Why are some Protestants drawn toward Roman Catholicism—and how should we think about the “one true church”? In this episode, Mark Vance launches a five-part series on the nature of the church, explaining why he remains a Protestant while seeking to speak with both clarity and charity about Catholicism.Mark walks through why historical rootedness feels especially compelling in shaky cultural moments, how true Christianity exists within the Roman Catholic Church, and yet why he believes certain teachings and practices obscure the gospel. He also introduces the four major reasons he's a Protestant: the nature of the true church, the history of the church, the question of authority, and the clarity of the gospel—setting the stage for the rest of the series.Episode Highlights:00:00 — Launching a five-part series: “Why Protestantism?” and why people are asking about Catholicism03:19 — True Christianity within Catholicism—and how some teachings can obscure the gospel08:55 — Overview of the four major reasons Mark remains a Protestant11:25 — The Protestant view of the “one true church” and the visible/invisible church distinction17:43 — How the Roman Catholic Church understands itself as the one true church (one, holy, catholic, apostolic)22:51 — Protestantism as a renewal movement within the one true church, not a competing “true church”24:19 — Are all Catholics saved?

Fr. Dave Heney joins Patrick to discuss Evangelizing at the Dinner Table How is Joy and excitement in the Faith important to evangelization? (16:05) Julia - My daughter recently left the Catholic Church. I don't want to fight at the table. How can we discuss this? (21:56) Break 1 Brenda - I shared an Instagram link without explaining to my daughter-in-law. She was upset by this but we talked about this and it was very healing. I think social media is not a great way to Evangelize without proper context. (28:11) what is the importance of the family meal? (39:45) Break 2 (41:02) Steve - How do we deal with a same sex couple at Thanksgiving? (44:01) Martha - We are having a group of 35 people. We always say grace. Is it ok for a Protestant to lead the prayer this year? The origin of Thanksgiving.

Protestants do not believe in purgatory. They typically reject the doctrine because they argue it lacks biblical support and is inconsistent with the Protestant belief in salvation by faith alone, which holds that Jesus's sacrifice is sufficient for all sin. The concept of Purgatory is thus not adhered to by all Christians but is nevertheless a fascinating topic well worth investigating.

Many men today struggle to bridge the gap from the faith of their fathers and a growing pull toward ancient Christianity. In this honest conversation, an Orthodox son sits down with his Protestant dad to wrestle with ideas from church authority, bishops, early Church history, and the difference between head knowledge and heart knowledge – without tearing the family apart.See our last discussion on Protestantism and Orthodoxy here: https://youtu.be/9bPHjsUZI6MWe talk about hierarchy as self-sacrificing service, why the early Church mattered, and how to confront real disagreements while still honouring your father. If you're a man who feels disillusioned with modern church culture yet afraid of dividing your family, this will hit close to home.If you want strength, stability, and brotherhood as you walk this path toward Tradition, join other men on the same journey in the Genesis Workshop – a structured process to rebuild your life around traditional manhood and ancient Christianity:

Patrick opens the episode reading a listener’s heartfelt struggle over faith, guilt, and family decisions, offering candid Catholic advice wrapped in empathy. Then, he fields a quirky question about the social media “6, 7” trend, weaving humor and reassurance while keeping the conversation anchored in both common sense and spiritual clarity. Suddenly, he’s guiding callers through thorny family situations and deep mysteries of the Trinity, all with that unmistakable blend of warmth, theology, and the gentle challenge to see everyday choices through a Catholic lens. Email – I have guilt for agreeing with my husband for him to have a vasectomy. He now refuses to reverse it. Is it sinful to continue to have marital relations with him? What can I do to get right with God? (01:41) Susan - My son is concerned about the trend of 67 being a 'mark of the beast'. What are your thoughts? (20:10) Jamie - My mother-in-law is remarrying a Protestant man. This is causing division in the family. What can I do? (32:19) Dan - I want to discuss the 1st Chapter of St. John. I feel this is a key chapter in understanding the oneness of the Godhead. What do you think? (39:02)

Send us a textIn this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Way of Valor, Angie Taylor unpacks the hidden forces shaping today's children and equips parents with the clarity and confidence they need to lead with purpose.For nearly 400 years, Western culture was built on a Protestant worldview where work had meaning, family was sacred, discipline was discipleship, and children were seen as image-bearers with purpose. But between the 1800s and early 1900s, new thinkers fundamentally shifted how society viewed identity, childhood, morality, and the family.Angie breaks down how three influential voices Freud, Skinner, and Marx reshaped modern education, psychology, and culture, and why parents today feel like they're swimming upstream. She explains:Freud: “Your desires define you.”Skinner: “You're just a product of conditioning.”Marx: “Society not the family should shape the child.”These worldviews still dominate schools, media, and youth culture. But the good news? Parents are still the #1 influence in a child's life. And with understanding comes the power to reclaim your child's formation.Connect with Angie Taylor on:IG: https://www.instagram.com/mrsangietaylor/?hl=enFB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090424997350

The concept of Purgatory is not adhered to by all Christians but is nevertheless a fascinating topic well worth investigating. The word "purgatory" is rooted in Latin, meaning to purify, purge, or cleanse; a place or condition of temporal punishment for spiritual cleansing after death of souls dying penitent and destined ultimately for Heaven. It is NOT considered as a place of probation, for, the ultimate salvation of those in purgatory is assured, and the impenitent are NOT received into purgatory. The souls in purgatory are supposed, however, to receive relief through the prayers of the faithful and according to the traditional Catholic understanding, through the sacrifice of the mass. Protestants do not believe in purgatory. They typically reject the doctrine because they argue it lacks biblical support and is inconsistent with the Protestant belief in salvation by faith alone, which holds that Jesus's sacrifice is sufficient for all sin.

Today, Pastor Al Dagel gives us a sense of the Book of Judges and urges us to learn from their mistakes and let God be our Judge.

Patrick weaves together commentary from Elon Musk on humanoid robots and their impact on society with listener questions about Catholic practices, exploring everything from the future of AI in healthcare to personal tales of spiritual encounters at home. Questions on confession, salvation, forgiveness, and the meaning of faith ripple through. Tension hums beneath the surface as Patrick challenges outside perspectives on Church tradition, technology, and what it means to live with meaning in a rapidly changing world. Audio: Elon - Optimus will ultimately be better than the best human surgeon and will end poverty (00:19) Angela - Is it okay to use the 'peace sign' at mass? (05:51) John - Our Parish priest used blessed salt to bless our house. Can you explain blessed salt? (10:55) Bill (email) - During the communion rite at Mass, the congregation recites a short passage, "Lord, I am not worthy....." just before the priest consumes the bread and wine. What is the origin of that passage? (21:34) Todd (email) - How does someone outside the catholic faith that can’t go to confession receive forgiveness after committing a mortal sin? If they are sorry for that sin, is that enough or are they destined for hell? (25:59) Mark - Do you believe that the Protestant request for forgiveness is rejected? (37:48) Wally - I was in line for Communion. I dropped the Eucharist and picked it up. The priest took it and ate it and gave me another one. (48:40)

Jeremy Jeremiah, Orthodox Christian, and host of today's Cloud of Witnesses episode, reacts and responds to Dillon Baker of The Protestant Gentleman podcast (https://www.youtube.com/@theprotestantgentleman) testimony that he, Dillon, is leaving the Non-Denominational church, and why.What if the Sunday you know has drifted far from the church you need? We follow a thoughtful journey out of a non-denominational megachurch toward a rooted, reverent, and sacramental vision of Christian life. The conversation starts with authority and structure: why do so many churches teach different things, and who decides? From sola scriptura to elder boards with conflicting interpretations, we unpack how fragmentation becomes normal when there's no visible, historic body to anchor doctrine and practice.We trace the journey out of a non-denominational megachurch toward a historic, sacramental, and accountable expression of the church. Along the way we examine authority, discipleship, pastoral care, reverence, and why communion belongs at the center.• identifying fragmentation born of solo interpretation and weak structures• contrasting seeker models with worship for the baptized• reclaiming the pastor as present shepherd, not executive• rejecting a popular gospel that mutes sin and judgment• restoring reverence through sacred space, symbols, and creeds• embracing participatory liturgy over passive consumption• naming the limits of unformed community group leadership• elevating communion and baptism as the church's heartbeat• counting the relational cost of leaving and discerning next steps• inviting conversation about apostolic continuity and unityFrom there, we move into discipleship and the true purpose of Sunday. If church is designed as a seeker venue, believers become spectators and the gospel gets softer. We make the case that the gathered church should be for the baptized—shaping souls through confession, accountability, and the ordinary disciplines that form resilient Christians. That priority reframes the pastor's role from CEO to shepherd and challenges the assumption that charismatic leadership and scalable programs equal spiritual health.Reverence takes center stage as we explore the power of sacred space, ancient hymns, creeds, and participatory liturgy. This isn't about aesthetics; it's about recognizing the holiness of God and recovering practices that have carried the church for centuries. The climax lands on the sacraments, especially communion. We consider the real presence, why the Lord's Table once stood at the heart of worship, and what is lost when a sermon becomes the main event. Along the way, we count the cost of leaving a beloved community and open a path toward unity with a church that offers accountability, depth, and apostolic continuity.If you're wrestling with megachurch hype, soft preaching, or surface fellowship, this conversation offers a map back to depth and stability.

Hope is more than desire, and Pastor Al Dagel hopes the blessed hope of knowing Christ will strengthen you.     

In this episode, Matt sits down with Adrian Lawson (@sipswithserra on YouTube) to talk about his wild childhood, what it was like growing up in a broken home, living in the foster care system, dealing with parents who were drug addicts, to becoming Catholic and defending that decision against his Protestant family.

Are you “damned” if you don't repent immediately after sinning? In this video, “Damned If You Don't Repent After Sinning?”, we dive deep into one of the most confusing topics in Christianity: mortal sin, Catholic teaching, and whether 1 John 5 actually teaches a “sin that leads to death.” If you're a new Christian, someone who's Jesus-curious, a Christian struggling with your faith, or a skeptic trying to understand Christianity, this conversation will help you think clearly and biblically.We explore what the Catholic Church means by mortal sin vs. venial sin, why some believe certain sins instantly separate you from God, and whether Scripture supports the idea that a single sin can condemn a believer. We also look at Protestant theology, grace, repentance, and the heart of the gospel. Most importantly, we unpack the meaning of 1 John 5:16–17, what “sin leading to death” actually means, and how Christians should think about forgiveness, assurance, salvation, and spiritual growth.If you've ever wrestled with guilt, fear of losing salvation, or questions about how God responds when you fail — this video is for you. Let's seek truth, grow stronger in faith, and understand God's love more deeply.Like our content?

The authority of Scripture and biblical hermeneutics are vital differences between Protestant and Baptist distinctives. In the podcast today we will further discuss briefly the difference in interpreting the Scriptures for what is said rather than from “good and necessary consequence.”

What if the church you've been searching for all along is the one you didn't know existed? Kyle David shares how a lifetime of sincere belief still left him split between Sunday performance and weekday drift—until a medical collapse forced brutal honesty about faith, pride, and the limits of self-reliance. The story begins with restless church-hopping across megachurch stages and traditional pews, and moves through a pandemic-era return to the sanctuary that felt more like rebellion than routine.We trace Kyle's path from church fatigue and a divided life to a near-death crisis that reawakened faith, reverence, and daily discipline. The journey lands in Orthodoxy, where mystery is honored, repentance is central, and community finally feels like home.• Protestant upbringing across multiple denominations• dissatisfaction with casual worship and lack of reverence• gap years from church without renouncing belief• pandemic as a catalyst to reexplore tradition• medical collapse, surgery, and dependence on grace• honoring science while affirming providence• music as a metaphor for spiritual discipline• Eastern sense of mystery aligning with Orthodoxy• finding belonging at St. Anthony the Great• repentance and Christ as the physician of soulsThat restlessness turns into a reckoning when COVID pneumonia, a hurricane evacuation, and months in hospitals strip away pretense. Kyle talks candidly about respecting modern medicine and still seeing providence at work: surgeons and science as channels, not the source, of healing. From that edge of life, he stops “presenting” as Christian and starts practicing one—daily prayer, Scripture, repentance, and a slower, steadier walk. We explore how Orthodoxy's humility before mystery resonates with his Korean heritage and why the Church as a “hospital for the soul” shifted his understanding of mercy, sin, and healing.Music threads through the conversation as a living metaphor. As a drummer, Kyle learned to keep time within and adjust to the room without losing the beat. That's how he approaches faith now—discipline that makes space for grace. The turning point came at St. Anthony the Great in San Diego, where belonging finally felt honest: fewer smoke machines, more reverence; less hype, more healing. If you've felt the gap between head knowledge and a changed life, this story will meet you where you are and invite you deeper into a faith that doesn't explain away mystery but teaches you to stand before it.If this conversation moved you, tap follow, share it with a friend who's searching, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.Questions about Orthodoxy?

It's Thursday, November 13th, 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 Jonathan Clark Russia bans three Baptist churches Forum 18 reports that Russia continues to crack down on Protestant churches. Russian courts banned three Baptist churches last month for not registering with the government. The congregations are part of the Council of Churches Baptist communities. The group has seen at least 10 of its churches banned. These bans have increased over the last year. Authorities often accuse such churches of “unlawful missionary activity.” However, the Baptist churches continue to meet despite the prohibitions and potential fines. When told not to teach in the name of Jesus, the Apostles said in Acts 5:29, “We ought to obey God rather than men.” European countries upset with Russia's drones European countries are investing in anti-drone systems as Russia continues to fly drones into their regions. Russia is testing NATO borders, flying drones as far as Germany, Denmark, and Belgium. Countries that border Russia, like Lithuania, are building public defense programs to prepare for any crisis. Listen to comments made to CBN News by Vice President Tomas Godliauskas of Lithuania's National Defense. GODLIAUSKAS: “We develop kind of a strategy, how we are preparing our citizens militarily and how we're preparing all the rest of the citizens to build the resilience of our population.” UPS plane crashed in Kentucky, killing 3 aboard and 11 on ground In the United States, a UPS flight tragically crashed in Louisville, Kentucky on Tuesday evening last week. The plane crashed just after takeoff, leaving a trail of destruction through businesses and roads. The incident killed the three UPS crew members on board as well as 11 more people.  UPS said in a statement, “Words can't express the sorrow we feel over the heartbreaking Flight 2976 accident. . . . We extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of our colleagues, and to the loved ones of those in the Louisville community.” Supreme Court to hear transgender sports case The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in cases involving transgender sports next year. The cases come from Idaho and West Virginia. In 2020, Idaho became the first state to require people to compete in sports according to their biological sex. West Virginia passed a similar law in 2021.  Lower courts blocked the laws. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the cases by next June. Listen to comments made to CBN News by Jonathan Scruggs with Alliance Defending Freedom. SCRUGGS: “Men are coming into women's sports and taking away podium slots and scholarships. “Just in the West Virginia case alone, since the male athlete there started participating, he's taken away over 400 slots of women and displaced girls, 1,100 times.” International Olympic Committee likely to ban transgenders In a related story, BBC Sport reports the International Olympic Committee is likely to ban transgenders next year. The decision would prohibit men, pretending to be women, from competing in women's categories. The ban would likely take effect before the 2028 Summer Olympics to be held in Los Angeles, California.  13th county in America bans abortion Dickens County, Texas is now the 13th county in the nation to outlaw abortion. County leaders voted on Monday in favor of passing a Sanctuary County for the Unborn Ordinance. Dickens County has a population of 1,725 people. And it is the eleventh county in Texas to outlaw abortion. Augustine's influence felt today And finally, today is the birthday of Augustine of Hippo!  The renowned Christian theologian was born on November 13, A.D. 354 in what is modern-day Algeria, Africa.  Augustine's early life was marred by prodigal living. His mother faithfully prayed for him for years before his eventual conversion in his 30s. This took place after he providentially encountered Romans 13:13-14. The verses say, “Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in … drunkenness … and sensuality. … But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.”  Augustine would go on to become Bishop of Hippo, a Roman province in North Africa. An able scholar, he turned his mind to the theological battles of his day, producing Christian classics like Confessions and The City of God.  Augustine's life and work would have a dominating influence on Western civilization. The Protestant Reformers, in particular, would quote him extensively in their efforts to reform the church over a thousand years later.

St. John Henry Newman (1801 - 1890) was an Anglican priest and Oxford scholar who reasoned his way into the Catholic Church, with the help of the Church fathers. He spent the first part of his life and career as a Protestant, but once a Catholic, he made a lasting and significant contribution to Catholic thought and apologetics.

Fr. Dom is back! James and Fr. Dom tackle one of the most misunderstood yet absolutely essential topics in the spiritual life: baptism. This is not just another Church formality. This is the dividing line between belonging to the Kingdom of God and the dominion of Satan.Drawing from Scripture, the Catechism, and the wisdom of the saints, TMC lays out with clarity and conviction what baptism truly does: freeing us from original sin, making us sons of God, and incorporating us into the Body of Christ. Without it, you remain enslaved to sin and outside the family of God.You'll hear why the early Church Fathers, councils, and even the Protestant revolution itself reveal that there's no salvation without baptism. Fr. Dominic doesn't sugarcoat the truth — he calls modern men to wake up to the spiritual reality of this sacrament and to recognize the Church as the one true means of salvation given to us by Christ Himself.James and Fr. Dom also confront why our age resists authority, why relativism and pride have blinded so many, and why men must reclaim their God-given duty to lead their families into the faith by baptizing their children without hesitation.In this episode, you'll discover:The biblical foundation of baptism — from Acts to Corinthians to the Great Commission.Why baptism isn't symbolic but supernatural warfare.How baptism undoes the curse of Adam and Eve and reclaims your soul for God.Why relativism, pride, and modernism are destroying moral order — and what Catholic men must do to restore it.The spiritual danger of delaying baptism for your children.Why contemplating death (memento mori) prepares your soul for heaven.Challenge to Men: If you have children who aren't baptized — schedule it now. Don't delay. Fathers, you are the protectors of your family's souls. Take your post. Lead your household back under the protection of God. Baptism is the first weapon in your family's arsenal against hell.3 Powerful Quotes:“Through baptism, we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God. We become members of Christ and sharers in His mission.”“If you're not going to follow God, then who do you belong to? Baptism begins to undo definitively the faults of our first parents in the garden.”“Parents, you're supposed to protect your child. Why would you let them walk this world owned by Satan when baptism can claim them for God?”Key Takeaway: Baptism isn't optional — it's the decisive act that transfers your soul from the dominion of darkness to the Kingdom of Christ. Every Catholic man must treat it as a matter of eternal life and death.Send us a text Support the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Join the show with a TEXT here!A former Protestant apologist has flipped the script: once a defender of sola scriptura, he now argues that the church's authority supersedes Scripture. In this episode we watch his video, unpack his central objections to sola scriptura, and trace how his new ecclesial framework reshapes his understanding of dogma.We'll move from close reaction to careful analysis, testing his claims against historical and theological standards and then putting one of the canons from Nicaea II under the microscope to show where an ecclesial-first approach clashes with a Scripture-centered view of authority.This episode is for anyone interested in doctrinal controversies, patristic authority, or the Protestant–Catholic/Eastern conversation—pastors, students, and curious listeners alike. Grab your Bible, bring a snack, and settle in!

Most of us learn to pray by listening to others. But what if we could learn from the prayers of believers who have gone before us — prayers shaped by Scripture, refined through centuries, and written to form our hearts and words together? In this episode, we talk with Jonathan Kanary about The Book of Common Prayer — what it is, how it's structured, and why it's one of the most deeply Protestant resources ever written. They explore how written prayers don't replace spontaneous prayer, but actually train us for it, and how praying together with common words shapes a community in faith, humility, and love. If you've ever wondered whether written prayers are “too formal” or “too high church,” this conversation will give you a fresh, surprising look at a book designed to help ordinary believers learn to pray.

In this sermon from John 6, Christian Barrett explores the reality of Christ's presence in the Eucharist — not as a mere symbol, but as a real and spiritual participation in His life.1. Discover what Jesus meant by calling Himself "the Bread of Life”2. Understand the Protestant view of the Real Presence3. See how John 6 points to the cross, the resurrection, and the ongoing life of faith. Key Passage: John 6:25–71This message invites us to take seriously Jesus' words about feeding on Him — to approach communion not casually, but with awe and faith.Whether you're Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant, this passage calls us to see that Christ is truly present among His people when we gather in faith, and that the Lord's Supper is more than a symbol. It also challenges the ideas presented by Roman Catholics and Orthodox against Protestants for their views on the Lord's Supper.

Salvation was treated like a transaction through rituals and indulgences, and the gospel was buried under centuries of human authority. The Bible was locked away in Latin, unreadable to most people. But God was preparing a movement of rediscovery—the Protestant Reformation.In this episode, we'll see how men like Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, John Calvin, John Knox, and the lesser-known Anabaptists helped bring Christianity back to the simple gospel of faith in Jesus Christ.The Reformation wasn't rebellion—it was rediscovery. It was a return to the gospel buried under layers of religion.The Reformation BeginsMartin Luther, a German monk, struggled with guilt and never felt good enough for God. While reading Romans 1:17, he discovered that righteousness is a gift from God—received by faith, not earned by works. Around that time, the Church was selling indulgences to raise money for St. Peter's Basilica, claiming that people could buy forgiveness. Outraged, Luther wrote his 95 Theses and nailed them to a church door in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517.The document spread quickly thanks to the newly invented printing press, and a movement was born. Luther stood before church authorities and declared, “My conscience is captive to the Word of God. Here I stand. I can do no other.” While hiding from persecution, he translated the Bible into German so ordinary people could read it for themselves.Other Reformers Across EuropeWhile Luther led in Germany, others joined the cause across Europe:Ulrich Zwingli in Switzerland preached directly from Scripture, opposed indulgences, and emphasized simple, Bible-centered worship.John Calvin in France and later Geneva wrote The Institutes of the Christian Religion, organizing Christian theology and emphasizing God's sovereignty, grace, and the authority of Scripture.John Knox in Scotland, a student of Calvin, boldly preached the gospel to kings and queens and helped establish the Presbyterian Church, governed by elders with Christ as its head.William Tyndale in England translated the Bible into English so people could read it in their own language.The Reformation spread rapidly, dividing Europe between those who followed the old system and those who embraced this rediscovered gospel of...

Ronald Reagan's Traumatic Childhood: An Alcoholic Father, an Optimistic Mother, and the Seeds of Aloofness.Max Boot discusses Ronald Reagan's childhood during the Great Depression, beginning in late 1932 when Reagan visited his father, Jack Reagan, in Springfield, Illinois, where Jack was running a shoe store. Jack Reagan, an Irish American shoe salesman, was characterized as a "ne'er-do-well" with a charming gift of blarney but plagued by alcoholism. His drinking problem contributed significantly to the misery of Ronald Reagan's childhood, as Jack repeatedly lost jobs, forcing the family to constantly move. This created a sense of dislocation in young Ronald, known as Dutch, and the need to conceal the "family secret" fostered a lasting sense of remoteness and a "mental barrier." His difficult childhood also resulted in an aversion to personality conflict, stemming from the numerous arguments he witnessed between his father and mother, Nelle. Ronald Reagan was born in a winter storm in 1911, with his nickname "Dutch" originating from his father's remark that he was a cheerful, chubby little baby boy. Nelle Reagan was an extremely admirable Protestant who belonged to the Disciples of Christ faith and was intensely religious and highly committed to community service. She was also a "frustrated actress" who cast Dutch and his brother Moon as extras in plays she staged. Nelle's relentlessly positive, upbeat, and optimistic personality taught her son that one must always look on the "sunny side of life," allowing Reagan to cope with his difficult childhood by always placing a positive gloss on it. A formative experience occurred around age 15 when Reagan secured a job as a lifeguard at the Rock River, saving 77 people from drowning and becoming a small-town hero, providing him with a taste of being renowned and admired.
