It is possible to encounter God and go back to the same life. It is possible to live as if the miracle had never happened. It is possible to say "I believe" and not be a witness. But it is also possible to not see a miracle and still bear witness to Christ by how we live, what we choose, and what we love.

Today we share Bishop Barron’s talk at the 2021 Los Angeles Religious Education Congress titled “Catholics, Media Mobs, and the Culture of Contempt.” The talk focuses on how to address the swell of negative and nasty behavior we’re seeing online, not just in general but especially among Catholics.

Most people know that saints are an important part of our Catholic faith. But what, exactly, is a saint? And what do saints matter for us today? That's what Dr. Chris and Renae Kranz discuss in this episode of Ignition.

Virtually everyone has scars. And every scar has a story. Scars are reminders of our past...they are reminders that won’t go away. And Jesus has kept His wounds in order to help us to never forget His story.

Many people, including many religious people, think that faith and reason contradict one another. But the Catholic Church has always taught that just the opposite is true: that there is a profound harmony between them, and that includes between science and faith as well. That's what Dr. Chris and Renae Kranz discuss in this episode of Ignition.

From politics to COVID, this past year has been filled with disagreement. That led Christian apologist Natasha Crain to write an article titled “Disagreement Fatigue and 2020: How the Events of the Year Will Shape Christian Interactions in 2021 and Beyond.”

Bishop Barron and Brandon discuss the article, focusing on three of Crain’s predictions for 2021: more Christians will be hesitant to speak publicly about their faith, Christians will increasingly see apologetics as a contributor to (unhealthy) disagreement, and belief in a generic God will continue to be acceptable in culture, but belief in Jesus as God will become increasingly gauche.

A listener asks, what form was Jesus in before the incarnation?

Death is final. The death of Christ was thought to be final. But it wasn’t the end...it was just the beginning.

We're still in the Easter Season, celebrating the Resurrection. But sometimes our own sufferings and wounds from the past make it hard for us to *experience* the Resurrection, to *experience* God. Our human hurts harm our relationship with God. So what do we do with that? That's what Dr. Chris and Alison Conemac discuss in this episode of Ignition.
