You're Not Real (and how you can be!)

A heavy-packed episode, tackling the provocative theme: “God is Real. You Are Not.” What does it mean to "be real" and how can you get there? But there's much more to this episode than that!

In this lively and deeply reflective episode of The Catholic Experience, the Catholic Adventurer tackles the provocative theme: “God is Real. You Are Not.” Drawing from theology, personal testimony, and real-time audience interaction, I unpack what it means to become “real”—the True version of what God envisioned when he "thought you up", before you came into the world.— shedding the distortions of sin and returning to the person God originally envisioned. But I talk about a lot more than that! See show notes below.
