You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.

Hey there, Sproutses. Today is Tuesday, September 28th, 2021.

Now, this week we are talking about Christianity.

We are wondering why Christianity is the true religion, especially among all the big world religions.

And of course, if we're looking closely at Christianity, we have to look at Jesus Christ.

The major claim of Christianity is that Jesus is God.

We really should believe that. If we're going to call ourselves Christians,

through and we're going to knock these down one after another so that in the end, all that is
