TOS083 Tabernacle of the Lord

The Tabernacle of the Lord with host Patti Brunner takes a distinctive gaze at tabernacles in Catholic Churches, the Mosaic tabernacle of the Old Testament and the tabernacle of the heart of the baptized.  The tabernacle of Moses in the desert was a foreshadowing of the joy that now takes place not in the desert tent but everywhere that the people of God dwell.  The ‘real’ tabernacle comes down from heaven; it is Jesus, true God true Man.  For video, audio, or to read the script, please continue reading below.

TOS081 Patriarchs of the Old Testament

For audio only PPN

The Patriarchs show a way to seek God and to share our lives with him. On Truth of the Spirit, host Patti Brunner discusses the Patriarchs of the Old Testament starting with Abraham, our Father of Faith, and then continue the blood line. I’m going to tell their story.  I will show you how they foreshadow Christ and the Church.  The Lord chose one man and then touched members of his family as faith continues to be handed down to the generations.  This model is used over and over throughout history and is the basis for our Church.  As Abraham connected with God and lives were changed so, too, those of the modern world.

TOS054 Basics to Reading the Bible for Catholics

TOS054 Basics of Faith II: Basics to Reading the Bible For audio TOS054: Basics of Faith II – Basics to Reading the Bible | Listen Notes

One of the goals of the Truth of the Spirit podcasts is to remind you of the Spirit filled facets of our Christian faith, sometimes returning to the basics to allow you better access to teachings and actions of those inspired by the Holy Spirit. Please join Patti Brunner and Truth of the Spirit to explore Basics of Faith with the Basics to Reading the Bible for Catholics. The Church “forcefully and specially exhorts all the Christian faithful… to learn ‘the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ‘ (Phil 3:8) by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures” (Catechism #2653). Anybody can pick up a bible, open it, and start reading it. I want to explain to you how the bible is structured so you can understand how wonderful the bible is! The bible teaches us the ancestral history of Jesus true man. But it does more. It helps us to see that Jesus is true God. The Bible is a communication from God to Man. The entire bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit using human writers to record and share the truth.

TOS030 Healing Prayer with Lissa Applewhite

TOS030 Healing Prayer with Lissa Applewhite (Part 5) for audio: TOS030: Healing Prayer – Truth of the Spirit (podcast) | Listen Notes

Our God is a God of Healing, He desires us to be whole. God provides healing in his words.  In Proverbs 40:20-23, “Pay attention to what I say, turn your ear to my word, don’t let out of your sight; keep them in your heart, for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.”  Lissa Applewhite suggests that various words of scripture are God’s “medicine” for our healing, our restoration, and our continued health!  Reading and memorizing these scriptures allow these words to sink deep into mind and spirit but if we go a step further by proclaiming these words out loud they become action!  Action speaks louder than words!

TS020 Truth of the Spirit; Sword of the Spirit with Sheila Canup

The Sword of the Spirit is part 6 of 7 of the series on the Truth of the Spirit Armor of God.  Ephesians 6:17 says, “And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”  During our darkest hours Satan will come to tempt us or torment us and attack us.  He doesn’t stop.  He tempts us to question the Father‘s will for us and his love for us.  He looks for every opportunity to lead us to discouragement and depression and despair.  The lies are overcome by the light of truth in God’s Word and the Sword of the Spirit.
