Honest To God

<p>Being a dad can be challenging - for starters, you have to deal with a new human being that you helped create, and also you’re partly responsible for making them into a functioning member of society. But add on top of that the persecution that also comes from being a Catholic and a dad at the same time! Now that’s a challenge! But with a few pieces of advice it might be able to be made a bit easier. So join John Henry and a fellow Catholic dad as they talk about all that they’re doing to overcome those challenges. All this and more, on Honest to God!</p> <hr /> <h3 id="guests-socials">Guests Socials</h3> <ul> <li>Producer Ben: <a href="https://beenbarron.com">Website</a></li> </ul>

<p>Josh does comedy for a living. Yet his conversion story is anything but comedy. Despite not being raised in the faith, addictions to drugs, lusting, and lack of focus in school, he has both converted and is now living a life of doing stand-up comedy. Josh tells us his history from reaching rock bottom to how he got out of it to where he is today.</p> <h3 id="stuff-mentioned">Stuff Mentioned</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.joshuasgiants.com/">Joshua’s Giants</a></li> <li><a href="https://funnyjosh.com/">Funny Josh</a></li> </ul> <hr /> <h3 id="guests-socials">Guests Socials</h3> <ul> <li>Producer Ben: <a href="https://beenbarron.com">Website</a></li> <li>Josh: @funnyjoshharris</li> </ul>

<p>Stand-up specials are in no short supply on Netflix and elsewhere. Yet much of the comedy popular can be somewhat vulgar. Josh Harris is a Catholic convert who also does Christian comedy.

<p>If you’ve ever taken a history class you’ve probably heard one story or another about Catholics involvement in historical events. But you might have gotten the wrong story. There are plenty of bad actors that want to distort the truth so it’s hard to look objectively at what’s what. But listen to a few of our panelists discuss what the truth really is, and where you might have been led astray. This and so much more… on Honest To God.</p> <hr /> <h3 id="guests-socials">Guests Socials</h3> <ul> <li>Producer Ben: <a href="https://beenbarron.com">Website</a></li> </ul>

<p>While many Catholics know about St. Maximilian Kolbe offering his life in place of another man at Auschwitz, not as many know his full backstory, specifically what he did in the months leading up to that moment while in a jail cell with nine other prisoners. Members of the crew of the upcoming movie Triumph of the Heart give an inside look into how the movie was made, what its director entailed for both the actors and crew to do, and how you can help support this movie so it can be released.</p> <h3 id="stuff-mentioned">Stuff Mentioned</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.triumphoftheheart.com/">Triumph of the Heart Website</a></li> </ul> <hr /> <h3 id="guests-socials">Guests Socials</h3> <ul> <li>Producer Ben: <a href="https://beenbarron.com">Website</a></li> </ul>

<p>Katy grew up bouncing around between different denominations.</p> <p><br /> When she went off to college though, life got rough and she felt lonely. Then she came across Campus Catholic Ministries and while it started her conversion, she had a lot of questions on the Eucharist which when she wanted to become initiated she soon felt a physical pain. Why would that be?</p> <hr /> <h3 id="guests-socials">Guests Socials</h3> <ul> <li>Producer Ben: <a href="https://beenbarron.com">Website</a></li> </ul>

<p>There are plenty of conferences of other denominations that take place in large convention centers.</p> <p><br /> Catholics actually have one too, put on by FOCUS Missions the first week in January: SEEK. Four college students from Kennesaw State University stop by to explain what the conference is, what it entails, the highs (and lows), and why go.</p> <hr /> <h3 id="guests-socials">Guests Socials</h3> <ul> <li>Producer Ben: <a href="https://beenbarron.com">Website</a></li> <li>LifeTeen: @lifeteen</li> </ul>

<p>It’s more important than ever for the Church to try and retain youth with more and more preferring to have no religious affiliation. This is done through youth ministry but even that can be a challenge, especially with technology being such a big distraction. In 2024, what is the best way to get teens to not only come to events but to keep coming and get something out of it so they stay with the faith once they graduate high school? Many parishes use LifeTeen for their Youth Ministry and we have missionaries from there to explain what works and does not work in youth ministry.</p> <h3 id="resources">Resources</h3> <ul> <li>Lifeteen.com <a href="https://lifeteen.com/missions/apply-now/">Apply for Missions</a></li> </ul> <hr /> <h3 id="guests-socials">Guests Socials</h3> <ul> <li>Producer Ben: <a href="https://beenbarron.com">Website</a></li> <li>LifeTeen: @lifeteen</li> </ul>

<p>Just as there is the rule of St. Benedict that followers of his live by, LifeTeen missionaries have one too.</p> <p><br /> But what is it exactly and how do they utilize it? What are its benefits and its challenges? LifeTeen missionaries come by to explain the what, how, and why of their Rule of Life and what it entails.</p> <hr /> <h3 id="guests-socials">Guests Socials</h3> <ul> <li>Producer Ben: <a href="https://beenbarron.com">Website</a></li> <li>LifeTeen: @lifeteen</li> </ul>

<p>Just as there are multiple Lord of the Rings movies there also are multiple HTG episodes on it!</p> <p>In this second episode of the series, we delve into questions such as why read the book, could there be another mythology series like that today, and is there reason why perhaps one shouldn’t let their kids read it because it’s like Harry Potter in that it promotes magic?</p> <h3 id="stuff-mentioned">Stuff Mentioned</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Dragons-Honor-Thieves-Druids-ebook/dp/B0B1WF8BZF">A Druid’s Tale (Dungeons and Dragons)</a></li> <li>The voice of an author comes from the editing, not the writing” – Greg Wilts</li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Silmarillion-J-R-R-Tolkien/dp/0345325818">The Silmarillion: The legendary precursor to The Lord of the Rings</a></li> </ul> <hr /> <h3 id="guests-socials">Guests Socials</h3> <ul> <li>Producer Ben: <a href="https://beenbarron.com">Website</a></li> </ul>

<p>In today’s landscape of film and TV, it can seem like there’s someone out there bent on destroying it all for seemingly no gain, with beloved franchises and classic fairy tales falling by the wayside with lackluster films being made.

On today’s episode of HTG, we dive into the possibility of that evil being not just a corrupt businessman, but the source of Evil itself.</p> <hr /> <p>Guests Socials:</p> <ul> <li>Producer Ben: <a href="https://beenbarron.com">Website</a></li> <li>Allison: @allisonhuber</li> <li>Mary: @m.e.huber</li> </ul>

<p>It’s no secret making friends as a young adult is hard. In high school, you’re forced to be around people 8 hours a day. If you go to college you’re forced to live with people and are still in a bubble where there are countless organizations to get involved in. But if you don’t go to college or recently graduated from there, it’s tough. Where do you start? City on Purpose takes the work out of it for you in Atlanta to find events, roommates, and more.

This falls right into his plan, as his biggest weapon is deception, making you think he’s not real and it’s just superstition.

<p>When we think of aliens we think of green creatures with large heads and black eyes and antennas who want to destroy us all. This however is an idea put together by the government during the Cold War to avoid having the Soviet Union use that fear to their advantage. So, what are we to believe then, and if there are aliens out there, as Catholics, how should we view them? And what about UFOs? We delve into this and more with special guest Dr. Paul Thigpen who’s written a book on this exact topic and who himself has seen a UFO.</p> <hr /> <p>Check out our parent network: <a href="https://thequestatlanta.com">The Quest Atlanta</a></p> <ul> <li>Listen on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3rVcw6wX03ezNwowTeE6wf">Spotify</a></li> <li>Listen on The Quest app: <ul> <li><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jacapps.quest">Android</a></li> <li><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quest-atlanta/id1468346042">Apple</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>Follow us on Instagram: <ul> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/honest2god_ya/">@honest2god_ya</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <hr /> <p>Guests Socials:</p> <ul> <li>Producer Ben: <a href="https://beenbarron.com">Website</a></li> <li>Dr. Paul: <a href="https://shorturl.at/giQX3">Book about Aliens</a></li> </ul>

<p>Today’s culture makes it harder than ever to be Catholic.</p> <p><br /> There are so many different choices out there, many of which go against what Catholics say and often what society says is ok. So why be Catholic? The Church certainly has not had a pristine history and many other denominations bring up interesting arguments that certainly make you think. We delve into how our panelists became Catholic, many of whom are cradle Catholics but did not truly come into their faith until much later, and why they chose to stay Catholic once they are old enough to choose instead of going off to another.</p> <h3 id="stuff-mentioned">Stuff Mentioned</h3> <ul> <li>Theistic apologetics episode of HTG</li> <li>The Didache – dates to the time of the apostles, the first example of Church Orders.</li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Rome-Sweet-Home-Journey-Catholicism/dp/0898704782"><em>Rome Sweet Home</em></a> – Scott Hahn.</li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Why-Were-Catholic-Reasons-Faith/dp/1683570243"><em>Why We’re Catholic</em></a> – Trent Horn</li> <li><a href="https://www.biblechristiansociety.com/">Bible Christian Society</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/catechism/catechism-of-the-catholic-church">The Catechism of the Catholic Church</a></li> <li><a href="https://gregandjennifer.com/">The school of Mary podcast</a> by Greg and Jennifer Willits</li> <li><a href="https://www.gospeltruth.net/unashamed.htm">The Fellowship of the Unashamed poem</a></li> </ul> <hr /> <p>Check out our parent network: <a href="https://thequestatlanta.com">The Quest Atlanta</a></p> <ul> <li>Listen on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3rVcw6wX03ezNwowTeE6wf">Spotify</a></li> <li>Listen on The Quest app: <ul> <li><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jacapps.quest">Android</a></li> <li><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quest-atlanta/id1468346042">Apple</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>Follow us on Instagram: <ul> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/honest2god_ya/">@honest2god_ya</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <hr /> <p>Guests Socials:</p> <ul> <li>Producer Ben: <a href="https://beenbarron.com">Website</a></li> </ul>

<p>One of life’s greatest gifts is music.</p> <p><br /> Many feel like, to quote a Beach Boys song, “music is in my soul.” Yet what some call music, others do not. Some music can be vulgar or not used at the right time. Does the Church say anything about music? What if I like a song that I know is bad but it has such a great rhythm? Or what if the music at Mass is just not doing it for me?

<p>It’s no secret the Catholic Church’s stance on birth control.</p> <p><br /> But since the 1960s it has become increasingly harder to stay with the Church’s beliefs on it when so much of the culture around us says it’s fine to use artificial birth control. Some even argue that NFP is just the Church’s version of birth control. Two panelists who practice NFP with their spouses explain how NFP is done, why they do it, the science behind it, and why it’s not just another version of birth control.</p> <h3 id="stuff-mentioned">Stuff Mentioned:</h3> <ul> <li>Contraception, Why Not – talk by Dr. Janet Smith</li> <li><a href="https://femmhealth.org">https://femmhealth.org</a></li> <li><em>Just Married: The Catholic Guide to Surviving and Thriving in the First Five Years of Marriage</em> - Greg and Lisa Popcak</li> <li><em>Holy Sex!: A Catholic Guide to Toe-Curling, Mind-Blowing, Infallible Loving</em> – Dr. Greg Popcak</li> <li><em>Good News About Sex & Marriage (Revised Edition): Answers to Your Honest Questions about Catholic Teaching</em> – Christopher West</li> <li>Archdiocese of Atlanta <a href="https://archatl.com/ministries-services/marriage-family-ministry/natural-family-planning/nfp-instructors/">approved NFP teachers</a></li> <li><em>Methods</em>: Marquette, Femm Method, Creighton</li> </ul> <hr /> <p>Check out our parent network: <a href="https://thequestatlanta.com">The Quest Atlanta</a></p> <ul> <li>Listen on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3rVcw6wX03ezNwowTeE6wf">Spotify</a></li> <li>Listen on The Quest app: <ul> <li><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jacapps.quest">Android</a></li> <li><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quest-atlanta/id1468346042">Apple</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>Follow us on Instagram: <ul> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/honest2god_ya/">@honest2god_ya</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <hr /> <p>Guests Socials:</p> <ul> <li>Producer Ben: <a href="https://beenbarron.com">Website</a></li> </ul>

<p>The biggest question a high schooler faces today has become not if they go to college, but where they will go to college. This however is not the way it should be approached, as there are both pros and cons to attending college after high school. Is that sheet of paper you get at the end worth it? What if I decide halfway through college I need to do a reset? And what about keeping the faith, something many colleges are known for not exactly being like youth groups.

<p>Environmental Sustainability is most common in the secular world nowadays.</p> <p><br /> But the way they seem to think we should go about it is by completely removing ourselves from the planet as much as we can. But what they don’t realize is that God put us on this planet to actually be one with it. And on today’s episode of HTG, we discuss how we as Catholics can go about being good with the planet we’ve been given. Whether that’s by buying local and eating healthy. or it’s living off the land and growing our own food.

<p>We have a panel that consists of people with and without tattoos.</p> <p><br /> Since the Catechism does not talk about tattoos, only on bodily mutilation, it’s up to us to decide if we are yea or nay on them. We look into the arguments both for and against. Our bodies are a temple and we are made in the image and likeness of God.

<p>It is known the media often pokes fun at Catholicism and portrays it in a negative way, like nuns being mean.</p> <p><br /> This is true and there are examples of it we discuss. However, in looking at the overall picture, it does not appear to be as bad as you think. Looking at major movies, there actually are a good number of instances where movies match up with Catholic teaching in underlying ways and show characters seeing the Church as an essential and important party.
