In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Bible scholar Dr. Stephen Boyce to tell the story of his conversion from Baptist to Anglican and, ultimately, into the Catholic Church. Stephen's story begins in independent Baptist churches, up through his PhD in a Baptist seminary, and through teaching and pastoring, researching the Early Church, and ultimately coming to the conclusion that his own denomination didn't look like Early Christianity. Driven by these realizations, Dr. Boyce, his wife, and kids became Anglican and, eventually, driven by the Real Presence in the Eucharist, Catholic.Dr. Boyce is someone that I've personally followed for some years. I love patristics and have appreciated his work and I couldn't be more excited to sit down with him and listen to his conversion story this week. I hope you enjoy! For more from Dr. Boyce check out his FACTS podcast on YouTube and Spotify.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

The sheer numbers of moral scandals in the evangelical church has been unprecedented as far back as we can remember. We can't just ignore this. The stories don't stop. A major evangelical author fell down, and 188 stories like this just last year. Kevin and Danny get back to what Jesus said. The evangelical gel is not going to work. The comfy and the casual church, the soft grace, and the powerless gospel isn't going to cut it. We talk sobriety, watchfulness, and prayerfulness in the war on this segment of Generations.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Claire Noel, a convert to Catholicism, with an absolutely compelling story to tell. While almost impossible to summarize Claire's story is one that needs to be heard to be appreciated. From Christianity to a major deconstruction and years in the New Age movement. Claire's story is punctuated by twist after turn including encounters with dark forces as her and her husband tried to make their way out of the New Age movement. And, ultimately, discovering that the Calvinist, Reformed faith they had rediscovered wasn't the same faith held by the apostles and the Early Church – and discovering a much more ancient, apostolic tradition in Catholicism. This conversion journey is absolutely packed with everything from encountering the rich, deep holistic teaching of the Catholic Church's Theology of the Body to observations and realizations about Christian unity and denominations, to encounters with the unmistakable, miraculous intervention of God. You won't want to miss this conversation – especially because it almost didn't happen!To find a follow Claire please visit her Instagram page.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

Empire of Print: Evangelical Power in an Age of Mass Media (Oxford UP, 2025) offers a fresh account of evangelical power by uncovering how the American Tract Society (ATS) leveraged print media to spread its message across an expanding nation. One of the era's largest media corporations and a pillar of the benevolent empire, the ATS circulated some 5.6 billion printed pages between its founding in 1825 and the eve of the Civil War. It wasn't just the volume of materials that mattered—it was the sophisticated media infrastructure that evangelicals developed for their message to reach readers, coast to coast. Media infrastructure refers to the material assemblages that work below the surface of media content, including the format of publications, the avenues of their movement, and the circumstances surrounding their reading. As a non-coercive yet effective form of power, infrastructure shaped how, when, and why readers engaged with evangelical texts. While showing how the ATS became a formidable force in American society during the nineteenth century, Empire of Print opens larger questions about the entanglements among people, things, texts, and institutions, the dynamics of power in a media-saturated world, and the salience of race, class, and region in the distribution and reception of media. Sonia Hazard is an assistant professor in the Department of Religion at Florida State University. This episode's host, Jacob Barrett, is currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Religion and Culture track.

Leading evangelical seminary plans move from United States to Canada.Trinity Evangelical Divinity School rose to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s under its second dean, Kenneth Kantzer. Its renowned faculty—including Don Carson, Walt Kaiser, John Woodbridge, Wayne Grudem, and Carl F. H. Henry—helped American evangelicals recover from the fundamentalist/modernist controversies of the early 20th century, as well as the inerrancy dispute that erupted at Fuller Theological Seminary in 1962.By the early 21st century, TEDS alumni, including David Wells, Mark Noll, Doug Moo, and Craig Blomberg, held research positions in other seminaries, while Michael Oh led the Lausanne Movement.Long plagued with financial problems, TEDS leaders announced in April they would close the campus north of Chicago after the current school year as they merge with and relocate to Trinity Western University in British Columbia. Kevin Vanhoozer announced that instead of moving to Canada, he would join the faculty at Wheaton College's Litfin Divinity School.In other blows to the long-standing influence of Chicago-area theological education, Northern Seminary struggled through a presidential transition, and Trinity Christian College announced its closure after more than 60 years. The balance of evangelical power in the United States continues to shift to the South.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Brian Recker shares his personal journey of faith, theology, and transformation. Raised as a pastor's kid, Brian grew up immersed in evangelical Christianity, attended Bob Jones University, and later became an evangelical pastor himself. In this conversation with host John Quick, Brian reflects on the theological questions that began to trouble him over time and ultimately led him to step away from institutional church life. He talks about what it was like to wrestle publicly with long held beliefs, the pressure of certainty in faith communities, and how his understanding of God and Jesus has evolved through that process.The discussion centers on Brian's book Hell Bent: How the Fear of Hell Holds Christians Back from a Spirituality of Love. Brian explains why he now believes fear of hell has distorted Christianity's message and why he sees Jesus as pointing people toward love, compassion, and human flourishing rather than fear and punishment. Brian shares how these convictions shape the way he approaches faith, spirituality, and life today. This episode offers insight into Brian's evolving theology and will resonate with anyone curious about faith, deconstruction, or a more love centered understanding of Jesus.Brian Recker's bookhttps://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/771172/hell-bent-by-brian-recker/Brian Recker's websitehttps://www.brianrecker.com/Brian Recker on social mediaSubstack: https://brianrecker.substack.com

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna resumes his conversation with Scott Horton to examine the historical and contemporary applications of the Monroe Doctrine, tracing its shift from a defensive stance against European colonization to a tool for American imperial dominance in the Western Hemisphere. The dialogue focuses heavily on the complexities of regime change in Venezuela, analyzing the motivations behind US sanctions, the influence of political figures like Marco Rubio, and the interplay between corporate oil interests and geopolitical lobbies. Moving beyond Latin America, Horton offers a critical perspective on NATO expansion and the denial of a Russian sphere of influence in Eastern Europe, which he argues has fueled the conflict in Ukraine. The interview further uncovers the "business of intelligence" by discussing how NGOs and faith-based organizations can serve as covers for government operations, illustrated by a detailed anecdote about a failed coup in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Finally, the speakers reflect on the legacy of US involvement in Afghanistan and the flaws in established narratives regarding counter-terrorism and global interventionism. Scott Horton is director of the Scott Horton Academy of Foreign Policy and Freedom director of the Libertarian Institute, editorial director of Antiwar.com and host of the Scott Horton Show from ScottHorton.org (https://scotthhorton.org). He is the author of four books. He has conducted more than 6,000 interviews since 2003. He has recently released The Scott Horton Academy of Foreign Policy and Freedom.  Scott lives in Austin, Texas with his wife, Larisa Alexandrovna Horton.
