In this first episode of a three-part series, Winston walks through his three favorite arguments for the existence of God: the contingency argument, the Kalam cosmological argument, and the fine-tuning argument.

Rather than starting with Christianity specifically, this episode takes a step back and asks a more fundamental question: Is there something beyond the material universe? Winston explains why he thinks the existence of contingent things points to a necessary reality, why the beginning of the universe points to a cause beyond the universe, and why the precise conditions necessary for life raise questions about design.

These arguments don't by themselves prove Christianity or Catholicism, but they provide a philosophical foundation for believing that reality extends beyond the material world. In the next two episodes, Winston will build on these arguments and explore where the evidence leads from there.

What did Jesus intend His Church to look like? In this episode, we examine the only two times Jesus explicitly mentions the Church in the Gospels, both found in Matthew 16 and Matthew 18. From these passages, we explore what Jesus tells us about the Church’s leadership, authority, visible membership, discipline, and ability to teach and resolve disputes. We also look at Jesus’ promise that the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church and what that means for the Church throughout history. Finally, we ask an important question: if Jesus founded a Church, where is that Church today?

This episode explores what may be the most important Catholic doctrine for Protestants to seriously consider: the Eucharist. While Catholics and Protestants share core Christian beliefs about God, Jesus, and salvation, this is a uniquely Catholic claim with extremely high stakes on both sides. If the Eucharist truly is the body and blood of Jesus Christ, as the Catholic Church teaches, then it represents the most intimate way to encounter Him and something every Christian should seek. But if it is not true, then it raises serious concerns about worshiping what would be, in that case, only bread and wine. This episode lays out the logic, the historical weight behind the belief, and why this is not a doctrine that can be ignored, but one that deserves real attention and urgency.

In this episode, Winston explains what happens during a typical Sunday Catholic Mass and why it happens. He walks through the structure of the Mass, from the introductory rites and Scripture readings in the Liturgy of the Word to the homily, creed, and prayers, before focusing on the heart of the Mass, the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Drawing on biblical foundations, he explains how worship has always centered on sacrifice, culminating in Jesus Christ’s one perfect and eternal sacrifice on the cross. He unpacks the Catholic belief in the Eucharist, where the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ, making that same sacrifice present, not repeated, and offered to the Father. The episode also highlights the meaning of receiving Communion as true union with Christ and concludes with the mission to go forth transformed by grace, helping listeners better understand the depth and purpose of the Mass.

In this episode, I continue the conversation that followed my discussion on why Sola Scriptura ultimately did not hold up for me and why that realization led me into the Catholic Church. After several thoughtful conversations and questions from listeners, I take on the natural follow up question. If it is not Scripture alone, then what is the system Christ actually established for knowing what to believe?

We go back to the very beginning of Christianity, before the New Testament existed, to look at how the first Christians learned the faith. By examining Christ’s commissioning of the apostles, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the authority given to the Church to teach, bind, and guard the truth, we see a model rooted in apostolic authority, succession, Scripture, and Tradition working together.

I also address a common and serious objection. If the Catholic Church claims infallibility, how can it account for scandals, abuses, and sinful leaders throughout history? This leads to an important distinction between infallible teachings and the moral failures of fallible men, and why one does not negate the other.

Finally, I reflect on why remaining in the Church Christ founded matters, not just intellectually, but spiritually. It is about unity, holiness, intimacy with Christ, and ultimately salvation.

In this episode, Winston explores the Christian doctrine of Sola Scriptura, the belief that Scripture alone is the only infallible authority for Christian faith. Drawing from personal experience and Church history, he explains what Sola Scriptura actually means, what it does not mean, and why many Christians assume it without ever examining it closely.

Winston offers three key reasons why Sola Scriptura ultimately falls short. First, it is not taught in Scripture itself. Second, it cannot account for how the biblical canon was formed. Third, it has led to widespread division rather than unity within Christianity. By looking at early Christian beliefs, the role of the Church, and the historical development of the Bible, this episode invites listeners to rethink the idea of Scripture alone and consider the Catholic understanding of Scripture and authoritative interpretation.

Whether you are Catholic, Protestant, or simply curious, this episode aims to challenge assumptions and encourage deeper reflection on how Christians know what they believe and why.

In this episode, Winston tackles a common and important question: Why be Catholic? Exploring the Christian desire for unity and objective truth, the episode centers on one key idea - apostolicity. Winston explains how the Catholic Church today is the same Church founded by Jesus on the apostles, preserving the same mission, teachings, and authority for over 2,000 years.

Through the lens of apostolic authority, truth, and unity, the episode shows how the Catholic Church provides a living teaching authority, safeguarded by the Holy Spirit, that maintains doctrinal truth and visible unity among believers. Drawing from Scripture and early Church history, Winston argues that this apostolic foundation leads to the fullness of Christianity - offering the sacraments, unity with Christ, and a deeper intimacy with Him.

Whether you’re Catholic, Protestant, or simply curious, this episode invites you to consider how authority, truth, and unity fit into Christ’s plan for His Church - and why apostolicity matters.

In this episode, Winston tackles the big question: Is the Catholic Church infallible? Building on the previous episode (“When Did the Catholic Church Begin?”), he breaks down what “infallible” really means—both in general and in the context of Church teaching. Winston explains how the Church’s claim to infallibility applies only to official teachings on faith and morals, not to every word spoken by popes or bishops.

He dives into the biblical foundations for this belief, exploring Jesus’ words to Peter (“whatever you bind on earth…”) and the promise of the Holy Spirit guiding the Church “into all truth.” Winston also unpacks the relationship between Scripture and the Church—how the Church, through divine guidance, discerned which writings belong in the Bible—and addresses the common objection that the Catholic claim to infallibility is “circular reasoning.”

Ultimately, he shows that both Protestants and Catholics rely on faith in God’s guidance, but that the Catholic understanding best fits the historical and biblical evidence of Christ establishing a Church protected from error.
