🥓 NEW SONG — APRIL 1st 🥓
“ODE TO BACON (The Official Meat of the New & Everlasting Covenant)”

Yes, this is an April Fool’s drop.
No, it’s not a joke.
Well… it is.
But it’s also catechesis.

Bacon is in nearly every scene of this video for a reason.

The Mosaic food laws weren’t random.
They weren’t moral absolutes.
They were signs — teaching tools — meant to set Israel apart and prepare the way.

And when the thing those signs pointed to finally arrived?

The sign stepped back.
The substance came.

That’s why Christians eat bacon.
Not because we “ignore Leviticus.”
But because the Law didn’t fall — it ripened.

From Abraham serving milk and meat to God Himself,
to Peter’s vision,
to a table widened to all nations —

Same God.
Same promise.
Bigger table.

So yes…
🥓 Bacon makes a cameo in almost every shot.
Because sometimes the best theology smells amazing.

🎶 “You don’t keep reading the menu when the food hits the table.”

Drop date: April 1
Bring your sense of humor.
Stay for the covenant theology.

📜✨ **"Hosanna: They Knew What This Meant" — Palm Sunday Was a Public Claim to Divinity**

Palm Sunday wasn’t a parade.

It was a declaration.

Most people see a humble moment—Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, crowds waving branches, shouting “Hosanna.”

But the people there?
The ones who knew their Scriptures?

They knew exactly what this meant.

Zechariah didn’t just say a king would come.
He said the King would come *like this*—humble, riding a donkey… and yet somehow, impossibly, this King is also the Lord who reigns over all the earth.

Psalm 118 doesn’t just say “Hosanna.”
It tells you who that cry is for.

“Save us, Lord.”

That word—Hosanna—is a prayer directed to God Himself.

And yet… they shouted it at Jesus.

Not by accident. Not as a vague hope.
But as a recognition.

The same crowd lays down palm branches—literally acting out the Psalm:
“Bind the festal procession with branches…”

This isn’t random.

This is Scripture coming alive in real time.

And then it gets sharper.

The children cry out His praise—and when the leaders object, Jesus doesn’t correct them.
He points to Psalm 8… a Psalm about praise offered to the Lord.

In other words:

He accepts it.

Because He knows exactly what they’re saying.

Palm Sunday isn’t subtle.

It’s not just “Jesus is the Messiah.”

It’s:
The King has come.
The Lord has come.
God has come… in the flesh.

And they knew it.

🎶 **"Hosanna: They Knew What This Meant"** — a track for Scripture nerds, converts, lifelong Catholics, and anyone who’s ever been told Palm Sunday is just a nice little parade.

📜✨ NEW SONG: “You Want The Final Say” — Authority Was Never Meant to Be Optional

A lot of objections to the Catholic Church start with surface-level complaints.

Statues.
Candles.
Mary.
Tradition.

But if we’re honest, those usually aren’t the real issue.

The real issue is authority.

The Catholic Church claims something modern Christianity often tries to avoid: the authority Christ gave the apostles didn’t disappear in the first century. It didn’t reset every generation. And it doesn’t belong to whoever happens to be holding a Bible at the moment.

Scripture itself points this direction. Hebrews 13:17 tells believers to “obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls.”

That verse only makes sense if Christian leadership actually has real authority.

Catholics live inside that reality.

But in much of modern Christianity, if you disagree with your pastor… you can simply leave. Find another church. Start a new one. Gather a few friends and build a congregation that teaches what you already think the Bible means.

That system would have sounded completely foreign to the early Christians.

Because Christianity wasn’t built around everyone becoming their own final authority.

It was built around a Church that received the faith from the apostles and handed it on.

And that’s where the tension really shows up.

The Catholic Church refuses to pretend Christianity started in the 1500s… or the 1800s… or last Tuesday.

It keeps pointing backward to the early Church, the bishops, the councils, the Church Fathers—because Christianity is something we inherit, not something we reinvent.

🎶 “You Want The Final Say” is a slightly snarky reminder that the biggest objection many people have to the Catholic Church isn’t statues or saints or liturgy.

It’s that the Church doesn’t let any of us—me included—be the final authority.

And that might be exactly why Christ built it that way.
