In this Trinity Forum Conversation, author Lanta Davis, along with special guest host and Trinity Forum Senior Fellow Jessica Hooten Wilson, delve into the power of imagination and its role in our spiritual formation. The discussion centers on Davis's book Becoming by Beholding, which explores Christian imagination through art, literature, and historical practices.These friends and scholars discuss the transformative potential of engaging with sacred art, the virtues, and traditional practices like Lectio Divina:"In Jesus's parables ... He's constantly showing us that there's more hidden behind the surface than we think. The mustard seed is not just a mustard seed. Yeast is not just yeast ... Jesus shows us heavenly meanings ... This is what the incarnation helps us understand, that the divine is not just up above. It's all around us. It's here and now. That when God became matter, all the material world changed because of it."We hope this conversation will resonate with you as you explore the good, the true, and the beautiful in your own corner of creation. This podcast is an edited version of our Online Conversation recorded in March 2025.

“We are all under the same mental calamity; we have all forgotten our names. We have all forgotten what we really are.” — G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy, 1908In his essay The New Name, George MacDonald reflects on the mystery of each man's unrepeatable uniqueness before God:“As the fir-tree lifts up itself with a far different need from the need of the palm-tree, so does each man stand before God, and lift up a different humanity to the common Father. And for each God has a different response. With every man he has a secret—the secret of the new name. In every man there is a loneliness, an inner chamber of peculiar life into which God only can enter.From this it follows that there is a chamber also (O God, humble and accept my speech) a chamber in God himself, into which none can enter but the one, the individual, the peculiar man—out of which chamber that man has to bring revelation and strength for his brethren. This is that for which he was made—to reveal the secret things of the Father.”Who are you? What is your true name?What dimension of the Father do you reveal in a way no one else can—or ever will?How is this mysterious, life-saving, and life-sustaining revelation being made known to you?How is it meant not only to grow in depth and breadth over the decades, but also to become a kind of revelatory light—guiding you ever deeper into a life of faith, hope, and love?It takes profound courage to become who we truly are.Join me and brave allies Chris Rice and Ryan Ruebsahm as we take a deeper cut into the mystery and manna of our true name before God.It's all been prologue. The best is yet to come.For the Kingdom,Morgan and Cherie Snyder

Tudo isso regado à boa teologia, pitadas de humor e, claro, muita inspiração chestertoniana. Bora entender como o serviço alegre muda a nossa vida e contagia o mundo?

Episode Overview:In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles dive into a lighthearted yet profound discussion about the phrase "killing two birds with one stone," the joys and challenges of high school reunions, and a deep exploration of friendship—both human and divine. The episode centers on John 15:14-15, where Jesus calls His disciples friends, not servants, offering a transformative perspective on what it means to live in communion with Christ. A powerful confession experience ties the conversation together, emphasizing the shift from doing things for God to doing them with Him.Key Discussion Points:Opening Banter (00:00:16 - 00:04:55): Adam and David humorously debate the origins and modern misuse of the phrase "killing two birds with one stone," referencing historical and biblical imagery like David and Goliath, and even a viral video of Nolan Ryan hitting a bird with a baseball.Life Updates (00:05:00 - 00:11:39): David shares his excitement for an upcoming family reunion in Wyoming, while Adam talks about his son Leo's second-place finish in mutton busting at a local rodeo and his anticipation for a 20-year high school reunion, sparking a funny reflection on aging and pride.Sponsorship Spotlight (00:12:00 - 00:13:15): The hosts highlight their long-time sponsor, Select International Tours, encouraging listeners to explore pilgrimage opportunities at selectinternationaltours.com and join their upcoming trip to Italy in October.What We're Drinking (00:13:29 - 00:15:47): Adam and David enjoy The Sassenach, a blended Scotch whiskey with a Gaelic name meaning "outsider" or "stranger." They praise its Highland-like flavor and art deco bottle, likening it to a Mad Men-style decanter.Literature and Reading (00:16:46 - 00:20:43): David discusses reading G.K. Chesterton's Man Alive, recommended by Monsignor Gallus, a Chesterton scholar, and touches on Plato's The Republic. The hosts reflect on Chesterton's whimsical style and the influence of classical works on Christian thought.Main Topic: Friendship with Christ (00:22:08 - 00:58:51):Biblical Foundation: Adam introduces John 15:14-15, where Jesus says, “You are my friends if you keep what I command you. No longer do I call you servants… but I have called you friends.” This passage sets the stage for a discussion on authentic friendship.Philosophical Insights: Drawing from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (Books 8-10), the hosts explore his three types of friendship—pleasure, utility, and authentic (virtuous) friendship. Aristotle views authentic friendship as the highest moral achievement, impossible without virtue, as vice renders true friendship unattainable.Christian Perspective: The discussion connects Aristotle's ideas to Christian theology, with references to Augustine, Aquinas, and Cicero. Aquinas describes charity as the highest form of friendship, requiring mutual love, willing the good of the other, and a shared life—mirrored in Christ's relationship with His disciples.Old vs. New Covenant: The hosts contrast the Old Covenant's servanthood (e.g., Abraham obeying without full understanding) with the New Covenant's friendship, where Christ shares divine knowledge, inviting us into intimacy and communion.Confession Insight: Adam shares a transformative moment from confession, where a priest challenged his mentality of doing things for God, urging him to focus on doing things with God. This shift reframes Christian life as a...

Johnny Kuplack joins guest host Brooke Taylor to share how his 3,500-mile pilgrimage run across America shaped his understanding of suffering, perseverance, and interior transformation. Dale Alquist joins Brooke discussing the crisis in modern education and how the thought of G.K.

[This is one of the finalists in the 2025 review contest, written by an ACX reader who will remain anonymous until after voting is done. It was originally given an Honorable Mention, but since last week's piece was about an exciting new experimental school, I decided to promote this more conservative review as a counterpoint.] “Democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” - Winston Churchill “There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.” - G.K. Chesterton https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/your-review-school

Chesterton explains St. Thomas Aquinas' philosophy of Being, and takes shot at nominalists, evolutionists, and other villains. Chapters 1-6 have been also recorded. Look for the earlier episodes!

In this episode I talked with Dr. Dale Ahlquist. Dr. Ahlquist is the co-founder of Chesterton Academy, the President of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton, and the creator and host of the EWTN series “G.K. Chesterton: The Apostle of Common Sense.” He is known as the world leading expert on G.K. Chesterton and is the author of the commentary on Chesterton's book, The Everlasting Man.In our conversation we talked about how The Everlasting Man was the book that converted C.S. Lewis to Christianity, and why Lewis said that this book put forth the best explanation of Christianity that he had ever read. We discussed Chesterton's intellectual ability despite his dropping out of college and never pursuing a higher education. And finally, we discussed what Chesterton would have thought about the modern world we live in today. I hope you enjoy!

Episode Summary: In a world that glorifies burnout, this episode invites you to step back, breathe deeply, and remember: you are not a machine. With wisdom from saints, psychologists, and mystics, we explore the healing power of rest, rhythm, and above all—humor.   Fr. Jacques Philippe reminds us that balance begins with limits. Jesus Himself rested, laughed, and lived in rhythm. And saints like Teresa of Ávila and Philip Neri teach us that true holiness is steeped in joy. Drawing from neuroscience, spiritual tradition, and the wit of G.K. Chesterton, this talk unveils a forgotten truth: laughter is not a distraction—it's a sign of spiritual maturity and trust.   Whether you're battling spiritual exhaustion or chronic self-seriousness, this episode offers a gentle reboot for your soul, your schedule, and your sense of humor.   Reflection Questions for Journaling and Prayer:   Where in your life are you resisting limits? What might God be inviting you to release? How do you experience rest? Is it true rest—or just distraction? When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried? What did that moment reveal about your soul? Do you take yourself too seriously? What would it mean to become “light enough to fly”? How might joy and mirth be signs that you're finally trusting the Father's care?  

It's Friday, July 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Muslim mob disrupts Christian retreat in Indonesia On June 27, a mob of 200 Muslims stormed a Christian youth retreat at a home in Indonesia, driving out participants and damaging property, as police and soldiers looked on reports Morning Star News. Ironically, after praying at the mosque that Friday, they carried banners and shouted, “Destroy that house, destroy that house.” – referring to the home in Cidahu District in the West Java Province. They damaged windows, toilets, a gazebo, and garden. Claiming that a house should not be used as a place of worship, the Muslim mob also threw a motorbike into a nearby river and damaged the main gate. Videos circulating online show a man climbing a wall and removing a wooden cross attached to it, which he then uses to break a window. House sends Big Beautiful Bill to Trump's desk On July 3, the House of Representatives passed the One Big Beautiful Bill to implement President Donald Trump's agenda, sending it to the president's desk, reports The Epoch Times. The bill cleared the House in a 218–214 vote, following an all-night session as Republicans scrambled to win over holdouts who had derailed an earlier attempt to advance the 940-page measure. House Speaker Mike Johnson was exuberant. JOHNSON: “This is the vote tally card. We're gonna frame this one. Okay? 218-214.” The vote also came after Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries held the floor — for what C-SPAN confirmed was a new length record — to lambast the bill for more than eight hours. The only two Republicans who voted against it were Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, alongside the entire House Democratic Caucus. House Speaker Johnson said the Republicans knew they had to get Trump's bill passed in light of the gift of unified government. JOHNSON: “We believed in the election cycle last fall that we were going to be given this great blessing of unified government, that we would have the White House and the Senate and the House aligned -- unified government. “We had a tough four years before this last election cycle. America was in, we were in deep trouble. We knew that if we won, and we believed we would, we knew that if we got unified government, we'd have to quite literally fix every area of public policy. Everything was an absolute disaster under the Biden-Harris radical, woke, progressive Democrat regime.” The legislation enacts many of Trump's domestic policy initiatives, including tax cuts as well as boosting spending for the border and defense. The passage marks a major victory for Republican leadership and Trump, who had to contend with a diverse group of holdouts who objected to the Senate's version of the bill for various reasons, including its effect on the deficit and deeper cuts to Medicaid. House Speaker Johnson, an Evangelical Christian, expressed his gratitude to God. JOHNSON: “We took the best effort that we could, in One Big, Beautiful Bill, to fix as much of it as we could. And I am so grateful to God that we got that done as we did. “I do believe in God. I believe in that motto that is what has made our nation the greatest in the history of the world. And some people shake their heads and they think that's old fashioned or something. That is a fact. “When the framers put this together. They stepped out in faith. They did something that no nation had ever done before. The great statesman, philosopher G.K. Chesterton of Great Britain, said, ‘America is the only nation in the world that was founded upon a creed. And he said it's listed with almost theological lucidity [or clarity] in the nation's birth certificate: the Declaration of Independence.' “We hold these truths to be self-evident. We recognize, we boldly proclaim the self-evident truth that her rights do not come from the government. They come from God Himself.” Psalm 9:1 says, “I will give thanks to You, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds.” The bill will head to Trump's desk ahead of a self-imposed July 4 deadline. He is expected to sign it at 5 p.m. ET today. 4 killed and 14 wounded in Chicago drive-by at rapper party On Wednesday night, four people died from gunshot wounds and 14 others were hospitalized following a drive-by shooting in Chicago, reports The Associated Press. At least three were in critical condition. Three shooters fired out of the SUV before they drove away. No suspect is in custody. Pastor Donovan Price talked to Channel 8 News. PRICE:  “An SUV pulls up and just opens fire on a crowd of people. It was absolute chaos, from people screaming to blood on the streets to people laying on the streets. Just a massive police presence. Horrific. More than I've ever seen.” The shooting took place in Chicago's River North neighborhood, a popular nightlife destination with many restaurants and bars. It was outside a restaurant and lounge that hosted an album release party for a profane rapper named Mello Buckzz, whose actual name is Melanie Doyle. Hip hop lyrics are filled with calls to violence. Ironically, her boyfriend was one of those shot. Thirteen women and five men, ranging in age from 21 to 32, were shot. The dead included two men and two women. On his X account, Pastor Price wrote, “Just sitting in my car crying for some of the people I held tonight.” Psalm 11:5 says, “The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, He hates with a passion.” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said that the violence “has left our city in a state of grief.” RFK Jr. cites link between Hepatitis vaccine and autism Appearing on Tucker Carlson's podcast, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. talked about the link between the Hepatitis vaccine for babies and autism, reports LifeSiteNews.com. He referenced a Centers for Disease Control study that was buried. KENNEDY: “They looked at children who had received the hepatitis vaccine within their first 30 days of life, and compared those children to a children who had received the vaccine later or not at all, and they found a 1,135% elevated risk of autism among the vaccinated children. It shocked them. They kept the study secret, and they manipulated it through five different iterations to try to bury the link.” Secretary Kennedy also referenced 100 other studies and the new studies at the Health and Human Services Department which will be completed by September. KENNEDY: “The external literature is showing over 100 studies that indicate that there is a link. “But we're going to do real science. The way that we're going to do that is we're going to make the databases public for the first time. We have already put out grant requests. Any scientists with credentials can apply for a grant and tell us how they want to go about studying these. We're going to get real studies done for the first time.” (You can watch the entire 90-minute interview on a variety of topics here) Worldview listeners in Nicaragua and Mexico speak up And finally, Bob Kelly wrote me at Adam@TheWorldview.com. He said, “Hello from rural Nicaragua [in Central America,] the 30th most difficult country worldwide to be a Christian, [according to Open Doors.] We like your emphasis on our brothers and sisters who are suffering for Christ.” And Hannah Van Kirk in Mexico said, “My three kids -- Tessa, Reese, and Lincoln -- and I have been listening to The Worldview for a year.

From carving sacred art to raising four kids, Jake shares how slowing down has reshaped not just his craft—but his soul.They talk about the connection between beauty and time, why being creative has nothing to do with being “artsy,” and how discipline and delight can co-exist in the life of a godly man. Jake opens up about the doubts that haunted his early career, what it means to “exult in monotony,” and the emotional moment he hoisted an Amish barn beam onto his shoulder—realizing he was quite literally taking up his cross.This episode is a breath of fresh air in a world that worships speed.What You'll Learn:Why slowing down might be the most spiritual thing you do todayHow discipline, doubt, and beauty all shape a man's soulThe lost art of doing one thing well over a long timeWhat it means to create as a reflection of the CreatorHow parenting and craftsmanship have more in common than you thinkWhy creativity isn't just for artists—it's for every man made in God's imageThe surprising story behind Jake's “Old Rugged Cross” artworkMentioned in This Episode:Jake's book and artwork: https://jakeweidmann.comG.K.

¿Qué hace un poeta infiltrado entre anarquistas en una novela que parece policial… pero termina siendo teológica? El hombre que fue Jueves es una parábola extraña, absurda y profundamente filosófica. En este episodio exploro cómo Chesterton convierte el caos en símbolo, y la fe en enigma.

In this episode, I sit down with Steve Kim, a speaker with Apologetics Canada and a PhD student researching transhumanism, to explore one of the most pressing worldviews emerging in our time. We talk about what transhumanism is, why it matters, and how it's already shaping how people think about identity, purpose, and salvation. Drawing on the ideas of Nietzsche and Chesterton, Steve helps us see what's at stake in the push to become “more than human”—and how the Christian gospel offers a far more hopeful, embodied, and grounded vision of what it means to be human. In his early 20s, Steve experienced a faith crisis due to intellectual undernourishment. Through this experience, he has come to see apologetics as the “intellectual care of the soul” and now feels a personal burden to walk with others who may be struggling with doubt and/or seeking sincerely. Steve holds a diploma in Worship Arts and a BA in Biblical Studies from Columbia Bible College in Abbotsford, BC. He has completed a master's degree in Christian Apologetics through Biola University in La Mirada, CA. He began his PhD studies through the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, exploring any proper limits of human enhancement. https://www.ryleyheppner.com https://apologeticscanada.com/ryley-heppner/

Rocky Supinger concludes the series on G. K. Chesterton's Heretics and Orthodoxy by discussing how Chesterton argued that some ideal must motivate political engagement. We reflect on how Chesterton proposed “reform” as an alternative to the ideals of “evolution” or “progress” that were popular during his time.

Is Catholicism a house of cards, ready to collapse under one false teaching? In this episode, Greg responds to a listener—an evangelical exploring Catholicism—who fears he can't be certain the Church is the truth. With fun analogies like burritos and bridges, Greg unpacks why Protestantism's “modest” claim is a mirage and how Catholicism's evidence makes it a rational choice. Inspired by G.K. Chesterton, this episode is for curious non-Catholics and Protestants ready to cross the Tiber. Join Greg for a sharp, lively dive into faith, doubt, and truth.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”DISCUSSION QUESTIONS With Scripture Are Below the Description!The nobility of knighthood isn't about suppressing masculine power—it's about channeling it properly. Matthew McKenna, PhD candidate in theology at Ave Maria University, returns to explore how chivalry offers the antidote to both toxic masculinity and passionless mediocrity.The conversation begins with a profound observation: fiction shapes us as much as non-fiction. The stories we consume—whether through literature, film, or other media—profoundly influence our worldview and aspirations. This makes the recovery of timeless narratives from authors like Tolkien, Chesterton, and Lewis essential for developing a coherent moral vision.McKenna, expectant father to his first child, shares his concerns about raising children in today's cultural landscape. With pornography exposure happening at increasingly younger ages and children's entertainment becoming progressively more toxic, parents face unprecedented challenges in forming their children's moral imagination. This reality makes understanding the philosophical foundations of our culture wars more important than ever.Read Matthew's Articles at the Catholic Exchange! Understanding St. Thomas Aquinas on You TubeJacks Latest Blog Young Men United in the Eucharist: Heroically Rebuilding the Three Necessary SocietiesFollow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalSubscribe to our Newly Resurrected YouTube Channel!Sign up for our Newsletter: https://jp2renew.org/Discussion questions:How do the stories and media we consume shape our worldview and aspirations, and what steps can we take to ensure we engage with narratives that promote virtue and truth?Scripture Ref: Philippians 4:8 – “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”How does the imagery of a knight's armor in this passage reflect the call to rise above our natural state through discipline and purpose?Scripture Ref: Ephesians 6:13-17 – “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm… having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.”The importance of combining moral virtue with practical skills.

Rocky Supinger continues the series on G.K. Chesterton's Heretics and Orthodoxy by discussing the central experience of faith, which is the central experience of life — mystery and familiarity — at the same time. We reflect on how life within this faith is “eternal” life. It goes on like this forever, not because of us, but also never without us.    

En verano, a pesar del calor, las ciudades y las pequeñas poblaciones se llenan de encuentros. Hay grandes festivales y propuestas más íntimas. Por ejemplo, el Azkena de Vitoria, el FIB de Benicàssim, el Grec de Barcelona o la Feria de Palma. También otros más modestos como Viñetas del Atlántico en A Coruña o el festival SIBERIANA, que comienza mañana en Tamurejo (Badajoz), un pueblo de tan solo 199 habitantes en la Siberia extremeña.Seguimos por 'Un tranvía llamado deseo', la adaptación de una de las obras más emblemáticas del siglo XX. Con todos los ingredientes del universo de Tennessee Williams: neurosis, simbolismo y fingimiento. La obra gira en torno a Blanche DuBois (interpretada por Nathalie Poza) y la decadencia del sur estadounidense, el delirio como vía de escape y una constante huida hacia ninguna parte. Estará en el Teatro Español de Madrid hasta el 27 de julio con dirección de David Serrano. Completan el reparto Pablo Derqui, María Vázquez, Jorge Usón (quienes nos visitan); Carmen Barrantes, Rómulo Assereto, Mario Alonso y Carlos Carracedo.Raúl Losánez nos trae la historia menos conocida de G.K.

Tornado Watches, Snakes, and the Holy SpiritTornado Watch Context: Hosts record during a tornado watch in Tulsa, Oklahoma, joking about their indifference to watches (less severe than warnings) and the confusing terminology.David humorously claims to become a "seasoned meteorologist" each spring, sensing storms "in his bones" and using terms like "hook echo".Brief tangent on Ralph Nader, who ran for president (circa 2000, Bush vs. Gore) and claimed never to have eaten McDonald's, deemed unbelievable at the time due to McDonald's ubiquity and lack of stigma.Main DiscussionMinihan Household AdventuresPossum Incident: While Adam was away, his wife Haylee killed a possum in their chicken coop with a .44 Magnum (jokingly exaggerated), impressing Adam via text.Snake in the House: Upon returning from a trip, Adam's family found a large snake (not a rat snake, possibly a king snake) in their home.A child's blood-curdling scream alerted Haylee; Adam initially deferred to her but helped after learning of the snake.Snake was fast, striking, and required corralling kids into a closet for safety; Adam trapped it using a box and cardboard, later regretting not feeding it to their seven roosters.Diocesan Rat Snake Story: Adam recalls handling a 5+ foot rat snake at the Diocese of Tulsa early in his job, earning awe from coworkers and a social media post.Nashville Recording MishapsForgotten Suit Pants: At a black-tie event in Nashville with Fr. Mike Schmitz, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Harrison Butker, David forgot his patterned suit pants, non-replaceable due to the unique design.Father-in-law Dan O'Brien and Jim Spencer overnighted them via UPS, arriving 45 minutes before recording.Equipment Failure: Their recording case's main power supply cord was severed in transit, requiring significant pivoting.David predicted the need to “pivot” before the trip, likening their adaptability to NBA players; the weekend involved constant problem-solving but was ultimately fun.Catholic Radio Station LaunchMcAlester Station: David and Adam helped launch 90.9 FM in McAlester, Oklahoma, a full-power Catholic radio station built on a shoestring budget.Located on parish grounds (no studio costs, using existing internet/power), it reaches McAlester's community, including three correctional facilities (e.g., “Big Mac” maximum security prison).Launched on the Feast of the Ascension (moved to Sunday in Tulsa's mission diocese), aligning with the Great Commission to evangelize.Aims to evangelize incarcerated individuals without the red tape of prison ministry; David gave a speech post-Mass, nearly upstaged by Adam's readiness to intervene.Prayer request for the station's success.Eucharistic Procession in TulsaNational Eucharistic Procession Stop: Tulsa hosted a stop in the nationwide procession, attended by 500–800 people (David's estimate).Counter-evangelists (not protesters) with megaphones followed the procession, slandering the Church; persistent but civil, they lacked goodwill due to rudeness.Police (not necessarily Catholic) found them annoying; hosts advise listeners to prepare for similar disruptions at other stops.Defense of Faith Question: David ponders if modern Christians are too pacifist compared to Crusade-era defense of faith, citing G.K. Chesterton's The Ball and the Cross (an atheist's slander of Mary prompts a Catholic to challenge him to a duel).Asks Adam if the pendulum has swung too far from defending honor; discussion deferred to post-break.Break 1:...

Rocky Supinger continues the series on G.K. Chesterton's Heretics and Orthodoxy by discussing the relationship of place to our faith. We reflect on how our love of places is an expression of our love for the people with whom we share those places. Our love for the place we live is, ultimately, an expression of our love of God.   

"The fact that people's religion tends to align with the culture and country that they grew up in shows that religion is just a cultural construct""There are so many hypocritical people who have used religion to abuse others, to start wars, or to seek power. These people undermine the validity of religion.""We no longer need God; science explains everything we need to know.""If God exists, then why is there so much suffering and evil in the world?"In this episode, we wrap up our discussion of objections to belief in God. ⁠Donate via PayPal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact the podcast: crashcoursecatholicism@gmail.com.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/crashcoursecatholicism/⁠⁠⁠References and further reading/listening/viewing:Pew Research Center, The Global Religious LandscapeSt. Thomas Aquinas, The Summa Theologiae, 1.2Trent Horn, Answering Atheism National Catholic Register, Does God Want Everyone to Be Catholic?The Problem of Evil: Actually, It's ComplicatedCatholic Answers:Christian HypocrisyAre You a Hypocrite?How can the Church be true when it produces hypocrisy?How to Answer the Problem of EvilThe Problem of EvilFr Mike Schmitz, "Judgmental, Bigoted, Homophobic, Elitist, and Hypocritical" (The World's Perception of Christians)Are All Catholics Hypocrites?Augustine of Hippo: God Enlarges the Capacity of Our Soul that He may Fill Us with His PresenceG.K.

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! This episode marks the final “Godzilla Redux” of season four, and it's a low-key banger! Robert Kelly, who managed to escape capture by the British police after episode 103, returns to discuss his first G-film, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974), and share what Nate says is the most unique take he's ever heard on this film. Namely, Robert says Godzilla is his friend, because Godzilla's monstrousness is a virtue in the vein of G.K. Chesterton. No kidding! But it isn't the only take they discuss—and some are hotter than Big G's nuclear breath! They get into the so-called “alien apes as Americans allegory,” the history and culture of Okinawa as it relates to this film (which is to that island what Lord of the Rings is to New Zealand), and more!

This podcast is the first of four in a series on the works that have had the greatest impact on Senior Associate Pastor Rocky Supinger's faith — Heretics and Orthodoxy by British novelist and essayist Gilbert Keith Chesterton. This evening we reflect on how Chesterton's writings were about the kind of outlook on life that faith should give us — a life of purpose. The Lord didn't really give the disciples a detailed process for doing that or insist on a metric of efficiency. Rather, he gave us an aim to pursue, a wild, seemingly unattainable aim. The strength of our faith will be measured, then, in our commitment to that aim — not in spite of the aim's grandiosity, but because of it.

Today’s episode is an “extra” for this week in anticipation of Friday’s podcast on “A Christian View of Law.” It is a sermon David preached on Psalm 25:14 in November 2023 to re-ignite the imagination of those who might have lost the wonder of the “secret” God reveals to “those who fear him.” David's story as a member of a secret society for BMOCs and Chesterton's "Ethics in Elfland" expose how easily we can easliy lose ourselves in a made-up "real" world.

In this conversation, author Ross Douthat draws from the tradition to tackle a foundational question: Why believe?Amid evidence that America's long trend of secularization has leveled off, a perception of the limits of a strictly materialist worldview, and growing dissatisfaction with “do it yourself” approaches to spirituality, what does traditional faith uniquely offer those seeking truth in our time?New York Times columnist and author Ross Douthat joins us for this conversation, making the case for Christianity and rejecting atheism, all through the lens of reason: “I think secularization as a deep and profound phenomenon is not real, as you can tell. I think the world remains shot through with miracle and mystery and enchantment.” – Ross Douthat We hope this conversation provides a look at faith from a fresh angle, and encourages you in practicing traditional faith as an answer to the search for truth in our time.This podcast is an edited version of an online conversation recorded in February 2025.
