The Best Bad Reasons to be Catholic

from The Brian Holdsworth Podcast

We're never actually evaluating the best arguments for or against God; we're evaluating the best arguments we can understand. Which says more about us than about the truth being evaluated. Sponsor: https://catholicmatch.com/Support the channel: https://brianholdsworth.ca/help Sometimes, faith isn't a conclusion we reason our way into, it's a step we dare to take when reason reaches its limits. In this episode, Brian shares a recent conversation with a viewer who's sincerely searching for truth but feels stuck between compelling arguments for and against God. Through that story, he unpacks why many of our deepest choices, including faith, can't rest on intellect alone, and why the pursuit of meaning, happiness, community, and eternal hope still make Christianity the most rational choice of all.
