Why These 4 Marks Define the Church!

from Trust in God Podcast · host St. Michael the Archangel Pastorate

If you’ve ever looked out your window and seen four different churches on one street, you might wonder: How can the Church be "One"?In this episode of the Trust in God Podcast, Grant and Father Bennett dive deep into the Nicene Creed to unpack the four foundational pillars of our faith: One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. Many Catholics rattle these words off every Sunday without realizing they are a roadmap for our relationship with God.Father Bennett explains why the Church is a "hospital for sinners," not a "museum for saints," and how the Apostolic authority given to Peter still guides us today. Whether you are struggling with the Church's history or looking for a reason to come back to the sacraments, this conversation reveals how the Holy Spirit is calling you into a deeper, transformative unity.In this video, you will learn:• The difference between "spiritual" and "religious."• Why the Church remains "One" despite human division.• The true meaning of "Catholic" (it’s more than just a name).• How Apostolic succession protects the truth of the Gospel.Video Chapters0:00 The problem with "One" Church0:01:45 Where the 4 Marks come from0:03:10 Is the Church actually ONE?0:06:20 Christ’s prayer for unity0:13:00 Why the Church is HOLY (despite scandals)0:21:40 The Vine and the Branches0:26:10 A hospital for sinners0:29:40 What "CATHOLIC" really means0:33:50 All are welcome, but all must change0:38:20 The power of APOSTOLIC authority0:45:50 Why Rome holds the Primacy0:49:15 Your role in the Great Commission0:54:10 Don’t treat the Church like a hobby0:58:30 Prayer for your transformationFor more information about St. Michael the Archangel Pastorate, visit:🌐 Website: https://stmichaelpastorate.org/📱 Facebook (St. Augustine, Rensselaer): https://www.facebook.com/staugustinerensselaer📱 Facebook (Sacred Heart, Remington): https://www.facebook.com/sacredheartremington📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stmichaelpastorate/🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@st.michaelthearchangelpast999🟣 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/trust-in-god-podcast/id1845406973🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7f6OQsJ3gD8mNAZqMyMLaW?si=312994efcd894cffTo give and support the work Jesus is doing click here:https://stmichaelpastorate.org/donations
