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!

7/5/21 - The world, the flesh, and the devil are all opposed to us praying and praying well. Ultimately, it is not just our prayer that they are after, it is our very identity that is under attack – if the enemy can take us out at the level of our understanding of who we are, who we are called to be in Christ, who God is, and what our true relationship is, then he can easily take us out at the level of prayer. The stronger we see and believe in our identity in Christ, and the more we freely say "yes" to live it, the stronger our lives of prayer will be. Learn more on today's episode of The Simple Truth!
