Taylor Marshall Catholic Show

On my birthday, March 29, 2014, the email subscribers of my blog took a vote on our next free book. I offered several free books I’d be willing to write for you as a “thank you” for your encouragement. The winning title was Augustine in 50 Pages: A Quick Layman’s Guide to Augustinianism. You can see the various book options and how the voting broke down by clicking here. My goal was to finish researching and writing the book by the feast day of Saint Augustine on August 28, 2014. I worked hard on it and put the finishing touches on it on August 29. Do you know how hard it is to squeeze Augustine into 50 pages?  Please Listen Here: Your Voicemail about the Book Here’s a short 1 minute voicemail I recorded to you telling you about the book: Click here to listen to it: Taylor’s Voicemail to you about your free book.   Here’s a photo of the final manuscript.

My goal this week is to talk about ‘cleaning the inside of the cup.’ I’m going to talk about my own struggles with hypocrisy and how I’m trying to overcome it. In Matthew chapter 23, our Lord Jesus Christ warns the Pharisees about cleaning the outside of the cup, but not the inside. He also warns us about not swallowing the camel. We’ll look at these passages and try to see what Christ is teaching us.

My goal this week is to introduce you to the “secret” life of Saint Thomas Aquinas. It’s not really a secret if you know where to look. However, Thomas Aquinas is one of the better known saints, but few people know anything about his life.

My goal this week is to take a look at the Evangelical Protestant teaching “once saved always saved.” Once upon a time when I was an Evangelical, I believed in this teaching. It basically holds that once you have accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, you can do nothing to lose it. Catholic Christians don’t believe this. So today we will look at the key Bible verses related to this teaching. It’s going to be fun!

My goal this week is to talk about find the joy of your salvation. Psalm 51:12 says “Restore to me the joy of your salvation,” but how does this happen? The good news is that the Bible presupposes that we can and sometimes do lose the “joy of our salvation.” So it’s absolutely key to understanding “joy” in the context of “salvation.” To make this podcast even more “joyful,” my beautiful wife Joy will be co-hosting today!

My goal this week is to talk about the process of sanctification. My good friend Dr. Ben Olson invited me to play golf with him this week and it reminded me how the spiritual life is like golf. Full of frustrations, sand traps, water hazards, and missed putts. We’ll go through what a typical game of golf looks like for me and then relate that to the Catholic doctrine of sanctification.

This is going to be controversial! Today we look at the classical and medieval understandings of woman as she relates to man. We do so by looking at the Genesis account and along the way we get into some dicey theology. If you’re a rock-ribbed feminist, you may want to stop reading here. Just sayin’. Thomas Aquinas locks horns with Aristotle on this issue of “woman as misbegotten male.” I think you’ll find this video especially interesting and helpful as you engage with others who argue that “The story of Adam and Eve is misogynistic!” You’ll also learn about Thomas Aquinas’ philosophy. As always, I look forward to the comments!!! By the way this video is the last of a series of NSTI videos that we’ve been releasing for the past two weeks from the New Saint Thomas Institute. Alert: TODAY (July 8) is the LAST DAY to sign up for the New Saint Thomas Institute. On Tuesday July 8 at 11:59pm the tuition will go from $37 to $47!

My goal this week is to share with you the 5 Intellectual Virtues according to Saint Thomas Aquinas.

Joy and I sit down today to talk about something very personal: our marriage. We talk about how we met and how we married. Thirteen years and seven children later, we talk about the good and the not so good. Our goal is to share with you a realistic picture of Christian marriage and to share just two things that will help you have a peaceful and loving marriage. Marriage is under attack. We all need to work together and give advice and support so that we can have healthy and happy marriages. Marriage is the primary icon of Christ and the Church. So if marriage suffers, we are not rightly depicting the mystery of Christ and human salvation. That’s why we recorded this podcast. This is probably the most important podcast that we’ve ever recorded! If you don’t usually listen to my podcasts, please don’t let this one pass you by.

In honor of the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity yesterday, here is a free video lesson from the New Saint Thomas Institute on the 9 “big words” that Catholics use to describe and explain the Trinity. As a confirmed Catholic, you must know and understand the canonized terminology for God – otherwise you might start speaking like a heretic and not even know it!

My goal this week is to challenge you to reassess how you budget your time. Most people think constantly about their money. How much is in the checking account? How do I get a raise? How to make this money go further? How can I keep a better budget? I applaud that and I think the Bible has very sound advice about being a good steward about money. But the worldview of the Bible holds that time, not money, is your most valuable currency. Today I’m going to show why you should budget your time and give you 3 practical tips on how to do it more efficiently. Click to Listen: Podcast #038: Should You Budget Time (or Money)?

My goal this week is to introduce talk about the afterlife. We are in the middle of the octave of Holy Week. We are celebrating the resurrection of Christ from the dead. But it raises the question: what is meant by the dead? We also say that he “descended into Hell” and yet Christ told the good thief that he would be with Him in Paradise. All of this confuses people. So today we are going to break it all down. By the time you finish this podcast you’ll understand limbo, Christ’s descent into Hell, the Harrowing of Hell, and how the thief could be in Hell and Paradise with Christ at the same time.
