095: An Anglican Priest Looking for the Catholic Church (w/ Father Scott Wooten)

Last updated on: February 2, 2021 at 8:06 pm By K. Albert Little

In this episode I’m joined by Father Scott Wooten. Father Wooten is a former Anglican and Episcopalian priest, now an ordained Catholic priest, and his journey into full communion is a great one! Father Scott’s journey into the Catholic Church is a search, ultimately, for the united, one Church that Christ founded and i’s fullness. It’s a great story, a winding road, of a passionate pastor in search of the fullness of Christ and His Church and a great witness... Read more

Last updated on: January 25, 2021 at 8:36 pm By K. Albert Little

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I’m joined by Catholic convert, author, apologist, and podcaster Eric Robinson to talk about whether or not Christ founded a visible Church – or are Christians just an invisible collection of believers? As converts, this is something both Eric and I wrestled with.

Would the Early Church Fathers Fit in at Your Evangelical Church?

Last updated on: January 25, 2021 at 8:43 pm By K. Albert Little

I recently had the pleasure of hosting my friend and fellow convert Rod Bennett on the podcast to talk about the Early Church. Rod has written extensively on this—his first book, Four Witnesses, is a bestseller and one of the most popular books out there on the Early Church Fathers, the disciples of the apostles who were some of the very first Christians. It was a great conversation but culminated in a fantastic question from Rod, posed to those Evangelical... Read more

Last updated on: January 13, 2021 at 2:00 pm By K. Albert Little

In this very special crossover episode, I’m joined by Austin Suggs from Gospel Simplicity as we host an incredible conversation with Joe Heschmeyer and Dr. Gavin Ortlund on the question of, “Being Deep in History…”. Can a Protestant study the Church Fathers and remain Protestant? What does the Catholic do when they encounter Early Christians who don’t sound very Catholic – or Catholic doctrine and dogma that doesn’t seem to be found in Early Christianity. These questions, and many more,... Read more

Would the Early Christians Be Welcomed by Evangelicals?

Last updated on: December 9, 2020 at 11:16 pm By K. Albert Little

Rod Bennett was deep in the Jesus People movement when he found a copy of the Early Church Fathers in an evangelical book store. The discovery changed his life. Rod, like myself and many evangelical Christians, always thought that Church history ended with the death of the last apostle, with end of Acts or, at least, the last of Peter and Paul’s letters. Discovering, says Rod, the sheer volume, the enormous magnitude, of writing from the Christians that followed those in... Read more

Last updated on: December 9, 2020 at 9:30 pm By K. Albert Little

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I’m joined by William Albrecht and Father Christiaan Kappes to discuss Mary in the Scriptures and through the eyes of the Early Christians.
