"Dear Doubting Thomas,..." Part 1: Is the Catholic Church for Real? (#469b)

Thomas wrote with a question that sits underneath almost everything else: Can the Catholic Church really be trusted with its extraordinary claims? In this first episode of the series, Greg responds personally and honestly to that foundational doubt. Drawing from his own long journey out of self-selected Christianity and into the Church, he explores why there’s no comfortable middle ground, why the visible imperfections of the Church can feel like cold water on genuine inspiration, and what finally led him to make the deliberate choice to trust the Barque of Peter anyway. If you’ve ever felt the tension between the beauty that draws you toward Catholicism and the very human failures that make you hesitate, this conversation is for you.
