Friends, why do we bother to evangelize? In my keynote address at the Good News Conference, I share the two main reasons. The first is to save souls from Hell, both in the eternal and temporal sense, to free them from destructive patterns and bring them to healing through right praise. The second reason we evangelize is to let people know who their Lord is. We do this through living out the universal call to holiness, which includes a life committed to poverty, chastity, and obedience. ———LINKS——— More Content from the Good News Conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGpL-deihSI&list=PL-qxMAIuRCZncwu_BI5YsdtM0Glvw8J5N Bishop Barron and Fr.

Friends, the “new atheists” have emerged as strident critics of religion. More often than not, though, Christians agree with them, for the God they deny is one that we would deny as well. In my address to the Thomistic Institute at St. Mark's University Parish of the University of California Santa Barbara, I explore this curious situation with the help of St. Thomas Aquinas, looking especially at Thomas’ treatment of the noncompetitive relationship between God and the world. ———VIDEO LINKS——— Bishop Barron on King, Aquinas, and our Nation's Future: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNLWWiDXI8s Bishop Barron on The New Atheists: https://youtu.be/Xe5kVw9JsYI Bishop Barron on Why I Loved to Listen to Christopher Hitchens: https://youtu.be/vW8yBnpN48w Joe Rogan, Richard Dawkins, and God (Part 1 of 2): https://youtu.be/ltZzX8ZnELM ———WATCH——— Subscribe to this Channel: https://bit.ly/31LV1sn​​ Word on Fire Institute Channel: https://bit.ly/2voBZMD​​ Word on Fire en Español Channel: https://bit.ly/2uFowjl​​ ———WORD ON FIRE——— Word on Fire: https://www.wordonfire.org/​​ FREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): https://dailycatholicgospel.com/​​ -----WORD ON FIRE INSTITUTE----- Join Bishop Barron and over 20,000 evangelists inside the Word on Fire Institute at https://wordonfire.institute ———SOCIAL MEDIA——— Bishop Barron Instagram: https://bit.ly/2Sn2XgD​​ Bishop Barron Facebook: https://bit.ly/2Sltef5​​ Bishop Barron Twitter: https://bit.ly/2Hkz6yQ​​ Word on Fire Instagram: https://bit.ly/39sGNyZ​​ Word on Fire Facebook: https://bit.ly/2HmpPpW​​ Word on Fire Twitter: https://bit.ly/2UKO49h​​ Word on Fire en Español Instagram: https://bit.ly/38mqofD​​ Word on Fire en Español Facebook: https://bit.ly/2SlthaL​​ Word on Fire en Español Twitter: https://bit.ly/38n3VPt​​ ———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE——— Donate: https://www.wordonfire.org/donate/​​ Word on Fire Store: https://store.wordonfire.org/​​ Pray: https://bit.ly/2vqU7Ft​

Friends, parts of the Old Testament depict God commanding the Israelites to massacre entire populations—every man, woman, child, and animal. How should Christians make sense of these passages? They seem to present God as angry, vindictive, and genocidal, contradicting the New Testament presentation of God as loving and merciful.

Friends, among the largest problems within the Church today is the massive disaffiliation of our own people, especially the young. In this lecture for the University Series, I reflect on the religiously unaffiliated by answering these three essential questions: - Who are the “nones"? - Why are they leaving? - How do we get them back? ———VIDEO LINKS——— Bishop Barron Comments on Why Christians Leave Church: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7MZvIuZGB4 Bishop Barron on the Rise of the “Nones”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG2mtELrxkg Evangelization 101: A Conversation with Leah Libresco Sargeant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFWYMEA22Ek Bishop Barron on How to Draw Young People Back to the Church: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeD6zVEhmMc ———WATCH——— Subscribe to this Channel: https://bit.ly/31LV1sn​ Word on Fire Institute Channel: https://bit.ly/2voBZMD​ Word on Fire en Español Channel: https://bit.ly/2uFowjl​ ———WORD ON FIRE——— Word on Fire: https://www.wordonfire.org/​ FREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): https://dailycatholicgospel.com/​ ———SOCIAL MEDIA——— Bishop Barron Instagram: https://bit.ly/2Sn2XgD​ Bishop Barron Facebook: https://bit.ly/2Sltef5​ Bishop Barron Twitter: https://bit.ly/2Hkz6yQ​ Word on Fire Instagram: https://bit.ly/39sGNyZ​ Word on Fire Facebook: https://bit.ly/2HmpPpW​ Word on Fire Twitter: https://bit.ly/2UKO49h​ Word on Fire en Español Instagram: https://bit.ly/38mqofD​ Word on Fire en Español Facebook: https://bit.ly/2SlthaL​ Word on Fire en Español Twitter: https://bit.ly/38n3VPt​ ———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE——— Donate: https://www.wordonfire.org/donate/​ Word on Fire Store: https://store.wordonfire.org/​ Pray: https://bit.ly/2vqU7Ftspiritual life for the sake of the world.

Friends, in this Q&A session with the Maronite clergy following my talk on the priesthood, I answered several questions, including: - Did Adam love Eve for the sake of God? - What is Mary’s role in Jacob’s ladder? - Do you have practical advice for people feeling confined by their vocation? - How should we pick our battles as we wrestle with the world? - How do you approach the concept of free will and reconcile it with our slavery to God? - What practical steps can we take in our parishes to keep people from disaffiliating from the Church? ———VIDEO LINKS——— Bishop Barron’s Q&A Session for FOCUS SEEK Conference 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2A6SMJiFjI Bishop Barron on Mary, the Greatest Woman Ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yED_mBd0gZA Bishop Barron on Drawing Young People Back to the Church: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeD6zVEhmMc Bishop Barron on Why Catholics Leave the Church: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dftZ5K_EA4s ———WATCH——— Subscribe to this Channel: https://bit.ly/31LV1sn Word on Fire Institute Channel: https://bit.ly/2voBZMD Word on Fire en Español Channel: https://bit.ly/2uFowjl ———WORD ON FIRE——— Word on Fire: https://www.wordonfire.org/ Word on Fire Institute: https://wordonfire.institute/ FREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): https://dailycatholicgospel.com/ ———SOCIAL MEDIA——— Bishop Barron Instagram: https://bit.ly/2Sn2XgD Bishop Barron Facebook: https://bit.ly/2Sltef5 Bishop Barron Twitter: https://bit.ly/2Hkz6yQ Word on Fire Instagram: https://bit.ly/39sGNyZ Word on Fire Facebook: https://bit.ly/2HmpPpW Word on Fire Twitter: https://bit.ly/2UKO49h Word on Fire en Español Instagram: https://bit.ly/38mqofD Word on Fire en Español Facebook: https://bit.ly/2SlthaL Word on Fire en Español Twitter: https://bit.ly/38n3VPt ———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE——— Donate: https://www.wordonfire.org/donate/ Word on Fire Store: https://store.wordonfire.org/ Pray: https://bit.ly/2vqU7Ft

Friends, in this Q&A session with St. Thomas More Catholic Chapel and Center at Yale University, I answered a variety of questions from students, including: - Do you think that the culture’s view of sex has kept people outside of the Church? How do we charitably share our view? - What did you decide to give up for Lent? - How do we discern if bad things are tests from God, Satan, or just the way of the world? - What are some opportunities for evangelization that COVID has produced? - Why is confession necessary for the forgiveness of mortal sins? - If you could have dinner with one saint, who would it be and why? ———VIDEO LINKS——— Bishop Barron on Preaching the Gospel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA5UunU5YYo Bishop Barron the Intellectual Life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfMgKp2WQKQ Bishop Barron on Hope During the Coronavirus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8lVpB6EJJM ———WATCH——— Subscribe to this Channel: https://bit.ly/31LV1sn Word on Fire Institute Channel: https://bit.ly/2voBZMD Word on Fire en Español Channel: https://bit.ly/2uFowjl ———WORD ON FIRE——— Word on Fire: https://www.wordonfire.org/ Word on Fire Institute: https://wordonfire.institute/ FREE Daily Gospel Reflections (English or Español): https://dailycatholicgospel.com/ ———SOCIAL MEDIA——— Bishop Barron Instagram: https://bit.ly/2Sn2XgD Bishop Barron Facebook: https://bit.ly/2Sltef5 Bishop Barron Twitter: https://bit.ly/2Hkz6yQ Word on Fire Instagram: https://bit.ly/39sGNyZ Word on Fire Facebook: https://bit.ly/2HmpPpW Word on Fire Twitter: https://bit.ly/2UKO49h Word on Fire en Español Instagram: https://bit.ly/38mqofD Word on Fire en Español Facebook: https://bit.ly/2SlthaL Word on Fire en Español Twitter: https://bit.ly/38n3VPt ———SUPPORT WORD ON FIRE——— Donate: https://www.wordonfire.org/donate/ Word on Fire Store: https://store.wordonfire.org/ Pray: https://bit.ly/2vqU7Ft
