Revealing The True Light with Mike Shreve

The last of five “sacred doors” in Rome and at the Vatican will be closed on January 6, 2026. Around 30 million Catholics have made a pilgrimage there in 2025, proclaimed by Pope Francis to be a special “year of Jubilee.” By walking through those doors, pilgrims hoped to earn indulgences facilitating an escape from the suffering of Purgatory, either for them or their deceased loved ones. Is this religious tradition a glorious opportunity or spiritual exploitation? Are they doors of blessings or doors of deception?Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: http://www.toCatholicswithlove.org (English & Spanish) Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

According to Catholic doctrine, Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a virgin before, during, and after the birth of Jesus—and thus, a virgin eternally. Is this true? Does the Bible verify this concept? Did any respected leaders in the early church promote this idea? So much hinges on these questions being answered correctly.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: http://www.toCatholicswithlove.org (English & Spanish) Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

How appropriate it would be if the attitude of gratitude was highlighted in a ninth beatitude, “Blessed are the grateful, for God often works miracles for them!” In this "True Light" episode, you will discover that the story of Jonah in the Bible is completely different from what most people have been taught. We will also find out that thankfulness was the primary key to his deliverance. Two other powerful, real-life stories illustrate this powerful concept even more powerfully. Try it!

How did the universe begin, or did it even have a beginning point? At least seven schools of thought exist in various religions in this world. They cannot all be right. Only one view is true at the expense of the others being false. One religious group even insists that because of evil abounding in this world, the Deity who created it must be evil. Others believe Ultimate Reality is both evil and good for a similar reason. Learn the various views, but most importantly, the correct one.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: http://www.toCatholicswithlove.org (English & Spanish) Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Is it necessary to confess your sins to a priest to properly obtain forgiveness? The Catholic Church says “Yes!” Did the early church practice the sacrament of Confession? If not, when did this tradition begin? Is it biblical or heretical? Have major passages of Scripture been misinterpreted to support this practice?

The “third eye” is a mysterious, eerie image of an eye in the middle of the forehead. Does it really exist? Is it the sixth chakra, as Hindus and New Agers claim. If so, what is its function and purpose? Do chakras exist and do they need to be awakened? And the most important question—did Jesus believe in “the third eye” and the other chakras, and did He teach His disciples this mystical concept?Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org (English & Spanish) Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) is the last of seven Feasts that God instructed the Jews to celebrate annually during the Old Testament era. It is taking place this year (October 6-13, 2025). There are five main levels of interpretation to all the Feasts: historical, practical, symbolical, spiritual, and prophetical. As we visit every level, we will discover the genius of the Everlasting Father who often hides His mysteries in this intriguing, symbolic way.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org (English & Spanish) Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) is the holiest day of the year for a devoted Jewish person. Israelites throughout the world just participated in its call to repentance (from nightfall on Wednesday, October 1, to sundown on Thursday, October 2, 2025).

Are all human beings children of God? The politically-correct answer would be an unequivocal, “Yes, all people of all religions are worshiping the same God, and they are all His children!” But is that true? Or are there certain criteria that must be fulfilled to “become” a child of God? The answer to this challenging question is complex and there are layers of revelation.

In 1274 A.D., Purgatory was officially declared a doctrine of the Catholic Church. This netherworld location has been described as a place of flames, punishment, intolerable pain, and purification, before those subjected to it graduate to the bliss of heaven. Purgatory cannot be proven by the Bible. Along with indulgences, it is one of the primary beliefs that led to the great Protestant Reformation.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Can human beings direct angels to do their bidding? Some Bible teachers say that Christians can and should. Angels are ministering spirits sent forth to minister to and for the heirs of salvation, so shouldn’t we exert some kind of authority over them?
