    Made For Communion - Made In The Image of Love

    28/1/2026 | 5 mins.
    MADE FOR COMMUNION

    The Trinity isn’t a doctrine Christians invented centuries later.
    It’s already there in Genesis.

    “In the beginning—God.”
    The Spirit hovering over the waters.
    God speaking light into existence.

    From the very first lines of Scripture, God reveals Himself not as solitary, but as communion.

    And when humanity is made in His image, that image isn’t finished at the individual level:
    “Male and female He created them.”
    “The two become one flesh.”
    Life proceeds as gift.

    God didn’t create because He needed us.
    He created because God is Love—and love gives.

    🎶 Made for Communion
    A song about the Trinity, creation, and why love has a shape.

    Let's Learn: The Islamic Dilemma

    26/1/2026 | 5 mins.
    📘🎶 NEW SONG DROP

    “Let’s Learn the Islamic Dilemma” – Peter’s Barque

    This song exists for one reason: clarity.

    The Islamic Dilemma is one of the rare arguments in religion that doesn’t require you to believe the Bible, accept Christianity, or even believe in God at all. It works entirely on Islam’s own claims about revelation, Scripture, and logic.

    In short:
    Islam affirms the earlier Scriptures came from God.
    Islam affirms that God protects His Word.
    Islam also claims the Gospel is corrupted.
    All three cannot be true at the same time.
    But it actually goes further than that.
    The Qur’an tells Muhammad himself that if he doubts the revelation he is receiving, he is to verify it by consulting the prior Scriptures (Surah 10:94). That instruction only makes sense if those Scriptures are still intact, still authoritative, and function as the standard of verification.

    Which means, by the Qur’an’s own logic, the earlier Scriptures sit over the Qur’an — not under it.

    And once you actually compare them, they don’t align.
    So the Qur’an fails the very test it tells Muhammad to apply.

    This isn’t about sincerity. I know many Muslims who genuinely seek to worship the one true God of Abraham, and I don’t doubt that sincerity for a moment. But sincerity doesn’t rescue a revelation that collapses under its own rules.

    This song is the teaching version — a step-by-step, verse-by-verse walk through the dilemma, naming specific Qur’anic passages and letting listeners follow the logic themselves. No strawmen. No Bible-thumping. Just Islam measured by Islam.

    🎶 “Let’s Learn the Islamic Dilemma”
    —for people who care about truth, logic, and intellectual honesty.

    A quick note, as always:

    I’m not a musician — I’m a catechist trying to teach the faith with the tools at my disposal. I’ve taught Christianity, apologetics, and OCIA/RCIA for 20+ years. The words and ideas are mine; the music is created digitally, and the artwork is AI-generated.

    If you listen charitably, think carefully, and check the sources for yourself — then this song has done its job.

    🗝️ THE KEY STILL TURNS — Peter's Barque

    23/1/2026 | 4 mins.
    🗝️ THE KEY STILL TURNS — New Release

    From the beginning, Peter had primacy.
    And the Church knew it.

    Before emperors.
    Before medieval debates.
    Before East and West were torn apart.

    Scripture shows it.
    The ante-Nicene Fathers name it.
    The councils rely on it.

    Ignatius calls Rome the Church that presides.
    Irenaeus says all churches must agree with her.
    Chalcedon stands and declares:
    “Peter has spoken — through Leo’s voice.”

    This isn’t about domination.
    It’s about unity preserved.

    The East didn’t disappear.
    It didn’t get erased.
    Its rites, theology, and spiritual inheritance endured —
    in communion with Rome.

    Unity never meant uniformity.
    It never did.

    It meant communion.

    🎵 THE KEY STILL TURNS
    A catechetical song on Petrine primacy, councils, and the unity Christ prayed for.

    One Holy Family, Undivided - The Communion Of The Saints

    22/1/2026 | 5 mins.
    ONE HOLY FAMILY, UNDIVIDED

    🎶 BONUS THURSDAY DROP 🎶

    Same song.
    New visuals.

    This is a re-release of One Holy Family, Undivided—not because the song changed, but because the visuals did. Some people didn’t care for the original art, and over time I’ve found a visual style that fits the theology and tone of these songs much better. This is the artistic direction more of my releases will follow moving forward.

    But the heart of the song hasn’t changed.

    This track is about prayer to the saints, and why it’s not only Catholic, but biblical and ancient.

    The phrase “the Communion of Saints” is professed in the Apostles’ Creed, one of the oldest summaries of Christian belief—written long before later debates about sola scriptura even existed. Those early creeds weren’t trying to cite proof texts; they were confessing what the Church already believed and lived.

    Scripture presents the Church as one living Body in Christ, united across heaven and earth. Death does not sever that Body. The saints are alive in Christ, aware, interceding, and united to us. Revelation shows their prayers rising before God. Hebrews speaks of a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us. Paul repeatedly asks other Christians to pray for him—because God wants His family to participate in His work.

    Prayer to the saints doesn’t replace Christ as mediator.
    It depends entirely on Him.

    It’s family prayer—within one Body, under one Head.

    Since this is an off-cadence day, consider it a Thursday bonus: same song, clearer visuals, and a reminder of what Christians have believed since the beginning.

    Non-Vain Repetition

    21/1/2026 | 3 mins.
    📜✨ NEW SONG: “NON-VAIN REPETITION”

    Jesus warned against vain repetition — not prayer that repeats.

    That distinction matters… a lot.

    Some people hear Christ’s words in Matthew 6 and assume God dislikes repeated prayers, written prayers, or Christians praying together in unison. But Scripture itself flatly contradicts that reading.

    The Psalms are repetitive by design. Psalm 136 repeats the same line over and over — “His mercy endures forever” — sometimes mid-sentence. Israel prayed it communally. Loudly. Publicly. On purpose.

    Even Jesus repeats His own prayer in Gethsemane.

    The issue was never repetition.
    The issue was emptiness.

    I can tell my wife “I love you” a thousand times and mean it every single time.
    And I can also say the exact same words while halfway out the door, distracted, hollow, and rushed.

    Same words.
    Very different heart.

    🎶 “Non-Vain Repetition” is a song about what Christ actually condemned — and what He clearly did not. It’s about the Rosary as meditation on the life of Christ, about communal prayer, written prayer, and why love naturally repeats itself without becoming meaningless.
