About this episode

The episode discusses the faith of the Early Christians and the cost of following Jesus, featuring a conversation with Steve Ray.

Today’s Topics: 1) Gospel – John 10:22-30 – The feast of the Dedication was taking place in Jerusalem. It was winter. And Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around Him and said to Him, “How long are You going to keep us in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you and you do not believe. The works I do in My Father’s Name testify to Me. But you do not believe, because you are not among My sheep. My sheep hear My Voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of My Hand. My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father’s Hand. The Father and I are one.” Memorial of Saint Louis Mary de Montfort, Priest Memorial of Saint Peter Chanel, Priest and Martyr Saints Louis and Peter, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Steve Ray joins Terry to discuss the incredible faith of the Early Christians, many who gave their lives for belief in Jesus. Do we have that faith?
