Catholics â that is, true Catholics, are constantly bombarded and persecuted by the cultureâs version of love. The popularized slogan âlove is loveâ really means, âif you are a loving person, you must accept what any person deems as loveâeven if that runs contrary to your beliefs and morals.â Contraception, spouse trading, pedophilia, same-sex acts, no-fault divorce, sex-changes, pornography, polygamy, abortion, and adultery are just some of the ways that our culture proposes love.
What is the Christian response? When responding to our cultureâs claims that love is love many Catholics are gravely disadvantaged, feel helplessly ignorant, and because of this cave into the worldâs maxims. Is there a simple, reasonable, theological response that dispels the lies of every sexual moral heresy and proclaims true love and the way to live it? The answer is yes, and the Catholic Church has it.
Listen now to Devin Schadt and Judah Kennedy as they provide the antidote to every moral sexual heresy.

Religion has been defined as the means by which human beings attempt to âreachâ God and make God knowable. In an attempt to accomplish this man has offered many solutions to the problem of religion. Being that each religion maintains and proclaims different and varied tenants of beliefâoften opposing each otherâthere are only three scenarios: first, all religions are correct (which cannot be true); all are religions are incorrect (which may be true) or there is one religion that is correct, and all others are incorrect. In this episode Do Catholics Know God? Devin Schadt and Judah Kennedy briefly review the differences in many major religions (Judaism, Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah Witnesses and more) and why Catholicism is the only right religion among them, and the implications of being Catholic or a non-Catholic. You donât want to miss this.

God wonât deny me heaven⊠I am not evilâŠIâm actually a pretty good person. It doesnât matter what religion you identify with, or if you identify with any religion at allâwhat matters is that you are a good person. Ideas like these are nearly universally accepted, even among devout Christians. But what if the idea of âbeing goodâ as the standard of oneâs salvation is actually bad? But could this idea be thwarting the initiative to save sols. In Just Have to Be a Good Person to Get to Heaven, Devin Schadt and Judah Kennedy discuss five reasons why the idea of âbeing a good personâ is illogical and refutes itself.

Zero sum thinking, also called zero sum fallacy assumes that there is a fixed amount of âXâ and when two parties desire âX,â one personâs gain will become another personâs loss. In Donât Fall for Zero, Devin Schadt and Judah Kennedy discuss questions like: How do Christians apply the zero-sum fallacy to God, Mary, and the saints? Is praying to the saints stealing honor from God? Is the veneration of saints an act of idolatry that robs God of His glory? What does zero sum thinking say about God and how does it affect our relationship with God? In this episode Devin and Judah answer these questions and much more.

We all want more. More money, more time, more success, more prestige, more pleasure, more fun, more friends, fans, and followers⊠we all want more. But often the more we want the less we have. Why do we often lose what we worked so hard for? How do we get more?
We are commanded to be generous, to give, and help others. But often we become fearful that if we give, we will have less. We are tempted to believe that having more is achieved by giving lessâby holding on tightly to what we have.
The devil conditions us to believe that giving more we will have less, that we will suffer less if we have more, and the more we have the less we will need. But what if that is a lie?
In The Catholic Father Episode 8, Wanting More, I focus on a certain individual who believed these things and his belief determined his fatal destiny. By looking at his example we will discover the secret to obtaining more of what we really need and what we truly desire.
Discover how to conquer your fear of losing what you have and to have and be more than you ever imagined.
