Description
As the world becomes more and more divided over religion and politics, it's vitally important for people of faith to be courageous about sticking to the foundations of their beliefs. So says Dr. Robert Jeffress, Senior Pastor of First Baptist Dallas and a Fox News Contributor. His new book "Courageous" is a ten-step guide to helping Christians develop strategies for not just 'living' but 'striving' in a world that has become more hostile to faith. For example, to "bend, but don't break," "learn from the past," and number one, "don't panic." On this episode of Lighthouse Faith Podcast, Dr. Jeffress also talks politics. He's one of President Donald Trump's close spiritual advisors and supporters. He discusses the President's mood right after he was acquitted in the impeachment trial, and also how to forgive those who persecute you. While many believe religion and politics live in two separate worlds, Jeffress makes it clear that faith is the fuel for any political position.

Intellectual Giant George Weigel, Breaks Down the Reality of Where the Catholic Church Is and Where It's Headed: Foremost expert on the Catholic Church, George Weigel, is an acclaimed scholar and Church analyst. Right after recording this podcast he took off for Rome to cover the controversial three-week Amazon Synod, or meeting of Bishops, going on at the Vatican. Although we briefly discuss the synod, George has bigger things on his agenda, like the past 250 years of Catholic Church history and why we should look at four very important events in those years that have had a profound influence on the Church today. First, in 1849 a Pope's first step on U.S Sovereign soil; Next, the resulting document of the Second Vatican Council in 1965; Third, John Paul II's return to Poland in 1979 giving a fiery sermon in an in-your-face moment to Communist leaders; and finally, in 2007, a little known document coming from a gathering of Church leaders in Brazil... one of the chief signatories by Lighthouse Faith
