Every Knee Shall Bow (Your Catholic Evangelization Podcast)

Mary is victorious over the devil. She overcomes all evil. How is this possible? In what ways should we look to Mary in our own battle with sin? Michael Gormley and Dave VanVickle discuss the answers to these questions and highlight the victory over sin and death that was granted to Mary by her Son.

I’m your host, Mike "Gomer" Gormley but I am not joined by my illustrious co-host, Dave “The Bearded Fox” Van Vickle because of life. Yes, life.

For two weeks we kept trying to record a show together, but my daughter ended up in the hospital (she’s home now) for a few days and threw everything off. Prayers appreciated! Dave was flying all over the country talking about Catholic spiritual warfare (like a gentleman ought) so instead I’m bringing you another example from my own ministry of how I preach the gospel.

This talk was given to the men's group at my parish (even though some people don’t like those cough Dave cough) and focuses on the message of salvation through Genesis up to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and points to the responsibility this puts on Christians to spread the good news.

We will be back with a regular show next week so you can hear the wonderful vibrato of “The Bearded Fox” himself.

Snippet from the Show
“The very spirit of Christ is breathed out upon us, giving us the ability to overcome sin, death, and darkness in our own lives. The Holy Spirit is the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ unleashed into the human heart.”

SHOWNOTES

Matthew 28:16-20 - “Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.’”

Dr. Scott Hahn - “The moment I’m more outraged at another person’s sin than my own is the day I need a reality check, because their sins don’t send me to hell the last time I checked.”

Genesis 3:15 - “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”

GK Chesterton on Original Sin - “The only doctrine of the church that’s empirically verifiable”

St. Paul - “I do the very thing I don’t want to do, and I don’t do the very thing I want to do. Who will deliver me from this wretched body?”

Two questions to ask yourself

1. Why is it so difficult for you to evangelize?
2. How has the resurrection of Jesus changed your life?

The term “Apotropaic” means seeking Christ’s warrior presence. In this episode, Mike Gormley and Dave VanVickle discuss more weapons of warfare and how we can seek his warrior presence in spiritual warfare. They teach us how truth and love can be used to fight the devil and the best ways to live out the corporal works of mercy.

Snippet from the Show
Truth and love are probably the most exorcistic things on Earth. Those two things are incredibly powerful in warding off the devil.

What’s the difference between a sacrament and a sacramental? How can we use the sacraments to fight evil? Mike Gormley and Dave VanVickle explain the incredible power of Baptism and Confession and how to use sacramentals to overthrow the powers of darkness. In this episode, they explore the history of the sacraments.

Snippet from the Show
Baptism is an absolute revolution in the life of the soul. You remove from it its current tyrannical leader, and you place it under the lordship of Jesus Christ, our merciful Savior.
