There and Back Again: How Scripture & History Brought an Ex-Catholic Home (Steven Alspach) | Ep. 33
Episode 33
CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM
In this episode, we interview co-host of The Catholic Brothers podcast, Steven Alspach. Steven grew up Catholic, but fell away from the faith into Protestantism. However, he quickly realized things weren't adding up. Over the next decade or so, despite his attempts to avoid going back to the Catholic Church, his study of Scripture and Church history made him realize the Catholic Church was in fact the Church established by Christ Himself.
Steven Alspach holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from Purdue University and a Masters in Theological Studies degree from the Early Christian Studies department at Wheaton College. After 15 years in various forms of Protestantism he came back to the faith of his childhood in the Catholic Church.
He was the Project Coordinator for the Ancient Faith Study Bible, published through Holman Bible Publishers, author of the book “Prophets and Councils: Montanism and the Church of Carthage,” is currently writing an article on the historical development of icon veneration for Catholic Quill, and is the co-host of The Catholic Brothers podcast and its popular First 500 Years Series.
