  • John Kim episode

    Love the show and listen to every episode. The most recent John Kim episode is terrible. Kim has raised over a billion dollars for his ai developments. His opinions are null and this episode was nothing more than a shill campaign. I hope episodes like this aren’t a reoccurring thing.

  • Great Podcast

    I really appreciate the podcast. I’ve been tuning in weekly. I was raised Catholic but now am Protestant. I’ve read and watched a lot about deliverance over the years but this helps to display how bizarre the enemy can be, and in a lot of instances it’s not just a simple 30 second prayer and laying on of hands to get deliverance like many Protestant ministers talk about. It’s definitely helping to build faith. After listening to these I would assume that there are many people living through bad... more

  • Enjoying Until…

    Great podcast, until Father Martins started ranting about “abortion mills” between seasons 1 and 2. What an insincere and disrespectful way to discuss the issue of abortion. Shows he’s more concerned with rhetoric than actually helping solve anything concerning abortion.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Nature of Demons, Justice, and Forgiving Others With Fr. Gregory Pine
Q: How should Christians respond to injustice or vengeance in light of turning the other cheek?
Turned cheek does not mean passivity; one should pursue justice, but subordinate it to charity, uniting suffering with Christ and seeking heavenly rather than purely earthly vindication.
The Nature of Demons, Justice, and Forgiving Others With Fr. Gregory Pine
Q: What is the Catholic view on vocation in light of freedom and divine providence?
God knows what will happen and ordains paths, yet respects human freedom; discernment involves choosing a path that aligns with one's gifts and God's plan, within limits set by creation and grace.
The Nature of Demons, Justice, and Forgiving Others With Fr. Gregory Pine
Q: Can demons, and will they, try to stop you from finding your vocation?
Demons can propose distractions and temptations from outside, but they cannot read minds or control the will; discernment remains possible with God's help, and vocation unfolds within the divine plan and our free choices.
The Lindsay Clancy Case, The Voice of God and Praying For Your Home
Q: What would you say to listeners who might want a definitive sign from God about such a tragedy or about discerning what happened?
God can speak in multiple ways—through scripture, tradition, prayer, and inner impressions—and discernment involves patience, humility, and not forcing a single interpretation; the right approach is to seek God's will while remaining open to various forms of guidance and avoiding certainty when evidence is lacking.
The Lindsay Clancy Case, The Voice of God and Praying For Your Home
Q: So father, what are your thoughts on this? Is there a possibility of demonic involvement in the Lindsay Clancy case, or should we expect natural explanations?
The discussion centers on evaluating the facts publicly available and concludes there is no solid evidence tying the case to demonic causation; mental illness and brain/chemical factors are plausible explanations, while acknowledging that the devil may be interested in such tragedies but not necessarily the cause.
