Tim Staples & Mark Shea

Several folks, including Tim Staples & Mark Shea, gave some talks at Christendom College a year or two ago.  Christendom College put it on iTunes!

Here's THE LINK to iTunes. 

Tim Staples' talk is St. Paul and Justification.

Mark Shea's talk is St. Paul, Evangelization, and Apologetics.

The others were alright, but these were definitely the highlights.

Enjoy! 

American Chesterton Society Podcast

.

Unbeknownst to me, the folks over at Chesterton.org have a podcast! (Sidenote: IMHO, Chesterton would be horrified at the isolationism that the Earbud Culture breeds, but, redeemingly, would likely enjoy Podcasts as smalltalk writ large.)

The Podcast is called Uncommon Sense (libsyn here) and starts with a few of the usual suspects: Dale Ahlquist, Mark Shea, etc. They have over 40 episodes now -- check 'em out.

Here are a few just to whet your appetite:

Conversion Stories

I'm pretty sure I've posted these before, but what can I say? I'm a sucker for love stories. At their heart, every conversion story is a love story. The good part? When you listen to them you can't help but fall in love a little bit as well! Give these a listen and fall deeper in love with our Lord.
