Dr. David Anders shares his journey from evangelical Protestant scholar to Catholic convert and EWTN host, explaining how study, Scripture, and encounters with Catholic media led him to the Church. He reflects on the role of Catholic radio in evangelization, the need to support local stations, and how media reaches listeners who wouldn’t otherwise seek out the faith.

Anders also discusses his work on Called to Communion, his book about marriage and faith, and his hope that listeners will grow in gratitude, charity, and daily cooperation with God’s grace.

Bob Johnston (with his wife Lynn) returns to Being Catholic on Catholic Spirit Radio to examine modern secular utopias—how Marxism and wokeism fell short and how a new "geneticism" promises a technological utopia. Drawing on articles from First Things, the episode critiques IVF-based eugenics, embryo selection services like Orchid, and the social pressures that can turn private choice into public expectation.

The show also explores emerging bioethical dangers such as "bodyoids" and the erosion of a clear definition of death, warning against treating human life as a disposable resource. Throughout, the hosts frame these concerns from a Catholic perspective, emphasizing human dignity, the reality of suffering, and the limits of human attempts to remake creation.

Deacon Al Lundy uses stories about family, vacations, and planning to explore different ways people live their faith. Drawing on the readings for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Habakkuk, 2 Timothy, Luke), he highlights patience, perseverance, and the courage the Holy Spirit gives believers.

He challenges listeners to grow their "mustard-seed" faith, make room for prayer and worship in whatever way works for them, and serve with humility while trusting God’s timing and judgment.
