Dr. Scott Hahn is on the program to talk about his new book. We discuss the origins of the book, the importance of the body in life and death, the vital part the Eucharist plays in our body as well as our faith, and how early Christian's treated the body and how that changed western civilization. The book is fascinating and packed with history from the early church, the church fathers, and scripture. I can't recommend it enough.

We profess it in our creed. We're taught that to bury and pray for the dead are corporal and spiritual works of mercy. We honor the dead in our Liturgy through the Rite of Christian burial. We do all of this, and more, because when Jesus Christ took on flesh for the salvation of our souls he also bestowed great dignity on our bodies. In Hope to Die: The Christian Meaning of Death and the Resurrection of the Body, Scott Hahn explores the significance of death and burial from a Catholic perspective. The promise of the bodily resurrection brings into focus the need for the dignified care of our bodies at the hour of death. Unpacking both Scripture and Catholic teaching, Hope to Die reminds us that we are destined for glorification on the last day. Our bodies have been made by a God who loves us. Even in death, those bodies point to the mystery of our salvation.

This week popular blogger and podcaster Efran Menny of Menny Thoughts and the Priestly Passion joins me. We discuss, and barely touch the surface, of African American influence on Catholicism. Included is a great introduction to the great Saint Peter Claver, Bishop James Healy, Daniel Rudd, and Henriette Delille. So much great information. For more information check out the website of the National Black Catholic Congress at https://www.nbccongress.org/. Also check out the Menny Thoughts blog at mennythoughts.wordpress.com.

What makes someone a disciple? Are you a disciple because you're Catholic? Or because you go to Mass? Or because you’re involved in your parish? No. Becoming a disciple is an intentional choice to follow Jesus. Richaél Lucero points out following Jesus is not a state of mind. An intentional disciple follows Jesus by mimicking what he did during his life. What exactly does that entail? Listen in to learn.

This week John DeRosa joins me to discuss his book   One Less God Than You: How to Answer the Slogans, Clichès, and Fallacies That Atheists Use to Challenge Your Faith. Upon reading this book my initial reaction is this book serves as a field manual for engaging atheists. We cover John's 5-step approach when defending the faith and take a look at a few of the twenty slogans atheists commonly use and how we can work our way through them.

36:02 - My Pentecostal friends claim that 1 Cor. 14:2 proves that their speaking in tongues is valid and holy. Is this true? 

45:30 - I was very angry at God and told him I was leaving the Church. I don’t want to be a part of the Church, but I do talk to God sometimes. Can you help me to sort this out?

43:50 - What do you think of geocentrism versus heliocentrism?

Judy shares the beauty of candid feedback from those we love. What's it like to be on the other side of me? Scripture says a wise person will hear and increase learning and understanding. May we have the grace to hear feedback and ponder the things we hear in our heart and take it to the Lord in prayer.

Check out the Summa

“It behooves man to be maintained in a becoming order towards other men as regards their mutual relations with one another, in point of both deeds and words, so that they behave toward one another in a becoming manner.”

In regards to friendliness: the virtuous man will sometimes not shrink from bringing sorrow to those among whom he lives… For this reason we should not show a cheerful face to those who are given to sin, in order that we may please them, lest we seem to consent to their sin, and in a way encourage them to sin further.
