Birthday celebrations yielded great joy and a listener-request podcast topic on one of the most difficult topics to discuss and dismantle- maybe ever. Join Chuck and Annie after a grueling (and hiliarious) “Leg Day” as they discuss a topic, which if you has a pulse, affects YOU- The Problem of Suffering and God’s existence.

On the Fulkerson’s 3-week 13-state road trip, there was one common theme, and they need to share it with all of you. Why? Because it directly affects each and every one of you, and it’s the one thing that St Lucia shared from the Blessed Mother’s message during the apparitions at Fatima 101 years ago. Which side are you on?

On a recent family road trip, we explored Mammoth Cave, camped in the National Park, hiked the beautiful Kentucky trails, and visited the Ark Encounter , a life-size reconstruction of Noah’s Ark according to the Biblical dimensions. Within it, we walked through three floors of exhibits depicting what life might have been like for both Noah and his family and also the animals. The life-size animals that were modeled in the exhibits were largely unrecognizable, though, because they were mostly comprised of dinosaurs. The tour continues with exhibits describing science and technology as anti-intelligence and refuting many branches of science and its discoveries, including geology, hydrology, botany, paleontology, archeology, and more. We’ve done episodes before on the relationship between faith and reason and religion and science and the wonderful “both/and” of Catholicism, but in this episode we focus on how we should interpret Scripture. How should we read and understand it? What does the Church say? Find out in this episode.

In last week’s episode, we discussed many topics with respect to evangelization and the great intellectual tradition of the Church with our guest, Bishop Robert Barron. In the wake of that interview, we received a great amount of feedback wanting to know more about some of the topics Bishop Barron addressed. In this episode, we address Bishop Barron’s assessment that after Vatican II anti-intellectualism crept into religious culture and explain eccumenical councils especially Vatican II in much more detail to provide the cultural and historical backdrop for the largest meeting of all time, what made it different, what it actually intended and declared, and why it has been unjustly blamed for so much confusion over the last fifty years. Tune in to this episode where we set the record straight on Vatican II.

(The title of this episode is a play on St. Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologiae.)

To celebrate the 1-year anniversary of the Salt and Light podcast, we are graciously joined by the great Bishop Robert Barron! Listeners to the show will know what an enormous influence Bishop Barron has been, especially on Annie, in the life of evangelization and the great intellectual tradition of the Church. Chuck and Annie had the honor to Skype with Bishop Barron to discuss a variety of topics related to evangelization as both a receiver and a preacher of the Good News, including statistics of the “nones”, “allergies” towards definitive statements about God, why post-modern people are ill-equipped to conduct fruitful arguments, and what both clergy and laity can learn from the Acts of the Apostles to bring forth the enthusiastic and efficacious Gospel message. Finally, Bishop Barron shares his vision for Word on Fire!

This week we celebrated the Liturgy of Light with the children who have spent the year experiencing the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program at our parish and growing in love for Our Lord. The Liturgy of Light is like a mini-Easter Vigil, and our son read the Gospel for the ceremony. In this episode, we chat about the ceremony, the Gospel (Mk16:1-7), and what we can learn from the angels… and their alleged accents.
