Today, we sit down with Mike Gendron, a former Catholic who discovered the truth in the Bible and left the Catholic Church after 35 years. As the founder of Proclaiming the Gospel ministry, Mike has developed numerous resources to equip and encourage Christians to be effective witnesses to Roman Catholics. In this episode, Mike shares his deeply personal journey, revealing how reading the scriptures opened his eyes to the significant differences between Catholic doctrine and biblical truth. We dive into some highly controversial topics, such as: Was Mary truly a virgin her entire life? What does it take for a Catholic to get into heaven? Does even the pope make it into heaven? Whether you're Catholic, Protestant, or simply curious about these beliefs, this episode offers insightful perspectives on faith, tradition, and the pursuit of truth.
