Greetings and welcome to The John 3:30 Podcast, we focus on Catholic Faith Life. The goal is to share different ways people keep their fire burning for our Catholic Faith. I have seen firsthand many people attend a Retreat or go through a traumatic Life Event and it brings them closer to their faith. For a moment. They are hungry for more. Unfortunately, not too long after, many return to their “old ways.” I firmly believe this happens because they do not know what they do not know. They may not be aware that they can attend Adoration, pray a Novena, or any other beautiful ways our Catholic Faith offers us the opportunity to grow in our Faith. My thought process is to sit down and speak with “everyday” people and have a conversation with them as to how they keep their fire burning for our Catholic Faith.  Like what you hear?

  2. Episode 111: Fr. Charlie Banks, OMI - Understanding the Mass

Nov 23, 2020

Thanks for coming back! In this episode, I welcome back Father Charlie Bank, OMI. You may remember Father Banks from episode # 77. Father Banks unpacks the Mass with us, step by step. There is a lot of insight shared by Father Banks such as:  

  • Why do we bow when Jesus Christ is said/sung during the Gloria?
  • Why do we strike our breast during the Penitential Act? (Through my fault…)
  • What does Liturgy mean?
  • What does consubstantial mean?
  • Much much more! 

Your experience in Mass will never be the same after listening to this episode as we learn the “why behind the how.”
