Word on Fire FORMATION PROGRAMS

CATHOLICISM

Bishop Robert Barron created this groundbreaking program as a thematic presentation of what Catholics believe and why, so all can come to a deeper understanding of the Catholic Faith. Not a video lecture, Church history or scripture study, this engaging and interesting program uses the art, architecture, literature, music and all the treasures of the Catholic tradition to illuminate the timeless teachings of the Church.

CATHOLICISM: The New Evangelization

In this program, Bishop Barron shows us how to put our faith into action with new ardor, new methods and new expressions. The “New Evangelization” is defined and explained by Bishop Barron and various commentators on Faith and Culture. In addition, the program showcases living examples of those who have answered the call to spread the Good News in today’s increasingly secular culture.

Conversion: Following the Call of Christ

Bishop Barron uses six stories from the Bible to demonstrate how ordinary, sinful people are met by Jesus in all ages and called to a better life through him. Conversion is not so much a one-time event, but a life-long process of focusing one's attention and energy toward an ever-deepening relationship with Christ.

Eucharist: Sacred Meal, Sacrifice and Real Presence

Take a deeper look at the “source and summit” of our Faith, the Eucharist. Bishop Barron brings to light the Blessed Sacrament’s reality as Sacred Meal, the Sacrifice necessary for communion with God, and most importantly, the Real Presence of Christ.

Seven Deadly Sins/Seven Lively Virtues

The seven deadly sins are patterns of dysfunction that lead us to unhappiness. Bishop Barron explains the pervasiveness of pride, envy, anger, sloth, greed, gluttony and lust and shows us how to counteract these sinful patterns through a conscious focus on virtue.

Untold Blessing: Three Paths to Holiness

The greatest calling for all of us is to become a saint and the journey toward holiness is full of untold blessing. Bishop Barron describes this journey as three paths: Finding the Center in Christ; Knowing You Are a Sinner; and Realizing Your Life is Not About You.

Priest, Prophet, King

In this deeply biblical study, Bishop Barron brings us closer to Christ not only as our Savior, but also as the consummate Priest, Prophet, and King. These divinely-ordained roles, foreshadowed in the Old Testament, become our calling as well once we are baptized into Christ.

The Mystery of God: Who God Is and Why He Matters

In this six-part film series and study program, Bishop Barron reaches into our rich intellectual tradition to teach us how to respond to Atheism. Using the insights of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Pope Benedict XVI, he uncovers a clear yet sophisticated understanding of what we mean by “God".
