Eternal Christendom Podcast

The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.

For this Great Rosary Campaign, as we approach the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States of America this week, let us pray for the USA: for its people, its leaders, its institutions, and offer our gratitude to God for all our blessings as Americans, despite our obvious challenges.

The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord...

In this episode, we interview Joshua's sister, Nancy Charles, who also serves as Eternal Christendom's Director of Operations. She was miraculously converted to the Catholic Faith out of the LGBTQ+ lifestyle, drug abuse, and multiple suicide attempts.

Now she is exposing the lies about so-called "LGBTQ+ Catholics," and explains the Catholic Church's answer to these lies: the call to find our FULL identity not in our temptations and sins, but in Christ.

For this "Hollywood Edition" of the Great Rosary Campaign, this week let us pray for the conversion of one of the world's most successful Directors, James Cameron, famous for blockbusters such as "Titanic" and "Avatar."

Today we are inaugurating a new mini-series: the "Eucharist Snapshot." Like the "Papal Snapshot," the Eucharist Snapshot will go document-by-document to prove the ancient roots of Catholic belief about the Eucharist.

This first "Eucharist Snapshot" will cover the Didache, perhaps the most ancient Christian document outside the Bible, and the incredibly Catholic things it says about the Eucharist as a sacrifice.

In this fascinating and profound episode, we dive into the deep mysteries of St. John's Gospel with John Johnson, the founder of Patmos Hosting and the Albertus Magnus Institute (and Joshua Charles's sponsor into the Catholic Church). Johnson reveals that St. John was likely a student of Aristotle, and used his most powerful rhetorical techniques to communicate the most sublime truths about Christ, the Eucharist, the betrayal of Judas, and the authority of Peter.

Particularly now, let us pray that Steven Spielberg comes to th...

In this latest Papal Snapshot (our second episode this week), we dive into St. Boniface's oath of obedience to the Pope. St. Boniface was appointed by St. Pope Gregory II to be "apostle to the Germans," and brought the Catholic Faith to Germany. In this commission, St. Boniface understood the obedience he owed to St. Peter's successor in Rome as the chief authority in the Church on earth.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we cover an incredible apparition of Our Lady and St. John—the most ancient recorded in the writings of the Church Fathers—to St. Gregory Thaumaturgus, a great Church Father and bishop of the ancient Catholic Church. When he asked for wisdom to better understand the Catholic Faith and defend it against heretics, they appeared and provided him a completely orthodox confession of faith almost a century before the first Ecumenical Council of Nicaea.

Yet more ancient evidence that Our Lady has...

In our first episode since Easter Sunday, and in light of the extraordinary number of new Catholic converts this year, we cover the amazing (and very familiar sounding!) conversion account of the first early American Puritan Pastor to the Catholic Faith. His name was John Thayer. He was known to Benjamin Franklin, and even challenged John Adams on Luther and Calvin. He converted in 1783, the same year the United States won its independence from Great Britain, and later became a priest dedicated to evangelizing his beloved...

For this Holy Week 2026, we read St. Pope Leo the Great's Good Friday Sermon 70, delivered on April 2, 443, 1,583 years ago! This is the final sermon in our 2026 series "The Mystery of Lent with the Church Fathers," and in it, St. Pope Leo the Great reminds us that for Christians, taking up the cross is not an option. If we refuse, we will be damned. If we accept and endure to the end by God's grace, we will be saved.

May we join Our Lord on...

Once more, this great Pope and Church Father presents us with powerful Lenten themes of sacrifice and penance being the marks of true Christians. Lent is what proves we are Christians. If yours has not gone as well as you hoped: it's not over! You still have time to offer generous sacrifices for Our Lord in preparation for the Passover.

Once more, this great Pope and Church Father presents us with powerful Lenten themes of sacrifice and penance being the marks of true Christians. Lent is indeed the "bootcamp" for Christian soldiers, and the "training field" for Christian athletes.

For this fourth week of Lent, we read St. Pope Leo the Great's Lenten Sermon 39, delivered on February 9, 441. Once more, this powerful sermon reminds us that the conquering of self is absolutely vital to Christian life and salvation. This great and saintly Pope especially reminds us that three of the most powerful means of doing so is forgiving others, fasting, and almsgiving.

May this Lent be arduous and sanctifying!
