This week we speak with the Director of Catholic Answers, Tim Staples about his personal journey, combined with the Art of Apologetics to prove that the catholic Faith is the true religion of God on earth and the actual Church established by Jesus Christ himself. Tim was a former Baptist and Assemblies of God Pastor after his Catholic friend in the United States Marines challenged him , which set him on a journey which led him to cross the tiber to the faith. Tim was the man who initially inspired George Manassa the host and founder of this show to study his way into the faith, so this episode has some sentimental significance. -- SUBSCRIBE to our weekly Alert and Newsletter: www.thecatholictoolboxshow.com Get your copy of "The Art of Practical Catholicism" by George Manassa: store.parousiamedia.com/the-art-of-practical-catholicism-your-faith-guide-george-manassa-paperback/  Make your purchase at our online store:  spreadshirt.com/the-catholic-toolbox/ Book George Manassa to speak at your parish or event now: www.parousiamedia.com/george-manassa/    - Platforms: Television Host - TV Maria: tvmaria.ph  Radio Host - Voice of Charity Australia (1701AM):  www.voc.org.au    ONLINE Radio Host - Cradio Online Radio: www.cradio.org.au    Partner - Parousia Media: www.parousiamedia.com Men’s Podcast  - The Rite of Manhood Podcast: theriteofmanhood.com  Partner - EWTN Asia Pacific www.ewtnasiapacific.com Guest Link: www.catholic.com     -   DISCLAIMER   This Episode does not count as Medical, Psychological or professional advice.
