Drawn to Rome, Part 1: No One Gets Argued into Love (#486)
Apple Podcasts

RSS Feed Nearly five hundred episodes of this show have been about why the Catholic Church is true. That work was real, and it is not being retired. It was also incomplete. Most people do not start down the Road to Rome because they won an argument. They start because something draws them — a longing, a story, a seriousness, a beauty — before they can give the thing a name. In this short introduction to Drawn to Rome, Greg tells the part of his own conversion he usually leaves out: Tolkien, read as a kid who did not know the word Catholic, planted a hunger that Calvary Chapel, Calvin Seminary, and a long shelf of arguments never quite replaced. The books came later. They kept him from feeling crazy. They did not put his feet on the road. No one gets argued into love.
