Episode 4 - The Antidote to Every Sexual Heresy
Keep Your Family Catholic with Devin Schadt and Judah Kennedy
Catholics – that is, true Catholics, are constantly bombarded and persecuted by the culture’s version of love. The popularized slogan “love is love” really means, “if you are a loving person, you must accept what any person deems as love–even if that runs contrary to your beliefs and morals.” Contraception, spouse trading, pedophilia, same-sex acts, no-fault divorce, sex-changes, pornography, polygamy, abortion, and adultery are just some of the ways that our culture proposes love. What is the Christian response? When responding to our culture’s claims that love is love many...

Religion has been defined as the means by which human beings attempt to “reach” God and make God knowable. In an attempt to accomplish this man has offered many solutions to the problem of religion. Being that each religion maintains and proclaims different and varied tenants of belief–often opposing each other–there are only three scenarios: first, all religions are correct (which cannot be true); all are religions are incorrect (which may be true) or there is one religion that is correct, and all others are incorrect.

Episode 2 - Just Have to Be a Good Person to Get to Heaven
Keep Your Family Catholic with Devin Schadt and Judah Kennedy
God won’t deny me heaven… I am not evil…I’m actually a pretty good person.

But could this idea be thwarting the initiative to save sols. In Just Have to Be a Good Person to Get to Heaven, Devin Schadt and Judah Kennedy discuss five reasons why the idea of “being a good...

Episode 10: Your Biggest Battle
Keep Your Family Catholic with Devin Schadt and Judah Kennedy
We all have a multitude of very real, ongoing challenges that we confront daily. No one is exempt. Though our challenges differ, we all have one universal challenge in common. Most people miss this. Understanding your biggest battle, deciding and attempting to win this battle and determining how to fight in this battle will determine your happiness and your salvation.
info_outlineEver feel like you have nothing to offer? You want to be more but feel like less? Your lack of talents is holding you back from doing something big? Think like this and you’ll give up on God and settle for being stimulated and satiated by the world. What can a not-so-gifted-person do?
Believing that others have all of the gifts and that we have very little to offer makes us believe that we are worthless; that it is God’s fault for making us this way; and it lets us off the hook. We believe that we have no obligation to serve God beyond fulfilling the bare minimum. We think: God doesn’t expect much from me because He didn’t give me much.
The Gospel of John recounts an event wherein a small someone had very little by the world’s standards but was called by Jesus to do something with it. Jesus is faced with the challenge of feeding the multitudes, and a boy has five loaves and two fishes.
Andrew the apostle says, “But what are these among so many?”
This is the question that we all have. I have very little talents, very little money, very little time; what good is it? I cannot even make a dent in world poverty. I can’t save all the souls who are going to hell. Why spend the little I have on such an impossible situation?
When we succumb to that lie, we think that God can’t do something big with our little. But God can do something great with your little.
In this video, I explain how the boy and the great saints didn’t do great things -but small things with great love, and how we can be like them.
A great resource that can help you with becoming who you are:
