BONUS: How Do We Effectively Minister the Gospel in a Post-Christian Society?
We are "de-Cathinated" (but definitely not decaffeinated) for this BONUS episode. Ben is joined by three of his pastor friends (Adam Poe, Phil Bange, and Justin Monfort), all from local churches of different Protestant denominations, to discuss this episode's title question. While we will be without the Catholic Chadder, these dynamic men are poised to deliver some absolutely great insights.
In true Man Talk fashion, there's a four-way free-flowing discussion throughout; as the conversation draws down, each co-host gives their final weigh-in. The four co-hosts discuss how to effectively minister in our homes and in society, and how to reach our youth for Christ and the role technology plays in that effort. Then it's off to new and exciting things for Ben and Chad! Thanks again for listening and supporting us!

BONUS: How Should Catholics in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati Approach Beacons of Light?
Beacons of Light, implemented in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati in July of 2022, is an
attempt to address difficult realities facing Catholics, realities like declining Mass
attendance and growing priest shortages. A consolidation of parish churches into
groupings called “Families” has ensued with the hope that shared resources might
enable Catholics to move "from a mindset of maintenance to a mindset of mission."
Despite its good intentions and its arguably necessary measures, Beacons has proven
disruptive and often trying for many of the lay faithful.
Chad takes this BONUS opportunity to bring in three Mighty Catholic laymen (John Paul Slonkosky, Nick Rentz, and Jared Pottkotter), for a 4-mic Man-Talk, to discuss this episode’s title question. The four of them roundtable the challenges, the realizations, and the divisions brought on by Beacons. What has been the experience of Beacons “on the ground” by the average Catholic? How much of the difficulties during these first two years of Beacons has to do with parish consolidations, and how much has to do with younger priests moving toward more traditional liturgical celebrations? What is the future of Catholicism in Cincinnati, and (at the episode’s end) what advice would these four men give to lay men and women as we move forward together?
