  • Blessed to hear Andrew on the Press!

    Andrew, wonderful to see you sharing your talents with Ignatius Press and the world! I just listened to your delightfully rich chat with Fr. Wetta. He is a classic…so quirky and holy…a real-life saint in the making! For years, I have been handing his books out like candy. I actually gave his recent one away to a student, before I was able to finish it ;) You are a wonderful podcast host …excellent timing and humble and respectful pausing for your guest:-) Ignatius Press is blessed to have you!👍... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Will Catholics Respond to an Apocalypse? w/ Michael O’Brien
Q: What do you hope readers will get from this book?
O'Brien hopes the novel strengthens believers in their faith and encourages nonbelievers to consider fundamental questions about identity, purpose, human worth, and God. He wants readers to see how people can endure crises by asking for grace and growing in trust.
How Will Catholics Respond to an Apocalypse? w/ Michael O’Brien
Q: What is this series about?
O'Brien says the trilogy imagines a possible near future in which people face catastrophes after rejecting divine grace. Its central question is whether people trust God or rely on material resources and self-preservation when their security disappears.
From Maternal Desperation to Best Selling Novel w/ Grace Fitzpatrick
Q: Is that something that you've thought about or that you agree with?
She agrees that fantasy has lasting value, describing imaginative creation as a human impulse rooted in being made in God's image. She says people seek the human truth and nobility that artificially generated fantasy lacks.
From Maternal Desperation to Best Selling Novel w/ Grace Fitzpatrick
Q: Where do these stories come from, these 10 stories in this little collection that you've published?
The stories grew from one tale she invented to comfort her sick son, then expanded through writing them down, family requests and shared jokes.
How to Reform the Church from a Person Working within the Church w/ Jayd Henricks
Q: When we're thinking of church renewal, how do you approach kind of the contentious nature of sort of the liturgy wars or how we can see our way through that?
Henricks advocates a balanced approach that values tradition while making liturgy evangelical and able to draw people in. He encourages Catholics to rediscover the Church's liturgical riches without turning discussion into antagonistic battles.
