Contemplating Life with Chris Young

In this episode, I continue a multipart series in which I adapt some of the lesson plans I used as I taught the Catholic faith for 30 years. I’m not here to convert anyone. I’m just sharing my stories. In this episode, we try to understand how Scripture was created from oral traditions. We engage in an exercise where we write some Scripture of our own.Links of Interest for this episodeNew American Standard Bible (NASB) on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_American_Standard_BibleThomas Merton on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_MertonThe Prayer of Thomas Merton: https://reflections.yale.edu/article/seize-day-vocation-calling-work/merton-prayerGenesis 3:9 (NASB): https://bible.usccb.org/bible/genesis/3?9Exodus 3:4 (NASB): https://bible.usccb.org/bible/exodus/3?41 Kings 19:11-18 (NASB): https://bible.usccb.org/bible/1kings/19?11Hebrews 1:1-3 (NASB): https://bible.usccb.org/bible/hebrews/1Ephesians 1:8-10 (NASB): https://bible.usccb.org/bible/ephesians/1?8Epistles on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistle#New_Testament_epistles1 Thessalonians  2:13 (NASB): https://bible.usccb.org/bible/1thessalonians/2?132 Peter 1:19-21 (NASB): https://bible.usccb.org/bible/2peter/1?192 Timothy 3:14-17 (NASB): https://bible.usccb.org/bible/2timothy/3?14General reference links for this series.List of episodes of this podcast dealing with religion: https://contemplating-life.com/blog/category/religion/RCIA/OCIA on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Christian_Initiation_of_AdultsNew American Standard Bible (NASB) at the US Conference of Catholic Bishops: https://bible.usccb.org/bibleBible Gateway (multiple translations available): https://www.biblegateway.com/Catechism of the Catholic Church on Vatican website: https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTMDan McClellan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@maklelanDan McClellan on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/danmcclellann“Data over Dogma” podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dataoverdogmaFor more episodes: https://contemplating-life.com/Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/contemplatinglifeWhere to listen to this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/contemplatinglifeYouTube playlist of this and all other episodes: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFFRYfZfNjHL8bFCmGDOBvEiRbzUiiHpq

Contemplating Life – Episode 110 – “The Cost of Revenge”In this episode, I recount a harrowing experience with a health scare last week and an incident that angered me so much that I indulged the darkest parts of my personality to plot a revenge that I never intended to deliver, but simply crafted to give me peace of mind. What that plot told me about myself was quite revealing.

In this episode, I continue a multi-part series based on my 30 years of teaching the Catholic faith in my local parish’s inquiry program. This is the second part of my very brief overview of the Old Testament. We examine the differences between Catholic and Protestant versions of the Old Testament and the reasons behind those differences.

In this episode, I bemoan the lack of new or innovative content on broadcast TV based on the offerings of this new fall season. We also take a statistical look at the recent Emmy awards and notice that the few broadcast and basic cable shows nominated did not earn any wins.

Although all of my podcasts are listenable, this one includes charts and spreadsheets that you may want to view on the YouTube version.Links of Interest for this episodeNote: Normally, I would provide links to every TV show mentioned, but this link list would be massive.

While proofreading my previous episode, I realized the theological point I was making was also a commentary on the political divisiveness we find in our country today. Here are my thoughts regarding ways that the teachings of St. Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians delivered a poignant message that is applicable to our secular society today. You don’t have to be a Christian to appreciate the wisdom of his message. Links of Interest for this episodeEpisode 98: https://contemplating-life.com/?p=5281 Corinthians 12:12-27: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/1corinthians/12?12Papal encyclical on the “Mystical Body of Christ”: https://www.vatican.va/content/pius-xii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-xii_enc_29061943_mystici-corporis-christi.htmlRev.

In this episode, I depart from my original plans to continue turning my old Scripture lessons into podcast episodes. I’ve been going through old audiocassettes and downloading them to my computer, and I found some long-lost lectures that were key to my faith journey as a foundation of the lessons taught in the Catholic Church for 30 years. I hope to return to presenting more of those lessons and upcoming episodes soon.Links of Interest for this episodeFr.

While I can’t do that with you physically, I want to try to cover the same material with you.
