July 11, 2024 On the Journey, Episode 148: What is Divine Revelation? Dei Verbum, Part I
Many are familiar with the fact that the Catholic Church does not hold to the Reformation doctrine of "sola Scriptura."
But what *does* the Catholic Church teach about God's Word?
Matt Swaim, Ken Hensley and Kenny Burchard begin a new series unpacking "Dei Verbum," the Catholic Church's official document on Divine Revelation from the Second Vatican Council. They begin by looking at the historical climate leading up to the council in the early 1960's, and how that provided a new opportunity for the Church to re-articulate its understanding of how God speaks to His people.
As former Evangelical pastors, Ken and Kenny share how reflecting on this period in Catholic history has helped them to better appreciate what the Church has to say about the Bible and the nature of divine revelation.

May 01, 2024 On the Journey, Episode 145: All That Scandal - Kenny's Story, Part V
Kenny Burchard continues to share with Matt Swaim and Ken Hensley the story of his journey to the Catholic Faith.

When Kenny, who had been a Pentecostal pastor, told some friends he was considering becoming Catholic, he was asked why he'd want to join a church that had gone through so many scandals.

For Kenny, this was a question that hit close to home, because every Christian group he'd ever been involved with had gone through scandal after scandal, and split after split. And given his experience of those heartbreaking realities, especially as a former Protestant pastor, it was something he had certainly thought about when considering the Catholic Church.

April 24, 2024 On the Journey, Episode 144: Which Christianity? – Kenny’s Story, Part IV
Kenny Burchard continues to share with Matt Swaim and Ken Hensley the story of his journey to the Catholic Faith.

As Kenny discovered more and more divisions among Christians, he became increasingly unsettled by them. He and his wife got into ministry together in the Pentecostal world, but their experience of everything from Christian radio to Christian bookstores and more overloaded them -- was it even possible to know which take on Christianity was the correct one? Could there ever truly be Christian unity?

Kenny Burchard continues to share with Matt Swaim and Ken Hensley the story of his journey to the Catholic Faith.
As Kenny tried to find his way in his new life as a Christian, the question of where he fit among fellow believers became front and center.

He began to wonder: with all the options out there, what kind of Christian was he?

April 10, 2024 On the Journey, Episode 142: Ignorance on Fire – Kenny’s Story, Part II
Kenny Burchard continues to share with Matt Swaim and Ken Hensley the story of his journey to the Catholic Faith.

At the end of the last episode, Kenny was a brand new, "born-again" Christian. He shares how in that first year that followed, his zeal overflowed in ways that ended up damaging relationships.

He was passionate about his newfound faith, but without mentors to help show him how to live it, Kenny found himself in constant debates and conflicts over matters of religion.
Kenny shares a window into what that first year as a new Christian was like, and the lessons he's learned from reflecting on it over time.

April 03, 2024 On the Journey, Episode 141: "I Must Be Born Again!" - Kenny's Story, Part I
In a new series of On the Journey, Kenny Burchard begins to share with Matt Swaim and Ken Hensley the story of his journey to the Catholic Faith.
Kenny starts at the very beginning: from being given up for adoption by Catholic parents, to being adopted by parents who didn't practice religion at all, to growing up around Mormons in Utah and eventually having a "born again" experience in the 1980's that changed everything for him.
It's a great story, and we look forward to sharing more chapters from it over the next few weeks!
