Apologetics for an Age of Unbelief 
In this talk, Karlo gives a how-to approach for dispelling the major cultural myths that serve as obstacles to faith—namely, that there is no such thing as truth, belief in God is incompatible with science, and Jesus is no different than other religious leaders.

Before Constantine: The Faith of the Early Christians
What did the early Christians really believe about the divinity of Jesus, about the Eucharist, about Mary, and about the structure of the Church? Joe gives compelling evidence that the earliest Christians were a lot more Catholic than most people realize.
What’s the Big Deal About Mary?
Why do Catholics seem to focus so much attention on the Virgin Mary? Isn’t there a danger of this focus taking our attention away from Jesus? In this talk, Joe shows the Biblical framework for how we should think about Mary, looking at the Old Testament foreshadowing of Mary, and tracing the battle between “the woman” and “the serpent” from Genesis throughout the Old Testament and into the New Testament.
Seven Mysteries of the Faith Unlocked by the Eucharist
Instead of treating the Eucharist as just one more doctrine amongst many, Joe shows in this talk how a right understanding of the Eucharist is key for understanding (1) the New Covenant; (2) the Old Covenant; (3) the Mass; (4) Early Christianity; (5) the Church; (6) the lives of the Saints; and (7) your own spiritual life.
Pope Peter
Based on his book by the same name, in this talk, Joe explores the biblical basis for the idea that St. Peter really was chosen by Jesus Christ as the first pope… and why that truth means that everyone should be Catholic!
The Historical Case for Christianity
Why should we believe the testimony of Jesus and the Apostles, and not other religious founders, like Joseph Smith or Muhammad? Are there solid reasons to trust the Bible over books like the Quran or the Book of Mormon? Using his background as a former lawyer, Joe looks at what we can know about Christianity and the Resurrection from a historical perspective.

The Cycle of the Christian Life
Meeting Jesus is the beginning of new life. From this encounter, we are free to choose whether we follow Him or return to our former lives. If we follow, we become converted, bit by bit, to be like Him. This allows us to enter into shared lives of love with Him, a state we call communion. Those who enter communion with Christ have everything (the summit of the spiritual life), but they cannot keep it to themselves or it will die. From communion we must go on mission to help others to meet Christ. In this passing on of the Faith, the cycle begins anew both for the one sharing and the one hearing. This is the fundamental cycle of the Christian life, and the way of eternal life handed down by the Apostles: Encounter, Conversion, Communion, and Mission.

Remedies Against Sadness of the Soul
Today there is a lot of public attention around mental illness especially the rise of anxiety and depression among young people.  However, it&#8217;s not just young people; anxiety rose across all demographic categories since 2008.  Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the US affecting 19% of the population.  These trends are distressing, but are anxiety and depression something new to the human condition?  Certainly not.  While we may not have the stats to show the comparison, anxiety, depression &#8211; what the medieval thinkers referred to as &#8220;sadness of the soul&#8221; &#8211; has been around since the dawn of humanity.  The question before us is: how do we remedy this aspect of the human condition?  We will explore certain insights into remedies that St. Thomas Aquinas provides for those of us who struggle with the daily grind of life that causes sorrow sadness.

“O DEATH WHERE IS THY STING”: A CASE FOR THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS  
The first Christians claimed to see Jesus in the flesh three days after he was buried in the tomb. And this appearance became the very foundation of the Christian religion. But is this reasonable to believe? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Some skeptics say the resurrection was a cleverly devised plot to start a new religion. Others argue the disciples of Jesus hallucinated, or simply had an interior vision of the dead Jesus. Still others say the resurrection story is a myth that’s rip-offed from either Jewish or pagan beliefs. In this course, Karlo carefully weighs the evidence for and against the resurrection of Jesus with in-depth analysis. In the end, he shows why the Christian story of the resurrection of Jesus justifies Paul’s statement, “O death where is thy sting” (1 Cor. 15:55).

The Assumption is no Assumption!
In this presentation, Tim gives compelling reasons for the Assumption of Mary rooted in Scripture, the Fathers, and history. Indeed, explore with Tim new discoveries—post Munificentissimus Deus wherein Pope Pius XII declared the Assumption of Mary ex cathedra—that will blow the lid off arguments that appeared plausible to Tim himself and many skeptics who do not know what you are going to learn in this presentation. With this new information, folks, we have a whole new ballgame!
Behold Your Mother 
In this talk, Tim speaks of the many layers of meaning to the powerful words of our Lord from the cross when he said to St. John, in the place of all of us, standing at the foot of the cross with the Mother of God, “Behold: your mother!”
Jesus here gave to all of us two great gifts that he knew he alone could not provide for us. In fact, these are two gifts that God cannot be for us. First, Jesus knew we needed a mother, but that he could never be that for us. Indeed, God is Father, not mother. Tim will explore just what this means for all of us in our spiritual lives. Second, Jesus knew he could not be a disciple of Jesus. Jesus can be a lot of things, but he can’t be a disciple of himself. And yet, Jesus knows we need mentors—disciples—to look up to on our journey of faith. Here, Jesus gave us the perfect disciple in his mother and ours.
Tim will take you from these two points toward an examination of how we not only need the gift of Mary—the perfect mother and disciple—for our spiritual lives, but that we need each other as members of the body of Christ. Get ready for quite a ride in this talk that takes you from Mary to the communion of saints and into eternity!
