Hey everyone… its been a little while since the last update to TheReformedCatholic.com, and I apologize. I had to do a little of what I guess you could call “Soul Searching” and see what direction I wanted to take this in. I wanted to see how I could make this a better podcast and web resource for people in the Catholic Church to discover the Message of Jesus Christ and lo and behold, it’s not easy… there’s a lot of junk on the internet leading people the wrong way, and that’s alarming… because there’s only one way to heaven, and the world has tens of thousands of options leading their viewers astray… to hell…

Now, don’t start throwing stones… I want people to “love me no matter what” as much as the next guy but I also want to love them enough to tell them the truth. Hey, it’s not my truth anyway… Jesus said it Himself… “I am the way, the truth, and the life and NO ONE comes to the Father except through me.” So, where I’m going with this is, don’t shoot the messenger.

I heard something disturbing this week, but something that actually holds a good amount of weight… It was Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs that said “People don’t read anymore.”  When I was a kid, I was a voracious reader. Why? Because we only had four television channels, because my family sat in the living room reading the daily paper, comic books, etc. Because I was reading the latest Hardy Boys mystery or Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. We didn’t have podcasts or internet sites and cable or satellite TV with 238 channels and “Nothing On” as Bruce Springsteen would say. Reading was a major component of American life just a short time ago.

I want to take this Website and podcast in a slightly different direction… “Kick it up a notch” as the celebrity chef Emeril would say, and add a little of this and a little of that… including some reading.  I’m going to make the main messages smaller, a little less theological, and add in components such as book reviews, website reviews, Bible Study resources, and maybe some interviews if I can get them. Would you like to be interviewed (or maybe interview me) on The ReformedCatholic.com? Shoot me an email and we’ll get the ball rolling.
