078: Answering Evangelical Questions about Catholicism (w/ Austin Suggs)

Last updated on: October 12, 2020 at 12:02 pm By K. Albert Little

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I’m joined by Austin Suggs from the incredible YouTube channel Gospel Simplicity. Austin is an evangelical, he’s a theology student at Moody Bible Institute and he first came onto my radar when he made a video about his experience at a Catholic Bible study. Austin is honest, humble, and willing to build bridges and have cordial conversations about Protestant and Catholicism differences and divisions. We arranged this conversation to talk about some...

077: What’s Wrong with Sola Fide (w/ Matt Swaim and Keith Nester)

Last updated on: October 12, 2020 at 12:05 pm By K. Albert Little

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, we’ve reassembled our popular panel of converts from our discussion on Sola Scriptura (in Episode 66) to talk about the other famous Protestant “sola,” Sola Fide – the idea that Christians are saved “by faith alone.” Joined by Matt Swaim and Keith Nester, we discuss what Sola Fide means, how it’s understood differently in different denominations, how we wrestled with it, and ultimately, how it isn’t all that different from a Catholic understanding...

Last updated on: October 12, 2020 at 12:08 pm By K. Albert Little

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I’m joined by Leah Libresco. A cerebral, deep thinker, Leah was a staunch atheist when she became to meet Catholics in her debate group and, herself, became interested in looking deeper into the faith. In this episode she takes us on her spiritual journey and explains what ultimately led us to find God in the Catholic Church. It’s a great conversation and Leah was very fun to talk to!

Last updated on: October 12, 2020 at 12:10 pm By K. Albert Little

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I’m joined by author Carl E. Olson to talk about what Catholics believe about the end times, the rapture, and dispensationalism. Carl grew up in the thick of fundamentalist, dispensationalist theology before becoming a Catholic along with his wife and has written a fantastic book on the subject.

074: The Biblical Blueprint for the Mass (w/ Dr. Andrew Swafford)

Last updated on: October 12, 2020 at 12:13 pm By K. Albert Little

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I’m joined by Scripture scholar Dr. Andrew Swafford to talk about the biblical blueprints for the Mass. What insights do the Old and New Testaments give us into the Mass? What was God foreshadowing with the sacrificial system and the Temple in the Old Testament? How should this inform our understanding of the New Covenant, of the Last Supper, and of the crucifixion and the Mass? With several Bibles at hand, Dr.... Read more

How to Debate an Evangelical on the Eucharist… And Win!

Last updated on: August 23, 2020 at 11:54 pm By K. Albert Little

OK, cheeky title aside, good apologetics is never about winning an argument but rather about moving hearts and winning souls. In 1 Peter 3:15, the apostle writes, always be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence. Our apologetics, our explaining the faith, is about giving an account for our hope, not winning an argument but when it comes to issues that divide Christians, like the Eucharist,... Read more

Last updated on: October 12, 2020 at 12:17 pm By K. Albert Little

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I’m joined by Jon Steingard, frontman of the Christian rock band Hawk Nelson, for a unique conversation about the deconstruction of his Evangelical Christian faith and some of the interesting places where our two “conversion” stories intersect. This is not the kind of conversation I usually host on this podcast but seeing so many similarities between by my own conversion from Evangelical Christianity to Catholicism and Jon’s own journey out of his...

Last updated on: October 12, 2020 at 12:23 pm By K. Albert Little

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Holly Ordway to talk about imagination, evangelization, and her journey into the Catholic Church as an atheist academic. It’s a fantastic interview which touches on her conversion story, the use of imagination in apologetics, important points to consider while speaking about Christianity, and the why Dr. Ordway wasn’t satisfied by becoming an Protestant Christian and found herself, to her surprise, going all the way to Rome.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Lawrence Feingold, one of the Catholic Church’s leading theologians, to unpack what everyone needs to know about the Eucharist. We cover the Eucharist from the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Early Church Fathers, and discuss what happened to Eucharistic Theology when the Reformation happened.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Jonathan Reimer, an Assistant Professor of History at Eastern University, to talk about how we can talk, intelligently, accurately, and cordially about the Reformation. Dr. Reimer has some incredible insights about the roots of the Reformation, the Catholic response, and how we can best dialogue, across the Protestant/Catholic divide, about this unfortunate and divisive moment in Church history.
