Get ready to embark on a journey where faith and fiction intertwine. This episode features a captivating conversation with Andrew, a Catholic sci-fi author whose conversion story from Protestantism to agnosticism and finally settling in Catholicism is sure to leave you riveted. He generously shares how his mother's battle with brain cancer influenced his faith evolution, his admiration for Pope John Paul II, and how he found solace in his new church home.

But wait, there's more! We wrap up our chat by exploring Catholic themes in popular movies. We discuss everything from The Mission to The Lord of the Rings, highlighting how these films subtly introduce deeper thoughts and engage viewers in profound conversation. We also touch upon timely Catholic news, such as the upcoming 2023 Parliament of the World's Religions, and raise our concerns about ecumenism in the Catholic Church. This is one conversation you won't want to miss!
