Why Therapy Alone Can’t Heal the Soul | Bob Schuchts Explains What's Missing

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Are you struggling with emotional wounds, shame, anxiety, or spiritual dryness?

In this episode of A Reason for Hope Podcast, Mario Costabile sits down with Dr. Bob Schuchts—founder of the John Paul II Healing Center and author of Be Healed—who shares how true healing comes through a personal encounter with Jesus Christ.

What Really Happens at Mass? (Full Catholic Breakdown)

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0500

What is the Catholic Mass really?

Is it just a weekly obligation… or something far more profound?

In this episode of A Reason for Hope, Jack Garno sits down with Director of Theology Dr. David Hajduk for a powerful and eye-opening walkthrough of the Mass — uncovering its biblical roots, apostolic origins, and breathtaking mystical meaning.

🔥 What You’ll Discover:

Where the Mass comes from
Why Sunday worship fulfills the Sabbath
How the Mass is the same sacrifice as the Cross — made present in an unbloody way
The connection between synagogue, temple, and Christian worship
What early Christians (like St. Justin Martyr & the Didache) reveal about the Mass
Why missing Mass is considered a grave sin
What we actually receive at Mass
How to see the Mass mystically — not just rationally
The hidden symbolism in every part of the liturgy

The Mass is not merely a symbol — it re-presents (makes present again) the sacrifice of Calvary. You are truly there.

When you attend Mass, you stand at the Cross with Mary and John.

You unite your suffering to Christ’s perfect offering.

You participate in the greatest act of worship on earth.

If you’ve ever felt bored at Mass…

If you’ve wondered why Catholics are required to attend every Sunday…

If you’ve asked, “What do I even get out of this?”

This conversation is for you.

Faith After Church Hurt: Can You Trust the Church Again?

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Have you ever felt wounded by the Church… and wondered if you could ever trust again?

In this episode of the Reason for Hope Podcast, Matt Pana and Alanis Gonzalez dive into the heavy but important topic of church hurt—how it happens, why it cuts so deeply, and how we can begin the process of healing without abandoning our faith. We discuss the difference between being hurt by the Church itself versus being hurt by broken people within the Church, and how painful experiences with priests, leaders, or communities can distort our perception of God.

This conversation also explores the importance of validating pain, allowing righteous anger, and pursuing real spiritual healing through prayer, inner healing ministry, confession, community, and accountability. We also discuss powerful tools like Unbound Ministry, spiritual direction, and learning to rebuild your relationship with Christ after betrayal or disappointment.

If you’ve struggled with religious trauma, church wounds, or feeling disconnected from God because of past experiences, this episode is for you.

🙏 You are not alone. Healing is possible. Hope is real.

The Masculinity Crisis: What Really Happened in 1965? (Catholic Truth)

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0500

In today’s episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Dr. David Hajduk sits down with Dr. Deborah Savage, Catholic theologian, philosophical anthropologist, and founder/director of the Institute for the Study of Man and Woman at Franciscan University of Steubenville.

This conversation tackles some of the most urgent questions facing the Church and culture today:

What does it mean to be a man?
What does it mean to be a woman?
And how do we recover clarity about the human person in an age of confusion about sex, gender, identity, and the body?

Dr. Savage shares her remarkable journey—from the corporate world and manufacturing leadership to Thomistic philosophy, Catholic theology, and decades of research into the complementarity of men and women. Along the way, she explains why Thomistic realism is essential for reclaiming truth about the human person—and why the Church’s teaching remains uniquely grounded in reality.

We also dive deep into:

John Paul II’s anthropology and why it’s a powerful evangelical tool today
Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 and what they reveal about masculinity and femininity
The meaning of the masculine genius and the feminine genius
Why we can’t understand men without women—or women without men
The modern crisis of men, and how our culture has misunderstood masculinity
Why Dr. Savage’s Institute includes both theology and philosophy and the hard sciences + social sciences
The importance of fathers and mothers in forming children through the “law of gratuity” and the “law of exchange”
Why healing the family and rebuilding civilization requires a return to God’s design

This is a hopeful, challenging, and deeply timely episode for Catholic parents, students, educators, young adults, and anyone seeking clarity in a confusing cultural moment.

The THREE Ways to Grow in Holiness as a Catholic

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0500

What does it really mean to grow in holiness — and is there a clear, time-tested path for doing so as a Catholic today?

In this episode of A Reason for Hope, Jack Garno sits down with Director of Theology Dr. David Hajduk for a deep dive into the Three Ways of the Spiritual Life — an ancient Catholic framework taught by the saints that explains how souls actually grow in holiness. Drawing from Scripture, St. Thomas Aquinas, and centuries of Catholic spiritual theology, this conversation explores what conversion really requires, why humility is essential, and how grace transforms us over time.

Dr. Hajduk explains the Purgative Way, Illuminative Way, and Unitive Way, showing how each stage builds upon a deeper conversion of heart. The discussion covers the role of confession, prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and mental prayer, as well as the difficult but necessary experiences known as the dark nights of the soul — moments when God seems absent but is actually drawing the soul closer.

This episode offers both clarity and hope for Catholics seeking real spiritual growth in 2026, reminding us that holiness is not reserved for a few saints, but is the universal call of every Christian — made possible by grace and our cooperation with it.

Whether you feel stuck, discouraged, or simply hungry for deeper union with God, this conversation provides a faithful roadmap for the journey.

How to Recognize Spiritual Warfare (And How to Combat It)

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Spiritual warfare is real — but it’s often misunderstood.

In this episode of A Reason for Hope, Alanis and Matt delve into what spiritual warfare truly entails in everyday Catholic life. From anxiety and distraction to temptation, fear, and isolation, this conversation sheds light on how the enemy works subtly — and how Christ has already given us everything we need to overcome.

Together, we break down:

The three types of spiritual warfare (oppression, obsession, possession)
Why Hollywood gets demons and exorcism wrong
How spiritual attacks often increase when you’re walking in God’s will
The connection between mental health, anxiety, and spiritual warfare
Why the devil thrives on distraction, isolation, and fear
The power of Scripture, fasting, order, silence, and the sacraments
Why community is one of the strongest weapons against the enemy
How hope, grace, and childlike dependence on God lead to victory

This is not a fear-based conversation. It’s a Catholic, Christ-centered discussion rooted in Scripture, Church teaching, and lived experience — meant to bring clarity, peace, and hope.

If you’ve ever wondered:

Am I under spiritual attack?
Why do anxiety and temptation feel so intense?
How do I fight spiritual battles as a Catholic?

— this episode is for you.

📿 “The battle belongs to the Lord.”

Hope doesn’t disappoint.

Can Science Prove the Existence of God?

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 11:12:15 -0500

Does modern science point to God? In this powerful episode of A Reason for Hope, Dr. David Hajduk sits down with renowned Catholic priest, philosopher, and physicist Fr. Robert Spitzer, SJ. He explains why today’s discoveries in physics and cosmology strongly support the existence of a Creator.

Drawing on cutting-edge research, Fr. Spitzer shows why multiverse theories fail to explain the extraordinary fine-tuning of the universe. From the precise constants of physics and chemistry to the mathematical improbability of a life-permitting cosmos, the evidence points beyond chance and material causes. As Fr. Spitzer explains, the data increasingly suggests the work of a “super-calculating intellect” behind the universe itself.

This episode also explores why a growing number of physicists, scientists, and medical doctors now believe in God—and why younger scientists are embracing faith at even higher rates. Using insights from leading figures such as Stephen Hawking, Thomas Hertog, and NASA scientist Robert Jastrow, Fr. Spitzer demonstrates how science and Catholic faith are not in conflict, but deeply complementary.

Whether you are seeking answers about the origin of the universe, the relationship between science and religion, or solid Catholic apologetics for God’s existence, this conversation offers clarity, depth, and hope.

👉 Topics include:

Fine-tuning of the universe
Why the multiverse cannot explain creation
Scientific evidence for God
Faith and reason in Catholic teaching
Why science points beyond itself

This episode is ideal for Catholics, students, skeptics, and anyone searching for rational evidence that God created the universe.

Why Hasn't God Answered My Prayers? What Scripture Says

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0500

In this powerful episode of A Reason for Hope Podcast, Alanis Gonzalez and Matt Pana dive deep into one of the most important questions in the spiritual life: What truly moves the heart of God in prayer?

Why does God answer some prayers and not others? How do we discern His timing? What does it actually mean to “find favor” with the Lord? And how can we grow in a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him—especially in seasons of silence, spiritual dryness, or waiting?

Drawing from Scipture, the story of Hannah, the teachings of the Church, and personal testimony, this conversation explores:

✨ Bold, authentic, heart-level prayer

✨ God’s providential timing vs. our expectations

✨ Spiritual apathy, comparison, and performative faith

✨ How intimacy with God transforms our desires

✨ Why unanswered prayers are not unheard prayers

✨ The role of humility, endurance, and purification in the Catholic spiritual life

✨ How sacraments—especially the Eucharist—restore, strengthen, and favor us

Sciptures Quoted:

1 Samuel

Isaiah 43

Romans 5

Genesis 6

Exodus 3

Whether you're struggling to hear God, longing for spiritual renewal, or seeking a deeper prayer life, this episode will bring clarity, encouragement, and hope.

You are favored. You are chosen. And God bends His ear toward every prayer you breathe.

Exorcist Explains Spiritual Warfare and Catholic Mental Health | Fr Chad Ripperger

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0500

How can Catholics discern whether interior suffering is the result of demonic oppression or struggles like anxiety, depression, or emotional trauma? In this episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Mario Costabile sits down with Catholic priest, exorcist, and Thomistic philosopher Fr. Chad Ripperger, who explains how the Church approaches spiritual warfare, using the rich intellectual tradition of St. Thomas Aquinas to distinguish between spiritual and psychological afflictions.

We explore how demons interact with the intellect, will, and passions, and how Catholics can recognize signs of spiritual attack, while understanding that not all mental or emotional challenges are demonic in origin. Fr. Ripperger shares practical guidance on discernment of spirits, the role of grace, virtue, and the sacraments, and how Catholic mental health perspectives can complement spiritual care.

This conversation is essential for anyone seeking clarity in the modern world, especially for those facing inner struggles and trying to navigate the overlap between psychological challenges and spiritual realities. Learn how to protect your soul, strengthen your spiritual life, and approach suffering with a clear and faithful Catholic framework.

Are All Sins Created Equal?

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0500

What is sin? Are all sins created equal? In this episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Jack Garno and Dr. David Hajduk dive deep into the Catholic Church’s teaching on sin—original sin, mortal sin, venial sin, and the consequences of sin in Christian theology. We explore what the Bible says about sin, how moral theology helps us understand grave sin, and why the sacrament of reconciliation is essential to healing.

You’ll hear insights on faith, penance, and the Church’s role in helping souls return to God. We also address the modern resistance to the idea of sin, especially regarding sexual morality, and whether the Church is "too obsessed" with sin. Can you receive communion if you're in a state of sin? Do you need a priest to be forgiven?

This conversation unpacks timeless spiritual truths and sheds light on how Christianity, religion, and Catholic Church teaching still matter deeply in today's world.

What did Jesus REALLY say about Hell?

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Dr. David Hajduk welcomes Monsignor Charles Pope, author of The Hell There Is, to discuss the often-overlooked Catholic teaching on Hell. They explore why the Catholic doctrine of eternal damnation matters for the Catholic faith today, and how the Church teaching on Hell is essential for understanding salvation, which was purchased for us by Jesus Christ. Monsignor shares insights from his ministry and writing, offering a challenging yet hopeful message for Catholic evangelization and Catholic hope.

We talk about the fear of the Lord, Catholic morality, and the “last things”—death, judgment, heaven, and hell—and how recovering this teaching can renew Catholic culture and help us engage in spiritual warfare with courage. Monsignor Pope reminds us that judgment is not meant to paralyze us with fear, but to call us to deeper faith and trust in God’s mercy, leading us to the joy of Heaven.

Understanding the Relationship Between Faith and Mental Health

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0400

Catholic psychologist Dr. Gregory Bottaro joins A Reason for Hope Podcast to explore why much of secular mental health care is falling short and how integrating faith and psychology offers a more complete path to healing. He shares his journey of discerning a religious vocation with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, his mentorship under Fr. Benedict Groeschel, and the deep spiritual wisdom behind Abandonment to Divine Providence. We discuss how faith can transform psychological practices, the impact of sin on mental health, and how the CatholicPsych Institute’s Mentorship model, launched just before the pandemic, is reshaping the landscape of Catholic therapy. Dr. Bottaro also explains the unique approach of Catholic Mindfulness compared to Eastern practices, highlights the saints who have inspired his work, and gives a preview of the upcoming CatholicPsych Institute Summit.

In this episode, Dr. David Hajduk gives his take on whether the Devil is a personal reality, a fallen angel stirring up rebellion, menacing the world, and tempting human beings to fall and lose their souls, or just a symbol for evil or division in the world, which some Biblical scholars have proposed. The answer becomes clear once one reflects on the Church's constant teaching about angels and demons, Jesus' own engagement with the Devil and the demonic in His public ministry, and the experiences of modern-day exorcists.

We will also discuss the importance of praying for the souls of our deceased loved ones, the tragic fate of the damned, and the need to be prepared every moment for meeting the Lord.

From Fame to Faith: Joelle Maryn's Conversion Story | R4H

While living the high-life of glamor and fame as a successful actress, owner of a cosmetic company, and model, and succumbing to the array of temptations this brought, God granted Joelle Maryn an amazing gift known as the Illumination of Conscience: she saw her entire life flash before her and was given light to see every act she had ever committed through the eyes of God, including its full effect on others and its offensiveness to Him. In this episode, Joelle shares this terrible yet grace-filled experience and how it moved her to leave her old life and return to God and His Church. She also shares the ways God has given her opportunities to share the truth through the talents she had once abused.

Body and Soul: The Church and the Holy Spirit | The Creed (Pt. 10) | DM

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 27 May 2024 04:00:00 -0400

Body and Soul: The Church and the Holy Spirit | The Creed (Pt. 10) | DM

In this episode continuing our series on the Creed, we discuss the Church as the Body of Christ and the Holy Spirit as the soul of the Church, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, and is the Lord and Giver of both natural life and supernatural life (sanctifying grace). We ask the questions "Who is a member of the Church?" and "What are the marks of the True Church of Jesus Christ?" We discuss the Church's hierarchical constitution and the nature and limits of authority in her. And we reflect on how, though only Baptism is mentioned in the Creed as the "door to salvation," faith in all the Sacraments is implied.

Surgeon, Soldier, and Sister | Sr. Deirdre Byrne | R4H

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 13 May 2024 04:00:00 -0400

Surgeon, Soldier, and Sister | Sr. Deirdre Byrne | R4H

In this episode, we welcome Sr. Deirdre Byrne (also known as Sr. DeDe), active missionary sister and superior of the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We discuss her Catholic upbringing and the important role her parents played in it, as well as her call to the religious life and missionary work (inspired by St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta), which was intertwined with a desire to become a doctor and to serve in the military. We learn how, by God's grace, Sr. DeDe fulfilled all of these hopes and how they all are a part of her work as a religious sister, and we hear stories of her diverse service. We also discuss the current "battle" for the Church and the Culture we are experiencing in these unprecedented times, and learn what we can do to fight for God, for Truth, and for authentic freedom.

What is the Paschal Mystery? | The Creed (Pt. 9) | DM

In this episode, Dave and Mario continue their deep dive into the Creed, discussing the Paschal Mystery: the passion, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. They describe the various sufferings of Christ and His death by crucifixion. Then they discuss how Jesus descended into hell after His death, and what the "hell" was to which He descended. Finally, we discuss the resurrection of Jesus, some of the characteristics of His glorified body, and why He remained on earth 40 days after His resurrection before He ascended into heaven to take His seat at the right hand of the Father.

The Importance of Effective Communication in the Church | Matthew Warner | R4H

In this episode, we welcome Matthew Warner, the founder of Flocknote and author of Why They Follow published by Word on Fire. We discuss how he became passionate about the Catholic Faith and felt called to use his skills as a computer engineer to spread it. We learn about how this led to him founding the communications platform Flocknote as a way to connect unconnected Catholics with the great things happening in their parishes, as well as to re-evangelize the disaffiliated. We also will dive into the reasons why so many Catholics have left the Church and what we can do to lead them back home.

A Suffering God | The Creed (Pt. 8) | DM

In this episode continuing our series on The Creed, David and Mario set up the coming discussions on the articles pertaining to the passion and death of Jesus. They ponder the questions: Why focus so much on the passion of Jesus if the Gospels and The Creed treat it in a very cursory way? Why does Pontius Pilate's name make its way into The Creed? How is it that God - Who is perfect, perfectly happy in Himself, and cannot change - could ever "suffer"? They also look at an early heresy that attempted to split Jesus' humanity from His divinity, the Church's answer to which offers insight into how Mary can be called the Mother of God and how God can be said to suffer.

Producing Cabrini and Other Faith-Driven Films | Leo Severino | R4H

Producing Cabrini and Other Faith-Driven Films | Leo Severino | R4H

In this episode, we welcome Leo Severino - producer of the well-known films Bella and Sound of Freedom - to discuss his new film Cabrini about the life and work of Mother Frances Cabrini: nun, Italian emigrant, and first American saint. We discuss how Leo came to dedicate his professional life to making faith-driven films of high quality as positive alternatives to much of what is comes out of Hollywood. We also delve into his approach to film-making as a way to bring the beauty of the Catholic faith to a universal audience in a way that attracts them.

Cabrini - Film Synopsis

From Alejandro Monteverde, award-winning director of Sound of Freedom, comes the powerful epic of Francesca Cabrini, an Italian immigrant who arrives in New York City in 1889 and is greeted by disease, crime, and impoverished children. Cabrini sets off on a daring mission to convince the hostile mayor to secure housing and healthcare for society's most vulnerable. With broken English and poor health, Cabrini builds an empire of hope unlike anything the world had ever seen.

Hosted by Mario Costabile | Executive Director of Array of Hope

In this episode, we continue to discuss the second article of the Creed: "And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord." David and Mario focus upon what we mean when we profess that Jesus is "the only Son" of the Father. They discuss how the Son of God is eternally begotten of and consubstantial with the Father, and distinguish between being the Son of God by nature vs. being a son of God by adoption. They also discuss how Jesus is fully God and fully man in one Divine Person, and how the Church came to clarify this in response to early heresies about Jesus.

We also learn what prompted Speaker Gingrich to believe he was “called” to a life of public service, his time as Speaker of the House from 1995-1999 and what is different about politics today, and his work as a writer and historian.

God is our Father (not our mother) | The Creed (Pt. 4)

In this third episode in our series on The Creed, Mario and Dave continue their discussion of the First Article, moving from the conversation about the nature of God and God as Creator to the truth revealed by Jesus that God is our Father. They discuss why God is Father (and not mother), but also what we do and do not mean by this. They also show why those who say that God being called Father is the result of prejudices of previous historical time periods are misguided.

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Peter Kreeft, Professor of Philosophy at Boston College and renowned author and lecturer. We discuss the importance of philosophy and logic, and why philosophical errors are at the root of much of the crisis in our culture and in the Church. We also consider how we seem to live in a world “without reason,” in which rationality seems to be in short supply and common sense not so common.

My Friendship with Mother Teresa w/ Msgr. Michael Mannion

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 04:00:00 -0400

My Friendship with Mother Teresa with Msgr. Mike Mannion

In this episode, we welcome Msgr. Mike Mannion, a priest of the Diocese of Camden, New Jersey and long time friend of St. (Mother) Teresa of Calcutta. Msgr. Mannion shares powerful stories of his many interactions with Mother Teresa, as well as the most important lessons he learned from her during their friendship of almost three decades. We also discuss how we can understand the “spiritual darkness” that so many great saints, like Mother Teresa, have testified to experiencing as a special sharing in the cross of Jesus.

--
About Msgr. Mannion

MSGR. MICHAEL T. MANNION, S.T.L., M.A. is the Director of Community Relations for the Diocese of Camden, New Jersey. Ordained to the Priesthood in 1971, Msgr. Mannion is a pioneer in the field of post-abortion healing, having authored some of the first and finest books on the topic, including Abortion and Healing – A Cry to Be Whole (1986). He has conducted training for clergy and lay professionals throughout the world on this topic. His work has helped to develop the Church’s understanding of the wounds abortion brings and of the path to healing. His ministry inspired Dr. Theresa Burke to focus on the topic of healing after abortion and to develop the Rachel’s Vineyard retreat program, now the world’s largest ministry for post abortion healing. Msgr. Mannion is now developing a new line of thought linking the path of healing with the traditional schools of spirituality in the Church.

Msgr. Mannion has served as a Cable News Network commentator for the funeral of Mother Teresa, with whom he had the privilege of working. His many other media appearances include Meet the Press, the Charlie Rose Show, and MSNBC. He holds advanced degrees in theology, Scripture, and youth ministry. His work also involved ministering to law enforcement personnel and their families, and in that arena has been able to apply his insights into healing the wounds of trauma.

Msgr. Mannion was the Rector of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Camden, NJ from 2001 until 2008 and his work has helped many pro-life organizations and dioceses to be more effective in advancing the work of healing and the protection of unborn children.

CANDID - Light of the Saints w/ Anna Camacho of CORDA Candles

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 27 Mar 2023 04:00:00 -0400

Light of the Saints: Alanis, Jack, Jimmy, and Ryan sit down virtually with Anna Camacho, founder of CORDA Candles. Anna and the CANDID crew discuss Anna’s inspiration for making candles dedicated to the lives of the saints; how a candle can help us pray and learn more about the lives of the saints; and the philosophy behind running a Catholic business for profit. Make sure to head on over to www.cordacandles.com to purchase your very own candles! Some of Anna’s favorites include Battle Cry (St. Michael), Fiat (Our Blessed Mother), and Carpenter Shop (St. Joseph).

--
About Anna and CORDA Candles

Anna has been handcrafting Catholic candles since 2019, when she started CORDA after St. Joseph gave her the nudge. Inspired by the holy men and women who have gone before us, she loves translating their lives into unique candle scents. Every day she's grateful to make things with her own hands and to run CORDA alongside her husband, Michael. And if there's ever a candle inspired by her life, it would smell like a Midwest thunderstorm, books, pizza, and Corgi kisses.

CANDID - Big Tech Ethics w/ Kailash Duraiswami and Michael DiStefano

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 04:00:00 -0400

Big Tech Ethics: This episode features Jack, Jimmy, and Ryan’s interview with Catholic entrepreneurs Kailash Duraiswami and Michael DiStefano, founders of Fidei.email. The group discusses the function of Fidei.email—likened to a Google Apps workspace—which is built for parish and diocesan communities; designed by Catholics, for Catholics. Kailash and Michael reflect on their early entrepreneurial ventures in Silicon Valley, the ethics (or lack thereof) of Big Tech companies, and their remarkable conversion stories.

--
About Kailash and Michael

Kailash is a technology entrepreneur most recently in the Artificial Intelligence space as the founder of Pantenix. Pantenix is an artificial intelligence platform that automates manual data entry for financial services companies through computer vision. Pantenix was acquired by financial services software provider Orion Advisor Solution in Spring 2021. He is an adult convert to the Catholic Church and is most interested in the connection between Catholic principles and entrepreneurship in the world of software startups. His new startup Fidei is taking on Big Tech by offering Catholic alternatives in the consumer technology space.

Michael is an experienced software engineer, having spent years in Silicon Valley and major technology companies, like Uber and Medium. He has founded various technology companies, including his latest, Fidei.email, which gives Catholics the ability to communicate safely online through email. After a major conversion to Catholicism, Michael became passionate about the intersection of the faith and the technology we use today. He’s a firm believer that Catholics must become a part of the creation of technology and innovation, so as to drive a more faith-filled culture.

Resources

Technology is a useful tool but too often means doing business with companies that are actively hostile towards our faith. Fidei provides familiar tools like email, calendars, file sharing, and real-time collaborative documents, all run by those who share your faith.

Visit fidei.email if you are interested in investing in a non-compromising technology space for your community, parish, or diocese.

The group talks about the individual and societal repercussions of pornography; the history of how body objectification came about; pornography’s role in fostering same-sex attraction; and how Christian parents can initiate healthy conversations with their young children in order to develop a proper view of the human person from a Scriptural perspective (drawing on Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body).

CANDID - 'Perfectly Loved' with Singer/Songwriter Rachael Lampa

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Perfectly Loved: Alanis, Jack, Jimmy, and Ryan sit down with acclaimed singer/songwriter Rachael Lampa and discuss her latest single release, Perfectly Loved. Rachael also shines light on her music industry burnout and comeback, taking time to hear God's voice, her prison ministry experiences, and how artists and creatives can maximize their potential for work they can be proud of.

--
About Rachael Lampa

Singer and songwriter, Rachael Lampa, has seen music industry success since her teen years with multiple #1’s, 7 albums, TV appearances, and years of extensive touring with the top Christian and Mainstream artists. At what seemed like the height of her career, and at the tender age of 20, Rachael walked away from her record deal with both a feeling of burnout and a sense of curiosity after spending most of her teen years on a tour bus. Over the next few years, the Colorado-native-turned-Nashvillian moved to LA, continued to release music independently, appeared on NBC’s The Sing Off with other Nashville artists, and toured in a more “out of the spotlight” way as a background singer with Jordin Sparks and later with Hozier.

During the pandemic, Rachael started to dream again and in what started as a conversation between a couple of friends at a bible study, new music was born. “I finally feel like I am making music out of a place of freedom, instead of striving. A lot of my identity was wrapped up in achievement and performance when I was younger. Now I just feel like I get to do it because I enjoy it and I get to make music about things I care about and love.” Rachael’s new song, Perfectly Loved featuring TobyMac is a song inspired by both her inner-healing journey and her work with a non-profit that is founded and run by her family, called People Loving Nashville. This has become a theme for a lot of the songs off of her upcoming album to be released in the Fall of 2022.

In the midst of all of this, ask her what her richest accomplishments are, and you’ll hear a lot more about the relationships that have formed her on the road, the fans that have become dear friends, the beauty that has bridged impossible gaps in service to the marginalized and the miracle of her own growing family and sense of home. Even while her own story continues to unfold, Rachael’s driving passion is to elevate the stories of those around her, using the vehicle of soul-filled music to help her access hearts in a way nothing else could. Her new music is an organic continuation of Rachael’s journey, both musically and lyrically and is bridging the gap between the fans that grew up with her and some new ones too.

Miracles Do Happen w/ Dr. Ben Carson

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 09 Jan 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Miracles Do Happen: In this episode, we are honored to have Dr. Ben Carson - the world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, two-time speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast, presidential candidate, and author. We discuss Dr. Carson’s life and faith, and how he almost miraculously overcame adversity, and went from a life of dire poverty to national recognition. Dr. Carson will share some stories of real miracles he witnessed as a neurosurgeon. We will also discuss what miracles are and the essential part they play in our Faith.

--
About Dr. Ben Carson

Neurosurgeon, medical director, foundation executive and author Dr. Benjamin Solomon Carson, Sr. was born on September 18, 1951 in Detroit Michigan, to Sonya and Robert Solomon Carson. After the couple separated, Carson and his brother Curtis lived with their mother. Although she worked several jobs at a time, Sonya supported the family and played a tremendous role in shaping the lives of her sons. Upon seeing her sons’ poor performance in school, Sonya required them to read regularly and to present her with weekly book reports, although she herself only had a third grade education and had difficulty reading.

In 1969, Carson graduated with honors as the student “Most likely to succeed,” from Southwestern High School, a public school located in southwest Detroit, Michigan. During his early years, although Carson had improved his grades considerably, he had to overcome his temper. After an incident in which he almost stabbed a friend, Carson made up his mind to change his ways. Upon receiving his high school diploma, Carson attended Yale University, where he would meet his future wife, Lacena “Candy” Rustin. After graduating from Yale University with his B.A. degree in psychology in 1973, he went on to the University of Michigan School of Medicine. After receiving his M.D. degree in 1977, Carson trained at Johns Hopkins University, where he completed his internship in general surgery and his residency in neurological surgery. In 1983, Carson traveled to Perth, Australia to serve as a senior registrar in neurosurgery at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. A year later, he returned to Johns Hopkins and by the following year was named Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery. In 1987, through a ground-breaking surgical procedure, Carson successfully separated conjoined twins who were attached at the head.

Outside of his work as a world-renowned surgeon, Carson has been civically active. Using his own life story as a background, Carson has written four motivational books, which include: "Gifted Hands" in 1990, "The Big Picture" in 2000, "Think Big" in 2006, and "Take the Risk: Learning to Identify, Choose, and Live with Acceptable Risk" in 2007. The first of these works served as the inspiration for a film of the same title, in which Cuba Gooding, Jr. plays the role of Carson. Carson has also created three foundations—the Carson Scholars Fund, the Ben Carson Reading Project, and Angels of the Operating Room. He serves on the board of directors of the Kellogg Company and CostCo Wholesale Corporation. In 2008, President George W. Bush presented Carson with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award.

Carson and his wife have three sons, Murray Nedlands, Benjamin Solomon, Jr. and Rhoeyce Harrington.

CANDID - Advent Series 2022, Pt. 3

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Advent Series 2022, Pt. 3: The word “Advent” means “coming” or “arrival.” While we tend to focus on the coming of the Son of God as a child at Christmas, Advent is traditionally a penitential season that is supposed to make us ready to meet the Lord at His second coming. This Advent series by Dr. David Hajduk, Array of Hope’s Director of Theology, reflects on the Final Advent of the Lord - the Last Judgment. This final part explores questions like “What will we be judged on at the Final Judgment?” and “Why is reflecting on the Lord’s second coming a vitally important spiritual practice?”

About Bp. Joseph Strickland

Joseph Edward Strickland serves as the fourth Bishop of Tyler.

Upon the creation of the Diocese of Tyler in 1987, Father Strickland joined the presbyterate of the new diocese and was named the first vocation director in March of 1987 by Bishop Charles Herzig. He was assigned as parochial vicar of Sacred Heart Parish in Nacogdoches in June of 1989 and served there until October of that same year when he was assigned as pastor of St. Michael Parish in Mt. Pleasant. In August of 1992, he was assigned to study canon law at Catholic University of America.

After completing his licentiate (JCL) in canon law in May of 1994, Father Strickland was assigned by Bishop Edmond Carmody as pastor of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Tyler. He was appointed judicial vicar for the diocese in 1995 and was named a Prelate of Honor with the title of Monsignor by Pope John Paul II in 1996.

When Bishop Carmody was named Bishop of Corpus Christi in March of 2000, Mgr. Strickland was elected diocesan administrator for Tyler and served in that capacity until January of 2001 when Bishop Álvaro Corrada was installed as the third Bishop of Tyler.

In 2010, Msgr. Strickland was appointed vicar general of the diocese, and when Bishop Corrada was transferred to Mayagüez, Puerto Rico in 2011, Strickland was appointed delegate of the apostolic administrator for Tyler.

In September of 2012, Pope Benedict XVI named Msgr. Strickland as the fourth Bishop of Tyler. He was consecrated as bishop on November 28, 2012 by Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston.

Remembering Alice von Hildebrand

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 04:00:00 -0400

This past year we witnessed the passing of Alice von Hildebrand, Catholic philosopher and author, and wife of one of the foremost theologians and philosophers of the 20th century, Dietrich von Hildebrand. In this podcast episode we share portions of an interview with Alice conducted by Mario Costabile several years ago, as a tribute to this amazing and influential Catholic woman. Alice discusses her concerns about the state of education, the breakdown of the family and the contemporary attacks on the family, and the crucial role that women play in the plan of God. She also shares her view that the key to building a culture of life, as well as strong marriages, is personal holiness.

--
About Alice von Hildebrand

Alice von Hildebrand was a Belgian-born American Catholic philosopher, theologian, author, and professor. She taught philosophy at Hunter College for 37 years and became an internationally beloved figure through her many books and articles and numerous radio and television appearances.

She is the widow of the famous Catholic philosopher, Dietrich von Hildebrand, whose work she developed and made her own, making important contributions especially to the Catholic understanding of marriage and of femininity.

Despite misogyny and anti-Catholicism at every turn, Alice von Hildebrand was a professor of philosophy for nearly 40 years in New York City. In a climate of relativism, she championed the objectivity of truth. Some students on the verge of despair found a reason for living; many, despite the fact that she never mentioned religion, converted to Catholicism.

Alice von Hildebrand passed into eternal life on January 14, 2022, leaving behind wisdom found in her many books including The Privilege of Being a Woman, Man and Woman: A Divine Invention, and her autobiography Memoirs of a Happy Failure.

Loved As I Am w/ Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 13 Jun 2022 04:00:00 -0400

Loved As I Am: In this episode, our conversation is with Sister Miriam James Heidland, SOLT - popular speaker and religious sister of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity. Sister Miriam is known for her powerful witness and profound wisdom. She can be found speaking internationally at conferences and retreats, working with the John Paul II Healing Center, and co-hosting the popular podcast Abiding Together. We discuss how God delights in bringing us to wholeness, how shame often moves us to believe the lies that we are worthless and unlovable, and how God desires to begin a lifelong process of healing and restoration with us so we can live life fully and in freedom. Finally, we will look at how common religious phrases like "God loves you just the way you are'' and "God meets you where you're at" should be properly understood.

Understanding Our Secular Age w/ Fr. Dwight Longenecker

mario@arrayofhope.net (Array of Hope) — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we hear from Catholic convert, priest, author and blogger Fr. Dwight Longenecker. We hear about his journey from an Evangelical Protestant to Anglican priest to the Catholic Church and Catholic priesthood. We learn about Fr. Longenecker's love for literature and for writing, and in particular his books commenting on our current secular age riddled with atheism and materialism. We also hear about how St. John Paul II understood the false ideas that underlie our current cultural crisis and how he sought to correct them.

About Fr. Dwight Longenecker

"I was brought up in an Evangelical home in Pennsylvania. After graduating from the fundamentalist Bob Jones University with a degree in Speech and English, I went to study theology at Oxford University. Eventually I was ordained as an Anglican priest and served as a curate, a school chaplain in Cambridge and a country parson on the Isle of Wight."

"Realizing that the Anglican Church and I were on divergent paths, in 1995 I and my family were received into the Catholic Church. For ten years we continued to live in England where I worked as a freelance writer and charity worker. Then in 2006 the door opened to return to the USA and be ordained as a Catholic priest."

"I now serve as Pastor of Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Greenville, South Carolina."
