This is the conclusion of our two-part conversation with Pastor Andrew Abraham, a former Roman Catholic now serving as a Lutheran pastor in Tennessee. Together with Pastor Curt Hoover and host Doug Hannah, we dig deep into some of the most misunderstood and misrepresented aspects of historic Christian belief.

• What is the apostolic tradition — and who really preserved it?

• Why the Reformation wasn’t a start-from-scratch protest movement

• Why so many believers today are rediscovering liturgy, sacrament, and theological depth

• And what to say to those curious about Catholicism but unsure what they’re getting into.

This episode will challenge assumptions, shine light on forgotten truths, and offer assurance in the promises of Christ. We talk real presence, infant baptism, the canon of Scripture, and how Lutheranism can feel like seeing the gospel in full color.
