Fr. Robert Spitzer on the SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE for the soul, near death experiences, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ... and other Tangents!

Fr. Robert Spitzer joins us on the Tangent to talk about the scientific evidence for the soul found in case studies on near death experiences. We're talking the soul leaving the body, going to heaven (or hell...) and returning back to the body. All while the brain shows a flat EEG (meaning there's no electrical activity in the brain, and therefore a 0% possibility this is a hallucination). Further, he bolsters the argument by focusing on blind patients, who experience an NDE, see for the first time, and return to their bodies.
PLUS Fr. Spitzer dives into the case studies surrounding the Shroud of Turin, the possibility of seeing angels before death, and SO MUCH MORE!

Fr. Ken Geraci, CPM joins us to talk about spiritual warfare and the message of Divine Mercy given to St. Faustina (which is APOCOLYPTIC). Fr. Ken explains why the Divine Mercy Chaplet is the most powerful prayer the Church has in her arsenal today (because it's an extension of the Mass), shares testimonies about the power of the image, chaplet and feast, and dives into its power to protect us in the midst of spiritual attack.
He also dogs on the Rosary for some reason....(inside joke, listen to be in on it ;)

Bill Mattison III on Walking through the Gospels with Jesus, Notre Dame, the Chosen, Ignatian Spirituality... and other Tangents

William C. Mattison III joins Fr. Sam Kachuba and Matt Sperrazza to discuss his new book "Follow Me: Walking with Jesus through the Gospels". The heart of this episode is Igniatian spirituality. It's theologically contemplative and speculative by its very nature. It is a fruitful conversation where we step into the Gospel stories themselves:
What was it like for Andrew on the day he met Jesus?
What was it like for Peter to "work all night and catch nothing"... only for Jesus to call him immediately afterwards?
What was it like for Mary as she witnessed Jesus's Resurrection first hand?
