Why The Ascension Matters-The God Man is at the Right Hand of the Father

Peter and Leslie discuss why the Ascension matters to our faith journey. Stop, and think-there is a Man in heaven, the God-Man, Jesus Christ. When He appeared to St. John in Revelation chapter 1, John fell at His feet like a dead man. He is the one who had leaned on Jesus' breast. The Ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven gives the believer hope in our own future and confidence in this life, knowing that the God-Man is at the Right Hand of the Father, interceding for us!

Why the Easter Season Matters-Fifty Days to Reflect on the Resurrection

Throughout history, the Church understood that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ changed everything. In this podcast, Peter and Leslie discuss the effects of the resurrection on the personal lives of Christian believers. We are called to a resurrection mindset. St. Paul tells us that if Christ has not been raised, then our faith is futile and we are still in our sins (1 Corinthians 15:14). He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!

Make Holy Week Matter-Rediscover the Centrality of the Cross

Scripture teaches us that "today is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2). We must make the most of the time the Lord gives us. In this podcast, Peter and Leslie discuss how Holy Week gives us a new opportunity to rediscover the crucifixion of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Holy Week is not just some memorial or remembrance of past blessings. Rather, it is a call to encounter anew what Jesus did for us on the Cross. Let us join St. Paul, who, above all things in Christianity, that can be highlighted, he said: But may it never be that I should boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ ( Galatians 6:14).

Why Lent Matters-the Call to Ongoing Conversion

Peter and Leslie share the second part of their Lenten series. Both Catholics and, now, Evangelicals are choosing to walk this path for these forty days before Easter. In this podcast, the Doanes discuss how the call to conversion is not a one-time event but rather a determined mindset for all God's People as they follow their Lord and Savior. Everyone will benefit as they say YES to this shared scriptural truth and build confidence to appear before Jesus when He calls us!

Taking Down the High Places During Lent

Peter and Leslie open a critical dialogue about a stumbling block that has plagued God's People, both in the Old and New Testaments. The issue is called syncretism. Syncretism is the union of the true faith with the surrounding worldly culture. There is no better time than Lent to allow the Holy Spirit to come and search our hearts and set us free. As Lent 2026 begins, this podcast will help each of us find the small gate and narrow path that Jesus called us to. Let's tear down the High Places!

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!
