In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by the incredible Austin Molt, an Evangelical pastor, who's invited me to try and convert him to Catholicism – in 60 minutes!

Austin, the pastor of New Vintage Church in Richland, WA, introduced himself to me a while back and we struck up an online friendship. He's doing and has done some great, deep thinking about the Catholic faith and invited me, in 60 minutes or less, to try to convert him to Catholicism. Of course, that's impossible! But we do talk about elements of my own conversion story like authority, the Early Church, and the papacy.

Plus, Austin shares some of his biggest questions about things like apostolic succession, the usefulness of creeds and confessions, and the Marian dogmas.

It's an incredible, cordial conversation and was so good we've already agree to do it again.

For more from Austin visit his YouTube channel or follow him on Instagram.
