Imagine a killer was trying to suffocate you and as you take your last breath he’s celebrating your death.  This was a sobering, horrifying moment for our guest, “Broken Catholic” Joseph Warren. We talk about his experience in this moment, and we unpack as much as we can about Catholicism, a faith many evangelical Christians don’t focus on, or really understand.

WHAT DO CATHOLICS BELIEVE?

 

Joseph’s story is absolutely amazing.  He had all the things this world says you should have: money, success, women and an automated business that required only two hrs per week of his time.  Yet, despite all this, he felt empty and dissatisfied.  Joseph says in a moment of desperation, he prayed a dangerous prayer: “God remove anything that is blocking Your plan for my life – and use force if necessary.” 

You’ll get to hear some of his dramatic experiences after praying that prayer, almost right out of a movie!
