CVS Podcast

When Matthew first reached out to me via email a few months ago he described himself as a Christian Agnostic Atheist, meaning someone who is culturally Christian and a weak or Agnostic Atheist. We mainly talked about free will and the first cause argument.

I recently interviewed Aidan's younger brother, Kieran Lisney, and asked if Aidan would be willing to share his faith journey. Aidan is a recent revert to the Catholic faith of his childhood. I enjoyed chatting with him.

Amanda married my recent guest Kevin Mark eleven years ago and they both became Catholic about 3 years ago. Amanda is a devoted wife and mother of six and has a profound faith in the Church, despite some initial reticence. I enjoyed our chat and hope to meet her and her family soon as they are coming to visit Montréal.

Dr. Kevin Mark is the Canadian director of the Kolbe Center, which is a Catholic Creationist apostolate. Mark and his wife Amanda are both recent converts to Catholicism. They have six children and live in Manitoba.

Gretta Vosper is a best-selling author and an atheist minister at West Hill United Church. She envisions an all-inclusive religion where people of different worldviews can build right relationships with themselves, the environment and other humans. I enjoyed our chat.

Kieran reached out via email a few months back and agreed to be my guest. He was raised in a predominantly Catholic environment but lost his Catholic faith because he was unable to accept some of the doctrines he encountered as he matured in his walk with God. He's a good man, and I'm sure we'll chat again.

In preparation for this third conversation we mutually agreed to consciously avoid the many issues that separate us so that we could both enjoy a friendly chat about Special Creation and some related topics. I look forward to our next discussion.

Benjamin reached out to me on Facebook. He was raised Catholic but is now questioning his faith because of philosophical difficulties he encountered at the Franciscan University of Steubenville. I enjoyed our chat.

Geoff is a very jovial fellow, so we chatted for two full hours. We mainly spoke about his work and hobbies, so in the end there wasn't much content for my podcast. Perhaps we can do part 2 some day.

In this Meta episode I offer some responses to Kent Hovind's teachings where they differ significantly from the teachings of Christ and His Holy Roman Catholic Church. The underlying issue is Authority. God help us all.
