BQ14-MVTC: "What matters most about faith?" - with Tony Giampietro

In this episode of Mystic vs. Traditional Christianity from the Better Questions podcast, Kevin Hohe and Tony Giampietro explore some of the deepest questions surrounding faith, spirituality, and the teachings of Jesus.

What does it mean to balance boundaries with openness in faith? How do rules, rituals, and church traditions guide or hinder spiritual growth? And how do we wrestle with big concepts like purgatory, resurrection, and the human search for freedom and truth?

From a deer trail analogy about human behavior to the role of the church in serving others, Kevin and Tony dig into the heart of Christianity, the significance of the sacraments, and the ongoing need for moral grounding in a complex world. They reflect on Jesus’ message of love and sacrifice and how that still calls people to live with purpose, serve others, and find heaven on earth today.
