On the latest Deep in Christ, JonMarc and Fr. Peter Grodi looked at divine grace and our response.
For this week’s Deep in Scripture, Marcus Grodi shared some follow up thoughts on Philippians 4 after our recent Thanksgiving special.

Meanwhile, around the web…

APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK

A member torn between the Protestant congregation she loves, and the Catholic Church she feels drawn to, another member who’s reading about the Church but hasn’t met any Catholics in real life, and all our members experiencing their first Advent season as Catholics – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network International. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
