69. Why Do So Many Catholics Turn Away from God?

Amanda Hummer returns to the podcast to share her perspective on Catholicism. Raised in the Catholic Church, Amanda eventually stepped away, seeking truth in New Age spirituality for many years—until she had a radical encounter with Jesus that changed everything. If you haven’t heard her powerful testimony, check out Episode #66 of the podcast!

In today’s conversation, Amanda unpacks why she believes Catholicism may be preventing people from truly knowing Jesus. We dive into some of the biggest questions people have: Why do so many who are raised Catholic end up turning away from God? Is praying to Mary biblical? Should we confess our sins to a priest? What does it really mean to be born again in the Spirit?

If you’ve ever wondered about Catholicism, explored different denominations, or simply want to deepen your understanding of faith, this episode is packed with insight that might challenge your perspective and help you seek the truth.
