Daily Spark with Dr. Angela (radio)

For nearly twenty centuries, the Roman Catholic Church withstood all the currents of change and history and maintained a closely guarded orthodoxy.  Join Dr. Angela and Griff as he talks about his new book and what it means about the church.

Sede Vacante Part Two: The Lumen Gentium Theory About Our Present Ecclesial Circumstance

What happens when we take a closer look at Vatican II, Lumen Gentium, and the questions surrounding authority, hierarchy, and the structure of the modern Church?

Dr. Angela welcomes author Griff Ruby for a thought-provoking conversation about his latest book, the theological implications of Lumen Gentium, and what his research reveals about the Church's present ecclesial circumstances.

Most of us have had moments when everything looked right on paper. The opportunity seemed perfect. The relationship appeared healthy. The partnership made sense. The numbers added up. The timing seemed ideal. Yet despite all the logical reasons to move forward, something within us felt unsettled. We couldn't quite explain it. We couldn't point to a specific problem. We simply sensed that something wasn't aligned.

Key Scripture: Colossians 3:15 — “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts…”

Some call it discernment; others call it intuition or a gut feeling. No matter its name, it's there and working for your good.
