Sunday School: 10 More Questions (and Answers) on Catholicism with Eric Robinson
Continuing from last week, Pat and Eric continuing answer common questions (and objections) to the Catholic faith -- everything from Adam to Eve, Marian dogma, praying to saints, and more -- in response too the recent conversation between Cameron Bertuzzi and Matt Fradd. ... The 10 Questions 1. Biblically speaking, where do we find any evidence of the saint assuming the role of praying for us? Isn't that Christ's role as High Priest? 2. Where did Jesus go between his death on the cross and his resurrection? 3. Adam and Eve, real or metaphor? 4. Are Faith and Reason compatible? 5. How do you reconcile Romans 3:23, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," with the Roman Catholic belief that Mary had no sin, not even original sin? 6. If Church Tradition is not good enough evidence, but the Bible is, wouldn't that be a contradiction since the Bible is actually Tradition? 7. Do Catholics put more emphasis on having deceased Popes pray for them rather than the general public? 8. Can you explain "Theotokos"? 9. Why is Mary referred to as the Virgin Mary now? Didn't she have sexual relations with her husband? 10. Is it possible to do the work of Christ without understanding all of this?

Bonus: On the Intersection of Faith and Fitness with Jared Zimmerer
Pat is joined by Jared Zimmerer (who has degrees in both kinesiology and theology) to discuss the intersection of faith and fitness. Specifically, they discuss the spiritual state of the fitness industry and why many people who get into fitness often long for more. Can all of life's problems be solved by deadlifts? Can a low body fat percentage satisfy the soul's upward yearning? Or is something missing? On the flip side, how does fitness incorporate into a life of faith? How can being physically active enhance our spiritual life? How does the Catholic view of the body and soul make sense of this? ...

Philosophy Friday: The Philosophy of God's Love with Dr. Gaven Kerr
What does it mean to say that God is good, or that God is love? Furthermore, can we really know that God loves *us* -- you, me, specifically?! Dr. Gaven Kerr is back on the Pat Flynn show to offer a philosopher exploration of God's goodness and love. Can we know (apart from revelation) that God is wholly good and unconditionally loving? If so, what are the implications of this? Further, how does the "God of the philosopher" correspond with "The God of the Bible?" ...
