The "Vision Thing" (#210)

Are Catholics "Born Again?" (#209)
Evangelical and Pentecostal Protestants say that salvation begins with being "born again" or "born again in the Spirit." They also say that the Catholic Church doesn't believe in or help Catholics to become "born again," and so many or most Catholics aren't really saved. Is that true? Greg and Ed the Protestant explore what being "born again" means in the Bible and how the Catholic Church brings that about in the life of every baptized Catholic.

Invaluable resource
Thank you for this ministry. It is not only educational for me as a cradle Catholic, but an invaluable resource that I have recommended often. This podcast has not only equipped me with the information to explain my faith but also provides a practical aid to share with others who have questions or are curious about the Catholic Church. Always look forward to the next episode!

This podcast is a light in a lost and confused world
These guys are so helpful. They explain things in a way people can understand, my heart has truly been opened to the idea of Catholicism, I am currently fighting the social aspects of it but by this podcast and other sources I have had practically all of my reservations explained away. I would recommend this to anyone. Blessings 🙏🏻
