Bakhita’s Blessings Podcast – Episode 17: JESUS IS THE KINGDOM

In this special episode of Bakhita’s Blessings Podcast, hosts Fr. Mitch Doyen and Dr. Alice Prince are joined by Shameem Clark Hubbard, Alderwoman of the 10th Ward in the City of St. Louis. Together, they delve into the profound message of today’s Gospel: “Today this passage is fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:18-19).

Fr. Mitch reflects on how Jesus boldly announces His mission to heal the sick, forgive sins, and set the world free from sin and death. Jesus’ coming into the world is the embodiment of the Kingdom of God, bringing heaven and earth together through His life, death, and resurrection. This Gospel reminds us that our lives are a participation in the life of Christ, calling us to announce freedom for captives and abundance of life for the poor.

Dr. Prince and Alderwoman Hubbard discuss how this mission resonates with the realities of our community, offering hope in the face of challenges. Alderwoman Hubbard shares her insights on leadership, faith, and the ways we can work together to bring the Kingdom of God to our neighborhoods.

The episode concludes with a call to action: to trust in God’s love, remain hopeful in the face of life’s storms, and live out the Gospel in our daily lives. With faith and courage, we are empowered to transform our troubled world into the very Kingdom of God.
