Ep. 153: A Candid Q&A About Catholicism—Part 2 (with Pastor Rick Witmer)
In our Part 1 of this series, we answered common questions about Catholicism from the Catholic perspective with help from a Catholic priest. In Part 2, we’re sharing answers from a Protestant viewpoint.The number one question I get asked from Catholics is, “We seem so aligned on a lot of topics, so why aren’t you Catholic?”We answer this question and so many more in this episode—particularly focusing on the biblical passages on which we are basing our beliefs and convictions. (You’ll find all those references below!)We also highlight the key theological differences that mean our answers must diverge from the Catholic stance.We pray this episode is a blessing and an encouragement to all who listen/watch, and we’re so glad you’re here, regardless of where you fall in this discussion.Bible References:Ephesians 2:8-10Hebrews 13:8John 19:30Ephesians 2:92 Corinthians 5:21James 2:17Philippians 2:12John 13:35John 14:15-31Hebrews 10:111 Peter 3:18Romans 14:5Romans 6:12Matthew 6:16-18Matthew 6:9-13Hebrews 10:142 Corinthians 5:89Luke 23:43Isaiah 6:51 Corinthians 2:9Romans 7Romans 8:12 Peter 2:31 Corinthians 2Galatians 1:6-8Mark 1:14-151 Corinthians 15Matthew 9:23-25Revelations 21:5Hebrews 11Luke 1:46-55Luke 2:11Mark 102 Timothy 3:16-17Matthew 17:1-82 Thessalonians 2 :15Isaiah 55:111 Corinthians 11-14Galatians 6:14Links:The Gentleness ChallengePenny Reward SystemPaint & ProseM Is for Mama

Ep. 152: A Candid Q&A about Catholicism—Part 1 (with Pastor Rick Witmer)
You asked, we’re answering! After months of receiving questions about Catholicism, I decided it was time to dive in. I’ve invited Wit (my pastor) to join me as we address FAQs about Catholicism from Protestants (Part 1) and answer questions about Protestants from Catholics (Part 2). For Part 1, Wit interviewed a local Catholic priest, Father Gavin, to ensure that our answers accurately reflect the Catholic perspective. Any answers he gives in this episode either come directly from Father Gavin’s responses or from other sources accepted by the Catholic Church. Although we provide some commentary in this episode, our goal is primarily to faithfully convey the Catholic viewpoint on some of the most common questions I received (such as whether Catholics worship Mary or why they believe in purgatory). We hope this episode provides clarity for those non-Catholic listeners who find themselves wondering about common points of confusion. Enjoy!

Ep. 151: Why Family Devotionals Matter (With Melissa and Michael Kruger)
We know we’re supposed to read the Bible with our kids. But sometimes, we overlook the why of its importance. In this episode, Melissa and Michael Kruger approach the topic of family devotionals in a way that makes it seem doable—because it is! It’s not about perfection but instead intention. And with their new book. The Good News Family Devotional, they’ve created a resource that walks parents through the process of teaching God’s Word (in this case, the gospel of Mark) to our children. Our best advice? Just start somewhere, and then stay the course, trusting the Lord to direct your path and sustain you every step of the way.Sponsor Info:Voetberg Music AcademyVoetberg Music Academy provides online, at home, shareable lessons so that your kids can pursue their musical passions without stress or hassle.Use Code: MISFORMAMA10 at checkout to get your first month for only $10!Guest Info:Melissa and Michael Kruger - Authors of The Good News Family Devotional: 52 Weeks Through the Gospel of MarkWant to Buy Their New Devotional?
