Know the Faith. Defend the Faith.

This episode is my presentation from the "God Is Mercy" conference that took place November 28-29 on www.smartcatholics.com . We are all in need of God's mercy because we have all messed up. What is holding us back from his mercy and the sacrament of reconciliation? The Lord is waiting for us with open arms.

Had a great conversation with Cesar of Growing Up Catolico. We discuss many things in our conversation. We discuss a few things that are important to being the family man that God calls us to be. Things such as prayer, scripture reading, and the proper ordering of vocations are all things that we discuss.

Art Ayris of Kingstone Comics joins me to talk about an exciting new release.  They recently released The Epic Bible which is a 840 page comic book adaptation of the Bible.  The work is done by artists who have worked for DC and Marvel comics in the past.  In this interview he discusses what brought the Bible about, what the process was like creating it, and some feedback it has received.  It is a good way to get children interested in scripture.  Though based on the Protestant canon, Art is seeking Catholic contributions.    Check out Kingstone comics website at  www.kingston.com

Today Steve Ray joins me to talk about what it means to be born again. We discuss what we meant by it when we were both evangelicals, but he digs deep into scripture. Starting with the Old Testament Steve works forward to get the proper context of John Chapter 3 and what it means to be born again the Bible way. He has a great article on his website www.catholicconvert.com where he goes into detail on everything we discuss.

He is also the author of several books including "Why Catholic Bibles Are Bigger" and "The Case For The Deuterocanon". He also has a YouTube channel called "Apocrypha Apocalypse" where goes into various issues on the Deuterocanon.

In today's episode Catholic author, speaker, and apologist Steve Ray joins me to discuss the Protestant idea of Sola Fide, or faith alone.  Is this how we are justified?  Or is there something more that the Bible teaches? We discuss what we believed as Protestants and contrast it with the Catholic view.  He gives tons of scriptural support to prove the Catholic view and that the Protestant view is novel as far as history, and scripture, is concerned.   Visit Steve's awesome website  www.catholicconvert.com  for tons of free resources.
