    I understand radio formatting and ad slots but there is no reason these should carry over to podcasts. I would pay for a subscription and listen if the slots were cut out. Now I do neither.

  • A Must shave for any Podcast Library

    Catholic Answers Live is a fantastic program. The moderators are very good. The guest experts are extraordinarily knowledgeable yet humble. They treat every caller, Catholic, Protestant or atheist, with tremendous respect. For anyone interested in Christianity, I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough. It is a must have. Must listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#12817 Why Trust God When He Doesn’t Answer Prayers? Faith and Hope - Marcus Peter
Q: What role does fasting play in praying for family restoration or other long-term desires?
Fasting is a discipline that complements prayer, increasing the fruitfulness of petitions and aligning one's desires with God's will, while staying faithful in prayer for the salvation and well-being of loved ones.
#12817 Why Trust God When He Doesn’t Answer Prayers? Faith and Hope - Marcus Peter
Q: How can a caller with personal life struggles relate their journey to trust in God and not finish in despair?
Trust that God is at work even in unfulfilled plans or broken relationships, practice humility and perseverance, and continue to seek God's guidance through prayer and fasting as a practical expression of faith.
#12817 Why Trust God When He Doesn’t Answer Prayers? Faith and Hope - Marcus Peter
Q: Is there a good way to pursue the calling in a healthy way, especially for a layperson who wants to engage in apologetics?
Study under credible teachers, build knowledge incrementally, and let God direct you toward the platform where you can serve best, remembering that the calling is about serving others and sharing the gospel, not about self-promotion.
#12817 Why Trust God When He Doesn’t Answer Prayers? Faith and Hope - Marcus Peter
Q: What should someone do if they feel a strong desire to pursue professional apologetics but feel unequipped?
Respond with prayerful discernment, study theology and apologetics, and consider where God leads you, focusing on loving God and the salvation of souls, rather than forcing a specific career path.
#12825 Should Christians Drink Alcohol? Truth, Scandal, and Hope - Joe Heschmeyer
Q: Do you think the Vatican doctrinal note bearing on Marian consecration has any bearing on the theology behind Marian consecration?
Yes, the doctrinal note cautions against language that could mislead about Mary's role, clarifying that co-redemptrix language is not needed for essential Catholic faith and liturgy remains intact; Saints' language should be carefully caveated to avoid confusion, while affirming orthodox Christ-centered theology.
