608: Make a Friend, Be a Friend, Lead a Friend to Jesus
While we ought not be childish in our faith, we are called to be childlike, and one of the ways that we can do so is by engaging in friendship and conversation with those around us in less self-conscious ways. Why? So that we can lead them closer to Jesus. But how? That's what Dr. Chris and Traci Austin discuss in this episode. Enjoy!

607: The Power of a Variety of Friendships
In a culture in which more and more people feel alone, it's imperative that as disciples of Jesus Christ, we be open to friendship with others, including those who live in different states or stages of life than our own. That's what Dr. Chris and Traci Austin discuss in this episode of Ignition. Enjoy!

606: The Church: Defender of Human Reason
Jesus said that if we abide in His word, we will know the truth, and the truth will set us free. In our day, though, it's popular not only to deny Jesus' word, but to deny our ability to know the truth at all. And yet the Catholic Church proclaims -- as she always has -- that reason is a gift from God by which we can indeed know the nature of reality and what it means. That's what Dr. Chris talks about in this episode of Ignition. Enjoy!

603: Why Do We Doubt God's Goodness?
A common misconception of God is that rather than being a good and loving Father, He in fact is a cruel tyrant who simply seeks to dominate us. Why do we think that, and what can we do about it? That's what Dr. Chris discusses in this episode of Ignition. Enjoy!
Customer Reviews
Good insight
This podcast is filled with good insight into the teachings of Christ protected by the Church. The amount of negative humor or banter gets old quickly.
Superior Content from Trusted Catholic Source
Grateful for this podcast for its content and willingness to accept listener feedback. Host also willing to answer questions and devote episodes to educating listeners on requested topics on all things Catholic.
excellent talks
I truly enjoy listening to this podcast. I've learned a lot. I particularly like 'Why We Do What We Do At Mass'. Even this lifelong Catholic learned some things. I think this should be given to every Catholic to deepen their faithlife and participation at Mass.
