Episode notes
Don’t Bank On Miracles To Win Atheists
- Prioritize evangelization and core mission over funding exhaustive scientific miracle investigations.
- Accept that scientific proof of the supernatural is impossible and resources are better used for teaching and charity.
Incarnation Changes How Persons Relate
- The Trinity is eternal while Christ's human nature has a historical origin at the Incarnation.
- Dialogue occurs between the incarnate Jesus and the Father, but not as discursive speech within the eternal Trinity.
Sanctity Is Practicable, Not Impossible
- Follow the same path to sanctity: die to self, take up your cross, love God and neighbor.
- Use canonized saints as models to show holiness is attainable with God's grace.
