Episode 83: Navigating an Inter-Denominational Marriage – An Interview with Della Bright

By |

What happens when a Catholic and a Protestant get married? Today we talk with Della Bright about her journey navigating an inter-denominational marriage with her husband after she decided to take her Protestant faith seriously and he decided to take his Catholic faith seriously. A few of the questions we asked Della: 

 

  • What tradition were you raised in?
  • How did you navigate being convicted in different traditions of the faith: your husband Catholic and you Protestant?
  • What were some of the main issues you faced in your marriage due to being convicted in different traditions?
  • In what ways did you still feel united, even in your differences? 
  • Do you have advice for those in an interdenominational relationship/marriage? 

 

Della Bright is an aspiring author whose mission is to encourage women to live a fruitful life inside and outside of the home. Inside the home, she enjoys sharing about home cooking, homesteading, and homeschooling. Outside of the home, she loves to help Christians understand the importance of lovingly and respectfully sharing their faith, their stories, and their opinions on the important issues of the day.

Let’s Talk About it with Jacque and Megan is a podcast born from our friendship. We are two people with very different beliefs, yet a shared desire to have understanding and unity! We love to have good natured “Catholic vs. Protestant” conversations to bridge the gap between our faith traditions. On this podcast, we talk about real and difficult topics such as mental health, faith, sex, shame, and more to cultivate a space where we can all just talk about it. In a culture of social media outrage, division, and “canceling”, we want to create an environment in which we can have fruitful discussion & disagreement.

Episode 72: A Catholic and Protestant talk about Purgatory and Indulgences

Episode 72: A Catholic and Protestant talk about Purgatory and Indulgences

By |

What is the doctrine of Purgatory? Why don’t Protestants affirm this belief? Does Purgatory mean Christ’s sacrifice was not sufficient? Listen in as we discuss Catholic vs. Protestant perspectives on Purgatory!

For the sake of a good-faith discussion, we’ll discuss the official teaching and belief of the Catholic Church, not the various abuses and misuses throughout history since those don’t represent current official Catholic doctrines. The historical view/practice of Purgatory would be a video all to itself with how large that topic can be.
