(Feast of St. Frumentius – October 27)

Okay, full disclosure: this episode might get me disinvited from a few family dinners.

I mean, I’m asking the question you’re not supposed to ask out loud — Could Catholicism actually be…the one true faith? Yeah. That one. The question that makes your Protestant uncle suddenly remember he left something in the car.

But stick with me. I’m not here to argue or recruit. I’m here to tell a story — mine, yours, ours — the story of a God who somehow keeps turning chaos into calling and doubters into disciples.

We’ll start with St. Frumentius — the guy who literally got shipwrecked, enslaved, and still managed to evangelize an entire country. Because apparently, grace likes a good plot twist.

Along the way, I’ll talk about what makes Catholicism so weirdly wonderful — the beauty, the logic, the laughter — and how the Church has survived two thousand years of human dysfunction and bad music. Spoiler: it’s not because we’re great; it’s because God doesn’t give up.

If you’ve ever looked at religion and thought, “Yeah, hard pass,” or wondered why anyone would still kneel in 2025 — this episode is for you.

It’s not about proving who’s right. It’s about finding home — the kind of home that still leaves a light on for you, no matter how far you’ve wandered.

So pull up a chair, grab your coffee (or your courage), and let’s talk about faith, reason, and the hilariously human mess that God somehow calls His Church.

Because maybe — just maybe — the one true faith isn’t about being perfect.
Maybe it’s about being found.
