Logos Podcast

In this episode of Logos Podcast, we welcome Dr. Michael Barber, Professor of Sacred Scripture and Theology at the Augustine Institute, to discuss one of the most foundational questions of the Christian faith: What is salvation?Dr. Barber draws on his extensive theological and biblical expertise to guide us through the Catholic understanding of salvation—clarifying what it is, what it is not, and why it remains central to the life of every Christian. Together, we explore misconceptions such as salvation as mere self-help, legal exchange, or private experience, and instead highlight the Church’s teaching on grace, discipleship, the sacraments, and the call to ongoing conversion.Support the show

Why does the Cross, a symbol of suffering and death, stand at the center of the Catholic faith? In this episode of Logos Podcast, we explore the power of the Cross through Catholic theology and philosophy. From St. Paul’s bold claim that “we preach Christ crucified” to the insights of St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Anselm to Pope Benedict XVI, we uncover how the Cross reveals the deepest truths about love, justice, sacrifice, and redemption. Whether you’re seeking spiritual insight or philosophical depth, this episode will challenge you to see the Cross not as defeat, but as divine wisdom and ultimate victory.Timecode:0:00 - Life update7:00 - Context of the Cross11:00 - The Foolish King21:40 - Death is Life29:10 - Why the Cross?37:05 - The Pattern of the Cross48:00 - Experiences with The Cross52:00 - The Tree of LifeSupport the show
