    365: An Evangelical Encounters the Early Church Fathers (w/ Mike Aquilina)

    In this episode of The Cordial Catholic I'm joined, by one of our favourite guests and a good friend of the show Early Church historian Mike Aquilina to walk through what an Evangelical – like myself! – encounters the very first time they begin to read the Early Church Fathers. Based on my own experience, and the experiences of so many of the guests of this show, we talk about what it's like to encounter the Early Church Fathers, those who learned at the feet of the Apostles, and the picture of the Early Church they provide: a church with the Eucharist at its centre, bishops and apostolic succession, and a model of Christianity that looks decidedly Catholic!  For more from Mike visit his website. You can also find Mike's new book The Church Fathers for our Time from the St. Paul Center. Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

    364: What Nearly Being Killed Taught Me About Catholicism (w/ Michael Bell)

    In this episode of The Cordial Catholic I'm joined, for a very unique and fascinating one-of-a-kind stories, by Michael Bell. Michael isn't a Catholic convert but the incredible story of his life – being shot in the eye and nearly dying! – is something that significantly deepened his faith and he's on a mission to share it wherever he can.  We talk, in this episode, not only about Michael's amazing story but about suffering and Catholicism, the importance of the prayers of the saints, the importance of remembering stories, like Michael's, and what they can teach us going forward and the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding our walk with Christ, day in and day out.  For more from Michael follow him on Instagram.

    363: The Eucharistic Miracles That Prove Catholicism (w/ Shaun McAfee)

    In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by author, apologist, and Catholic convert Shaun McAfee to talk about his new – and incredibly fantastic – book on Eucharistic miracles.  As a non-Catholic Christian who believed that the elements of communion – the bread and wine – were merely symbolic, encountering Eucharistic miracles, miracles that seemed to validate Catholic doctrine like the Real Presence of Christ and yet defy explanation through science were like a gut punch.  How can the Catholic Church be a false religion when God seems to be working miracles that only serve to prove that they teach?! It was questions like these that led me deeper and deeper into Catholicism and exactly what Shaun brings to us this week: amazing stories of science- and reason-defying miracles that confirm Catholic teaching. The consecrated host levitating, bleeding, surviving natural disasters or attempts at destruction and so much more.  This is an absolute gem of an episode packed with evidence that will leave the non-Catholic Christian, we hope, scratching their heads! Check out Shaun's website and his new book Compendium of Eucharistic Miracles from TAN Press. Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

    362: The Biggest Mistakes We Made as Evangelicals (w/ Parker Manning)

    In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by author and apologist Parker Manning to talk about some of the mistakes Evangelicals make when discussing, considering, and engaging with Catholicism.  And this is deeply personal! I was drawn to Parker's book because many of these mistakes were the exact ones that I made as an Evangelical. Coming to recognize these mistakes is a large part of what made me consider Catholicism.  We tackle topics like cherrypicking Scripture, misquoting the Early Church Fathers, picking and choosing which Christian traditions to believe in, misunderstanding arguments from silence and so much more – touching on topics of church hierarchy, Sola Scripture, and more! Check out Parker's book The Protestant Fallacies and read more of his articles from Catholic Answers. Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

    359: Why Are So Many People Becoming Catholic? (w/ Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress, OP)

    In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my new friend (and potential blood relative) Father Joseph-Anthony Kress, OP to talk about the surge of recent Catholic converts, the role of the saints and the rosary in this conversion wave, and why non-Catholic Christians considering Catholicism shouldn't be afraid of giving the rosary – an ancient, powerful prayer practice rooted in Scripture – a try! It's a great conversation with a wonderfully generous and cordial Dominican! The best kind! For more from Fr. Kress check out the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage.

    358: The Most Miraculous Conversion Story You'll Ever Hear (w/ Diane Pietras)

    In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Diane Pietras to share the story of her incredible faith journey. Raised Catholic, Diane's story isn't the typical story of a Catholic convert from another faith tradition – although she does, indeed, become a non-denominational Evangelical at one point – but rather a story of proper conversion: of falling away and coming back to the faith, again and again.  Diane's story is one of deep tragedy and trauma, of spiritual warfare and physical violence, of demons and dreams and visions, of incredible mystical experiences and a near-death encounter. It's an amazing story.  Listener discretion advised: some content is not suitable for all listeners. Please do listen to Diane's daughter, Carolyn, in Episode 353 of the podcast.
