Yes Virginia, There is a Purgatory! NNC Podcast 21 08.20.2025
https://youtu.be/boIY9jk6hOE
Christians generally agree that after death we will face judgment, and consequently spend eternity with God in HEAVEN, or eternally SEPARATED from him in hell. But while faithful Christians (Protestant and Catholic alike) take heaven and hell as given, the question arises: what about purgatory? Where is purgatory in the Bible? Does the Catholic Church still teach purgatory or did that “go out with Vatican II?”

Why Should I Defend My Faith? NNC Podcast 20 08.01.2025
https://youtu.be/fS8utSbfRFE
The practice of Biblical apologetics is vital for Catholics in defending and sharing the Faith. But even more fundamentally, Biblical apologetics is essential for keeping the Faith. A deeper, Biblical understanding of Catholicism not only fosters spiritual growth but builds up resilience against doubts and challenges.

Where Did the “Good Thief” Go? NNC Podcast 19 07.15.2025
https://youtu.be/5EuhlGuc2Ls
My last video (NNC Podcast 18: What did Jesus Really Say about Being "Born Again") exposed the biblical evidence for the necessity of Baptism. This prompted a number of comments from our "separated brethren" challenging the historical Christian understanding of being “born from above of water and the Spirit” (John 3:5). Several commentors asked “What about the Good Thief?” Others condemned infant baptism as "unbiblical." This podcast answers these objections as well as revealing the Old Testament types and figures of Baptism and the distinction between baptism and "the laying on of hands.".

What Jesus Really Said About Being “Born Again” NNC Podcast 18 06.30.2025
https://youtu.be/9m3B-3el4zQ
Once upon a time it was de rigueur for Fundamentalist door-to-door evangelists to open with the question, “Have you been born again?” But it is a simple fact of history that the term “born-again Christian” only became common in the 1970s. But, despite its relative novelty in the 2000 year history of the church, being “born again” is an allusion to Scripture. The question is: What was Jesus really talking about in John 3:3-5?

Good information about the Catholic faith is more readily available today than ever before. Yet, there is still widespread confusion about Catholic belief and practice. Officially, it is the job of the Catholic bishops to clear up such confusion. But in the current reality, lay Catholics need to take it upon themselves to know, share, and defend their faith.Every week Catholic author and speaker Matthew Arnold gives clear and simple witness to the Catholic Faith without obscuring, complicating, or watering down the exclusive claims of Christ and His Church.Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ said, “I am the way and the truth and the life… and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 14.6; 8.32). And that is no nonsense.
