  • Historic Election of First American Pope, Pope Leo XIV

    Historic Election of First American Pope, Pope Leo XIV
    2025/05/11
    When the white smoke billowed from the Sistine Chapel chimney Thursday evening, Fr. Roger Landry, like millions around the world, waited to see who among the 133 cardinals had just become the 267th successor to St. Peter. He knew to listen for the Latin version of the Cardinal's birth name in order to translate to a media outlet. He knew there were only four Cardinals with the first name Robert. But he was listening for "Petrus", thinking that getting white smoke on the fourth ballot of the conclave must mean that the frontrunner, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's Secretary of State, had secured the needed two thirds vote. But instead, he heard Robertus... And he was shocked! This is the drama that unfolded in St. Peter's Square as tens of thousands packed into the piazza and the Via della Consilizione, cheered as the Basilicas bells peeled with joy knowing Habemus Papem, "We have a Pope!" On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast coming to you from Rome, Italy, Fr. Landry, the National Director of Pontifical Missions Societies USA, talks about that moment when he realized the first American born pope had just been elected. The former Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, surprised the world. Who is he? Why did he impress the electors so thoroughly? Fr. Landry has insights and predictions about this American made pontiff who truly is more citizen of the world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Vaticanista John Allen on The Conclave vs. Conclave: The Real and the Hollywood Version

    Vaticanista John Allen on The Conclave vs. Conclave: The Real and the Hollywood Version
    2025/05/04
    The movie Conclave, stocked with A-list Hollywood talent, has attracted much more attention since the death of Pope Francis and the impending Conclave to choose his successor. But how closely does the movie mirror the actual secretive event that has taken place for centuries under the frescoed walls of the Sistine Chapel? For veteran Vatican journalist and author John Allen, the only truth that is in the movie is that "Cardinals do vote for the pope." Unlike the election of a new president of the United States which occurs every four years, electing a pope occurs only when the person occupying the throne of St. Peter dies. St. John Paul II was pope 27 years, a very long period of time. Pope Benedict XVI was pope eight years, and Pope Francis, twelve years. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith, coming to you from Rome in the shadows St. Peter's Basilica, Allen talks about what the movie got wrong, which is most of it, and some of which was true to form. He also elaborates on some of the top contenders from the College of Cardinals who are papabile, Pope-able. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • The Resurrection of Jesus, a Supernatural Event

    The Resurrection of Jesus, a Supernatural Event
    2025/04/20
    Easter Sunday celebrates Jesus Christ rising from the dead. That day changed the trajectory of a world drowning in sin. God broke through the barrier separating Him from His highest and most valuable creation... humanity. But believing in the Resurrection of Jesus means believing in the supernatural, in a vast world of power that exists outside the realm of physical matter. Author Lee Strobel says the Resurrection is part of the plethora of spiritual mysteries in the Bible and also in our modern world today. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Strobel talks about his book, "Seeing The Supernatural". The Supernatural includes angels, demons, mystical dreams, near-death experiences, and of course, the Resurrection. Many of these mysteries have been investigated and studied separately. But putting them all together as part of a massive metaphysical reality is a game changer, because it means all these mysteries point to One Being who controls it all.

  • The Easter Story is More than Meets the Eye (Or the Ear)

    The Easter Story is More than Meets the Eye (Or the Ear)
    2025/04/13
    How many Roman soldiers does it take to arrest one man? If the man is Jesus of Nazareth... hundreds. On the night of His arrest, Jesus's reputation was that of power and miracles. The Romans were taking no chances. In the Garden of Gethsemane, we see the Lord of all creation humbling Himself to take the place of humanity. He knows His arrest will end with death by crucifixion. But what happens on that night in that Garden has far more inciteful details than most biblical readers have fathomed, like who was that young man who ran away from the soldiers naked after being stripped of his loin cloth? Or the High Priest's servant whose ear is cut off? Why are these and more events even included in the biblical narrative? On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, theologian Rick Renner explores his new book for adults and children, "Easter: The Rest of the Story." He explains how even the most minute details of the various scenes in the Garden are important to understanding who Jesus is and what He came to do. He is God incarnate, come into the world to pay the penalty of sin for all of humanity, for all time. Easter celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. It is the cornerstone of Christianity. Without it, nothing in the Garden makes sense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Investigating Miracles: Are They Supernatural, or Just Natural?

    Investigating Miracles: Are They Supernatural, or Just Natural?
    2025/04/06
    Polls show the vast majority of people believe in miracles. But what is a miracle? When does a healing defy the laws of medicine? Investigative journalist and author Billy Hallowell journeyed through the realm of the supernatural and the natural to find out if miracles do happen, why they happen, and why they don't happen. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Hallowell talks about his documentary "Investigating the Supernatural: Miracles", now streaming on Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN). Hallowell says the bar was set pretty high to determine if someone indeed was miraculously healed, that there could be no other scientific reason for the healing. The investigation focuses on several different people including the case of Dr. Chauncey Crandall, a cardiologist who prayed over a patient who suffered a massive heart attack and had no pulse for 40 minutes. The patient was given one more jolt from the defibrillator after Crandall's prayers and his heart began beating. But that was only part of the miracle... The patient had no resulting brain damage. But why was Crandall's prayer for his patient answered, and yet years before his prayer for his own dying child was not? That, Hallowell says, is part of the mystery of our walk with God in searching for a miracle. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Investing In Your Faith: The Timothy Plan Founder Advises 'Let the Bible Be Your Guide'

    Investing In Your Faith: The Timothy Plan Founder Advises 'Let the Bible Be Your Guide'
    2025/03/30
    Thirty-two years ago, finance expert Art Ally got tired of investing in companies that had a track record of diverting from biblical moral principles. So, he created The Timothy Plan, an investment firm that would screen out companies that pursued "unholy agendas," like abortion, pornography or sex trafficking. And the biblical directive has been profitable... to the tune of nearly $3 billion in the fund. But that's not the first priority. The often-misquoted verse in the Bible, Timothy 6:10, doesn't say money is the root of all evil, but that the "love of money" is the root of all evil. It's a big distinction. It means people of faith should put God first and make decisions about investments that align with God's Word. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Ally speaks frankly about the spiritual warfare going on in the financial world, and that companies like Disney and Target have lost their way morally. They are not even considered as part of a Timothy Plan portfolio. While supporting Israel, as the land of God's chosen people is the basis of their Israel Common Values Fund. Why is it important to care about where your money goes? Ally says, because there's nothing more central to anyone's life than money. And there's nothing more important than glorifying God.
