How do we bring people back to Church and at the same time how do we return the Church to her former glory? For decades Church teachings and traditions have been watered down by modern society.

Get your copy of Brandon's book  The Prodigal Church: Restoring Catholic Tradition in an Age of Deception   here . 

If there is one thing each of us could use right now it's a little hope. From our personal lives to the life of the Church an interjection of hope would be a truly wonderful thing. Join Kris Frank and I as we discuss the many areas in life where can can play a role in bringing hope to others. Grab a copy of Kris' book Hope. Always. Our Anchor in Life's Storms  here . 

This week Tim Glemkowski stopped by to discuss parish renewal. We took a particularly hard look at how this has morphed since the covid pandemic. Grab your copy of Made for Mission: Renewing Your Parish Culture  here . 

This week John DeRosa joins me to discuss his book     One Less God Than You: How to Answer the Slogans, Clichès, and Fallacies That Atheists Use to Challenge Your Faith .  Upon reading this book my initial reaction is this book serves as a field manual for engaging atheists. We cover John's 5-step approach when defending the faith and take a look at a few of the twenty slogans atheists commonly use and how we can work our way through them.
