  • What a blessing

    As a convert to the church, this show has been and continues to be such a blessing. I love Joe’s format, the way he so speaks the truth in love, breaks down a topic so well you don’t even realise you’ve been hit with a truth bomb until it’s over. It’s so approachable, I’ve learnt SOOOOOO much. You have to try an episode if you haven’t so far.

    Also I love the theme tune and joes intro and outro, please never change these they’re so heart warming.

    God bless you, praying for you, your family an... more

  • Thank you Joe!

    Joe, my wife and I have been life long Protestants in our 50’s who have only recently been drawn through Gods Grace to the Catholic Church. Our eyes have been opened and we can’t look away. You have been immeasurably helpful with your thoughtful and detailed teaching of Catholic doctrine. We pray Gods blessing on your life and work at shameless popery. You’ve “saved” us! Thank you!

  • Redeemed Zoomer

    Why would you ever engage a liar and flake like redeemed zoomer? Engaging the likes of MacArthur and Sproul makes sense as they are real Calvinists who unlike RZ have accomplished something (as wrong as they may be).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#167 Do Muslims and Christians Worship the Same God? - Joe Heschmeyer
Q: What is the role of the Trinity in the debate?
The Trinity is essential to God's nature, and a denial of the Trinity is essentially a denial of God, though Jews also do not believe in the Trinity subsisting in Christian faith.
#167 Do Muslims and Christians Worship the Same God? - Joe Heschmeyer
Q: Do Muslims and Christians worship the same God?
As I see it, there are three popular answers: No, because Muslims reject the Trinity; no, because it's not really God speaking in the Koran; and yes, because both Muslims and Christians are worshiping the God of Abraham.
#168 The one Papacy question that STUMPS Protestants… - Joe Heschmeyer
Q: Who was the first Pope?
The answer is that Saint Peter is considered the first Pope based on scripture and early church history.
#159 Gay Atheist vs. Catholic Sexual Morality DEBATE review - Joe Heschmeyer
Q: Why do you think that discussing intrinsic evils is necessary?
Identifying which actions are categorically wrong is crucial for clear ethical guidelines in society.
#159 Gay Atheist vs. Catholic Sexual Morality DEBATE review - Joe Heschmeyer
Q: What are your views on marriage and its implications from a Catholic moral standpoint?
I believe marriage as an institution inherently involves complementary roles of men and women, which benefits children.
