As a Catholic convert, I am learning so much from Dr David. I have been listening for several years and always pick something new. Highly recommend.
Wow! I am a practicing Catholic and every time I listen to this show I learn something new. If you want to receive a deeper understanding if the Catholic faith, this show is a great repository of information.
Thanks Dr Anders! You’re a regular in my lineup along with other well known Catholic apologists 🙏
This is the best podcast on religion that I know of. Dr. David Anders is not only deeply learned and extremely intelligent and articulate in describing and defending the teachings of the Church, but he also shows, over and over, that he is a kind hearted person who lives the Gospel in his own life. When a caller is clearly worried or upset he is very solicitous and comforting. I have never heard him lose patience with any caller or question.
Thank you Dr. Anders and Tom. I listen to your show everyday. It helps me to explain and defend the faith!!
