Catholicism, IVF, the Shroud of Turin, and Persistent Prayer

In this episode of Know Grow Go, we talk through Catholicism, IVF, the Shroud of Turin, and persistent prayer in Luke 18. We discuss major differences between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism, how Christians should think about modern ethical issues like IVF and surrogacy, whether the Shroud of Turin should be taken seriously as a historical artifact, and what Jesus teaches in the parable of the persistent widow about faith, justice, and trusting God.This conversation is centered on biblical discernment, Christian theology, and practical faith. We work through questions about Catholic teaching, the authority of Scripture, justification, Mary, confession, purgatory, the ethics of frozen embryos, and how believers should approach religious artifacts without superstition or misplaced reverence. We also reflect on Luke 18:1 to 8 and the call to keep praying, keep trusting, and remain faithful while waiting on the justice and timing of God.Topics in this episode include:Luke 18 and the parable of the persistent widow Persistent prayer and the faithfulness of God Roman Catholicism and Protestant concerns Scripture, tradition, grace, and justification Mary, confession, purgatory, and the papacy The Shroud of Turin and questions of authenticity IVF, surrogacy, frozen embryos, and Christian ethics How Christians should think carefully about difficult theological and cultural issuesIf you’ve wrestled with questions about Catholicism, IVF, the resurrection of Jesus, Christian ethics, prayer, suffering, or trusting God in hard seasons, this episode will help you think more clearly and biblically.Key takeaway: Christians need to think carefully, submit to Scripture, and trust God’s character even when facing difficult theological questions, modern ethical issues, and seasons of waiting.Submit a question: https://bit.ly/Ask-KnowGrowGo Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theknowgrowgo_pod?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr
