Fullfilled: Uncovering the Biblical Foundations of Catholicism • Sonja Corbitt (video study series)
Monday Mornings at 9:15 am • September 17 - October 29, 2018 • in the St. Lawrence Room
7 weeks • Study Guide $18
Fulfilled: Uncovering the Biblical Foundations of Catholicism is an apologetic approach to sharing the Catholic Faith using the Old Testament Tabernacle as a blueprint for God’s plan. While it is designed as a faith-sharing Scripture study, you will also gain an understanding of some of the most questioned Catholic teachings. Fulfilled will reignite your love of Scripture and help you share and defend the Catholic Faith with the Word of God.
Part One focuses on the elements found in the outer sanctuary of the Tabernacle and how they connect to the liturgical calendar, the priesthood, purgatory, baptism, and more. Part Two focuses on the elements found in the inner sanctuary of the Tabernacle and how they connect to the Magisterium, the Eucharist, incense, Mary, and more.

A veteran Scripture teacher, Sonja founded a non-profit as an evangelical when her own deep need for more of God began to connect with her non-Catholic brothers and sisters, and she started receiving invitations to speak around the country. Serving both itinerantly and locally, and on radio and TV, she was privileged for many years to witness God speaking and moving in people’s lives through her teaching. Later, her hunger for righteousness having led her to the Church as both the “pillar and foundation of truth” and the desire of her heart, Sonja was thrilled to discover how hungry Catholics were for the Word of God! She dove into writing multi-media Bible study resources for Catholics like those she worked on prior to her full communion with the Church.
Because Sonja has a fiercely loyal, grateful love for the Church, it is her heart’s cry to participate in the New Evangelism by drawing people more deeply into the church through the Scriptures. She writes and produces Bible study materials, and travels anywhere and everywhere to spread her simple message: God loves you to death; learn to let Him.
Sonja teaches regularly and lives in Tennessee. Her appearances are championed by her husband, a true Joseph, their two collaborative children, and the flexibility of their family’s homeschooling schedule. Besides her devotion to the Eucharist and the Sacred Writings and their Author, Sonja is in formation with the Third Order Carmelites. She delights in a pot of apricot tea, her rocking chair and quilt on the porch of her farmhouse, the English countryside, Austen, Dickens and Michael Crighton novels, and long hikes along the Appalachian Trail.

Book Study: Architects of the Culture of Death • Benjamin Wiker & Donald DeMarco •
hosted by Barker Stein Thursday Mornings at 9:15 am • September 27 - November 15, 2018 in the Dawn Room • 8 weeks • Used Book $10 The authors expose the Culture of Death as an intentional and malevolent ideology promoted by influential thinkers who specifically attack Christian morality’s core belief in the sanctity of human life and the existence of man’s immortal soul. In scholarly, yet reader-friendly prose, DeMarco and Wiker examine the roots of the Culture of Death by introducing 23 of its architects. The personalism of St. John Paul II is an illuminating thread that runs through Architects, serving as a hopeful antidote.
