Dave responds to each question with both wisdom and encouragement so that each of us can continue striving for greater union with God.

The saints were people like you and I who responded generously to the call that God put on their life to be holy and follow him.

This Is Random

How can a loving God allow suffering to exist? This question may be one of the most asked questions about Christianity. Michael Gormley and Dave VanVickle begin a new series on the Problem of Pain where they respond to this question. They begin by discussing why suffering exists, why God allows it to exist, and where God is at in our suffering.
Snippet from the Show
Suffering becomes transformed in the cross and resurrection. It becomes something that purifies and refines us so that we can draw closer to our Lord and grow our compassion and humility.

Why Does Suffering Exist?

Why do innocents suffer? Why does God allow me to suffer in ways that keep from accomplishing good things? There are many parts to suffering that are difficult to understand and can build resentment within us. Michael Gormley and Dave VanVickle address these questions and share how they help others let go of their resentment in suffering.
Snippet from the Show
God suffers for you for a purpose, but he also suffers with you in the darkness no matter how bad it gets.

Facing Resentment in Suffering

Does our sin cause suffering? Yes and no. Gomer and Dave explore the complex relationship between sin and suffering. They discuss the nuances of attributing suffering to sin, the role of divine justice, and how miracles fit into God's greater plan. 
Snippet from the Show
 We have to trust that in God's "no", there is something greater that is being done.

Snippet from the Show
When you look at the Cross, you see the love of God, for you poured out.

The Problem with Pain

When you’re facing suffering, it’s very natural to ask why. However, if we suspend that question and instead ask ‘God, how can I love the most at this moment?’, you’ll get more answers than if you were to actually get the answer to your question. Today, Mike Gormley and Dave VanVickle give tips on how to suffer well and weather the storms of difficulties. 
Snippet from the Show
Tips from Mike and Dave on How to Suffer Well:
Remind yourself that everyone is fighting their own battle. Remembering that everyone is suffering in their own way can take your focus off yourself and shift your focus to others.
Have a reason for your suffering. Offering up suffering keeps your focus strong and your faith big.
Be bluntly honest with God. Bring your anger to the Lord and allow Him to change your heart.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church. (Colossians 1:24)
And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends; and the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. (Job 42:10)
Quote from C.S. Lewis
God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains.
Quote from Fr. Jacques Philippe
What really hurts is not so much suffering itself as the fear of suffering. If welcomed trustingly and peacefully, suffering makes us grow. It matures and trains us, purifies us, teaches us to love unselfishly, makes us poor in heart, humble, gentle, and compassionate toward our neighbor. Fear of suffering, on the other hand, hardens us in self-protective, defensive attitudes, and often leads us to make irrational choices with disastrous consequences.

How to Suffer Well

What is your plan for Lent? Is there anything you’ve been avoiding that the Lord is tugging at your heart to revisit? Michael Gormley and Dave VanVickle explain where our focus should be and how Lent is a time to become more disciplined, virtuous and free.
Snippet from the Show
“The purpose of Lent is a time of quickening, a time of intensity, it’s a time of renewed focus. It is a time where we don’t give up our sin… it’s a time where we renounce good things.”

The Purpose of Lent

Michael Gormley announces a new Ascension podcast that will help you share your Catholic faith with your family, friends, co-workers, and even total strangers.

Introducing Every Knee Shall Bow: Your Catholic Evangelization Podcast

Do you find making a good first impression to be awkward? Have you ever tried to say something inspiring but ended up saying the wrong things? Is the mere thought of evangelization too nerve-racking to even contemplate?
Welcome to the Every Knee Shall Bow podcast where hosts Michael Gormley and Dave VanVickle discuss ways you can bring God’s kingdom to earth, so his will may be done as it is in heaven. Every week they will answer questions, explain Catholic teachings, and give you five practical takeaways, all centering around bringing people to Jesus Christ. Today, Mike and Dave explain what Season One is all about—being unashamed of the gospel. The world desperately needs the love of God, and who else will bring it to them except you?

Be Unashamed of the Gospel

Dave “The Exception for Every Rule” Van Vickle is back with me, Mike “Gomer” Gormley, as we talk about the ups and downs of prison ministry.

5 Practical Tips for Prison Ministry

 1. Connect with a corrections ministry in your diocese so you don’t reinvent the wheel or cause any missteps that could get you in trouble.
 2. If you have a relative in prison, put money in their commissary account and call them or write to them.
 3. Donate Bibles, 
Catechisms 4. , and apologetics books to your local unit, including ones in Spanish.
 5. Pray a Rosary this week for the incarcerated and for the correction officers.
 6. Check out the 
Romans Bible study 7. by Ascension Press.
