PODCAST

This podcast is a response to St. Francis of Assisi’s summons to rebuild God’s Church and is for those who long to restore the luster of the Church. We explore how this theme is astonishingly relevant today. In each session, we examine sacred scripture, excerpts from the catechism, the lives of the saints, and the teaching of the Church, and challenge our listeners to join the call to rebuild and renew the Catholic faith here in America.

Our prayer is that through the ministry of this podcast and our lay apostolate, Go Rebuild My Church, we can provide pathways for you to participate in the rebuilding process and experience renewal.

In the second part of a two-part series, Peter and Leslie discuss the encounters both St. Peter and St. Paul experienced in the Acts of the Apostles with practitioners of sorcery and the occult. Although these encounters took place 2,000 years ago, Satan still today tries to trap Catholics into engaging in the occult. This often manifests through games, entertainment, eastern meditation, and media. This broadcast will help you recognize these schemes of Satan and give steps to be set free.
