"Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope"- 1 Peter 3:15
I was dismayed to learn that my state (Wisconsin) plans to do away with the statewide mask mandate. I urge my fellow Christians to consider the advice of health officials when it comes to mask-wearing. Wearing a mask is an act of Christian charity. Let’s begin with our lives as Christians living in a secularized …
I think one of the big questions in our society is whether or not you can be a good person without God (or religion). Though this is often phrased as a yes or no question, the answer is much more complex. Trent Horn touches on this topic in his book God from the 20 Answers …
The summer between my freshman and sophomore year of college, one of my co-workers would frequently ask me questions about Catholicism. Though raised Catholic, he made the personal decision to convert to Islam. I’ll be honest: I dreaded those questions. This co-worker wasn’t a very friendly person to begin with, and his questions were often …
It always surprises me when people are shocked that I tell them I believe Catholicism is the only religion where we can get the fullness of the Truth. Instead of arguing about the validity of the belief that the Catholic Church is true, they are shocked that I would make such a bold statement about …
Lately, I’ve been feeling a pull (more like a shove) to read Scripture more. Fortunately, I was coincidentally (or perhaps, God-incidentally) given the opportunity to read Ignite: Read the Bible Like Never Before by Deacon Harold Burkes-Sivers and Sonja Corbitt. I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. …

One of the many, many things I love about the Catholic faith is how reasonable it is. Simply put, Catholicism makes sense. With these interests, …
I’m not sure if this has always been the case or if I am more in-tune to it now that I am an adult, but it appears that the prevailing attitude in society is that if you don’t agree with someone’s choices, you hate them. This is a harmful attitude that distorts both truth and …
If you’re here to actually win arguments, I have bad news: there is no winning. Though social media is a phenomenal tool for communication, it is still not ideal for having conversations that will cause someone to completely change their stance. This is difficult enough face-to-face, but it is nearly impossible online. Furthermore, our goal …
Obviously, praying a Breviary was not a part of my spiritual life growing up. When I was in my last semester of college, I attended a retreat where we prayed the Breviary, and it just wasn’t my thing. I could give the reasons I don’t enjoy praying from it, but that isn’t why I’m writing …
“You’ve heard it said, “All religions are equal.” But is it true?” This question intrigued me. It was one that seemed incredibly prevalent to our current time, and I was very excited to read it. I received this book free from Moody Publishers in exchange for my honest review. Overview Christ Among Other Gods by …
