Bishop Barron helped me too! I fill my days as much as I can with his talks, gospel reflections, his series on the beauty of Catholicism, and many Word on Fire topics. One thing I have found so helpful, is that much of his content is free; so he truly does what he says, he evangelizes, and that is for everyone, not just people with money to spend, so I just replace time that I would have spent on the internet being filled with negativity and confusion to this more useful resource WOF (Bishop Barron), to grow my soul.
I’m a Protestant brother, but I just received and began reading the Word on Fire Bible, and I just wanted to state how much I’m enjoying it. I’ve read the gospels many times, but something about the structure this Bible makes it feel new. Thanks for the work that was put into making this text. I look forward to the next volume!
…and you get 7 more books, lol

Thank You !
So grateful for the opportunity to hear intelligent people discussing topics that make me think....I never realized how bored I was with everyday media until these
podcasts came along
Bishop Barron, thank you once more for an incredible video. I have to admit that I had never heard some of the theories before and perhaps I was able to follow most of the discussion but not all of it. That doesn’t deter me, on the contrary. I love challenges and I have always valued learning new things and expanding my knowledge. An avid reader in my youth, I became too engrossed with daily life and stopped. Glad to say, I have picked it up again. I feel very comfortable learning new things from you by being safe in the knowledge that you would never take us anywhere but to the fullness of truth. Thank you! I cherish all of you.
This series of conversations has been absolutely amazing so far.
An exceptional conversation. Well done to everyone at Word on Fire for making such high level discussions happen!
One of the best consersations I have heard with Bishop Barron... and thanks to Dr. Blakely for his insights, stories and wisdom. A one hour well spent. Thank you.
As always an informative and intelligent presentation. Science is great in explaining most of the material, sensory world, but it has little to say about ethics, morality, and abstract concepts like freedom, justice and love. The finite tools of science can’t reveal the infinite and transcendent. I appreciate that Bishop Barron so often reminds us that to rely solely on the scientific method is to limit the full dimensions of what it is to be human. Thank you all for this program. God bless you.
Beautiful! To quote Einstein, Everything that is measurable does not necessarily count and everything that counts is not necessarily measurable.
Levis Shalom
Thanks
Thank you so much for this wonderful conversation.
How nice it was to be a fly on the wall during this exchange of ideas by great minds. Thank you.
I love Bishop Barron finishing the Dylan line along with Dr. Blakely. Sweet!
Hello Annette
Refreshing to hear a narrative that’s meaningful and wise instead of modernity’s false logic and scientism.
Wonderful close to the Dylan discussion and broader conversation: "Charged with the grandeur of God." Blessings to all.
Brilliant conversation that brings us to finding meaning in the world, because human is constantly in search of creating meaning.
Gents, your exchange is very inspiring and so close the matter of life, the way you respect and complement the respective views. And always back to the Bible, thank you for that.
Breathtaking to see that there will always be 'Evangelists' and 'Apostles' in our Church who make *Christ's "I am with you always"* a reality 'until the end of times'.
Thank you so very much for this conversation. Very enlightening and I am looking forward to reading Dr. Jason Blakely's book. God bless all of you for the work you do.
This was so enriching! From politics to poetics to economics to Bob Dylan. Thank you for thought-provoking discussions! God bless you!
However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.
Thank you for making these videos.
So much of the truth of scripture comes to us through stories.
34:30 "Humans are self-interpreting, and they have agency." What a revolutionary concept!
Great conversation.
We clearly need a whole podcast to explore Dylan's art and spirituality.
@@andreylebeuf1304 Huh? Why are you even at this video? Or this channel? Trolling or secretly hoping to believe? And again, regarding your comment; huh?
Hermeneutics wonderfully explained
Terrific.. We do conform to theories and in so doing reduce who we are. In my profession human decision making is sometimes reduced to thinking as predictors of action but what is missing is beliefs and hidden structures which cannot be reduced to patterns of thought
Fantastic! I am all in for a full conversation on Dylan... America's Shakespeare.
I have been a great fan of Dylan since the early 60's. His music and lyrics have touched me in many ways that I did not even understand at the time. I love the was that Bishop Barron and Jason Blakely explain that his music is a work of art that stands on its own. It puts you in touch with the message without requiring a strict interpretation. Sadly while on vacation recently I asked some young musicians playing at a bar if they knew some Dylan. Their response was 'Dylan who'. Every time I listen to Dylan, I find something new. Yes, I am growing younger.
A good counter to the Bishop's account of movies stories that "throw off the father's story" is *Blinded by the Light*. It is about a British teen in the 80s of Pakistani ancestry, who discovers the music of Bruce Springsteen. This leads him on a rebellious path like the one the Bishop describes, BUT he is forced to confront the selfishness in that approach, and the result is very moving.
Friedman and his ilk forget that humans do not do everything out of self interest. They also are loving and altruistic. I am a scientist, zoologist and a Catholic. A liberal education like the one I got in the 1960's is very important to e a good scientist.
"The faithful ears of the people were holier that the lips of the Priests." - Saint Hilary of Poitiers
I feel like I comment this on every one of your videos, Bishop Barron, but I would love to hear you speak with Chris Hedges or Cornell West.
"We human beings are meaning makers ... We make the world much like God makes the world ..."

Hello Mary
I found this discourse to be a profoundly rational discussion based in spiritual and natural realities and perfectly apropos to some of the struggles we are seeing in materialistic and socialist-tending ideals. Where do I go to expose myself to more of this type of discussion?
Stay right with us!
I occasionally visited by aging mother at home 2-3 times a years. This was in the 60's. She had on her bedroom wall, "I was older then, but I'm younger than that now." Where did she get that ?
Bob Dylan wrote My Back Pages which contains that lyric in 1964 but was covered by others such as the Byrds. Their version was more memorable to me. See wikipedia for more info.
Present last merry of my licked student was my sentiment, using my against, convert into full of family's joyful distance near Mee.
Highly intellectual... the successor of Peter today, thunders in our living room...
I would prefer to see this in a dialogue format.
You make me want to talk to a serious theologian
Will pray for your souls
This answers the question why people like Jordan Peterson have so surprised even those he appeals to when he defines in words someone who says, "He's talking about me." They find in him someone who understands them and cares about them and that they can reach for something more and understand themselves. He shows them what they need to do to give their lives meaning: "become personally responsible." It's so much more powerful than Marxism which says you have to take what you need away from someone else which leads to no meaning: nihilism. It tears down your neighbor whereas what JP does is show you you have something of worth to offer your neighbor, yourself and that it makes you happy to give it.
Can you please interview Dr. Bart D. Ehrman, a Biblical scholar who confronts the early forming of the Bible and its entirety and he's also versed in several ancient languages.....
That’s a very generous description of Mr. Ehrman. I would not say that he’s a biblical scholar. He WAS a Protestant that came an angry atheist when confronted with the HISTORICAL reality that Jesus Christ founded a CHURCH, and didn’t hand out 66 books of the Bible. In other words, his world view was crushed and instead of coming hone to the Catholic Church, he became bitter because he was lied to (intentionally or not).. His story is a cautionary tale for all PROTESTANTS and ahistorical non-Christian communities like LDS, JW, and others.
Filius i think that you have to think outside the box. Dr. Ehrman has studied ancient books and gives his honest opinion on how Antiquity rejected and accepted ancient books for the Bible. Also that St. Peter or Paul did not write their books that they claim they wrote for example. He presents the information well researched and let's the audience judge for themselves. He's not trying to change people's mind on their faith. I understand the frustration because I am a Catholic all my life but open to hearing about real research being done by peoplethatknow howtoresearch ancient biblica linformation. But you cannot depend on one or two sources. I think people need to hear what other people have to say. Talking about Augustin or Aquinas although very thoughtful and interesting they are opinions for example in St. Aquinas case from the 1200's. Sure someone can put their whole faith into something in the 1200's they have nothing better to do. Something with no distractions. The point is that Nobody knows what really happened in 33 A.D. after Jesus died. it wasn't until years later that someone claimed that they saw Christ. But then again people were writing and claiming to be Paul or another opostle. But then their writing styles didn't match up all the time. So what does all that bring me to as of a conclusion. I'll tell you what it brings .me to conclude: disappointment! even though I still pray daily, not knowing what will happen in the end. No one has an answer!! No one has a concrete answer There isn't anybody that knows the answer to that question of whT happen s when we die, not even Bishoo Barron. Then what is the point of getting people to convert to Catholism. What Dr. Ehrman does is Well researched information which myself being Catholic have never heard of but very interesting and well researched as i mentioned before. Bishop Barron does Not talk about the origins of the Bible or which books were rejected from the writers at that time but why? His infatuation with Aquinas who lived in the 1200's are you kidding me!! Tge 1200's!! Who is more credible with their research and study?? Hello!!
Story ! 😀 It would be Great to add one more person (future discussion?): Jordan Peterson
Bishop Barron has done some conversations which are available on youtube. They are very interesting.
Jesus is alive❤
In Acts the believers shared voluntarily. In Marx the sharing is enforced by the state. Forced sharing is another word for stealing.
God demanding to be obeyed, loved and worshiped on the punishment of hell - is it not extortion?
@@andreylebeuf1304 You got a point there. But I'm not sure it's related to the issue.
What I meant was that humans like any animal is selfish, which is a quality required for survival in nature. Or if you wish, God created human a selfish animal. Then asking them to be kind and share things with others with threat of hell in case we don't, is extortion. To make it clear, I'm all for sharing. But that is a result of social conditioning human race had undergone over the millennia and helps in group survival. Or am I wrong?
Why is bishop Barron not speaking about the war in the church and the Latin Mass?
🙏🕊🐑
I missed the name if the singer
Bob Dylan
This has nothing to do with this particular podcast you did a lot of movie reviews in the past and as someone who's an atheist or agnostic and used to be pretty militant about it I always gave you a hard time about the religious leanings of your reviews and as I got older and hopefully grew up a little bit I always felt bad about that I felt that the way that you review the movies and your perspective was actually really valid and interesting and which is probably why I still think about it years later even though it's inconsequential so sorry
We aren't supposed to prescribe anti depressants for grief anyway..
Hello Rose
Whenever have I not my self basic living system is in way, is for stope any how, cause dependent and cheesing dreems only economically , is their Respect less demand.
Bishop, I admire and love your poise/wit/class/Professionalism/ and genius-like ability to deliver speeches and this video has them all.It's Exceptionally deep, informative, filled with science-related topics , which makes this video too deep for the normal/everyday people, including myself.I would rather you talk about JOB, JEREMIAH, More on EZEKIEL etc.
Hemeneutics? Knowledge that study interpretation with the bible. This is too perplexing and incomprehensible . Imagine if this kind of study existed during Jesus or Solomon's time.
This is a video where only intellectuals tread, for the point to traverse the plane of rhetoric, thus, we can not transcend with the three of you to where you're leading this deep conversation to.The word " Hermeneutic" is so unfamiliar to me and it's above my grade and just not interested to find out more about this study, which is to study what someone has interpreted. What happened to the simplier way of understanding the interpretation by the common ways of discovering the truth?...........
Does it align to the biblical contents?
Does it align to Jesus Gospel?
Are they biblical? and all the many interrogative ways of finding the truth?
Why complicate the simplicity of knowing what's from God and what's not?
God's work is deep, mysterious and unfathomable for any human being to study them.Can anyone interpret what God is doing since the beginning of time?
I still love you and admire your rare possession of your intellect/mental capacity and showing it in a higher degree as can be seen in this video, But, you're too high and too deep, so you need to come down where " Hermeneutic' will not be part of that conversation.Tell me/us something I can understand and not something I've never heard before.
I present lots of material for a popular audience. These are targeting an academic viewership.
@@BishopBarron I agree. My mental capability just not qualify for this academic audience.:)
@@BishopBarron Yes, I watched a lot of your popular audience videos. Thank you for all of them.
It's ok if these type of discussions are not for you guys. Find something that befitting you. Because there are other ppl beside you guys that tune in for stuff like this. So the Bishop should dumb down everything he does because you guys don't understand him? How about you find the stuff that you understand and let this be for the ppl who understand it, or care to understand it? The nerve!
🙄
it would be better to have a straight podcast between Bishop Barron and a guest (as in the Jordan Peterson podcast way - have a great guest and have a conversation between the two of you).. there is no need for an 'interviewer' or a presenter. he just gets in the way.. it is an unnecessary intrusion and makes the whole thing too 'formal'. there is in fact no need for an in-person format anymore (which limits or delays what guest can be spoken to). no one watching cares if you are in the same room, we just want the content - two minds going back and forth, playing off each other. it is riveting.. in ways the above format is not.
jeremy clarke,
*'Bishop Barron Presents'* is a Word On Fire Institute programme. Jared is the host. Talk-shows are commonplace and can comprise even more number of persons. Viewers have been expressing sincere appreciation for this session much like they did for some earlier ones☆
I stopped listening at 12:50 after hearing Bp. Barron's misrepresentation of Milton Friedman. He NEVER reduced the whole human project to homo economicus. His economics were a reflection of a deeper and broader humanism. If Friedman had been a pope, : ), he would have written this. It certainly reflects his thoughts and his heart.
"Each man in all the unrepeatable reality of what he is and what he does, of his intellect and will, of his conscience and heart. Man who in his reality has, because he is a 'person,' a history of his life that is his own and, most important, a history of his soul that is his own."
I am an atheist who loves these dialogues, neuroscience proves that ' The Humanities' engages all ' the brain' and regions which stimulate empathy, were pure facts do not. A person's experience becomes enriched, and if we value empathy, love etc going forward we need to promote them first and foremost. I am conspiratorial, I believe very intelligent people know this so why are they being suppressed??? So we are in a an obsequious malaise??
I’m curious how you define atheism and why you are an atheist. Seems to me that atheism really can’t be proven. The rejection of a theism is more of a problem of the will, not of the intellect. In my personal experience, most people have deep seated shame or pet sins they want to hold onto, and they know accepting a moral truth giver conflicts with their lifestyle. Therefore, GOD must not exist.
@@filiusvivam4315 there is no free will ( therefore God is not an option for me), we are an organism that is programmed long enough to procreate. All mammalian species are programmed the same, they will lay their lives down for 2 siblings, 4 half siblings, 8 cousins etc, so 100% of our genes are propagated into the next generation. We believe we are in control but any decision we make as already been predetermined ( up to 7 seconds) by the brain. You may suffer from panic attacks, is that your fault? No! The likelihood is when you were a foetus in the womb your mother was stressed and stress hormones flooded her system, resulting in the child growing into an adult with anxiety. Epigenetics. As a serial killer got free will?? At one point there was only Jeffrey Dahmer who had a fully functional brain ( they have damage to their prefrontal cortex mainly) when they had their brains scanned. I am not making excuses for my own behaviour. I was a bad man. In my youth I use to rob criminals ( never civilians) because they could not go to the police and did not use banks. I have had friends murdered, I have had friends kill, but I did not choose to be brought up in an environment of criminality, and a father who would give me a beating at the drop of a hat. I was not that smart to not get involved with violence, but I was smart enough to get out of the situation I was in. PS, how do you feel on a philosophical level that given a Turing machine3D computer) and the right algorithm we can now produce living tissue, it adds weight to the holographic universe principle. Have a great day, all the best.
@@filiusvivam4315 I should have said basically if there is no free will, there is no anthropomorphic God interested in our existence.
@@jackteare8292 I find Your comment very interesting! My english is very poor, but I’ll try to describe my belief, it’s not so different than Yours. When You talk about predestination, as Christian, I think about it too- why Christ said “not my will”, why “all your hair is numbered before you were born”,, Interesting.. I belive in predestination, but also in free choice. If God is ultimate reality, objective truth that makes society flourish (not a creature somewhere above clouds, of course), if before the beggining evereithing was predestinated, do we have a purpose for living or not? I belive yes. With all our subjectivity, we are called to come more out of it and to come closer to objectivity. If You belive in existance of objective truth and objective morality, if You belive “something” is creating harmony among people and “something” chaos, I think my brothers catholics will say “in You is speaking the vicar of Christ”. If You belive harmony is possibile, i think You can call Yourself a beliver. Wish You all the best!
@@laleydelamor1327 thank you for your comment, and your English is fine my friend. I do believe in objective truths. We live in very worrying times when I have seen rational debate shut down. I believe, truth is good and can understand good as God. When I see global leaders around the world tell blatant lies, and see people like the Canadian prime minister and his flippant attitude to churches being burnt down, I find that deeply disturbing. We are entering a phase where a global totalitarian regime is being implemented and Christianity is under attack. Although I am an atheist, I believe in truth and not 'Plato's noble lie.' I actually prayed the other week for a Canadian Pastor and his family who was jailed( which I have not done in decades.) I want the best for humanity, and I try to be the best man I can be. Are you familiar with Fyodor Dostoevsky's works, he really touches on the deep aspects of the human psyche? The Brothers Karamazov is mind-blowing, but I am quite enamored with ' The Dream of a Ridiculous Man' which is one of his short stories at the moment. You have a great weekend my friend, and all my love to you and your family.
Bishop Baron, the Pope, just gave you the option as Bishop to keep or dismiss the Latin mass. What will you do?
