What it Takes to Be Catholic | Scott Hahn w/ Jeremiah Bannister

In this episode of The Road to Emmaus, Scott Hahn is joined by Jeremiah Bannister, host of The Paleocrat Diaries and author of the book She Danced Me a Story. Jeremiah shares his wild spiritual and theological journey, giving us an intimate glimpse into his return home into the arms of our heavenly Father. In their conversation, you’ll discover: why Catholicism is the “irresistible conclusion” to the search for the “pure Church,” how a child’s persistent questioning forced him to grapple with the question of God, and the real social, psychological, and emotional cost of becoming Catholic. Through Jeremiah's story, you’ll see how God, in His providence, directs the story of your own life. 0:00:00 Introduction 0:06:25 Intellectual Journey & Shared Heroes 0:10:37 God's Sovereignty in Hardships 0:16:47 Least Likely to Convert 0:19:47 The Great Apologetics Debate 0:28:16 Catholicism: The Irresistible Conclusion 0:35:33 The Cost of Conversion 0:42:14 The Search for the “Pure Church” 0:46:54 "Welcome Home, Prodigal Son" 0:53:41 “What If You’re Wrong...” 0:59:09 God's Script for Your Life 1:06:22 Conclusion ✨ Get the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible for FREE ➡️ https://stpaulcenter.com/memberships ___ Other ways to grow with the St. Paul Center: ⛪️ If you're a Priest looking to attend one of our annual Priest Conferences: https://stpaulcenter.co/priestconferences 📖 Start a Bible study with the St. Paul Center: https://stpaulcenter.co/biblestudies ✈️ Go on a pilgrimage with us: https://stpaulcenter.co/pilgrimages 🛒 Browse our bookstore: https://stpaulcenter.co/emmausroadpublishing 🔥 Support our mission: https://stpaulcenter.co/donate ___ Follow the St. Paul Center on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stpaulcenter?igsh=anloZXB4dDdjcHI1&utm_source=qr Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/177cb1WMS5/?mibextid=wwXIfr X/Twitter: https://x.com/saintpaulcenter?s=21&t=8_4yim_uMnTcaKXDbGGuVQ #stpaulcenter #scotthahn #theroadtoemmaus #jeremiahbannister #conversion #catholicism #christianity
