📜✨ NEW SONG: “PAUL DIDN’T TEACH THAT” A lot of modern Christianity is built on things Paul never actually said. He preached grace. He preached faith. He also preached obedience, endurance, warning, judgment, repentance, and finishing the race. Paul warned that he himself could be disqualified. He told Christians not to receive grace in vain. He spoke of branches that were truly grafted in — and truly cut off — and truly grafted back again. That’s not “faith plus works.” That’s not legalism. That’s just… Paul. 🎶 “Paul Didn’t Teach That” walks straight through Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, and Romans 11 — letting Paul explain Paul — with a final reminder from Peter himself: Some people twist Paul’s words and read themselves into destruction. This song isn’t about attacking anyone. It’s about reading the whole letter. If Paul is your favorite theologian, you might want to stop muting half of Paul. — 🎧 Listen now: Available on all major platforms. ☕ Support the project: https://ko-fi.com/petersbarque 📲 Follow Peter’s Barque X / IG / TikTok / Facebook: @petersbarque YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@peters-barque Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-7821522 #Catholic #CatholicMusic #BibleStudy #Theology #ApostolicFaith #Scripture #Paul #FaithAndWorks #PetersBarqueSubscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

🔥✝️ NEW SONG: “Viva Cristo Rey” — The Western Ballad of José Sánchez del Río Dedicated to my second-born child — my first-born son — who chose José Sánchez del Río as his patron saint. Some saints lived long lives. Some wrote books. Some founded orders. And some — like José Sánchez del Río — lived only fourteen years, yet carried a courage that could set a nation on fire. This song tells his story the way it deserves to be told: as a Western-style martyr’s ballad, a tale of a boy who refused to betray Christ, who walked through dust and blood with unshakable resolve, and whose final words became a battle cry echoing through generations: “¡Viva Cristo Rey!” During the Cristero War, when the Mexican government outlawed the Church and tried to silence the faith, José stepped forward and said: “I am His, whatever comes my way.” He gave up his horse so another could escape. He endured imprisonment in a desecrated church. He suffered torture that would break most grown men. He encouraged others to stay faithful even while he was being led to death. At the cemetery gate, they told him to deny Christ… but instead, he lifted his eyes toward Heaven and shouted: “¡Viva Cristo Rey!” This track is dedicated to my son, who chose this heroic young martyr as his patron saint. May he grow in the same courage, conviction, and love for Christ the King. 🎵 “Viva Cristo Rey” — a Western ballad for those learning what real courage looks like. 🎧 LISTEN HERE: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/07uvm7SPGUVwYdxELtbXv8 Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/peters-barque/1857703433 Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/search?query=Peter%27s%20Barque 🔗 FOLLOW @petersbarque: Instagram • X • TikTok • Facebook https://petersbarque.online ☕ Support the mission: https://ko-fi.com/petersbarque 🏷️ HASHTAGS: #PetersBarque #VivaCristoRey #JoseSanchezDelRio #CristeroWar #CatholicMusic #CatholicArt #SaintStories #YoungSaints #CatholicFaith #ChristianMusic #CatholicReels #CatholicTok #PatronSaints #HeroesOfTheFaith #DesertSaintsAndDustyRoads #GunslingerSaints #NewMusic #WesternBalladSubscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

📜✨ NEW SONG: “Call Your Mother” — The Track That Finally Explains Why Revelation 12 Isn’t About a Committee On January 1 — the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God in the United States — we’re dropping a song that cuts straight through the confusion around the most misunderstood woman in Scripture. Because every year, someone insists: “Revelation 12 isn’t Mary — it’s Israel!” “Or it’s the Church!” “Or it’s symbolism!” But the vision gives us four figures: the Woman, the Child, the Angel, and the Dragon. The Child is Christ. The Dragon is Satan. The Angel is Michael. Three singular beings. And somehow the Woman — the one giving birth to the Messiah — is supposed to be… a crowd? That makes no sense. And it gets better: Psalm 45 already showed us the Queen standing at the King’s right hand, arrayed in gold. A strange psalm if it’s just about an earthly monarch’s wife… but perfectly normal if it’s about the Mother of the Messiah. Revelation 12 is not a cosmic group photo. It’s a family portrait. Christ the Son. Satan the enemy. Michael the defender. Mary the Mother. And then comes the line most people never notice: the Dragon goes off to wage war on her offspring — those who keep God’s commandments and hold the testimony of Jesus. If that’s you… she is your Mother. 🎶 “Call Your Mother” — a track for converts, cradle Catholics, Scripture nerds, theologians, and anyone who has ever wondered why Jesus’ final gift from the Cross was not a metaphor… but a Mom. 🔖 HASHTAGS #CallYourMother #PetersBarque #CatholicMusic #Catholic #BibleStudy #Revelation12 #MaryMotherOfGod #Solemnity #Theology #CatholicTruth #ApostolicFaith #CatholicTikTok #CatholicInstagram #CatholicTwitter 🔗 FOLLOW PETER’S BARQUE Website: https://petersbarque.online X: https://x.com/petersbarque Instagram: https://instagram.com/petersbarque TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@petersbarque Facebook: https://facebook.com/petersbarque 🎧 LISTEN TO THE MUSIC Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/peters-barque/1857703433 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/07uvm7SPGUVwYdxELtbXv8 ☕ SUPPORT THE PROJECT https://ko-fi.com/petersbarquSubscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

🔥🕊️ NEW SONG: “I Was Born For This” — The Western Ballad of St. Joan of Arc Dedicated to my oldest daughter, whose confirmation patron is the Maid of Orléans. There are saints whose stories you remember… and saints whose stories you feel. Joan of Arc is the latter — a young woman who rode straight into the fire because she knew exactly Who called her, and why. Most people know the tagline. Fewer know the history, the battles, the courage, the betrayal, the trial, and the faith that carried her all the way to the stake. This song tells that whole arc — her visions at thirteen, her ride to Chinon, the siege she broke at Orléans, the coronation at Reims, her capture, her sham trial, and her final cry that still shakes the centuries: “I am not afraid, for God is with me. I was born for this.” It’s a Western ballad… but it’s also a catechesis in courage — and a gift to my daughter, who chose Joan as her patron saint. May she always hear that same call toward holy boldness. 🎶 “I Was Born For This” — a song for anyone learning to trust God’s voice, for converts, cradle Catholics, history lovers, and every young woman who has ever felt the tug toward something greater. 🎧 LISTEN HERE: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/07uvm7SPGUVwYdxELtbXv8 Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/peters-barque/1857703433 Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/search?query=Peter%27s%20Barque 🔗 FOLLOW PETER’S BARQUE: IG • X • TikTok • Facebook — @petersbarque https://petersbarque.online ☕ Support the project: https://ko-fi.com/petersbarque 🏷️ HASHTAGS: #PetersBarque #IWasBornForThis #StJoanOfArc #CatholicMusic #CatholicArt #WesternBallad #CatholicCreators #SaintStories #JoanOfArc #CatholicFaith #CatholicTok #CatholicReels #ChristianMusic #HistoryAndFaith #BalladsOfTheSaints #GunslingerSaints #DesertSaintsAndDustyRoadsSubscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise

🍞🚪🌿 “Understanding Metaphors (Apparently Not That Easy)” A snarky, Scripture-soaked reality check for the “But Jesus said He’s a vine! And a door!” crowd. Some objections to the Eucharist collapse the moment you ask, “Did you… actually read the context?” Because every time Jesus uses a metaphor — a real one — He immediately explains it. 🌿 “I am the vine” → You are the branches 🚪 “I am the door” → If anyone enters through Me 🐑 “I am the shepherd” → I lay down My life But when He says, “Eat My Flesh” and “Drink My Blood,” He doesn’t wink, soften, decode, or step in with a parable rescue. He doubles down until half the crowd leaves… and then turns to the Twelve like: “You leaving too?” That’s not how metaphors work. That’s how literal teaching works. 🍞✝️🍷 And credit where credit is due: 🙌 Huge shout-out to Ferris at How To Be Christian His breakdown of the I Am Statements is one of the clearest, funniest, and most airtight explanations of why metaphor logic cannot erase what Jesus is doing in John 6. Watch the exact video that helped inspire this track: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODPckTuy07U If you haven’t watched it, seriously — go. It’s brilliant. “Understanding Metaphors (Apparently Not That Easy)” is for Scripture nerds, converts, catechists, and anyone tired of watching the Eucharist get flattened into a symbol just because Jesus once compared Himself to a plant or a piece of architecture. 🎧 Listen Here Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/peters-barque/1857703433 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/07uvm7SPGUVwYdxELtbXv8 🔗 Follow Peter’s Barque YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@peters-barque Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-7821522 X: https://x.com/petersbarque Instagram: https://instagram.com/petersbarque TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@petersbarque Facebook: https://facebook.com/petersbarque ☕ Support the Project Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/petersbarqueSubscribe to Ask Catholics on Soundwise
