The Cordial Catholic

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by author and apologist Parker Manning to talk about some of the mistakes Evangelicals make when discussing, considering, and engaging with Catholicism. 
And this is deeply personal! I was drawn to Parker's book because many of these mistakes were the exact ones that I made as an Evangelical. Coming to recognize these mistakes is a large part of what made me consider Catholicism. 
We tackle topics like cherrypicking Scripture, misquoting the Early Church Fathers, picking and choosing which Christian traditions to believe in, misunderstanding arguments from silence and so much more – touching on topics of church hierarchy, Sola Scripture, and more!
Check out Parker's book The Protestant Fallacies and read more of his articles from Catholic Answers.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by author, speaker, and Bible teacher Melissa Overmyer to talk about her conversion to Catholicism. It's a wild story featuring one of the most amazing miracles I've ever heard – you're going to know when you hear it!
Melissa shares the story of how, as a Baptist Bible teacher, and someone profoundly in love with Christ, she ended up converting to Catholicism – and how she loves the Catholic faith!

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my new friend (and potential blood relative) Father Joseph-Anthony Kress, OP to talk about the surge of recent Catholic converts, the role of the saints and the rosary in this conversion wave, and why non-Catholic Christians considering Catholicism shouldn't be afraid of giving the rosary – an ancient, powerful prayer practice rooted in Scripture – a try!

It's a great conversation with a wonderfully generous and cordial Dominican! The best kind!

For more from Fr. Kress check out the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage.

You can also listen to him on the Godsplaining podcast.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Diane Pietras to share the story of her incredible faith journey. Raised Catholic, Diane's story isn't the typical story of a Catholic convert from another faith tradition – although she does, indeed, become a non-denominational Evangelical at one point – but rather a story of proper conversion: of falling away and coming back to the faith, again and again. 
Diane's story is one of deep tragedy and trauma, of spiritual warfare and physical violence, of demons and dreams and visions, of incredible mystical experiences and a near-death encounter. It's an amazing story. 
Listener discretion advised: some content is not suitable for all listeners.
Please do listen to Diane's daughter, Carolyn, in Episode 353 of the podcast.
