Null hypothesiser · Mar 2025

Trent does things few others can - he succinctly puts together, explains, and presents arguments or points together for his viewpoint using Scripture, historical documents, the Church fathers, and natural law. There’s no rhetorical blathering here, no restless opining, no poorly crafted opinion of what Scripture says presented as fact. Just good apologetics presented in a logical fashion that anyone can understand in under half an hour (normally) per episode. Can’t recommend Trent enough. Deus Vult

Otiac · Mar 2025

As a convert, being Catholic isn’t easy but what good thing is? The difference Catholicism is it’s Gods map to Him. Trent explains this journey in such an easy way to understand…and sometimes his truths are hard to take, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. Thank you Trent!

Th3 realracer445 · Jan 2025

I differ from Trent on a lot of political things, but i deeply appreciate his insight as a fellow Catholic. I do like how he is true to the Church’s principles, and i learn more about my faith through him.
