Welcome back to Shameless Popery. First of all, apologies for the delay. We're trying something new. I'm Joe Heschmire. I'm joined today by my producer, Metal Mike Caprice. Mike, do you want to introduce yourself?

Hi, good morning, everyone. My name is Michael Caprice. I am the producer for Shameless Popery. And I've been working with Joe for about a little over a year now.

It's been really good. It's been very, very fulfilling. I do some editing rules for him,

help him out with some content related stuff. And it's been awesome. So Joe, what are we talking

about today? Yeah.

So, well, first, we're, as I said, we're doing something new.

The format here is going to be a little bit of a blend between a normal episode and a live stream where it's not going to be prescripted or, you know, pre-written, pre-recorded,

like a normal episode.

But it's also not going to be just a total

free-for-all, like my normal Monday live stream. So the idea is each day, we're going to just,

or each Thursday, rather, we'll get together, have some coffee and a conversation with me and

somebody else. Today, it's Mike, and explore a particular topic. So today, coffee-wise, I've got some

Trader Joe's and I've got a cup that my wife gave me. It's a pun. So we just got a new

sofa and so the cup says, sofa's so good. And the topic is, well, why don't you introduce the topic, Mike?

Today's topic is, is Jesus alone enough?

Which I didn't even realize seems to be a big phrase or mantra that a lot of people in the Protestant and evangelical space like to use.

Yeah.

I would say when we explore something like this, we want to make some distinctions.

Because in a lot of ways, we would say absolutely, Protestants are completely right to say Jesus alone is enough.

We'd say there's other ways in which it would be wrong, even heretical, to say Jesus alone is enough.

So just to take two obvious ones.

If I said, I need Jesus and material prosperity, that would be a kind of idolatry.
