What was it like to be raised Wiccan? How do practices of the occult indicate the existence of a supernatural reality? What are the flaws in the occult and New Age philosophies and how is Jesus the answer to our deep longing for the unseen? Today I sit down with Nora Jensen, a former Wiccan who looked down on Christians. She shares her supernatural experiences while practicing spells with her parents, which left her with a lingering sense of caution and doubt about her childhood beliefs, ultimately leading her to convert to the Catholic faith. She discusses a mystical experience of receiving God's love during the exchange of peace at Mass and how it changed her life forever. Help support the show by joining our Locals community!

What was it like to be a close personal friend of Mother Teresa? How did she handle a demanding schedule while still giving genuine attention to every person she encountered?

What are the non-negotiable factors for Christians to consider when voting? Do we have a moral responsibility to participate in political activism? How are Christians meant to interface with earthly government authorities? In this election, many are dissatisfied with both candidates for President due to their hardline positions related to abortion. What are we as the faithful to do when confronted with two evil, non-ideal options? Today, I sit down with Fr Ambrose Criste of St Michael's Abbey to answer this and other questions as we discuss all things politics from a Christian point of view. -5 Things Every Catholic Should Know About Politics: https://theabbotscircle.com/five-things-politics-edition-watch Help support the show by joining our Locals community!

After receiving a heartbreaking diagnosis for their unborn daughter Grace, Andy and his wife fought against a corrupt healthcare system determined to push them toward abortion. This experience, along with other personal challenges, led them to create Crowd Health—a company focused on fixing the broken healthcare system. Every year, hundreds of thousands are driven into bankruptcy, and many are pressured to fund abortions and other immoral procedures. Crowd Health is on a mission to change this, making healthcare ethical, accessible, and driven by Christian charity.

We unpack the heated abortion clash and lies from the Vance-Walz VP debate. It's tragic to watch our leaders, both Democrat and Republican abandon their responsibility to protect the most vulnerable among us—preborn children.

I will unpack last night's debate and address this critical issue today at 4:30 ET. It's time we demand real courage and leadership that fights for every human life.

Pope Francis stirred up significant controversy recently by saying that "all religions are paths to reach God." Is Pope Francis undermining the Biblical truth that Jesus is the only path to salvation? Many Catholic influencers were quick to pick up the torches and pitchforks and proclaim heresy. Today I sit down with the one-of-a-kind Catholic apologist, Jimmy Akin. We discuss what the Pope’s comments were, how to interpret them, and why Pope Francis’ pastoral approach is so often mischaracterized. Jimmy sheds light on what the Bible has to say about the means to salvation and whether or not it is necessary to be a baptized Christian. We wrap up with a frank discussion about what it takes to evangelize those close to us and tips to be more successful in interfaith dialog. Join us for this important conversation today!

I am responding to Kamala Harris' pro-abortion lies from her speech in Atlanta minutes ago where she exploits the tragic death of Amber Thurman to push a pro-abortion agenda. Kamala claims that pro-life laws are responsible for Amber’s death, but the truth tells a very different story. Harris falsely asserts that "under the Trump abortion ban, Amber’s doctors could have faced up to a decade in prison for providing her the care she needed."
