Are Noah’s Ark and a global flood compatible with the modern scientific and historical perspectives we hold today?

Join Conor and Bryan Osborne from Answers in Genesis as they discuss the incredible story of building the Ark Encounter in Kentucky, real-world shipbuilding techniques that Noah could have employed, and why ancient cultures across the globe all preserve flood traditions. They also discuss how evolutionary assumptions have shaped modern science — and why Bryan is convinced that challenging those assumptions is essential for understanding the Bible’s historical credibility.

Tune in to hear about:

- The engineering behind the construction of a life-sized ark

- Evolution vs Creationism

- Dinosaurs, the fossil record, and carbon dating

- And why Genesis is foundational for understanding Christ and the Gospel

Whether you’re a young earth creationist, a committed evolutionist, or someone simply curious about Genesis and early world history, this episode offers clarity, depth, and a fascinating perspective into one of the most beloved Biblical events in Salvation History.

Can a faithful Catholic truly be a libertarian? Patrick Deneen joins Conor Gallagher for a riveting takedown of one of the most seductive lies in modern politics. In this powerful conversation, Deneen exposes how both left and right libertarianism—born of the same liberal root—have poisoned our culture, eroded the family, and hollowed out the soul of the West. He reveals how the obsession with “freedom” without virtue leads not to flourishing, but to fragmentation, isolation, and despair.

From the collapse of community and the rise of elite disconnection to the spiritual emptiness of consumerism, this episode confronts the political and moral decay shaping our times. Deneen calls for a radical return to faith, prayer, and the common good—anchored in a mixed constitution that restores balance between leaders and ordinary people.

Prepare for a thought-provoking challenge to everything you think you know about politics, freedom, and what it means to live as a Catholic in the modern world.

👉 Has modern Catholic worship lost its soul? In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski joins Conor Gallagher to ask a bold question: Is the Novus Ordo Mass less Catholic than the Traditional Latin Mass?

They trace the sweeping liturgical changes since Vatican II, exploring how the Novus Ordo reshaped Catholic belief, reverence for the Eucharist, and the Church’s sense of sacred mystery. Dr. Kwasniewski argues that these reforms created a “Catholicism-lite” — a faith stripped of its symbolic depth, language of beauty, and theocentric focus.

If you’ve ever wondered why so many Catholics are returning to the TLM — or how the Church can recover her lost reverence — this conversation offers historical insight, theological depth, and a hopeful vision for renewal.
