On this “Memorable Verses” edition of Deep in Scripture, Marcus Grodi welcomes former nondenominational pastor Don Smith to talk about the meaning of redemptive suffering, and how God calls us to hope, regardless to our circumstances. As St. Paul tells both the Colossians and the Romans, suffering is unavoidable; but in the midst of it, if we trust the cross, hope will ultimately prevail.
“Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the Church.” -Colossians 1:24
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Romans 15:13

On the latest "Memorable Verses" edition of Deep in Scripture, Marcus Grodi and Ken Hensley look at St. Paul's letter to the Philippians and his thoughts on imitating Christ, and the famous "hall of faith" in Hebrews 11. We are called to imitate Christ, but in addition to Jesus, we have other models of faith and obedience in the patriarchs and prophets of God that followed His will before even realizing the promise of the incarnation.

Marcus Grodi continues his "Memorable Verses" series of Deep in Scripture by welcoming Matt D'Antuono, whose work appears regularly at the National Catholic Register. On this episode, they look at I Timothy 3:15 and Ephesians 2:8-9. It's a great answer to some of the false dichotomies that exist in certain theological circles; faith cannot be separated from works, nor can Scripture be separated from the Church.
"(I)f I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth." I Timothy 3:15
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God— not because of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

On the latest "Memorable Verses" edition of Deep in Scripture, Marcus Grodi and Matt Swaim look at the importance of humility in the spiritual life, not only for keeping harmony with our neighbors, but also for staying in relationship with Christ. Jesus gives us the example of humility, as St. Paul tells us in his letter to the Philippians; and as Isaiah tells us, sometimes that humility means waiting upon the Lord rather than advancing our own agendas.

Marcus Grodi continues his "Memorable Verses" series with Dr. John Bergsma, looking at the teachings of Jesus about the end of the world, and the importance of staying connected to God's word, no matter what the future holds. When we see trouble in the world, or even trouble in the Church, we should not despair that God is no longer in control; we should rather trust more radically in the promises of His word, that he will be a source of strength for us.
"Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect." Matthew 24:44
"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." Psalm 119:11

TL Putnam, host of Outside the Walls, joins Marcus Grodi to look at a couple more "Memorable Verses" from the Scriptures, specifically addressing the questions of providence and priority. They look at Jesus' call to seek first the Kingdom of God in Matthew 6:33, and Paul's testimony to God's providence in Philippians 4:19 as ways to understand that when we put God first and foremost in our lives, he provides for us in ways we could never imagine.

In the latest Memorable Verses edition of Deep in Scripture, Marcus Grodi and Seth Paine look at what the Scriptures have to say about what it means to abide in Christ, and specifically how loving one another helps us to abide in Christ. Reflecting on one passage from John's Gospel, and one from his first Epistle, they dig into how God's love empowers us not only to remain in him, but also to share that love with others. Seth even sings his verse, so be listening for that!
"Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:4-5
"Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God, and everyone that loves is born of God, and knows God. He that loves not, knows not God, for God is love." I John 4:7-8

Marcus Grodi continues his "Memorable Verses" series with Jeff Cavins, founder of the Great Adventure Bible Timeline. They look at the Great Commission, as well as St. Paul's exploration of how God reveals himself through creation, and talk about what those two passages tell us about how we're supposed to share our Catholic faith. They dig into natural law, faith, and reason, and touch a lot of interesting bases along the way!
“Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse." Romans 1:20
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20

Marcus Grodi continues the theme of "Memorable Verses" with Ken Hensley, who works in pastoral care for The Coming Home Network. This time around, they select from John the Baptist and King David, and look at how both of these men attracted acclaim in the eyes of men, but both ultimately realized that to find true fulfillment, they needed to remind themselves that it is God who gives all good things, and He Himself is the one who can fulfill us.
"He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30
"You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand." Psalm 16:11

On the latest "Memorable Verses" edition of the Deep in Scripture podcast, Marcus Grodi and Catholic Bible study author Sonja Corbitt talk about two verses from the Psalms that are crucial to understanding how to live in relationship with God. Marcus shares how delighting in the Lord is the way to find true fulfillment, and Sonja talks about how being obsessed with anger distracts us from our true purpose as children of God.
