Together they discuss turning down lucrative clients that didn’t align with their values, the birth of projects like VidAngel and The Chosen, and how Tuttle Twins uses entertaining storytelling to teach kids (and parents) principles of freedom, economics, and critical thinking.

CLARIFICATION: In this episode Fr Angelus, (Deacon Charlie’s brother) is described as an exorcist. While Fr Angelus has been formally trained in, and for, the ministry of deliverance and exorcism, and is very active in this ministry, he is not a “mandated” exorcist. Since the term “exorcist” is generally understood as the title for a priest who has been formally mandated by his Bishop, we just wanted to clear this up, in respect to Fr Angelus’ current status. Finally, we ask that you please keep Fr Angelus in your prayers; that God continue to use him as an instrument of deliverance for God’s most spiritually afflicted children as His holy will ordains.

Disclaimer:

We struggled with the idea of releasing this episode this week, given that Christmas is almost upon us and the subject matter is anything but merry, but we were also moved by the reality that it is precisely during December that Holiday cheer can amplify loneliness and hopelessness in people who have lost loved ones, or who have high expectations of renewed happiness during the holiday season, only to be disappointed when the season passes... as well as the recent news of high profile suicides in the news and the pain of their families which we discuss on this episode... it was with these factors in mind that we chose to release this episode now.

Quotes from the show:

"The present moment is always full of infinite treasure. It contains far more than you can possibly grasp. Faith is the measure of its riches: what you find in the present moment is according to the measure of your faith. Love also is the measure: the more the heart loves, the more it rejoices in what God provides. The will of God presents itself at each moment like an immense ocean that the desire of your heart cannot empty; yet you will drink from that ocean according to your faith and love."

Father Jean-Pierre de Caussade

“Suffering that is not transformed is transmitted.”

Sister Miriam James Heidland

"God cannot give Himself to us unless our hands are empty to receive Him. The deepest reason why so few of us are saints is because we will not let God love us. To be loved means a naked, defenseless surrender to all God is. It means a glad acceptance of our nothingness, a look fixed only on the God who gives, taking no account of the nothing to whom the gift is made.”

Sister Ruth Burrows, a Carmelite in the monastery at Quidenham in Norfolk, England
