Listener Geraldine writes from the Netherlands to ask for an episode on “indifferentism.” Just how are we supposed to share the Faith with people who show no interest? We get some helpful answers from Matt Nelson, author of Just Whatever: How to Help the Spiritually Indifferent Find Beliefs That Really Matter.

We are in the Second week of Lent.  What is going to be a major focus of this podcast during Lent?  St. Teresa of Avila and her book The Interior Castle.  For the episode today we are touching on the way she tells us to understand the purpose and need of the second dwelling place.

Go beneath the surface with Paul Murano and Kent as they discuss what it means to surrender to the will of God, in good times and in bad.

Karlo Broussard shares the bible blueprint for the Catholic Church.

Questions Covered:

 

14:16 - I am an Anglican. What is the Catholic perspective on the Anglican claim to apostolic succession? 

21:19 - What part of the old covenant is brought into the new covenant? 

29:35 - Do Anglicans coming into communion with the Catholic Church have to be re-ordained as priests? 

32:33 - I know you use Colossians 2:16 to identify that the Sabbath is no longer binding on Saturday. What is the reason for some translations saying “Sabbath(s)” versus “Sabbath”? Douay Rheims and King James use the plural version. 

41:25 - How do you know that Jesus in the Eucharist is the real presence? Christ says to “do this in memory of me,” which makes me think that it is a reenactment. 

47:44 - How can we talk to Protestants when they say we can only use the Bible in our conversations?

Transgenderism is a growing concern for the Church as more and more parents and kids are convinced to take part in gender treatments from a young age. Mary Rice Hasson talks about the danger of accepting gender dysphoria as healthy and provides practical support for how to combat this dysphoria.

Questions Covered:

23:38 - How should Christians respond to the claim that “gender is a social construct”? 

35:13 - Why is it such a big deal if someone lives their life as they see fit? Being so anti-LGBTQ is turning people away from Jesus. Why do you have to say you’re right and they’re wrong? 

44:04 - My child is 17, almost 18. She has autism and she mirrors behavior. She now believes that she is a male trapped in a female body. She has had hospitalizations and the staff has completely supported her by changing her name in her chart and refusing to refer to her by her name. How can I navigate this? How can I protect my daughter from the medical staff?

Our first ever return guest is Chloe Langr, a Catholic wife, mom, and author living in the heart of the Midwest.

Chloe hosts Letters to Women, a podcast that explores what it means to live out the feminine genius in the everyday. A Catholic Book Award winner, Chloe is the author of several books, including Created for Love: Reflections for the Catholic Bride-to-Be and the forthcoming Letters to Women: Embracing the Feminine Genius in Everyday Life.

As in Season Two, Chloe invites us to spend time with words from Pope St. John Paul II:

“Thank you, every woman, for the simple fact of being a woman! Through the insight which is so much a part of your womanhood you enrich the world's understanding and help to make human relations more honest and authentic."

Find the full letter here.
