episode The Eighth Commandment: Rooting Out the Lies That Choke Our Lives – Ed Van Buskirk – 06/18/2026 cover

Description

The walk through the Ten Commandments continues on The Catholic Morning Show as Ed Van Buskirk joins host Deacon Mark Campbell to explore the Eighth Commandment: "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." Van Buskirk contrasts truth and lies, explaining how a single lie binds us, makes us a "slave to a lie," and — like a dandelion gone to seed — blows in the wind and multiplies, creating chaos, distrust, and isolation. He cites St. Thomas Aquinas on the necessity of mutual confidence for human community and points to Satan as the father of lies in the Garden. The remedy, he says, begins with stopping the lie, then humbly admitting it, making amends, and restoring the relationship. Reflecting on Christ's words "I am the way, the truth, and the life" and Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane to "consecrate them in the truth," Van Buskirk reminds listeners that truth is holy and sacred — and that nothing hidden stays hidden, so it is far better to bring our sins, even sins of omission, into the light of God's mercy now. Commandment number nine is up next week.

Coveting Explained: The 9th & 10th Commandments & How to Beat Envy – Ed Van Buskirk – 06/25/2026

What Coveting Really Means Often dismissed as "just thinking about things," the Ninth and Tenth Commandments are anything but minor — Ed Van Buskirk calls them the key to living all the other commandments. He distinguishes ordinary desire (which is good and God-given) from coveting: a disordered emotional attachment we foster until it drives us to act against our own good or our neighbor's. His memorable example: begrudging a neighbor's pristine lawn and sabotaging it, versus humbly asking the neighbor for help so we can grow. Judging Our Desires, Not Just Our Actions Ed and Deacon Mark Campbell explore how we tend to "judge our insides by other people's outsides," especially through social media and comparison. The test: do the things we pursue draw us into deeper relationship with God and neighbor (the two greatest commandments), or only puff up self? When desire — for money, status, or possessions — clouds our judgment, it becomes the doorway to breaking other commandments like stealing and lying. As Jesus warns in the Sermon on the Mount, sin begins in the heart. The Prescription: Virtues That Heal Coveting Ed offers practical remedies: humility (recognizing that God is God and we are not), turning to Mary in moments of temptation ("Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners"), gratitude for both small and large blessings, and frequent Reconciliation to be made new. We sacrifice our peace when we fail to recognize the good already present in our own lives. Explore the Resources This series wraps up next week.

The 4 Senses of Scripture: How to Read the Bible Deeper – Monica Welsh – 06/25/2026

What Are the Four Senses of Scripture? Monica Welsh describes the four senses as a lens for drawing out the deeper meaning of God's inspired Word, which always has more than one layer. They fall into two categories: the literal sense and the spiritual sense (which includes the allegorical, moral, and anagogical senses), together giving a "360-degree view" of any passage. Start with the Literal — the Foundation Like the foundation of a house, the literal sense is what the human author intended to convey — and it isn't always obvious for 21st-century readers of an ancient text. Monica points to genre, literary devices, metaphor, and especially historical and cultural context as keys. Her example: when Jesus says "if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off," the surrounding sermon, His rabbinic teaching style, and His audience make clear He is speaking metaphorically about sin, not literally. Why a Teaching Authority Matters Reading Scripture in isolation can lead to misinterpretation, which is why the teaching authority of the Catholic Church is so important for interpreting the Word faithfully. Monica shares how the "wrathful" Old Testament God once troubled her as a teenager — until the literal lens revealed how ancient writers expressed power and authority, dissolving the false idea that the God of the Old Testament differs from the God of the New. The Bible Points to Jesus Monica recounts the "lightbulb moment" with her ninth-grade students studying Adam and Eve: the Tree of Life bearing fruit for eternal life prefigures Jesus on the tree of the Cross, who says "eat me and you will have eternal life." As the Letter to the Hebrews teaches, the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword — and it is layered, intentional, and ultimately all about Christ.

The Shunammite Woman & the Hidden Face of Christ – Deacon Randy Kiel – 06/25/2026

This Sunday's Readings Deacon Randy Kiel previews the readings for the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A — Sunday, June 28, 2026: First Reading, 2 Kings 4:8-11, 14-16a; Second Reading, Romans 6:3-4, 8-11. Read along at USCCB.org [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/062826.cfm?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show]. A Woman of Influence — and Generosity The Shunammite woman is wealthy and influential, but she is known for her generosity, welcoming Elisha with an "upper room" complete with a bed, table, chair, and lamp — the very elements of a sanctuary. Deacon Randy draws out the Hebrew sense that true influence flows from a generosity of grace: receiving God's goodwill and pouring it out for others. Foreshadowing Mary When the childless woman is promised a son within the year, the story echoes Abraham and Sarah — grace given through generosity made manifest in the gift of a child. Deacon Randy connects this to Mary, who came from a "barren land" and did not merely reflect God's grace but gave birth to Grace itself. Baptized into Christ Turning to Romans, Saint Paul reminds us we were baptized into Christ's death so we might walk in newness of life. Deacon Randy unpacks the meaning of being plunged into the waters of Baptism — drowning sin so the Holy Spirit can reign — and prays that the Word of God would not return empty but accomplish its purpose in every listener.

The Catholic Morning Show – 06/24/2026

On The Catholic Morning Show today Sam Halligan hosts this week while Bo Bonner is away (back next Monday). Two conversations anchor the morning — one on the interior life and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the other on community, culture, and what really brings people together. Living in the Sacred Heart of Jesus — Betty Bosarge Betty Bosarge, OSF — retired criminologist, Secular Franciscan, and Fr. Robert I. Bradley's longtime editor — introduces Bradley's new book, The Pathway to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, from Angelico Press [https://angelicopress.com/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show]. She unpacks how the Holy Eucharist and devotion to the Blessed Mother open a genuine pathway to living within the Sacred Heart, and how Fr. Bradley's three-stage rule of life makes holiness practical for laypeople. The conversation lands in a fitting season: on June 11, 2026, the U.S. bishops marked the nation's 250th anniversary with the consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus [https://www.usccb.org/consecration-united-states-sacred-heart-jesus?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show]. The World Cup, Belonging, and the Common Good — John Huynh John Huynh, director of social justice for Catholic Charities of Des Moines [https://www.catholiccharitiesdm.org/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show], reflects on the 2026 FIFA World Cup [https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show] as a rare moment of global community. Drawing on Catholic social teaching and G.K. Chesterton, he explains why healthy societies grow from the bottom up — through families, parishes, neighborhoods, and even youth sports — and how to turn a "warm fuzzy" feeling into the everyday work of loving your neighbor.
