Season 4 just started and we're already 15 episodes in. We're in a brink of a mid-season break. This episode, we'll talk about COURAGE. Many Catholics/Christians are eager to stand up and risk losing friends last election to support a candidate they believe in, but do we have the same bravery to defend marriage and the family? I don't want to sit and relax as we watch the culture burn. Let's talk about what we can do about it. In DIRRRTY POP, I invited tech co-founder and podcaster, Macky Daus of The Progress Neighborhood podcast to join me as we review Stranger Things 4. It's one of the best season of the series and Macky has theories. What are those? You need to listen to find out. Listen to The Progress Neighborhood podcast in your favorite podcast platform.

He authored several books including Pope Peter, A Man named Joseph, and the book that we’ll talk about this week, The Early Church Was the Catholic Church. One other description about him from the Catholic Answers website is, he loves tormenting his loved ones with terrible puns. VOLTAIRE DELOS REYES joins us as co-host. He is one of our co-panel in our weekly Unboxing the Bible series in Unboxing Catholicism Live, every Sundays at 8PM. He also has his Youtube channel called The Noisy Sheep. In this episode, we talked about why the first 200 years of the Church is a reliable period of determining orthodox Christian teaching, why this period proves that the Catholic doctrines are in line with early Christian's beliefs on Baptism, the Real Presence, and the Church hierarchy. All these and more in this week's episode of THE JAY ARUGA SHOW podcast. Follow Joe Heschmeyer's works in Catholic Answers and his blog Shameless Popery.

How did Woke culture even gain this so much power? We have big businesses to blame for this. In this week's episode, let's take a peak at Vivek Ramaswamy's book Woke Inc. Inside Corporate America's Social Justice Scam. We'll also talk about ESG (Environmental, Social Governance). Do you here the terms "Diversity and Inclusion" in your company?

Roe v. Wade was just overturned, the US is doing damage control, but it seems like in the Philippines we wanted to jump head first freefalling to the damage. There's a lot of conversation to be made and we need to "reframe" the discussion. How do we do that? What does reframing mean? Listen to this week's episode. In PAYONG ARUGA, papayuhan natin ang mga na-trigger at sumigaw sa langit ng "NOOO!" upon the overturning of Roe v. Wade. In WHAT'S NEWS, paguusapan natin ang nanay na in-attempt patayin ang pito niyang anak. Nope, I'm not talking about abortion. But is there a difference?

This month, Catholics celebrated Corpus Christi, Christ's ultimate act of humility where He, through the incarnation, became human, suffered like us, for the sins of the world. We examined the beatitudes and what it really means to be happy. But it started with humility. We talked about that virtue and what it means to follow Christ. In DIRRRTY POP, lay preacher at the Feast Ortigas, host of the Holy Sheep Podcast, our friendsheep, Bro. JPaul Hernandez joined us to talk about Top Gun: Maverick.

EDWIN VALLES is the president of Courage Philippines, a Catholic apostolate for persons with same sex attraction, which provides a safe place to live chaste lives faithful to the teachings of the Church. His choice to follow the Lord is truly an inspiring story. In this episode, we talked about his faith journey from living a gay lifestyle to knowing Christ and accepting God's plan for our sexuality. We also talked about why using labels such as "gay", or "lesbian", draws us away from living our true identity, which is, a child of God. Know how to connect with Courage Philippines if you're a person with same-sex attraction, or Encourage Philippines if you're a friend/family of someone who has one.

Last week, we talked about the Matt Walsh's documentary WHAT IS A WOMAN? Although, we didn't really answer the question. This week, we will, and the answer is not "a woman is someone who identifies as a woman". We'll consult our trusty friend, Biology. Also, as a bonus, we'll also answer another question--- what is a man? And we'll discuss why Intersex don't prove the gender ideologues' claims. In SAGUTIN ANG TANONG, may video na kumakalat, France Villarta's TED talk about The Gender-fluid History of the Philippines. How do we respond when someone forwards that video to us? Here's a link to the video. Lastly, in WHAT'S NEWS, the Daily Wire reported a Dallas gay bar that hosted a drag show where they invited kids to participate.
