Go Rebuild My Church

Spiritual "Brick and Mortar" in the First Two Chapters of the Acts of the Apostles

This week Peter and Leslie discuss how the first two chapters in the Acts of the Apostles are the framework for rebuilding the Church. The Popes have called for a New Pentecost and a New Evangelization. Here, in Acts, the Holy Spirit shows us the keys to making this a reality!

How Catholic Can Begin to Reach the Lost

In this week's broadcast, Peter and Leslie discuss how the Lord added new believers to the Church, day by day. Is this even possible, today? The answer is YES if we can capture the fervor of Pentecost combined with the compassion of Jesus for lost, hurting people. Listen and learn how we as American Catholics can turn the tide and reach the lost!

Table Fellowship Among the First Christians

This week Peter and Leslie continue to explore the characteristics of the new society of believers after Pentecost. Table Fellowship, first brought to life by Jesus in the Gospels, begins to characterize these first Christians. When we eat together in the Lord, Kingdom hospitality and fellowship take place

The Grace of Detachment-How the Early Christians Related to Their Possessions

This week the Doane's continue to unpack the four characteristics of the new church in Jerusalem, following Pentecost. These early believers were radical and other-centered. The vision of detachment taught by the Apostles caused them to become generous toward the needs of others

Signs and Wonders in the Apostolic Church-Are They for Today?

This week Peter and Leslie discuss the first of four characteristics of the new church in Jerusalem founded by the Apostles following Pentecost. Signs and wonders were done through the Apostles. Amazingly, signs and wonders have continued throughout the history of the Catholic Church, up to our present-day!

Interview with Ann Corcoran-Pioneering Small Groups in Catholic Parishes

In this week's broadcast, Peter interviews Ann Corcoran, from St. Monica's Catholic Church Indianapolis. Anne is a pioneer in bringing Small Church Communities to the structure of the local parish. For years she led this small group movement within her parish working on staff with the parish leadership bringing renewal to individuals, families, and the parish. Anne challenges us to again discover the structure that helped the early Christians be a powerful witness of Jesus Christ

Small Groups in Local Parishes Build Catholic Spirituality

Today, Peter and Leslie introduce the importance of having a Small Group structure in the local parish. In the Acts of the Apostles, the new believers met both in the Temple but also, house to house. Jesus began his public ministry using Simon's house as a base. Meeting in homes has a long tradition in our Catholic history.

New Wine and New Wineskins

 Today, Peter and Leslie discuss the importance of restoring the four key spiritual disciplines seen in the Acts of the Apostles to the local parish. Jesus called us to put New Wine into New Wineskins. In order for the parish to be rebuilt, we need not improve upon what the Apostles implemented but rather seek to model the Apostles' work in our present culture and setting.

The Lifestyle of the First Christians

This week Peter and Leslie continue their series, "A Return to Biblical Christianity." After Pentecost and the descent of the Holy Spirit, the new believers joined themselves together under the leadership of the Apostles. They immediately devoted themselves to a new lifestyle. This lifestyle prepared them to change the world!

Divine Guidance and How it Works

 In this week's broadcast, Peter and Leslie discuss the important topic of how God guides us. With all the choices we face on a daily basis, knowing what the Lord wants for us can be a challenge. When we look to Scripture, we learn that God desires to guide us each and every day.
