Teddy Bears and Goodbyes

Today’s episode was recorded live. This teaching was given in 2018 to the My Beloved Charismatic Prayer Group at St Mary Magdalen in San Antonio, TX.

Live: Do You Feel Overwhelmed?

In this episode, we talk about a trap we can fall into when it comes to living out our vocation. This is the trap of ‘If Only’ which can cause us to miss the good God is inviting us to in the now as we experience it.  

If Only Things Were Different

In this episode, we talk about a spiritual warfare tool we can use to combat the lies of the devil. We will be using two scripture verses as our guide. 2 Corinthians 10:5: We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Phillippians … Continue reading Spiritual Warfare: Taking Every Thought Captive →

Spiritual Warfare: Taking Every Thought Captive

Today’s episode is based on talk four from the Life in the Spirit Seminar series. We begin with Acts 2:38: And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”  … Continue reading Receiving God’s Gift →

Receiving God’s Gift

We pick up where we left off in the previous episode on new life and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. In this episode, we will talk further on what some of the charismatic gifts are. We will also talk about how some of our more natural gifts can receive a deeper, charismatic element as … Continue reading What Are The Charismatic Gifts? →

What Are The Charismatic Gifts?

Today’s episode is the first part of talk three from the Life in the Spirit seminar series. In this episode, we will be discussing what the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is and how gifts are one of the ways God invites to participate in new life with Him.

New Life – The Baptism of The Holy Spirit

The text for today’s episode is the story of the healing of the ten lepers from Luke 17:11-19. We will be taking a closer look at what faith is and some lessons on faith we can learn from the scriptures.

The Leap Of Faith

Satan knows our name but calls us by our sins. God, on the other hand, knows our sins but calls us by our name. In this episode, we discuss a spiritual warfare tactic you can use to combat some of the lies Satan likes to tell us about our identity.

Spiritual Warfare: That’s Not Your Name

Today’s episode comes from a talk I presented at a young adult retreat in February 2017. The retreat was focused on the theme of the spiritual treasures of our Catholic faith.

Spiritual Treasure: Scripture

Today’s episode is a special live recording. The audio is from the March 2016 Charismatic Conference held at St Mary Magdalen in San Antonio, Texas.

Live: Mission Possible!

“God does not require that we be successful only that we be faithful.” St Teresa of Calcutta. Today’s episode focuses on the parable of the talents. You can find the scripture text in Matthew 25:14-40.  

Faithfulness, Not Results

We are back from our Lenten break! In this episode, we are going to talk about how Christ fully present in the Eucharist is a symbol of love and vulnerability to us.

Love, Vulnerability, And The Eucharist

Catholic Immersion will be taking a break during Lent to prepare the episodes for the next season of the show. Until our return April 8th, enjoy the archives of the show!

We’re Going on Break!

Today’s text comes from Matt 8:23-27 and is the story of Jesus calming a storm at sea. We also discuss the importance of textual context in understanding Scripture by tying back to the preceding story on the would-be followers of Jesus. Then we discuss some lessons we can learn on discipleship from both of these stories.

Jesus Calms The Storms At Sea

"Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." (Luke 5:4)
