Episode 587 - The Root Cause of Faith Failure

Why do so many Catholic young people walk away from the Faith—even after years of religious education? In this episode, Steve Wood uncovers the root cause of faith failure from Matthew 7:21–23: “I never knew you.” Jesus’ warning isn’t aimed at obvious sinners, but at professing Christians who knew about God yet never truly knew Him. Drawing from Scripture, the Catechism, and insights echoed by Pope Benedict XVI, this episode explains why knowing God is not a notional belief—but a living, transforming relationship. Essential listening for parents, pastors, and anyone concerned about Catholic faith formation, youth apostasy, and passing on a faith that lasts.
