| Saint Stories for the Soul Saint Damasus I, Saint Lucy, Saint John of the Cross (Ep. 491)
Our souls were not made for fragments.
Not for convenience.
Not for a faith trimmed to fit our lifestyle.
They were made for communion—for the total, transforming intimacy of God.
In an age of noise and speed, when screens pull our attention in a thousand directions, and the spiritual life becomes something we “fit in,” Saint Stories for the Soul invites us back to who we truly are. Each week on IGNITE Radio Live, we step into the lives of three saints—ordinary men and women who faced fear, fatigue, injustice, and confusion, yet chose God without reserve.
They weren’t born holy.
They became holy by letting grace reorder everything.
These aren’t distant legends. They are living witnesses—mirrors for our souls. Their stories remind us that holiness is not a future achievement but a present calling. It’s the daily, deliberate choice to Live IT Today.
This Week’s Saints
Saint Damasus I — Defender of the Unbroken Truth
In a world roaring with division and rival claims, Damasus stood firm—preserving the true faith during one of the Church’s most fractious centuries. He reminds us that truth is not fragile and that clarity is an act of love in an age of confusion.
Saint Lucy — Light the Darkness Could Not Quench
A young virgin-martyr whose radiant courage confronted an empire, Lucy’s life proclaims that light is most powerful when the night is deepest. She calls us to hold fast when pressure mounts and to let Christ’s flame burn through fear.
Saint John of the Cross — Love That Walks Through the Night
Imprisoned, betrayed, and isolated, John discovered in darkness the God who cannot be taken away. His witness invites us to trust God’s hidden work—even when we feel abandoned—and to let suffering become the doorway to deeper love.
These saints don’t belong behind glass or in history books.
They belong in our homes, our workplaces, our marriages, our parenting, our choices.
They remind us of who we were made to be: people of mission, mercy, and truth.
So whether your heart feels distracted, discouraged, or simply hungry for more, tune in this week and be reminded:
You were made for heaven—and the journey begins right where you stand.

NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO
I WROTE THIS BOOK nearly a year before President Trump was elected.
ONLY IN RECENT WEEKS have I been moved by the most consequential discovery of all: my protagonist. Willie. Charlie. In the heart of the public square when everything is going south. Courageously speaking truth in love. One who ignites revolution. In the only way one can.
If it weren’t for a single woke-wounded review, the book would be rated 4.9/5.
