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!

8/9/23 - Today we'll explore one of history's most well-known Marian apparitions, Our Lady of Guadalupe. In 1531, Our Lady appeared to Juan Diego near Mexico City. She brought with her a request that a church be built in her honor. Also unique is the fact that the Blessed Mother revealed herself to Juan Deigo by name, stating: "I want you to know for certain, my dear son, that I am the perfect and always Virgin MARY, Mother of the True God from Whom all life comes, the Lord of all things, Creator of Heaven and Earth." Join us today as we unpack the happenings that led to Mary's title as "Patroness of the Americas."

8/7/23 - Many, if not most, Americans have experienced anxiety and other mental health conditions in their lives, and most are hesitant to seek help. If you're one of those people, did you know that there are some natural remedies that you might be able to try at home? In the Gospel of Matthew, Our Lord tells us: "Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?" Surely God doesn't want us to struggle, so that must mean that a solution is in sight... so, what is it?!

8/3/23 - The priesthood is a sacred covenant with God and his Holy Catholic Church. What does that mean for the way that a man must carry himself day-to-day after becoming a priest? How much responsibility does the average priest hold, and what is he expected to do to fulfill those responsibilities? We're seeing more and more men failing to fulfill their priestly duties... so what does that mean for the future of the priesthood and the church as a whole? Catholic priest Fr. Jeff Fasching returns today to offer his thoughts on the nature of the priesthood. To support Fr. Fasching in his day to day needs as a "cancelled" priest, please consider donating at givesendgo.com/veritas

8/1/23 - Chris Lewis is the illustrator behind BARITUS Catholic Illustration. A convert to the Catholic faith with a professional background in graphic design and a love for illustration, this project came to fruition through a parallel journey in discovering the Truth of Christianity through Catholicism and a return to drawing after many years of setting it aside. The two paths converged after a series of spiritual and intellectual conversions in 2018, and the idea of beginning a project focused on sharing the Catholic faith through art was born. BARITUS is an artistic project dedicated to preserving the legacy of our rich Catholic artistic traditions, but in a way that resonates today.
