Footsteps to Heaven - Faith Amidst Adversity

Episode #71: God wants to give you faith that conquers stress. COVID-19 has triggered anxiety in a lot of people. On March 28th, Good News Ministries was part of an online conference called Our Faith, Our Hope, Our Love. This podcast is Terry Modica’s part in that event, as she renews the peace that comes only from faith in Christ. God is making many blessings sprout up from the pandemic.

But faith is not something we can build through our own efforts. Faith is a gift of the Holy Spirit.

To deal with adversity, keep your eyes on Jesus and see him smiling at you! Take time to let him reveal to you his perspective of anything that's worrying you.

Look at the timing of the pandemic! The whole world is going through a Lenten exercise of making sacrifices, whether people understand this or not, regardless of whether or not they believe in Christ. And since God reveals his plans in the timing of things, we can rest assured that the whole world is going to experience an Easter of new life. And after Easter comes the descent of the Holy Spirit. Imagine what might happen throughout the world then!

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:// 30daystot...
