The Cost of Discipleship, Part 1 (#355)

[DONATE WITH PAYPAL] Greg and Ed the Protestant return to the Secret Compound and dive into the real challenges faced by those considering Catholicism, especially when it means navigating opposition from friends, family, or fellow Protestants. They explore the emotional and social costs of pursuing the Catholic faith, drawing from listener emails about anti-Catholic sentiments and personal struggles. Greg shares his own experience of losing professional relationships upon converting, while Ed reflects on the liminal space of being drawn to Catholicism while still tied to Protestant roots. They discuss how Jesus warned that following Him would come with a cost, citing biblical examples like the apostles' martyrdom and encouraging listeners to respond to criticism with gentleness and respect, as advised in 1 Peter 3. This episode offers a compassionate yet bold look at the sacrifices of discipleship and how to stand firm in faith despite pushback.
