Go Rebuild My Church

The Seventh Pillar of Catholic Discipleship: Go and Share Your Faith

Leslie and Peter discuss the seventh and final pillar of Catholic discipleship: go and share your faith. Jesus chose His disciples for two reasons: first, to be with Him, and secondly, to GO! In this podcast, both Catholics and Evangelicals are challenged to consider their walk with Jesus. Are there places where I am "going out" and reaching others? "Going out" is how we bear fruit for eternal life! The conclusion of this series will become a "life-changer" if each of us puts into practice what St. Paul said of himself to the Romans in Rom 1:14. He was literally "in debt" and repaid that debt by GOING!

The Sixth Pillar of Catholic Discipleship-Conduct Spiritual Warfare

To become a true disciple of Jesus Christ, we must learn to conduct spiritual warfare. Throughout history, the Church has been referred to as the Church Triumphant, those in heaven,  and the Church Militant, those of us on earth. Each of us is engaged in a warfare that St. Paul calls a wrestling match. In this podcast, you will both learn about the victory we have in Jesus Christ, which He secured through the Pascal Mystery, and the key ways we can appropriate His defeat of the evil one. This podcast will equip the listener to experience the victory of the Cross of Jesus and overcome the schemes of the devil!

The Fifth Pillar of Discipleship-Discover, Develop, and Deploy Your Spiritual Gifts

The Doanes present part five in their series, "Rebuilding Discipleship in the Catholic Believer." Both Catholics and Evangelicals are hearing the call to become disciples of Jesus Christ. Receiving and then functioning with the spiritual gifts the Holy Spirit pours into us may be the most neglected area in the formation of 21st-century disciples. In this podcast, you will learn both the importance of spiritual gifts and also how to discover the unique gifting that the Holy Spirit has put in you! This truth has been foundational to Leslie and me!

The Fourth Pillar of Discipleship-Receive the Sacraments of Penance and Eucharist

Peter and Leslie continue their series, " Rebuilding Discipleship in the Catholic Believer." Both Catholics and Evangelicals are hearing the call of the Holy Spirit to discipleship. Discipleship is foundational in the New Testament. Say "YES" to Jesus Christ and follow Him. We believe there are seven pillars to say "YES" to this call —a must for clergy, consecrated religious, and the laity. In this podcast, the Doanes share how sanctifying grace comes to us, particularly through the Sacraments of Penance and Eucharist. For our Evangelical listeners, this ancient truth is something we discovered when we returned to our Catholic Faith. 

The Third Pillar of Discipleship-Develop a Life of Prayer

Peter and Leslie continue their series, " Rebuilding Discipleship in the Catholic Believer." Both Catholics and Evangelicals are hearing the call of the Holy Spirit to be transformed into disciples. Discipleship was foundational to the New Testament call to say, "YES" to Jesus Christ and to follow Him. We believe there are seven essentials, or pillars, to say "YES" to this call —a must for clergy, consecrated religious, and the laity. In this podcast, the Doanes cast a vision for the importance of a consistent prayer life and offer practical tips on becoming a person of prayer. This podcast can become a life-changer!

The Second Pillar of Discipleship-Study and Learn Sacred Scripture

The Lord calls each of us to become disciples. This transformation only takes place through an intentional plan for every Catholic and Evangelical believer. It is not automatic! In this series of podcasts, Peter and Leslie discuss the biblical essentials necessary for each of us to answer the call to discipleship. Providentially, this podcast was released on September 30th, the feast of St. Jerome, who famously said this: "Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." As a believer becomes "deep in scripture", one begins to know the Lord not as a concept but as the One with whom we share intimate fellowship. 

The First Pillar of Discipleship: Encounter Jesus Christ!

Peter and Leslie firmly believe that the call to become a disciple of Jesus, not a mere believer, is at the top of the Lord's agenda. In this series, they will discuss seven pillars that will inspire Catholic and Evangelical believers to answer the call to discipleship and thereby become true instruments in the Lord's work. The first pillar is the critical starting point. We are all called to encounter and reencounter the Lord personally and dedicate our entire lives to Him. 

Mere Believer in Jesus or Radical Disciple? We Have a Choice!

In this podcast, Leslie and Peter embark on a series focused on the call for total commitment to Jesus Christ. In the Apostolic Church, those who dedicated themselves entirely to the Lord and His Kingdom were known as disciples. This call is not a one-time event; it is a daily commitment that requires each of us to say "Yes" to Christ Jesus. Catholics refer to this as the "Fiat," which signifies the "Yes" that Mary gave to the Angel Gabriel when she was asked to become the mother of the Messiah. What exactly is a disciple, and how does a disciple differ from a mere believer in Jesus? Peter and Leslie will challenge both Catholics and Evangelicals to embrace this scriptural call and say "Yes" to it.

What is a Kingdom of God Mentality? Rebuilding an Apostolic Mindset!

Peter and Leslie continue to discuss the centrality of the Kingdom of God in the life of the Apostolic Church. The Lord desires to rebuild this way of thinking in the life of the Church today. We can assure ourselves of living our faith in the Kingdom when we allow the Lord to reveal any idolatry that may have entered our Christian lives. 

What is the Kingdom of God and Why Did St. Paul Proclaim it?

Peter and Leslie discuss the Kingdom of God and why it is foundational for each of us to become disciples of Jesus Christ. This truth was the centerpiece proclaimed by Jesus and the Apostolic Church as seen in the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. Many Catholic and Evangelical believers are uncertain what the Kingdom of God is and what it means for individuals, families, and local parishes as we pray, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." This truth can transform us!
