The Simple Truth
The Simple Truth, hosted by Jim Havens, airs each weekday from 4-5PM(EST) on The Station of the Cross Media Network. The focus of the show is authentically receiving, living, and transmitting the simple Truth of Jesus and His Catholic Church. We're in challenging times, but we are made to rise up and meet the challenges before us with Christ. We'll be proclaiming all that is good, true, and beautiful, applying it to real life, and we won't shy away from the difficult topics, especially lifting up the truth in those areas where it is most unpopular, and therefore most needed. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "The disciple of Christ consents to 'live in the truth,' that is, in the simplicity of a life in conformity with the Lord's example, abiding in his truth. "If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth." Join us live on the radio, on YouTube, Facebook, or listen to the podcast!

7/23/24 - Jesse Romero, host of Jesus 911 heard on The Station of the Cross, joins the show to discuss his book One Lord, One Faith, One Church: An Inconvenient Truth (co-authored with Paul Zucarelli). It's no secret that there is an abundance of so-called Christian sects populating a wide range of churches, with different worship services and teachings regarding the salvation of your soul. But how can one intelligently make sense of this if there is one God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever? In this book, you will learn about the historical origins of the Church, early Church leaders, significant places in Church history, where the tenets of the Nicene Creed come from, and how the books of the Bible were selected. In addition, you will gain an understanding of key Church scandals in history and their "triggering events" that led to further fracturing of the Church. You will also discover how precisely to respond to the division that has occurred throughout the centuries. Moreover, you will receive the biblical basis for the universal Church and the four supernatural proofs for the one true Church.
