Ep 11: From Protestant Pastor to Catholic Convert | Justin Hibbard on Why Catholic

Episode 11

Sunday, March 1, 2026 • Duration 01:38:25

In this episode, I sit down with Justin Hibbard, host of Why Catholic, to unpack his powerful journey from Protestant pastor to Catholic convert.

We dive into what led him to question sola scriptura, how the writings of the Early Church Fathers reshaped his theology, and why he ultimately entered the Catholic Church. Along the way, we explore key differences between Protestants, Catholics, and Eastern Orthodox Christians, from authority and apostolic succession to tradition and the sacraments.

This conversation isn’t about winning arguments. It’s about seeking truth, Church history, and the courage to follow conviction wherever it leads.

If you have ever wrestled with questions about the early Church, denominational differences, or the foundations of Christian authority, this episode is for you.

Ep 7: Faith, Science, and the Search for Truth with Dr. David Whelan

Episode 7

Thursday, January 1, 2026 • Duration 01:34:02

In this episode of Words With Ward, Tyler Ward sits down with physicist and astronomer Dr. David Whelan to examine common assumptions about faith and science. Drawing from his experience in physics and astronomy, Dr. Whelan explains why scientific inquiry and belief in God do not need to be seen as opposing ideas.

Rather than presenting science and religion as competing systems, the conversation focuses on how every worldview rests on certain foundational beliefs. They discuss whether science truly challenges belief in God, how wonder in the cosmos can cultivate humility, and why even scientific work depends on trust and belief, even when it is not labeled as faith.

This episode invites listeners from all backgrounds to reconsider the perceived divide between science and faith and to reflect on what they ultimately place their trust in.

Stay tuned until the end for his rapid-fire round, where Dr. Whelan shares quick, fascinating insights that you won’t want to miss.

Note: A title mentioned in the episode has since been clarified by our guest. Johannes Kepler’s work on planetary harmony is correctly titled Five Books on the Harmony of the Worlds.
