S3 Ep 199Make Today Matter!
Too many of us get so caught up in the day-to-day routine that we never take a moment to appreciate the gift of life that the Lord has given us. We wake up, race to work, put in a full day, race home, have dinner, maybe rest for a short while, head to bed, and start the next day over in exactly the same way. The truth is, one thing is seriously lacking: we don’t enjoy our lives; we simply live our lives. Tune into this podcast as Art shares how we can get much more out of our lives when we take the time to include Jesus.

S3 Ep 198Why Family Is Necessary (Special Guest: Edgar Sandoval, CEO of World Vision)
Each of us enters this world with a mother and a father, and many of us have siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

S3 Ep 197We Are Not to Judge
We all have moments when we make judgments about others. We assess how someone is dressed, how they behave, what kind of car they drive, and other superficial aspects. While this tendency might seem minor, it often escalates when we share those judgments with others, which quickly turns into gossip. Both judging and gossiping are not only inappropriate but also contrary to Christian values. The key point is that there is only one true judge, and that is our Lord.

Listen to this podcast to discover how, with Jesus’ guidance, we can look beyond our judgments and lead much happier lives by embracing all of God’s people.

As humans, we all have doubts. We doubt ourselves, we doubt others, and at times, we doubt our faith. Doubt can lead us to negative emotions such as worry, stress, or fear.

S3 Ep 193Practicing Do-It-Yourself Religion (Special Guest: Bishop Michael Saporito)
Being a Christian is not an easy path; it is a choice we consciously make. Once we make that choice, we are obligated to follow the laws and commands of God. If we only follow certain laws and commands that suit us, we risk practicing a “Do-It-Yourself” religion. Unfortunately, our Lord does not recognize those who take this approach as true Christians. Tune in to this episode of “Let Go and Let God” to understand why it is crucial to avoid “Do-It-Yourself” religion and to learn how simple it can be to stay on the right path.

S3 Ep 192Overcoming Temptation
In today’s busy world, we face numerous temptations that can be overwhelming. The moment we go online, we can easily access websites related to gambling, pornography, and opportunities to cheat on our spouses. Throughout the day, we may encounter temptations to steal, embezzle money from the office, take advantage of someone, or engage in behaviors that are unacceptable according to our Christian values. Resisting temptation is challenging, yet it is crucial for us as Christians.

We all experience moments of worry. Some people worry very little, while others worry quite a lot. Worry is an emotion, and it can be challenging to manage. Whether you are concerned about an important job review or whether your mortgage refinancing will be approved, those who tend to worry often find themselves unable to stop unless they learn to "Worry Less, Pray More."

S3 Ep 190Holding On to the Grudge
Throughout our lives, we’ve all heard stories of individuals who went to their graves refusing to forgive a relative or friend for the wrongs done to them. We’ve also encountered those who say, “Hell will freeze over before I ever speak to that person again.” However, if we choose to live a Christian life, there is no room for refusing forgiveness to those who have wronged us.

S3 Ep 189When We Feel Alone
Loneliness is a challenging emotion to navigate. When it is temporary, we typically move on without giving it much thought. However, when loneliness lasts for an extended period, it becomes much harder to cope with. We may feel lonely for various reasons, such as living alone, losing a spouse, or relocating without family or friends nearby. Regardless of the cause, the feeling is the same: a deep sense of loneliness and sadness. In these times of loneliness, we have a choice: we can either succumb to our feelings, which will only worsen our situation, or we can turn to the one friend we always have available, Jesus.

Listen to this episode of “Let Go and Let God” and discover how we can overcome loneliness when we have Jesus in our hearts.
S3 Ep 188Giving Into Gossip
What brings enjoyment from hearing unkind words about others? We chuckle at stories about the overweight janitor whose pants are always too tight. We laugh at comments about the secretary with a very dated hairstyle, and we smirk when we hear about the teacher who comes to class every day dressed in the same suit. Why? Because we are “Giving into Gossip.” What’s sad is that gossip can be fun and entertaining for many. But there’s something we all need to remember about gossip: it’s wrong. Moreover, gossip is something we, as Christians, should never engage in because it goes against the laws and commands of our God.

S3 Ep 187Being Empowered by God
We have all heard the phrase, “Being Empowered by God,” but what does that really mean?

Once He commands it, there is no stopping it.

S3 Ep 186Count Our Blessings
As humans, we are all unique and lead different lives. Each of us has been blessed by our Lord with talents, attributes, opportunities, and many other qualities that enable us to live the lives we have.

Listen to this episode of “Let Go and Let God” and discover how our gratitude can lead to greater rewards from the Lord.

There are many reasons for feelings of sadness, including the end of a relationship, the loss of a loved one, serious health problems, financial difficulties, or marital issues.

S3 Ep 182We Rise by Lifting Others

As humans, we often focus on what we admire in others—whether it is someone's looks, success, or possessions. Many of us overlook the blessings we have while striving for what we lack.

S3 Ep 180Do As I Say, Not AS I Do
We have all heard the saying, “Do as I do, not as I say,” from many people, including teachers, doctors, family members, and friends, often with good intentions. They want us to do things correctly, even though they may not follow the same advice themselves. For instance, it’s acceptable when a piano teacher demonstrates the correct fingering for a musical passage, even if they occasionally struggle with it themselves. Similarly, it’s understandable when a doctor advises us to lose a few pounds, despite knowing that he might need to lose more weight than we do. However, in the Christian community, it is essential for all of us to lead by example and strive to get the best from each other.

Tune into this podcast to learn how we can ask the Lord for miracles and watch what unfolds when we do.
S3 Ep 177The Joy of Giving (Special Guest: Bishop Greg Studerus)
One of the greatest feelings we can experience is the “Joy of Giving.” Giving originates from God, our Father, to whom we offer our love and devotion.

Prayer is not merely about reciting words; it must be genuine and sincere. When we pray for something, it is essential to have a strong belief that the Lord will make it happen. If we lack this belief, our prayers may be ignored. We have all heard individuals say things like, “I pray and pray, but nothing happens,” or “I prayed, but the Lord doesn’t listen to me.” Unfortunately, they are often correct because they lack faith in their prayers. If they do not believe that the Lord is listening or trust that He will respond, their prayers are likely to go unanswered.

S3 Ep 165His Will, His Way
As Christians, we often hear the words“God’s will.”But what does that mean exactly, and what do those words mean to us? In the broad sense, when we say God’s will, it means his supreme will for all humanity to be saved. But when we refer to God’s will for each one of us, it means God’s destiny or his plan.

S2 Ep 155Accepting Others
In today’s fast-paced world, we encounter new ideas, new fashions, new trends, and new groups of people who choose to live very differently from how we do. Change is hard to accept and also, at times, hard to understand. We also tend to fear things we do not understand, which can lead to prejudice. However, Christians must accept everyone because we are God’s people. Tune into this podcast and let Art share his views on how we can get past our fears and uneasiness of those we see as different from us. Listen to this podcast and learn how the Lord will lead us to accept everyone and why that is important.
S2 Ep 154Craving For Success
It seems that many people today have a deep desire to land that powerhouse job making a huge income, or the need to buy the mega-mansion just to show off to friends or the expensive car so they can brag to everyone how well they are doing. There is never anything wrong with being successful, but when we crave it and think of nothing else other than power and wealth, we fall into the trap of “Craving for Success.” When this happens, it can cause tremendous damage to our relationships with others and, most importantly, our relationship with God. Tune into this podcast and let Art explain why when we crave success, we are giving into the emotion of greed, brought on through the temptation from the devil, and how we can avoid that from happening. Listen to this podcast and learn how, as Christians, we can be successful with the Lord’s blessing but without personal desires getting in our way.
S2 Ep 153Understanding Our Doubts
Being human, it is normal for us to have doubts. We are natural skeptics, questioning everything from "Will this movie live up to the hype?" to "Will the landscaper we hired do a good job?" At times, we even doubt our own abilities. It is understandable to experience moments of doubt in our faith and in the Lord. However, it is important to realize that doubting our faith is different from doubting a movie or a landscaper, as we can eventually watch the movie or evaluate the landscaper's work. When we doubt God, it is a different matter. Tune in to this podcast and let Art share how to address our doubts and what we can do about them. Additionally, learn why we doubt and how we can strengthen our faith.
S2 Ep 152Faith & Trust
Two words that go hand in hand in the Christian world are “Faith & Trust.” We can't have true faith if we do not trust the Lord, and we cannot truly trust the Lord if we do not have faith. So, what does that mean exactly? As Christians, we have to accept and understand that in order to lead a Christian life, we have to follow the laws and commands of our God. When we do, we are demonstrating both true faith and true trust in the Lord. Tune into this podcast and let Art explain what “Faith & Trust” means and how, as Christians, we develop true faith and true trust in the Lord. Listen to this podcast and learn how easy it is to follow the way of our Lord and how, when we do, we lead a much happier life
