Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

370: So You're Thinking About Becoming Catholic? (w/ Rob McGrath)
Q: What do you think of that? Because I know that you thought this too deeply, and I think you haven't answered the question that I was posed many, many years ago, Rob.
McGrath calls the Bible-versus-tradition question a false dichotomy, distinguishing everyday customs from sacred tradition. He explains that the faith was transmitted orally before Scripture was written and that the biblical canon was recognized through the Church's history.
370: So You're Thinking About Becoming Catholic? (w/ Rob McGrath)
Q: What do you think of the idea of the fullness that we encounter in the Catholic faith, Rob?
McGrath says the Catholic Church claims to hold the full deposit of faith given by Christ and the apostles, without stripping anything away. He emphasizes that this is a gift to share, not a claim of superiority over other Christians.
369: An Incredible and Unexpected Conversion Journey (w/ Carol Berry)
Q: So tell us where your faith life kind of begins.
Berry describes her Church of Christ upbringing, later involvement in Baptist and Methodist churches, and the experiences that eventually led her toward Catholicism.
367: Why I Quit Church Shopping and Became Catholic (w/ Dr. LuElla D'Amico)
Q: How did your experiences with literature influence your turn toward the Catholic faith?
Studying literature through a sacramental lens revealed how faith, truth, and beauty permeate reading, guiding me to see Catholicism as a coherent worldview rather than a set of separate doctrines.
351: How a Founder of the Vineyard Church Became Catholic (w/ Steve Sjogren)
Q: What led Steve to leave the previous ministry context and explore Catholicism?
Steve describes a growing sense that he didn't fit anymore in his former leadership role, a longing for deeper clarity and continuity, and a realization that there was more depth and breadth in Catholic tradition that aligned with his years of ministry.
