Go Rebuild My Church
”Go Rebuild My Church.” In these Podcasts, we explore ways to put into practice the words spoken to St. Francis of Assisi by our Lord Jesus and how this theme is relevant as we seek to bring renewal to the Church today! Leslie’s and my passion for renewal was ignited when we returned to the Catholic Church 14 years ago. And that is when we heard the call to rebuild and joined efforts with many other renewal movements within the Church. You can learn more about our journey home and our lay apostolate dedicated to renewal in the Catholic Church by visiting our website at www.catholicdiscipleshipministries.org. Our prayer is through the ministry of this Podcast program and our lay apostolate we can provide pathways for you to join the rebuilding process and experience renewal. We want to welcome listeners joining us for the first time. In our podcasts, we look at the sacred scripture, excerpts from the catechism, the lives of the saints, and the teaching of the Church, as we seek to challenge individuals, families, and local parishes to Rebuild and Renew the Catholic Faith here in America.

This week, Peter and Leslie follow St. Paul and Silas as they preach the Gospel in Thessalonica. The city's mob creates an uproar and declares that the men who have "turned the world upside down have come here also." They accuse the apostolic team of claiming, "There is another king, Jesus!" To rebuild and renew the Church here in the West, the Gospel of the Kingdom and the declaration of Jesus as King must be rebuilt in our message and mentality. The Doane helps us understand the Kingdom of God this week and lays a foundation for this message to reignite the Church!

This week,, Peter and Leslie discuss the difference between praise and worship. Jesus told the Samaritan woman, " True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth." Catholic worship is most perfectly experienced in the Sacrifice of the Mass. Rebuilding Catholic Worship is directly tied to the call for Catholics to return to Mass. If we are without the Mass, Catholics are without true worship!

This week, Peter and Leslie guide us on St. Paul's second missionary journey. As they minister in Philippi, St. Paul, and Silas are thrown in jail after casting out the spirit of divination of the woman following after them. At midnight, they began to praise God, and an earthquake opened the prison doors! The jailor and his whole household are saved and baptized. The call to become a person of praise is foundational for rebuilding and renewing our faith. The Doanes share how we, too, can become a people of praise.

This week, Peter and Leslie discuss St. Paul's second missionary journey. He and his new disciples, Timothy and Silas, venture out but have a surprise from the Lord! He does not allow them to go where they had determined was God's guidance. The Holy Spirit refuses to let them proceed with their initial plan. So, too, with us, the Lord sometimes guides us in a different direction than we had planned. In the Acts of the Apostles, we discover seven ways the Holy Spirit gives us divine guidance!

This week, Peter and Leslie discussed the intense dispute between St. Paul and Barnabas concerning John Mark. John Mark had abandoned the team on the first missionary journey, and Paul did not want him to join them as they ventured out again. Barnabas resisted, and a sharp disagreement took place. When we make going out on mission a priority, we face new challenges in our personal lives, families, and parishes.

This week, Peter and Leslie discuss the conclusion of St. Paul's first missionary journey. Before he and Barnabas returned home to Antioch, Syria, they visited the new believers in the new churches they planted and exhorted them to continue in the Faith. What does this mean for us today? How can we be sure our faith is growing and remaining steadfast? The Book of Acts continues to show us how to "rebuild and renew" our personal lives and parishes.

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.

Peter and Leslie follow St. Paul on his first missionary journey in this week's broadcast. Immediately, he and Barnabas encounter the magician Elymas. St. Paul confronts him and his magic arts, which are hindering the spread of the Gospel. We, too, must be on our guard against the occult in all its forms. Often, occult oppression comes in games like the Ouija board, astrology, and yoga.

This week, Peter and Leslie discuss how, practically, a local parish moves from "maintenance to mission." Barnabas and Paul had a clear strategy as they traveled on their first missionary journey. They were not random or "hit and miss" in their plans. So, too, the Church has given us a strategy for the new evangelization, directing us with a plan that leads us in our evangelistic mission
