009: How the Saints Can Help Us Be Holy (w/ JonMarc Grodi)

1 Listener
In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I speak talk to JonMarc Grodi from the Coming Home Network International about the role that saints can play in the life of a Christian.
JonMarc unpacks the role of saints as examples of God's grace and holiness, how we can have real relationships with saints, and gives an incredible analogy of what worship is not. We tackle some common Protestant objections to saints to help explain the importance of their role in the Catholic faith. You don't want to skip this episode – it's fantastic!

008: Out of Islam and Into the Catholic Church (w/ Dr. Derya Little)
In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I speak with Derya Little. Derya grew up in as a Muslim in Turkey. After a life-shattering experience she became an avowed Atheist but through a series of personal encounters and a powerful mystical experience, she found her way into Christianity and ultimately into the Catholic Church.
She shares her incredible story with us, and provides some helpful context for how we can share our Catholic faith with Muslim family, friends, and colleagues.
Check out Derya's website – where you can purchase her book – and her fantastic podcast, Live a Little.
Some of the materials mentioned in this episode include:
- Thomas Aquinas. On the Reasons of the Faith against the Saracens, Greeks and Armenians, to the Cantor of Antioch.
- David Pinault. The Crucifix on Mecca's Front Porch.

010: The Shroud of Turin – Everything You Need to Know! (w/ Dr. Cheryl White)
In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Cheryl White, a historian with 30 years of experience studying the incredible Shroud of Turin – the supposed burial cloth of Jesus!
Dr. White unpacks the incredible history and origins of the Shroud, it's seemingly miraculous qualities, and the unbelievable amount of scientific research which has gone into making the Shroud the "most studied object in history." We also discuss the impact of the Shroud on our Christian faith.
This was such an intriguing interview and, as Dr. White says, the more you learn about the Shroud of Turin the deeper you'll be drawn into its mystery.
