Dr. Bergsma sits down with Dominican friar and former student, Fr. Gregory Pine, to discuss his faith journey and the rIs the Summa Theologiae all that Catholics need to know their Faith?

In this episode of Stunned by Scripture, Dr. John Bergsma dismantles the “many worlds theory” (multiverse), demonstrating how it is rooted not in science and sound philosophy but in atheistic ideology.

The Truth About Spiritual Warfare | Fr. Louis Merosne

In this episode of Stunned by Scripture, Fr. Louis Merosne joins Dr. Bergsma to discuss the role of Scripture in combating the demonic. Fr. Merosne offers practical guidance on how Catholics can use Scripture to resist temptation and live in the victory Christ has won. He also highlights the importance of memorizing Scripture for spiritual warfare. When the devil tempted Jesus in the desert, the Lord rebuked him with Scripture (Mt 4). In doing so, Christ models spiritual combat for us, wielding the Word as the sword of the Spirit (Eph 6:17). They also discuss how the Sacrament of Confession fits into spiritual warfare. Confession is more than admitting wrongdoing. It is a spiritual battle in which grace brings freedom and healing. ✨ Join the largest group Bible Study in America—Bible Across America ➡️ https://stpaulcenter.com/america [https://stpaulcenter.com/america] ✨ Learn to accompany authentically, faithfully, and confidently.
