But in more recent years it seems like our protestant brothers and sisters have really stepped it up while we’ve done the opposite. So this week on HTG we get into how exactly to fix that, and spread the good news to anyone that’ll listen in this day and age.

While sex is a key part of it, there is more to it than just sex. We delve into how it encompasses much more than just that. One of our panelists even got a Masters in Catechesis, so you KNOW she can explain it.

We go beyond Church doctrine into the personal views of our panelists on the reasons behind being pro-life aside from just “the Church says so” or “I just do what I’m told.” One panelist even works at a Pregnancy Aid Clinic, being on the front lines of the issue and coming face-to-face with women facing the question of whether to have a baby, some of whom do and some don’t.

Dr. Paul Thigpen joins us to show how the Devil goes about doing it in subtle ways and what we should do, as well as other practices many we know might partake in such as sage, crystals, and Ouija boards.
