Dekalb County Catholic

The Dekalb County Catholic priests talk this week about the more that God has for every one of us. What are the charisms? Are they Catholic? Are they meant for me? Listen to testimonies from each of the priests when they've seen the power of the Holy Spirit working in their life!

We learned about how the enemy tries to get us to put our trust in him. This week on the Dekalb County Podcast we learn from our three priests how to combat the enemy and be victorious with Christ! Stay till the end to walk through a prayer of renunciation against the lies of the evil one.

Jesus Christ is alive, and he has conquered the enemy. The enemy is constantly after our attention, our focus, and our trust. In this episode learn how the Lord wants us to conquer the enemy in our life by learning how the enemy is working in the world today.

Join the three Dekalb Priests talk more about the glory of Easter. He is alive, He has more for us!

The Lord is Risen, Alleluia! Easter is here. But what does that mean for us 2000 years later? Need we have the same conviction that the apostles had? If we did, that would likely require us to change the way we live. But, life is ok right now. Lent is over after all. Could the Lord really have more in store for me? And what does all this have to do with us in DeKalb County? Link mentioned in the show: TheTilma.org

Who is called to mission in the Church? If I'm called to mission then what's my mission? What do baptism and the Lion King have in common? And here's the real question, is Father Batman?  After talking about Relationship and Identity our three DeKalb Padres are at it again. This time they are taking it one step further and beginning the conversation on mission. 

Who do I say that I am? Who does God say that I am? Identity seems so tied to what we do, but saying what I do never seems to give a full representation of who I am? In this episode our three Padres talk identity in a way your average cocktail party wouldn’t dare to breach it. You may not be who you think you are. And when it comes to managing anxiety levels, that’s really good news.

How am I, a lay person from DeKalb County supposed to relate to the creator of the universe? How should I properly order my relationship with each member of the Trinity? How can I increase my desire to relate better to God? Your priests of DeKalb County respond to these foundational questions in our personal relationship with the Divine while bringing in references to some of the greats: Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, and Mary Mother of God.

Prayer is the core of our relationship with Christ. But prayer isn't the same for everyone. Well, not all forms of prayer are. There is one part of prayer that we need to foster more of in DeKalb County, and the world for that matter. A part that is very simple and yet can be very challenging. The fruit of learning this well however is transformational. Both for those who are just getting started in prayer and for those who have been praying for decades. In this week's episode, let's talk about the core of our relationship with Christ, prayer. 

In this episode your favorite DeKalb Padres dive into the difficult topic of Almsgiving. Addressing questions like, what is the difference between tithing and almsgiving? Can I technically give alms if I’m not fully tithing? Why is supporting the Church a precept? Beyond supporting the needs of the Church what are the spiritual benefits of Tithing and Almsgiving; ultimately, how does tithing and almsgiving free me to love our lord and my friends better?
