Justin Bieber’s Ecce Homo

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

You might not have a clue who Bieber is. Or, if you are aware of the existence of the crown prince of Stratford, Ontario, you might not give two hoots about him. But I’m guessing that there is a young person in your life who does. So, for the sake of the children, please hear me out. Read more

GG makes a BELIEBER! out of Steve Brown: Listen for yourself!

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

Ya know, I've been interviewed a lot over the last five or six years and I have to say that, hands down, my favorite venue to be grilled publicly is on the Steve Brown Show. Earlier today I recorded a new episode with "The Old White Guy," as Pastor Brown calls himself, about BELIEBER! and it was an absolute hoot. The show airs this weekend on the Salem Radio Network (click HERE to find stations and air times), but you can listen to it now by clicking on the link below. Read more

An Invitation to The Great Conversation

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

A California vicar I know likes to describe the life of faith — the Church — as “The Great Conversation.” It is a conversation to which we all (and what part of alldon’t you understand?) are invited. When followers of Christ share their faith with others, they are inviting them to join the sacred conversation. This is evangelicalism in its truest sense. This is what we are called to do. By the One, by Emmanuel, “God with us.” Read more

Waiting to Exhale

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

Lately, I’ve been holding my breath. It’s actually something I inherited from my mother’s side of the family. Many of my female relatives on the Irish side of the clan have this habit of holding our breath when we’re talking—or rather, listening—or concentrating, or thinking. And especially when we’re anxious. Stress makes many people turn to comfort food, while others lose their appetite. Some folks chew their nails; some look for relief in the bottom of a cocktail glass; still... Read more

GODSTUFF: “The Mighty Macs” is Mighty Marvelous

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

Rarely do I leave a cinema and feel the urge to tell everyone I know to run out and see the film I’ve just watched. But that is precisely how I felt after a recent screening of “The Mighty Macs,” an outstanding new independent film with a subtle yet powerful spiritual message that opened in theaters nationwide last week. “The Mighty Macs” is based on the true story of the Immaculata College women’s basketball team that rose from obscurity to...
