This is the third episode in the Simply Holy series, “Springtime in the Church,” which explores the unique and often little-known ways in which lay persons serve the Church through Third Orders, Oblates, Secular Institutes, Prelatures, Associations of the Christian Faithful, Ecclesial Movements, New Communities, Apostolates, and the like. St. John Paul II referred to these men and women as the “Springtime in the Church.” Marge chats with author and blogger Justin Vanlee McClain about his joy in living the life of a Lay Dominican. A husband, father of four (with one on the way), High School Theology and Spanish teacher, Justin tells how his Catholic faith is complemented and his life enriched by his Dominican spirituality.

John DeRosa debuts his new book, One Less God Than You.
If you have spent any time on Twitter, in a college quad, or at the dinner table with a freshman philosophy major, you’re probably familiar with the litany of slogans that religious skeptics employ in an attempt to rescue you from the foolish belief that God exists.
Even our public schools and mainstream media often can’t help but parrot the tropes and memes that seem to leave thinking people with no alternative but to embrace atheism.
How can a Christian respond?
You can ignore them—but then you miss a chance to evangelize and to strengthen your own faith. You can spend years mastering theistic apologetics before you reply—but that takes, well, years. Or you can let John DeRosa (Classical Theism) help. In One Less God Than You, he breaks down twenty of the most common atheist challenges, exposes their substantive and logical weaknesses, and shows you how to craft effective answers.
Atheism is more aggressive and widespread than ever before, so we believers have a crucial task before us. Read One Less God Than You and prepare yourself to respond with the joyful truth that God is real.
Questions Covered:
- 14:02 - If there’s more than one church with different beliefs, then which one should an atheist choose? Why should they join a church when people of faith are confused?
- 17:50 - Why don’t you use the argument of miracles to convince people about the existence of God?
- 23:15 - What is the best way to answer an intellectual atheist who talks way over my head?
- 30:16 - How can I respond to people who claim to be Catholic, but they don’t believe and follow Catholic teaching?
- 33:30 - How would you answer, “If God is all good and all powerful, then why does he allow so much evil and suffering?”
- 42:20 - I come from an atheist family. How can we go about evangelizing family when they seem apathetic to the question of God?
- 45:38 - My kids say evolution is truth and proven and faith is a myth. How can I respond?
- 48:45 - How do I deal with friends who are on the fence about faith in general? They don’t want to believe that God even existed, let alone that he died for us.
- 51:33 - Someone is marrying into our family who has no religion. How can I start a conversation about faith with him?

On this week's show, we're joined by Jaymie Stuart Wolfe, the editor of the new Ave Maria Press book Teachings for an Unbelieving World: Newly Discovered Reflections on Paul’s Sermon at the Areopagus.
About Jaymie Stuart Wolfe:
Jaymie Stuart Wolfe is the editor of the book Teachings for an Unbelieving World: Newly Discovered Reflections on Paul’s Sermon at the Areopagus.
About Teachings for An Unbelieving World:
Teachings for an Unbelieving World is a newly discovered work written by St. John Paul II—then Archbishop Karol Wojtyła of Kraków—in the years just after Vatican II. He uses St. Paul’s sermon to the people of Athens in Acts 17 as a framework for articulating the faith in a culture of skepticism and unbelief. These thirteen brief reflections provide compelling teaching for Catholics in today’s post-Christian world and give fresh insight into JPII’s pontificate. This is the first English-language publication of this important work.
