Hello and welcome to Focus, the Catholic Answers podcast for living, understanding, and

defending your Catholic faith.

I am Cy Kellett, your host, and sometimes when we're making this show, we're like, we have

a topic and we want to find somebody who's an expert in that topic. And sometimes we have a person, and we just want to talk to that person, and we want to find somebody who's an expert in that topic.

And sometimes we have a person, and we just want to talk to that person, and we'll talk with them about anything.

And that's, I kind of think, what we're doing today.

Eric Defoeia, an extraordinary person, a converts to the Catholic faith.

We'll get a little bit of his story.

I don't know.

Podcaster, right?

That's the word I'm supposed to say.

Podcaster, a traditional urban Catholic speaker.

And fired up, Christian, one of those things that we see again and again and again is that the convert to the faith often brings an energy that the rest of us need really, really need.

So it's wonderful to welcome you, Eric. Thank you for being here with us.

Yeah, you know, thank you. So I appreciate being here.

And what we wanted to talk with you about was sharing the faith with the unchurched today, because that's,

I think that's a big part of what you do. So maybe you can just tell us a little bit of your story

and about, and then we'll get, I've got some questions for you about how to share the faith

with those who don't know Christ. They didn't grow up in church. They don't know all of that. Yeah, you know what?

Because you asked me a little bit about my story, but before I do that, I'd just like to pray

real quick. So if you don't mind, I'm assuming. Oh, Eric, that's fine. St. Michael, the archangel,

prayer. He defends me in battle. Amen. Amen. Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him,
