On the latest episode of Deep in Scripture, Dr. Jim Papandrea explained what the “traditions of men” were that St. Paul warned the Colossians against following.
For #ThrowbackThursday, we found a 1999 episode of The Journey Home where Marcus interviewed Suzette and Suzelle Gill– the only time we’ve ever had twins on the show!
Many of our team members were on retreat this week in Biddeford, Maine– we look forward to sharing more about the fruit the Holy Spirit has been bearing in people’s lives soon!
And our CHNetwork Community answered the question, “How big of a deal was missing Sunday worship to you before you became Catholic?”
