  • Confession Episode 6/11/26

    This was the best Godsplaining episode that I have heard. Sometimes priests unintentionally cause pain, and this episode brought me so much peace.

    The speed of presentation makes for a challenge for the older audience. I’ve had lots of training in the details you discuss, but your conversation’s structure is beyond me. May I suggest a preview of topics, and reminders dropped in, of the outlined topics?

    Good stuff!

  • Thought-provoking and spiritually enriching podcast

    Heard about this podcast while listening to Fr. Gregory Pine read and analyze St. Augustine’s Confessions on the Catholic Classics podcast. Have listened to a few episodes of Godsplaining thus far and found them to be intellectually and spiritually stimulating as well as interesting and entertaining. Just pre-ordered Fr. Pine’s book, Training the Tongue, which he discusses in the most recent episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trent Horn on Why Apologetics Isn't Enough
Q: What got you into Protestant apologetics first?
Trent explains that as a convert who engaged with Protestant friends, his early involvement grew out of a personal journey and a desire to help others along theirs, moving from personal conviction to dialogue with Protestants and later broader Catholic apologetics.
Dr. Bob Schuchts on Hurting, Healing, and Miracles
Q: What happens when healing doesn't come in the way a person hopes?
God desires healing but the method and timing are God's, not ours; maintain trust, continue praying, and recognize healing can occur over time or in other aspects of life.
Dr. Bob Schuchts on Hurting, Healing, and Miracles
Q: How should someone begin to ask for healing if they're unsure what to say?
What matters is the heart's disposition and presenting a sincere desire to the Lord; articulate needs if possible, but trust that God may heal in ways beyond our words.
Dr. Bob Schuchts on Hurting, Healing, and Miracles
Q: Is healing possible, and what does healing look like beyond an immediate outcome?
Healing is ongoing and multidimensional, tied to God's loving truth and designed to bring wholeness in body, mind, and spirit, even if the outward sign isn't what we expect.
The Strength of St. Joseph with Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC
Q: How has the church's reception of Saint Joseph shaped devotional life in recent times?
The conversation highlights the Church's broader encouragement through Marian devotions and the Year of Saint Joseph, which broadened interest and led many to explore Joseph through books, pilgrimages, and parish life.
