Go Rebuild My Church
”Go Rebuild My Church.” In these Podcasts, we explore ways to put into practice the words spoken to St. Francis of Assisi by our Lord Jesus and how this theme is relevant as we seek to bring renewal to the Church today! Leslie’s and my passion for renewal was ignited when we returned to the Catholic Church 14 years ago. And that is when we heard the call to rebuild and joined efforts with many other renewal movements within the Church. You can learn more about our journey home and our lay apostolate dedicated to renewal in the Catholic Church by visiting our website at www.catholicdiscipleshipministries.org. Our prayer is through the ministry of this Podcast program and our lay apostolate we can provide pathways for you to join the rebuilding process and experience renewal. We want to welcome listeners joining us for the first time. In our podcasts, we look at the sacred scripture, excerpts from the catechism, the lives of the saints, and the teaching of the Church, as we seek to challenge individuals, families, and local parishes to Rebuild and Renew the Catholic Faith here in America.

There is an unseen force working in the Church within Western culture that must be addressed. That force is SECULARISM. A clear and simple definition of secularism is this: an inordinate focus on the here and now. In this podcast, the Doanes address this force that causes God's people to lose their vision of eternal realities. St. Paul said this: "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is ...
Peter and Leslie discuss why the Ascension matters to our faith journey. Stop, and think-there is a Man in heaven, the God-Man, Jesus Christ. When He appeared to St. John in Revelation chapter 1, John fell at His feet like a dead man. He is the one who had leaned on Jesus' breast. The Ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven gives the believer hope in our own future and confidence in this life, knowing that the God-Man is at the Right...
Throughout history, the Church understood that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ changed everything. In this podcast, Peter and Leslie discuss the effects of the resurrection on the personal lives of Christian believers. We are called to a resurrection mindset. St. Paul tells us that if Christ has not been raised, then our faith is futile and we are still in our sins (1 Corinthians 15:14). He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
Scripture teaches us that "today is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2). We must make the most of the time the Lord gives us. In this podcast, Peter and Leslie discuss how Holy Week gives us a new opportunity to rediscover the crucifixion of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Holy Week is not just some memorial or remembrance of past blessings. Rather, it is a call to encounter anew what Jesus did for us on the Cross. Let us ...
Peter and Leslie share the second part of their Lenten series. Both Catholics and, now, Evangelicals are choosing to walk this path for these forty days before Easter. In this podcast, the Doanes discuss how the call to conversion is not a one-time event but rather a determined mindset for all God's People as they follow their Lord and Savior. Everyone will benefit as they say YES to this shared scriptural truth and build confidenc...
Peter and Leslie open a critical dialogue about a stumbling block that has plagued God's People, both in the Old and New Testaments. The issue is called syncretism. Syncretism is the union of the true faith with the surrounding worldly culture. There is no better time than Lent to allow the Holy Spirit to come and search our hearts and set us free. As Lent 2026 begins, this podcast will help each of us find the small gate and narro...
Leslie and Peter discuss the seventh and final pillar of Catholic discipleship: go and share your faith. Jesus chose His disciples for two reasons: first, to be with Him, and secondly, to GO! In this podcast, both Catholics and Evangelicals are challenged to consider their walk with Jesus. Are there places where I am "going out" and reaching others? "Going out" is how we bear fruit for eternal life! The conclusion of this series wi...
To become a true disciple of Jesus Christ, we must learn to conduct spiritual warfare. Throughout history, the Church has been referred to as the Church Triumphant, those in heaven, and the Church Militant, those of us on earth. Each of us is engaged in a warfare that St. Paul calls a wrestling match. In this podcast, you will both learn about the victory we have in Jesus Christ, which He secured through the Pascal Mystery, a...
The Doanes present part five in their series, "Rebuilding Discipleship in the Catholic Believer." Both Catholics and Evangelicals are hearing the call to become disciples of Jesus Christ. Receiving and then functioning with the spiritual gifts the Holy Spirit pours into us may be the most neglected area in the formation of 21st-century disciples. In this podcast, you will learn both the importance of spiritual gifts and also how to...
Peter and Leslie continue their series, " Rebuilding Discipleship in the Catholic Believer." Both Catholics and Evangelicals are hearing the call of the Holy Spirit to discipleship. Discipleship is foundational in the New Testament. Say "YES" to Jesus Christ and follow Him. We believe there are seven pillars to say "YES" to this call —a must for clergy, consecrated religious, and the laity. In this podcast, the Doanes share h...
Peter and Leslie continue their series, " Rebuilding Discipleship in the Catholic Believer." Both Catholics and Evangelicals are hearing the call of the Holy Spirit to be transformed into disciples. Discipleship was foundational to the New Testament call to say, "YES" to Jesus Christ and to follow Him. We believe there are seven essentials, or pillars, to say "YES" to this call —a must for clergy, consecrated religious, and t...
The Lord calls each of us to become disciples. This transformation only takes place through an intentional plan for every Catholic and Evangelical believer. It is not automatic! In this series of podcasts, Peter and Leslie discuss the biblical essentials necessary for each of us to answer the call to discipleship. Providentially, this podcast was released on September 30th, the feast of St. Jerome, w...
Peter and Leslie firmly believe that the call to become a disciple of Jesus, not a mere believer, is at the top of the Lord's agenda. In this series, they will discuss seven pillars that will inspire Catholic and Evangelical believers to answer the call to discipleship and thereby become true instruments in the Lord's work. The first pillar is the critical starting point. We are all called to encounter and reencounter the Lord pers...
In this podcast, Leslie and Peter embark on a series focused on the call for total commitment to Jesus Christ. In the Apostolic Church, those who dedicated themselves entirely to the Lord and His Kingdom were known as disciples. This call is not a one-time event; it is a daily commitment that requires each of us to say "Yes" to Christ Jesus. Catholics refer to this as the "Fiat," which signifies the "Yes" that Mary gave to the Ange...
Peter and Leslie continue to discuss the centrality of the Kingdom of God in the life of the Apostolic Church. The Lord desires to rebuild this way of thinking in the life of the Church today. We can assure ourselves of living our faith in the Kingdom when we allow the Lord to reveal any idolatry that may have entered our Christian lives.
Peter and Leslie discuss the Kingdom of God and why it is foundational for each of us to become disciples of Jesus Christ. This truth was the centerpiece proclaimed by Jesus and the Apostolic Church as seen in the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. Many Catholic and Evangelical believers are uncertain what the Kingdom of God is and what it means for individuals, families, and local parishes as we pray, "Thy kingdom come, Thy wil...
In this podcast, Peter and Leslie discuss how sharing our conversion story releases God's power. In the Acts of the Apostles, St. Paul shares his conversion story as a lead-in to the Gospel. The Doanes offer a practical approach to developing our story, helping everyone become better equipped to share Jesus Christ and His redemption. This podcast can become a "life-changer" as we seek to spread the Good News with others!
In this episode, Peter and Leslie discuss the importance of sharing the Gospel with others. The question becomes, how do I know when I should share it? Sacred Scripture teaches an incredible truth: the Lord opens doors! The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that we are to be "on the lookout" for times to share. This podcast will help us all become more aware of when, where, and with whom Jesus is leading us to proclaim His N...
In this podcast, Peter and Leslie discuss how Jesus gave us the first step in building individuals, families, and local parishes. He called each of us to repent and believe the Gospel. What exactly is the Gospel? Why is it pivotal for each of us to proclaim it to our world? Catholics, in particular, must revisit the Gospel's content, say yes to its invitation, and then invite others to do the same. The Gospel is powerful and can ch...
Peter and Leslie address the urgent crisis in the Western Church and offer actionable solutions. They emphasize the importance of taking a crucial first step. In Mark 1:13-15, after overcoming temptation in the wilderness, Jesus reveals a transformative pathway into the Kingdom of God—a message that resonates throughout the New Testament. This approach remains immensely relevant in the twenty-first century. It is vital ...
