    Do Not Be Afraid PII - Go Limp and Live

    So Jason and I were in the process of redoing some of the first episodes because we didn't feel the sound quality was very good. We rerecorded the Do Not Be Afraid episode with our current thoughts and I was about to delete the old episode when I saw that it was the most downloaded episode. Well I am not going to delete the most listened to episode, but we had to decide what to do with the new episode. No need to waste it. We will just throw it up here with the others and keep chugging along. Hope you enjoy it as much as the first one.  It is interesting...Jason and I are doing this podcast as a a record of our journey as men of God. If people listen to it and get something out of it, that's great. If they don't, then Jason and I will at least have a record of our faith journey. I haven't listened to the original Do Not Be Afraid episode since we published it. I wonder how we have changed as we have progressed on our journey. If you notice any differences or contradictions, please don't hesitate to let us know. We sincerely appreciate all of you out there listening and welcome the interaction as our fellow children of God. God bless everyone!

    “When Culture Becomes an Idol: Humility, Covenant, and the Forgotten”

    What happens when culture becomes more important than love? In this episode of The Mathematic Catholic, Jerrod and Jason tackle one of the most uncomfortable questions facing Christians today: Have we sometimes used Scripture to protect our culture rather than to reveal God's heart? From ancient Israel to the modern Church, believers have wrestled with the temptation to draw lines between the "acceptable" and the "unacceptable," the insider and the outcast. We examine five biblical passages that have often been used to justify exclusion, explore the strongest arguments behind those interpretations, and then ask a simple question: How would Jesus respond? Along the way, we discuss humility, covenant, Church scandals, the danger of cultural idolatry, and why Christ consistently sought out the people everyone else wanted to avoid. This is not a conversation about abandoning truth. It's a conversation about whether truth can ever be separated from love. If God makes His dwelling among the forgotten, what happens when we turn them away? Join us as we explore the logic of the Gospel and discover why culture without love ultimately loses sight of Christ Himself. "When we protect culture more than we love people, we risk losing the very God we claim to defend."

    The Plank, the Speck, and the Logic of Annoyance

    Why do some people irritate you instantly while others barely bother you at all? What if the people who annoy you most are actually exposing something hidden inside yourself? In this episode of The Mathematic Catholic, we explore the uncomfortable logic behind annoyance, insecurity, ego, and fear through Christ’s famous teaching about the plank in your own eye and the speck in someone else’s.     Music by original_soundtrack https://pixabay.com/music/main-title-epic-cinematic-inspirational-music-427250/

    Irreversible Justice - The Logic of the Death Penalty

    Is the death penalty justice—or fear disguised as order? In this episode of The Mathematic Catholic, Jerrod and Jason explore whether execution can ever be morally licit under Thomistic natural law. They examine Aquinas, Romans 13, and the modern Catechism, asking: What does “necessity” really mean? Does salvation at death justify execution? What role does pastoral care play? And how does heaven shape earthly justice? This is not abolitionism or retribution—it is a sober reckoning with irreversible justice in a fallen world.

    Is Lying Worse Than Murder and Other Sins Ranked

    Are sins ranked? Does guilt matter? Why does God say He does not desire sacrifice but obedience? In this episode of The Mathematic Catholic, we explore how Scripture, the Catechism, and Vatican II reveal a non-sentimental logic of the Cross: sins are not ranked to judge worth, but to discern responsibility; guilt is not meant to imprison us, but to guide repair; and nothing in our lives—even sin—is wasted in God’s economy. This is not soft theology. It is obedience lived with clarity, humility, and love.

    Vatican II

    Was Vatican II a disaster… or a divine challenge? In this episode of The Mathematic Catholic, we move past nostalgia and outrage to ask the real question: Now what? If Vatican II called the laity to maturity, responsibility, and disciplined faith—are we finally ready to live it? We explore catechesis, confession, evangelization, and how to implement the Council today with clarity, courage, and love. No fear. Just forward.

    Bone of His Bone

    Why did God allow Israel a king, and how does that lead to the Eucharist? This episode follows a path from David and Jerusalem to Baptism, Confirmation, and Christ the King. If we are truly Christ’s Body — His flesh and bones — then the Eucharist does more than unite us: it forms us to give ourselves in sacrificial love, as He did.   Music by original_soundtrack https://pixabay.com/music/main-title-epic-cinematic-inspirational-music-427250/

    Do Not Be Afraid

    “Do not be afraid” appears over 300 times in the Bible — but it’s more than comfort. It’s survival. Jerrod and Jason explore how going limp in a car crash saves the body, and how trusting God saves the soul. Fear makes us tense and break. Trust lets us roll through impact and rise. God’s wisdom is built into creation.

    Sacrifice and Enshitification

    What happens when society stops offering its best and starts offering its worst? In this episode of The Mathematic Catholic, we contrast the biblical logic of sacrifice with the modern reality of enshittification—the deliberate degradation of products and culture for profit. Drawing from Scripture and Catholic social teaching, we argue the solution is not political or top-down, but personal.
