Today we mark the end of a few things here on the Flint Catholic Podcast. First, this is the end of season 3, and we hope to see you all again in late August or early September. Second, Patrick is leaving the Flint area, and so we say goodbye to Patrick on the podcast. Perhaps we'll do a bonus summer special with the new cohost!

In the episode, we talk about what we've learned this year, how we've grown spiritually, and what our plans are for the summer. There are lots of things going on in the Flint area this summer, here are a few of them.

How The Saints Shaped History

How The Saints Shaped History

Today we talk to the author of the new book "How the Saints Shaped History", Randy Petrides. The book is a history book with the saints as the protagonists. How the Saints Shaped History focuses on the essential role of the saints, as vessels of God's grace, in moving the Church (and the world!) through her two-thousand-year history. Written especially for everyday Catholics hungry to learn more about the Faith, this book is both comprehensive and accessible. It tells the story of how more than 180 saints, from Saint Mary Magdalene to Pope Saint John Paul II, led the Church through many crises and back to her spiritual roots. You can buy the book at the different links below. https://osvcatholicbookstore.com/product/how-the-saints-shaped-history https://www.amazon.com/Saints-Shaped-History-Randy-Petrides/dp/1639660216

In this eight-part study, Jeff Cavins and Thomas Smith examine biblical wisdom as it relates to daily life. Drawing on the wisdom literature of the Bible—Proverbs, Wisdom, Sirach, and Ecclesiastes— 

Wisdom: God’s Vision for Life will teach you how to actively seek sound guidance and increase your sense of peace in navigating life. In everything from friendships to finances, from making decisions to attaining peace of mind, Scripture offers a vision for happiness and well-being. With this program, you will learn how to gather, gain, and grow in wisdom, and you will experience the joy it brings to your life.

#BYOB Revelation and a Bible Game

#BYOB Revelation and a Bible Game

We totally forgot to finish the #BYOB series, can you believe it?!?! Today we dive into the most difficult book of the bible to understand, the book of Revelation. Given the time constraints, I hope I did a good job in summarizing it, but I could do a whole series on Revelation alone. If that is something that interests you, let me know in the comments and we'll consider doing it going forward.

After the break, we play a game. Are the lines I read from the bible or are they lyrics to a heavy metal song? I only got one wrong when I played it!

The Eucharist and Covenants

The Eucharist and Covenants

This past Sunday, we celebrated the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus, and so we felt it appropriate to talk about the Eucharist today! The first segment goes into sacramental theology and what the Eucharist is. The second segment goes into the covenantal nature of the Eucharist. 

This is the link to the Virtual Adoration channel that Michael mentions in this episode. 

As our dispensation from the Sunday and Holyday obligation ends, the Flint parishes (Christ the King, Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. John Vianney, St. Matthew, St. Pius X, St. Mary Oratory) are celebrating the great gift of the Mass in our lives. To do this, these parishes will be celebrating an outdoor Mass on Sunday, June 13th, at 11:00 a.m. at Powers Catholic High School to celebrate our faith, witness our joy at the gift of the Eucharist, and enjoy fellowship with each other. After Mass there will be lunch and music to continue the celebration. This will be the only Mass for those parishes on June 13th (Saturday evening Masses will be held as usual). Please mark your calendars to join in this festive event!


https://www.faithfest.com

The Authenticity of Scripture and the Zealots

In the second segment, we come back to the Faith Catholic Magazine and look at the historical group known as the Zealots. Who are they, and why are they important in Israel during the life of Christ?
