<li>03:10 – Making suffering meaningful</li>
<li>16:41 – The biggest hurdle trying to convince people of the pro-life argument, that is that human life is innately valuable, is apathy. I find that people either A) don’t care that the child in the womb is a life, and/or B) people don’t think there’s adequate authority to tell others “how they should live their life”. What is the best argument against apathy? Or this false view of infringing on someone’s individual liberty?</li>
<li>24:30 – Are there any saints you have a strong devotion to?</li>
<li>29:24 – If you notice others around you, be it coworkers, friends, acquaintances, etc., talking about their anti-Catholic beliefs, what is your obligation to say something in defense of the Catholic Church? Is it necessarily a sin of omission to not confront the person saying such things? Can you share some tips for what to say if you decide to confront the person?</li>
<li>34:32 – I have a friend who is a Protestant who told me that the Apostle’s Creed and the Nicene Creed recited by Catholics is in “error” because scripture claims that only Jesus Christ is the Creator, not God the Father. His comment is “Show me the Father who died on the cross for my sins if I’m wrong” which in my view he seems to be denying the Trinity but he claims he isn’t – says that Catholics are incorrect and that scripture backs up his claims. Can you help me respond to him?</li>
<li>43:35 – Hi Trent! Sometimes I feel that I get too deep in the online apologetic world and am wanting to disconnect a little bit. What prudential or practical advice would you give for disconnecting from the online world and building a better habit for spiritual practices like prayer and reading scripture? I often struggle to take the time to pray or read the Gospel, but will spend a lot of time online engaging in apologetic content. Thank you for all you do and I hope this has been a restful week for you and your family!</li>
