Mining The Mysteries: A Catechetical Podcast

Anglican Province of America

Mining the Mysteries is a catechetical podcast that explores the depths of our Orthodox and Catholic faith in the English tradition. We delve into the significance of catechesis, highlighting its unfortunate scarcity in modern Churches and emphasizing the importance of reclaiming the profound richness of authentic Catholic formation.

Mining The Mysteries: A Catechetical Podcast ·

2025/12/02

In this episode, we dig deeper into the theology behind the Third Commandment, "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." Moving beyond mere cursing, we discuss the mystery and holiness of God’s self-revelation as the transcendent "I AM" in Exodus. We connect the Old and New Testaments by identifying Jesus Christ as the embodiment of this divine name, through whom we all find salvation and adoption into God's family. We wrap up the episode with some practical

Catechesis #23 - The 10 Commandments (No Graven Image)

Mining The Mysteries: A Catechetical Podcast ·

2025/11/19

In this episode, we explore the second commandment, which forbids graven images. We clarify that God's focus is on worship and allegiance, not on the images themselves. We examine ancient contexts such as animism, pantheism, and polytheism that surrounded Israel, showing how this commandment preserves the distinction between Creator and creation. We discuss how the Incarnation—Christ as the image of the invisible God—makes sacred images appropriate when used properly for veneration. We also

Welcome back to Part Two of our series on the Ten Commandments. In this episode, we shift our focus from loving God (the vertical aspect) to loving our neighbor (the horizontal aspect). We explore what it really means to show practical, sacrificial love to everyone, including those with whom we disagree and those in positions of authority. Our goal is to move beyond theoretical understanding and actively fulfill the law through quiet, Christ-like service in our homes and communities.

In this episode, we discuss the first four commandments and our duty to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength. We explore how we live in a pre-Christian culture where basic biblical knowledge can no longer be assumed, making catechesis more important than ever. Additionally, we discuss how humanity was created in God's image to reflect His righteousness, with Adam serving as both priest and king in the Garden of Eden. Finally, we examine how the Holy Spirit enables us to fulfill

In this episode, we discuss whether the Law of God remains necessary for Christians today. We also explore how the spirit of autonomy in American culture undermines biblical order, examine Jesus's declaration in Matthew 5:17-20 that He came to fulfill, not abolish, the law, and critique the hyper-grace movement's dismissal of sanctification while explaining the "third use of the law" as a guide for Christian living. Baptized Christians are called to grow in righteousness through

In this episode, we move from the seven sacraments to studying the Law of God and the Ten Commandments, addressing key theological questions debated among Christians. We define the Law, distinguish between the universal natural order in creation (Psalm 19) and the written Commandments, and discuss its necessity and relevance today. We examine the Law's three functions: as a curb against chaos (Romans 13), a mirror to reveal sin and guide us to Christ (Galatians 3), and a guide and delight for

In this season finale, we discuss why Christian marriage is a lifetime vocation of mutual sacrifice, order, and holiness. We also trace marriage from Genesis to Revelation and examine its form and ministers—hints: the couple, not the priest. We discuss Ephesians 5, the concept of the "domestic church," typical obstacles and annulments, and how love counters the self-centeredness of our culture. Additionally, we recommend the fantastic book "Sacred Marriage: What If God Designed
