Every Knee Shall Bow (Your Catholic Evangelization Podcast)

What does Jesus really mean when he tells his disciples to "heal the sick"?

Gomer reflects on accompanying his father through his final days before introducing a new season on Catholic healthcare. Together, Gomer and Dave explore the Church's vision for medicine, the dignity of every patient, and why healthcare is more than a profession, it's a vocation to share in Christ's healing ministry.

We are taking a break this week as Gomer's dad's funeral is taking place this week. Please keep the Gormley family in your prayers. In the meantime, please enjoy this episode from the backlog.

It can be difficult to see the point of our suffering. Sometimes, it can be an even greater struggle to help someone else through their suffering. Mike and Dave are joined by Jeff Cavins to discuss evangelization, but especially, how to share a message of hope when it comes to suffering.

As we begin a new season on Catholic healthcare, Dave reflects on the passing of Gomer's father and the hope of the Resurrection. Drawing from his experience accompanying his late wife through serious illness, Dave explores why healthcare is more than medicine, it's a work of mercy. He discusses the Church's historic role in caring for the sick, the Catholic roots of hospitals, and previews upcoming conversations with Catholic doctors, nurses, chaplains, and healthcare professionals living out their faith through healing and compassionate care.

How can parishes better accompany people entering the Catholic Church?

In this listener Q&A episode, Dave wraps up the OCIA series by answering questions about sponsors, mentorship, community, Natural Family Planning, and how to meet the diverse needs of those coming into the Church. Dave argues that one of the biggest missing pieces in many OCIA programs isn't more content, it's deeper relationships.

Dave explores mystagogy, the often overlooked final stage of OCIA that begins after the Easter Vigil and calls new Catholics to go deeper into the mysteries they’ve just entered. Rather than being a finish line, he explains it as the start of lifelong formation.

He also reflects on grief and how suffering can deepen belief in the resurrection, highlights the need for stronger parish community and post-Easter formation, and asks for prayers for Gomer’s dad and family as his father’s health declines.
