sin must seek forgiveness, deliverance, and healing from the Lord and His mighty power to save.

The Seven Churches of Revelation Part VI - Peter introduces the third Church in the series this week, the Church at Pergamum. Jesus comes to this church, announcing He is the One Who had the two-edged sword! This parish at first is commended because there is a group within the church that remains faithful to Jesus amidst being surrounded by extreme idolatry within the city. The throne of Satan, as well as the emperor's worship, contends against the people of God. There is also a faithful bishop, Antipas, who gives his life up to martyrdom rather than compromise the Faith. Just as those saints of old had to reject the temptation of idolatry, so too, must we in this 21st-century western culture, be aware of the idols that surround us, and reject them. Jesus was very aware of the lifestyle of His people at the church at Pergamum and He evaluated it. So, too, He does with us and our parish!

The Seven Churches of Revelation Part V - This week, Peter discusses the second church in the book of Revelation, the church in Smyrna. This is the only one of two churches that Jesus only commends and does not call to repentance. In this church, the Christians are being persecuted and some are thrown in prison. This broadcast helps us, as believers, to know that severe persecution is taking place throughout the world among our brothers and sisters. We cannot remain passive. Rather, we have a biblical responsibility to remember the suffering throughout the world of our brethren in the faith. How do we do that? Pray, pray, pray! The book of Hebrews chapter 3 verse 3 reminds us: “remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.“

During this broadcast, the Doanes help our listening audience to have a working knowledge of the book as well as an understanding of why this scripture is so important to our Catholic journey. Reading this apocalyptic book will become a life changer and help us out of a secular mentality into a Christian spiritual mentality!

Our Lady of America - Part 2 - In this show, Gordon Smith interviews Al Langsenkamp about 'Our lady of America', or more formally known as, 'Our Lady, The Immaculate Virgin, Patroness of America', a private revelation. We visit the site of the alleged apparitions, which started in 1956 at Kneipp Springs near Rome City, Indiana, as were related to a Precious Blood Sister, Sr. Mary Ephrem. This fascinating story goes into the 'indwelling of the Holy Spirit', a devotion of recognition that the Holy Spirit is in us long after we have received the Eucharist.
SONS OF MELCHIZEDEK – On this episode of Sons of Melchizedek, a show highlighting priests in the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana and the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, we talk with Father Guy Roberts, Pastor St. Barnabas Parish, Indianapolis.
Our Lady of America - Part 1 - In this show, Gordon Smith interviews Al Langsenkamp about 'Our Lady of America', or more formally known as, 'Our Lady, The Immaculate Virgin, Patroness of America'. We visit the site of the alleged apparitions, which started in 1956 at Kneipp Springs as were related to a Precious Blood Sister, Sr. Mary Ephrem. This fascinating story has several Indiana ties, as Sr. Mary Ephram was in convent in Rome City, Indiana, which was also where Bishop Noll resided in the summer as he planned for and completed the National Basilica. Bishop Fulton Sheen would stop on this way there on his way to New York. Fr. Leibold, who was Sister Mary Ephram's spiritual director, later became Bishop of Evansville, Indiana and the Archbishop of Cincinnati.

The Book of Revelation Calls Us to Rebuild Part IV - This week, Peter and Leslie discuss the church at Ephesus and Jesus’s call for this parish to repent. They had left their “First Love” and because they did their lamp stand or light was about to be removed. If the first love is lost, we must return to that place of our initial love for Jesus Christ that we saw pictured in the first church built after Pentecost in Jerusalem. We can also see this love spoken of by Saint Paul in First Corinthians 13. If we use that portion of scripture as a mirror it will help us like a compass does as it points us in the right direction. Finally , we see our Lord Jesus call Saint Peter back to the first love in John 21 in his post resurrection appearance. Through the honesty of Saint Peter, saying that in his own person he is incapable of walking in this first love, the agape. We learned that it’s only through the transformation that comes from following Jesus that any of us are capable of walking in this love.

The Book of Revelation Calls Us to Rebuild Part III - This week Peter and Leslie begin to describe the seven churches of Revelation. The Church of Ephesus is a significant church among the churches of Asia- a "Mother Church." When Jesus speaks to them He commends them for their endurance, their hatred of evil, their labor, and their doctrinal purity. But, they have a serious flaw-they have left their "first love." The Doanes share from their personal journeys what the first love is and how we too can identify those characteristics that express this love that the Lord shows is so critical to pleasing Him!

St. Paul at the End of the Acts of the Apostles - This week, Peter and Leslie conclude their series, "The Call to Return to Biblical Christianity." At the conclusion of the Acts of the Apostles, Acts chapter 28. St. Luke described St. Paul during his two-year imprisonment in Rome. He was staying in rented quarters, chained to a Roman soldier, yet receiving all who came to him, proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching all about the Lord Jesus Christ. Scholars point out that St, Luke does not end his writing with a conclusion but rather is open-ended, implicitly telling us this activity must go on in the Church, until the end of time! As we seek to rebuild and renew the Catholic Church here in America, we cannot improve what the Apostle models for us, but rather seek to replicate the message and boldness of St. Paul in the twenty-first century!

St. Paul Shipwrecked in Malta and Why That Matters: This week Peter and Leslie begin to share the final chapter in the Acts of the Apostles. St. Paul and his companions shipwreck on the Isle of Malta. Here, as we see the Apostle move in the Holy Spirit with signs, wonders, and healings, we note that St. Luke implicitly states the major themes throughout the Acts: the power of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles preach the Kerygma, and the Church is established to carry on the mission. These three themes were not only demonstrated to those on Malta, but are imparted to us, as we seek to be the People of God on mission. The Holy Spirit, the chief protagonist among these early believers, calls us to rebuild and renew these three themes, today, in our lives, our families, and our parishes!

What We Learn From St. Paul as He Faced Disaster - St. Paul appealed to Caesar and was a prisoner sent to Rome. In the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 27, the ship carrying Paul and his companions faced a horrendous storm. Eventually, the vessel is broken up, but all 276 passengers survive on the Island of Malta. In the midst of the storm at sea, St. Paul exhibits seven powerful traits that helped him in the midst of this harrowing event. We too, face the storms of life. If we are to both survive our personal "storms" and help those around us as St. Paul did, we must adopt those same traits, St. Paul modeled for us!

St. Paul Inspires Us to Discover Our Conversion Story - In the Acts of the Apostles, St. Paul's conversion story becomes one of the sub-themes in the book. The Church teaches us his conversion is indeed important enough to warrant a feast day, January 25th. This week Peter and Leslie present a practical tool so that every Catholic disciple can both learn their conversion story and then, like St. Paul, share that story and open up doors for the Gospel.

St. Paul Meets with the Ephesian Elders - This week Peter and Leslie discuss the powerful gathering in Miletus between Paul and the elders of the church at Ephesus. St. Paul poured his heart out to these leaders and as he did, we are able to see the standard God gives to the Catholic priesthood. Paul offered himself as a model of godly leadership and gave five key aspects of his example. He also gave three exhortations to the Elders. Through St. Paul's virtuous leadership and his powerful exhortations, we can therefore develop eight specific prayers for our priests based on this encounter. Finally, Peter introduces the prayer St. Faustina prayed for priests. Amazingly, this prayer contains many of the aspects of St. Paul's address to the Ephesian Elders!

Why Signs and Wonders are Important Today - This week, Peter and Leslie follow St. Paul on his third missionary journey. He plants a church in Ephesus and a great number come to the Lord and the Church. The Holy Spirit releases great power through signs and wonders. Even the aprons and handkerchiefs of St. Paul cause the sick to be healed and demons to be cast out. Signs and wonders have been demonstrated throughout the history of the Church in order to confirm the proclamation of the Gospel and also to express the Lord's mercy and love toward His People. Today, the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit is available to Catholic believers who call on His Name! This program will help begin a search for these graces to operate in our individual, family, and parish lives.

St. Paul and Catechesis - This week St. Paul completes the second missionary journey in the Acts of the Apostles and begins the third.

Conversion must lead to catechesis and catechesis leads to ongoing conversion. Without both these dynamics working in the life of believers and parishes, renewal will not take place.
