Friends, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, the 265th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, has passed away at the age of 95 years old.
In this special “Word on Fire Show” discussion, Brandon Vogt and I reflect on his life, impact, and key ideas and contributions.
We specifically touch on five key areas:
1) True reform vs. false reform in the Church
2) Liturgical renewal
3) Importance of the Bible for theology
4) Synthesis of faith and reason
5) Christocentrism

Friends, many people in the Church, including the Holy Father, have been talking about “synodality.” But what is it? What does it mean? How can it help the Church, and what are possible dangers? That’s what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show.”
A listener asks, what is appropriate to bring with you into Eucharistic Adoration?
Friends, today we share Fr. Mike Schmitz’s keynote talk from the recent Good News Conference in Orlando, Florida.
As Fr. Mike explains, joy is a choice, just like love. We can either chase the feeling or choose the reality. Joy comes from the fact that you know that God is here and that you are known and loved by him. The Christian life is a pursuit of the One who loved us first, the One in whom we find our true joy.
Friends, why is art important? An uptick in vandalism against famous pieces of art, calling to mind outbreaks of iconoclasm throughout history, has raised questions about art’s value and purpose.
On today’s “Word on Fire Show,” I discuss with Brandon Vogt why art matters.
A listener asks, is God’s true nature love or truth? What’s the interplay between those two?
