Evangelize your loved ones with the Shroud of Turin – Footsteps to Heaven

  Episode #99:  Think of someone you know who's rejecting  Christ and Church, someone who likes taking selfies. "Who Do You Say I Am?" is an important new documentary about the Shroud of Turin. It shows scientifically and from the Catholic perspective why we can be sure that the Shroud of Turin is a selfie Jesus made of himself 1800 years before the invention of cameras.   In this episode of Footsteps to Heaven, Terry Modica interviews producer Bill Snyder. Summing up the purpose for making this film, he points out its effect on non-believers and doubters: "Does that make a difference in your belief? Does that change your perspective on this?"   The video available at  https://gnm-media.org/ evangelize-with-the-shroud-of- turin/ .   Subscribe to our Footsteps to Heaven website:  https://footstepstoheaven.com/ .   Who else should hear this episode?

2 Secrets to Praying When You Don't Feel Like Praying – Footsteps to Heaven

  Episode #98:  How is your prayer life through the difficult times? Have you found that it’s less than it used to be? Maybe you’ve even said, “God’s not answering my prayers, so I might as well quit praying.” If you’ve reached the point where you feel like you can’t pray anymore, this message is for you. I'll share with you two secrets to praying when you feel discouraged and tired.   If you feel like you can’t pray anymore because it doesn’t make a difference – you’re tired, you’re drained, you’re exhausted from putting in so much prayer effort, and so much effort into emotionally dealing with all the trials that are going on today in your life and in the world — if you find yourself in that situation: Just surrender. You don’t need words.   That’s the first of two secrets to praying when you don’t feel like praying, which I explain how to do based on my own personal experiences.   To get my book, "30 Days to the Father's Heart", go to  https:// 30daystothefathershe

Wielding the Sword of the Spirit – Footsteps to Heaven

  Episode #97:  In this podcast episode I explain how we can be sure that God the Father never gives up trying to turn unbelievers to Jesus their Savior. He never abandons anyone until the point of death when they make their final choice.   We can see this in Hebrews 4:12-16 (which tells us about the sword of the Spirit), in Job 36:5,8-12 (which reassures us, “He makes them listen to correction and commands them to repent of their evil,” and from Saint Alphonsus de Liguori (who tells us about the “veil” of deception getting lifted).   Who are you praying for because you’re worried about their salvation? Imagine that person with nothing on their mind, nothing in their vision, nothing in their field of vision but the Holy Spirit and the truth and Jesus Christ presenting it to them, wielding the Spirit as a sword (a two-edged sword), would that person want to spend eternity with Jesus?   That’s what the Holy Spirit does. That’s what the sword of the Spirit does….   The video and transcrip
