About this episode
The episode recounts how a debate during a Bible study led to an unexpected friendship and a journey toward understanding between two men of different faiths.
John thought he was leading a Bible study. Then a skeptical Baptist walked into the room and asked a simple question: “What are Catholics actually about?” What followed was years of conversations, debates, disagreements, road-trip phone calls, and one friendship that neither of them could have predicted. Along the way, both men discovered something surprising: sometimes winning an argument isn't what changes a heart. This is the story of an unlikely friendship, a long journey toward truth, and a text message that arrived years later with a line John will never forget: “I fear that I will not be Protestant much longer.”
