In this powerful episode of the That They May Be One podcast, we sit down with Fr. Mathias Thelen, founder of Encounter Ministries, to hear his remarkable testimony of encountering Christ and being baptized in the Holy Spirit. Fr. Mathias shares how God called him to a ministry that today “exists to unleash the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in the world through teaching, equipping, and activating disciples to demonstrate the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Through that ministry, Fr. Mathias also answers the urgent call to proclaim and pursue unity in the Body of Christ.

Discover how spiritual charisms and baptism in the Holy Spirit connect to our call to Christian unity, why humility is essential for bridging divides, and what Fr. Mathias sees for the present and future of unity in the Church. This conversation will inspire you to seek deeper renewal and work toward the unity Christ prayed for.

In this episode, hosts Dr. David Cole and Adriana Gonzalez sit down with Dr. Ralph Martin, a renowned theologian, author, and featured voice in the upcoming docudrama, That They May Be One, to explore the Holy Spirit's work in fostering Christian unity.

Dr. Martin shares his personal journey with baptism in the Holy Spirit and how it radically changed his life and deepened his understanding of God's desire for unity in the Body of Christ. He also reflects on his experience in Charismatic covenant communities and the prophetic word he delivered at the historic 1977 Kansas City conference that called the Church to renewal and unity.

Not only has Dr. Martin prophesied powerful words from the Lord in the past, he is also a prophetic voice today. Listen in to hear Dr. Martin’s spiritual sense of the current state of the Church and what her future holds.

In this inspiring conversation, we welcome Valerie Sagheddu! Valerie is a joy-filled evangelist, spiritual growth coach, and founder of The Divinely Designed Life. In this episode, we are privileged to explore the remarkable life of Blessed Maria Gabriella Sagheddu!

Listen in as Valerie shares how this “silent herald of unity” offered her life in prayer for the reconciliation of Christians. Valerie also points out that in his encyclical, Ut Unum Sint, Pope St. John Paul II highlights Blessed María Gabriella as an example for Christian unity. Valerie also reflects on her own calling to foster Christian unity and how aligning with God’s divine design ultimately brings peace, power, and passion.

In this episode, Adriana Gonzalez is joined by guests Dr. David Wells and Barbara Heil for a Spirit-led conversation on the glory of God. Together, they explore what it means to encounter God’s glory, how to posture our hearts with humility, and why the Lord may be inviting His people in this moment of history to cry out, “Show us Your glory.”

Drawing from Scripture and personal testimony, they reflect on how God transforms us in His presence and then sends us out in unity for mission in His Body.

We’re kicking off Season 2 with a very special guest: Bishop Joseph Bambera, Bishop of Scranton, PA. In this epsiode, Bishop Bambera shares his personal journey of faith, from his early experiences of evangelical encounters in college to his present role as a shepherd of renewal and unity within the Church.

We explore Bishop Bambera’s work in his diocese, including his support of the long-standing Catholic Charismatic Renewal Conference, and his broader service to the Church as Chairman of the U.S. Bishops’ Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs and Catholic Co-Chair of the International Catholic-Pentecostal Dialogue.

Together, we reflect on the Lord’s work in the Church today, the gift of renewal, and the hope of Christian unity.

We are excited to have David Wells as our special guest this week! David is the president of both the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada and the Pentecostal/Charismatic Churches of North America. He has spent decades serving the global Church through his leadership in Pentecostal circles. In this episode we discuss with David how his Pentecostal upbringing, marriage to a Catholic wife, and decades of ecumenical work has shaped his vision for the Body of Christ and how the Church can model healing and friendship across borders.

This episode is rich with wisdom, humility, and hope with an invitation to see the work of the Holy Spirit moving across every stream of the Church.

In this compelling second part of our conversation, we dive deep into the documentary "That They May Be One," exploring Saint Elena Guerra's prophetic legacy, the film's ecumenical message, and the Holy Spirit's role in Christian unity. Join us as we unpack the spiritual journey of bringing this powerful story to life and its implications for renewal across denominational lines.

In part one of our two-part series, we dive deep with Dr. Mary Healy, a renowned Catholic theologian, biblical scholar, and Charismatic Renewal leader who was recently appointed to the Vatican's Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. Dr. Healy shares her unique journey of bridging theological traditions, particularly through her groundbreaking work in the Catholic-Pentecostal Dialogue and her passionate commitment to integrating scriptural scholarship with spiritual experience.

Are you ready to learn more about the dynamic relationship between Scripture and the Holy Spirit? Listen in to be inspired by Dr. Healy's nuanced approach to faith, her commitment to bridging theological divides, and her profound understanding of how the Word and the Spirit work together.
