The CATHOLIC Sacrament Thats All Over the BIBLE (w/ Dr. Michael Barber) The Cordial Catholic 2025-10-01 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my friend Dr. Michael Barber, Professor of Sacred Scripture and Theology at the Augustine Institute, to unpack the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick from the Old Testament, the New Testament, and throughout Church History. This week is an awesome Bible study with a lens towards how we can understand this important sacrament – and all the sacraments – with an eye towards evangelization. How do we share the deep biblical and historical roots of the Sacrament of the Sick? What's is the point and purpose of this anointing? And why is this important, biblical practice, also deeply and uniquely Catholic? For more from Dr. Barber check out his website:augustineinstitute.org/faculty-and-staff/michael-barber-ph-dYou can find his book The Bible and Anointing of the Sick from Baker Academic:bakerpublishinggroup.com/products/9781540960993_the-bible-and-the-anointing-of-the-sickAnd make sure to follow Dr. Barber on his X account:https://x.com/MichaelPBarberSend your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

An Anglican Priest and His Calvinist Brothers Become Catholic (w/ Adom and Jason Postma) The Cordial Catholic 2025-09-24 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my friend Adom Postma and his brother Jason, a former Anglican priest, to talk about the incredible conversion – a journey made by three brothers into Catholicism. Raised in the Reformed tradition, these brothers loved their faith deeply and regularly spared with one another, as iron sharpens iron, on all kinds of topics in Evangelical Christianity. But when one brother began to look into the Early Church Fathers in order to win a debate with a Jehovah's Witness, things begin to take an interesting turn. Listen and learn how slowly their conversation turned towards Catholicism. How Jason, a devout Anglican priest with a church and a ministry and a family to take care of, wrestled with the same questions he watched his brothers wrestle with – and come to startlingly similar conclusions. And how, ultimately, the only thing that made sense to do for all of the brothers was to become Catholic!This is a fantastic story that you won't want to miss.

Protestants Get Augustine WRONG! #apologetics #catholic #churchfathers #christian The Cordial Catholic 2025-09-10 | ...
What Protestants Get WRONG About Augustine (w/ Dr. Shane Owens) The Cordial Catholic 2025-09-10 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by the Dr. Shane Owens from the Franciscan University of Steubenville to talk about St. Augustine. Often claimed by non-Catholic Christians to support a low view of the papacy, the symbolic nature of Communion, and the doctrine of Sola Scriptura I ask Dr. Owens exactly what *did* St. Augustine believe about these ideas and how we can successfully win debates and discussions when a Protestant tries to claim that Augustine supports these views.With clarity and charity Dr. Owens demonstrates why arguments by popular Protestant scholars like Dr. James White and Dr. Gavin Ortlund – that Augustine supports popular Protestant doctrines – are completely wrong.

An Evangelical Worship Leader Discovers Worship in the Early Church was CATHOLIC! The Cordial Catholic 2025-08-27 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Taylor from GemmaintheRough (on Instagram and TikTok) to talk about her journey as a charismatic, non-denominational Christian leading worship at her church to a full-blown conversion to Catholicism. Taylor's story is amazing as she asks incredible questions about how and why her non-denominational church worshipped the way they did – and how the Early Church worshipped differently!How could they have weekly "altar calls" without an altar? How could they claim to "worship" God without offering any kind of sacrifice in the biblical pattern? This and so much more makes up Taylor's awesome conversion story.

She Encountered CHRIST in a Catholic Church! (w/ Carla Lynch) The Cordial Catholic 2025-08-20 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my friend Carla Lynch to unpack her outrageous journey from Charismatic, Evangelical Christianity into full communion with the Catholic Church. Carla's journey is one of a kind, beginning when her Evangelical Youth Group visited a well-known Catholic Church – the beauty, the stillness, and the devout worship of the Catholics she saw there coming up-ended her understanding of Catholicism and planted a seed that would slowly germinate and grow until she couldn't avoid it's presence any longer. From there, her story only gets even more wild. Carla's journey is amazing and I truly hope you enjoy it.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

A Calvinist Tries to Convert Catholics – Becomes CATHOLIC Instead! (w/ Pierce Benefield) The Cordial Catholic 2025-07-30 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Piece Benefield. A fierce defender of Calvinism, Pierce converted to the Catholic faith after a long and fascinating journey – including going head-to-head with Catholics in a group chat, fulling intending to convert them to Calvinism, but being challenged by their through and thoroughly biblical responses to many of his objections to Catholicism!This week, we talk about Pierce's evangelical upbringing, his shift to the serious and intellectual strand of Calvinism, and what eventually drew him into full communion with the Catholic Church – as a former anti-Catholic evangelist! Plus, we tackle objections like Mary, understanding the Early Church Fathers, and the amazing story of other converts Pierce has met along the way!For more from Pierce check out two of his other appearances on YouTube:youtu.be/gjdab008rCcyoutu.be/GhUP3_KXI5ISend your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

The Rock Star Pastor Who Returned to the Catholic Church (w/ Mark Saunders) The Cordial Catholic 2025-07-23 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Mark Saunders@Marksaunderscatholicevangelist who has an incredible "reversion" story to tell. Raised in a devout Catholic household Mark explains why he initially left the Catholic Church – despite working as an altar server and even discerning the priesthood at one point! – and how his success as a musician led to a life of sin, depravity, and eventually found him seeking out Jesus once again – and finding him in an anti-Catholic, Evangelical church. From there, Mark's story gets even more fascinating as he begins to work as a pastor, serving his Church and even publicly discrediting his Catholic upbringing until, much to his surprise, he began to be drawn back, once again, to the Church of his childhood. Mark's story is incredible and Mark is a wonderful guest: open, honest, and absolutely on fire for Christ and His Church.To connect with Mark you can check out his YouTube channel: @Marksaunderscatholicevangelist On TikTok: tiktok.com/@marksaunderscatholicOr contact him via e-mail at: markjpsaunders@yahoo.co.uk.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

Early Church Expert Debunks Protestant Claims! (w/ Dr. DP Curtin) The Cordial Catholic 2025-07-09 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by early Church historian, scholar, and translator Dr. DP Curtin, to talk about what the documents left behind by the very earliest Christians tell us about the faith. Dr. Curtin, translator of hundreds and hundreds of documents from the Early Church, sits down to explain just how Catholic-sounding the first Christians were. What they believed about Communion – the Eucharist – baptism, the authority structure of the Church, and much more. And how the idea of trying to pick and chooses pieces of Early Christianity – as a Protestant – can be an impossible exercise.

Dr. York's story – a journey from small-town baptist music ministry to studying Gregorian Chant at the Catholic University of America – is an incredible tale! Dr. York explains how following her passion and her gifts from God – studying and performing Church music – led her deeper and deeper towards the source of some of the greatest music in Christian history, into the origins of Christian music, and into the arms of the Catholic Church. It's an amazing story unlike anything we'd had on the show before! I hope you enjoy it.

What Catholics Believe About Mary Can Be Found in the BIBLE (w/ Deacon Frank) The Cordial Catholic 2025-06-25 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Deacon Frank – a deacon, author, columnist, and speaker – to unpack the biblical roots, proof, and evidence for the Perpetual Virginity of Mary. Using the Bible as the jumping off point, Deacon Frank is speaking directly to our non-Catholic Christian audience as he explains what makes Catholics believe – in tandem with the Early Christians – that Mary was not only a virgin before and after the birth of Jesus but was vowed, from the beginning, to remain one. This is a great explainer for one of those crucial Marian dogmas that trip up so many non-Catholic Christians. With charity, clarity, and light, Deacon Frank tackles this tough topic. You'll love it.

And, the incredible evangelical power that the stigmata – and stigmatists – have today! We dig into the lives of great saints like Padre Pio, St. Francis of Assisi, and more and discuss not only the profound properties of their miracles and miraculous lives but their devotion to the Eucharist, to the Church, and what makes them an unshakable witness to the Catholic faith – in our dialogue with our non-Catholic Christian brothers and sisters.

Did the Church REALLY Fall Into Apostasy? (w/ Jannah Russell) The Cordial Catholic 2025-06-11 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Jannah Russell to share her remarkable Catholic conversion story. Raised in the Jehovah's Witness tradition, Jannah explains how her and her husband became disillusioned with the group, eventually leaving, and rediscovering faith on their own. Their journey, ever seeking the truth of Christ and His Church, led them into Evangelical Christianity where experiences around Communion, baptism, and the interpretation of Scripture set off some of the same alarm bells they'd heard as Jehovah's Witnesses – and that compelled them to begin their journey in the first place!Those alarm bells drove them deeper into Scripture, into Church history and the Church Fathers, and from there, the slow realization that maybe, despite their deepest reservations, they needed to explore Catholicism. This is a truly remarkable story and not only because Jannah managed to tell it while single-handedly taking care of 4 kids (because her husband had to work late!) but because it's a kind of microcosm of some of the same issues that comes up in Protestant Christianity writ large – playing out for two Christ-seeking believers leaving the grasp of a pretty intense Christian sect.

From Calvinist to Catholic: Making the Case for Converting to Catholicism (w/ Dr. Peter Kreeft) The Cordial Catholic 2025-06-04 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by the incredible Dr. Peter Kreeft, philosopher, theologian, and one of the most important modern converts to the Catholic faith to unpack his own conversion journey and discuss why it makes good logical, philosophical, biblical, and historical sense to become Catholic. We talk about his journey from Calvinism to Catholicism, the centrality and logical sense of the Eucharist, the Reformation, and much, much more. Including, of course, his objections to Catholicism. This is one of those "Bucket List" conversations for me as someone who encountered Dr. Kreeft early on in my conversion journey and read just about everything he ever wrote. What an amazing conversation.

Two Protestants Ask: Why Do We Need a Pope?! (w/ Brandon Eaves and Chris Kellam) The Cordial Catholic 2025-05-28 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my two friends and former Evangelical seminarians (and, in Chris' case, a pastor) to discuss why we need a Pope. What's the purpose of a Pope? What role does he serve? Does Christianity need a Pope? And what's the biblical and historical precedent for the papacy. These, and many more questions, and examined in detail as we talk about the papacy and even the recent election of Pope Leo XIV. We get into the importance of the papacy for its unifying ability, the magisterium, the idea of apostolic succession, and the reality of the whole world coming together for the election of a new Pope – something that simply couldn't be accomplished in a Protestant system. It's an incredible conversation!

Catholic Wisdom for a World in Crisis (w/ Fr. Donald Haggerty) The Cordial Catholic 2025-05-21 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Father Donald Haggerty, priest at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York and the author of a number of fine books including The Hour of Testing: Spiritual Depth and Insight in a Time of Ecclesial Uncertainty. We're talking about taking the temperature of society and responding to crises both in the world and within our very own Catholic Church. It's a great episode. We talk about the need for abandonment to God, the importance of prayer, and how to evangelize, understand, and live within a world (and a Church!) that is sometimes limping along from crisis to crisis. Not a depressing, downtrodden take, but an uplifting and hopeful perspective – this week in my wonderful conversation with Father Haggerty.

What is it meant to do and how are we meant to do it? Why do we worship liturgically? And how can we do it better? Plus, we talk about the future of the liturgy (and how the liturgy used to be) and Chris brings all kinds of hope and good thoughts with him on this visit by unpacking what he's seeing, on the ground, in the liturgical formation classes he teaches.

The Protestant Pastor Who Fell in Love with the Catholic Church (w/ Brian Jacobson) The Cordial Catholic 2025-05-07 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my friend Brian Jacobson, a former Protestant pastor and a convert to the Catholic faith, to unpack his incredible story and the reasons why he absolutely fell in love with the Catholic faith. From the initial realization – at an ecumenical Bible study – that him and his fellow Protestants couldn't agree on the "essentials" of the faith, Brian's journey into looking for the source and authority of Scriptural interpretation takes a number of wild twists and turns before arriving in the arms of the ancient Catholic faith. It's an amazing story and Brian is not only a passionate storyteller but a good one, at that! You can tell he spent years preaching.

Former Anglican Priest: What the Catholic Church is NOT... (w/ Andrew Petiprin) The Cordial Catholic 2025-04-30 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my friend author, podcaster, and former Episcopalian priest Andrew Petiprin to talk unpack one of the biggest misconceptions about the Catholic Church: that Catholicism is simply another Christian denomination. With aplomb, charity, and with Scripture and the history books in hand, Andrew explains exactly what's wrong with thinking of Catholicism as just another denomination, why that matters, and why it's abundantly clear from history and Scripture that the Catholic Church is unique in a sea of Christian choices.Plus, we unpack the danger of thinking of the Church as an institution, the notion of the "rules" of Catholicism, and so much more.

Does the Catholic Church Believe in Literal, Biblical Creation? (w/ Hugh Owen) The Cordial Catholic 2025-04-23 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Hugh Owen, the founder and director of the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation to talk about the Catholic perspective on the literal story of creation. Can Catholics believe in a literal reading of Genesis? Has the Catholic Church officially adopted the theory of evolution? What does the science actually say? And what is lost is the typical discussion between science, evolution, and creation? Hugh joins me to unpack these questions and more with some pretty fascinating perspectives to questions and concerns that – I know – are on the minds of many Protestant Christians who are considering Catholicism – and many Catholics looking to reconcile the literal reading of the Bible with Science and the Catholic faith.

Why the CATHOLIC CHURCH Holds to Scripture AND Tradition (w/ Matthew Becklo) The Cordial Catholic 2025-04-16 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my friend Matthew Becklo, writer, editor, and Publishing Director for Bishop Barron's Word on Fire Catholic Ministries (@word-on-fire) to talk about the Catholic "both/and" paradigm that uniquely defines the Church that Christ founded. Neither "earthbound" or too "heavenly-minded," Becklo shows how, time and again, the Catholic Church walks the line between being too worldly and being too disengaged with the world. In how the Church worships, the role of the sacraments, Christology, the nature of the Church, and the Protestant Reformation. Becklo demonstrates how throughout history the Catholic Church has paved the way which balances both the role of Scripture and the place of tradition. This is such a deep and fascinating conversation. I hope you love it!

The Incredible CONVERSION of an Anti-Catholic Crusader (w/ Sophia Nikolai) The Cordial Catholic 2025-04-02 | In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Sophia Nikolai from@thecatholicchronicles a self-described anti-Catholic who is here to share her absolutely incredible conversion story with us. With an anti-Catholic, Evangelical background, Sophia considered herself firmly grounded in her Christian faith until an encounter with a quotation from the Early Church Fathers and some pretty miraculous interventions began her on a journey completely and utterly out of her comfort zone. Listen to Sophia's amazing journey which includes burning rosaries, ripping up prayer books, and trying to convince her Catholic husband (and his family) that they were all doomed – before, ultimately, becoming Catholic herself!

I'm so thrilled to bring together my friends Joe Heschmeyer, a formidable apologist with @CA-Live, and Austin Suggs, the thoughtful non-Catholic Christian host of the @GospelSimplicity YouTube channel to weigh the evidence, dig deeply, and tackle Austin's objections to Catholicism and what kind of evidence it would take for someone as thoughtful as Austin to become Catholic.After many years talking to the best and brightest in the Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant churches, why does Austin remain a Protestant?
