Knowledge about God isn't the same as knowing God. Steve Wood puts it perfectly in "Transforming Grace"... head knowledge without a living relationship falls short. Real faith is a relationship, not just information. What's helped you move from knowing about God to knowing Him? Visit BibleforCatholics.com.

“The entire success or complete failure of the Christian life and discipleship revolves around the Word of God.”

In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus reveals that the same seed (the Word of God) can produce very different results depending on the soil where it lands.

In Episode 597 of the Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood explores Matthew 13 and the four kinds of soil Jesus describes. What makes a heart receptive to God’s Word? What keeps the seed from taking root? And how can parents cultivate a love for Scripture that bears fruit not only in their own lives, but in the lives of their children?

The question Jesus’ parable leaves us with is a personal one: What kind of soil is my heart?

“The organ for seeing God is the heart. The intellect alone is not enough.” — Pope Benedict XVI

Jesus’ parables remind us that faith is about more than simply knowing the right answers. In Matthew 13, Christ shows us that truly understanding the Kingdom of God begins in the heart.

In Episode 596 of the Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood explores why Jesus spoke in parables, the “secrets of the Kingdom,” and why passing on the Catholic faith must reach both the head and the heart.

Are we making the Catholic faith feel heavier than Jesus intended?

In Matthew 11:28–30, Jesus invites those who are weary and burdened to come to Him—not for more pressure, but for rest. His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.

In Episode 593 of Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood explores the difference between struggling to earn God’s favor and learning to live through the grace of Christ. Drawing from Matthew 11 and the Council of Jerusalem in Acts 15, Steve explains why performance-based Christianity can leave young people exhausted—and why the freedom of the Gospel may be one of the missing keys to preventing Catholic youth washout.

Listen to “Resting in Faith: The Second Missing Key to Preventing Catholic Youth Washout” at BibleforCatholics.com (or link in comments). Discover how parents, grandparents, and catechists can help young Catholics experience faith as a relationship of grace rather than an impossible burden.

“We love because He first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19

His love comes first. Our response is to receive it, live in it, and share it with others.

Knowing the answers is not the same as knowing God.

Young Catholics may learn the prayers, memorize the teachings, and attend religious education—but information alone cannot sustain a lifelong faith.

In Episode 592 of Faith & Family Bible Study, Steve Wood addresses what he calls a Catholic educational emergency and explains why personally knowing the Father through Jesus Christ is essential to helping young people remain faithful.

The crisis is real, but there is hope. The answer begins with moving beyond simply teaching young people about God and helping them truly encounter Him.

How can families make more time for what matters most in a culture of constant busyness?

In our July newsletter, Steve Wood reflects on the Third Commandment and the often-forgotten wisdom of honoring Sunday. He explains how setting aside time for God can help families restore their priorities, resist the pressures of work and screens, and create more room for worship, rest, conversation, and meaningful time together.

Steve also shares practical ways to strengthen family life throughout the week and previews an upcoming study of the prophet Jeremiah.
