#168 - Do You Really Want Heaven… or Just Your Version of It?

We all say we want heaven. But what if we've quietly redefined it? In this episode, inspired by The Hell There Is, we look at a striking moment that reveals something uncomfortable: we don't always want the real heaven—only a version of it that fits us. What if heaven isn't built around our preferences… but around truth, transformation, and complete union with God? This episode explores why clarity about heaven—and hell—matters more than ever, why our choices carry eternal weight, and why we need to be formed by Christ, the Church, and the sacraments… not just our own ideas. This isn't about fear. It's about waking up to what's real—and choosing it. Tan Books The Hell There Is - Author Interview: Msgr.

#167 - What Is the Leper in Your Life? | St. Francis, Surrender & Real Change

What if the reason your life hasn't changed… isn't because God isn't working—but because there's something you don't want to surrender? In this powerful episode, Cyndi explores the life of St. Francis of Assisi and the moment that changed everything: his encounter with the leper. Why did Francis run toward what he once feared? Why did he walk away from wealth, status, and security? How did one man's yes still impact the Church more than 800 years later? Through the lens of "Ecce Homo" — Behold the Man — Cyndi reflects on Christ crucified, total trust in the Father, and the invitation each of us faces today: What is the leper in your life? The very thing you resist may be the place where grace is waiting. A powerful reflection on surrender, healing, holiness, and what becomes possible when Christ is truly King of the heart.

#166 - It Was Never Locked: A Good Friday Story of Mercy

On this Good Friday episode of The Cyndi Peterson Show, we reflect on one of the most powerful and hope-filled moments in the Gospel—the encounter between Jesus and the good thief, known as Dismas. A man with no time left… no way to make amends… no chance to fix his past… simply turns to Jesus and says, "Remember me." And in response, Jesus offers him everything: "Today you will be with me in Paradise." What does this moment reveal about God's mercy? And why do we so often struggle to believe that this same mercy is available to us? Through Scripture, the wisdom of the Saints, and a moving allegory of a man standing before a door he believes is closed, this episode invites you to reflect on what may be holding you back—hurt, shame, fear, or the feeling of unworthiness. Because the truth is simple, even if it's hard to accept: The door has never been locked. God's mercy is not something we earn—it's something we are invited to receive. This Good Friday, take a moment to pause, reflect, and ask yourself: What is keeping me from trusting in His mercy? And maybe, like Dismas, all you need to say is: "Jesus… remember me."

#165 - Who Is Like God? The Weapon That Defeats Satan

How does God defeat Satan? Not through spectacle or force — but through humility. In this episode of The Cyndi Peterson Show, we examine the fall of Lucifer, the pride that shattered heaven, and the surprising role of St. Michael — an Archangel, a servant — as the one who confronts rebellion with a single cry: "Who is like God?" Drawing from Scripture, the Church Fathers, St. Augustine, the Catechism (CCC 409), and the Church's teaching on the nine choirs of angels, we uncover a powerful pattern: spiritual warfare is not won by brilliance or dominance, but by obedience, surrender, and fidelity. From David and Goliath… to Mary's fiat… to Christ's obedience on the Cross… humility defeats pride every time. We also explore: • The real battlefield of spiritual combat — the human heart • How Satan tempts through autonomy and self-definition • Why Confession, Eucharist, prayer, fasting, and devotion to Our Lady are the Church's weapons • What the Prayer to St. Michael teaches us about dependence on God Spiritual warfare is not dramatic. It is daily. It looks like forgiveness. Confession. Trust. "Thy will be done." Lucifer fell because he would not serve. Michael stands because he serves. And every time you choose humility over pride, you stand with heaven.
