Summary

Bishop Barron takes listener questions from all over the world, including:

What are examples of popular films that convey the Gospel without being preachy or poorly produced?
Which beings have souls, and where do we draw the line?
If prayer doesn't change God's mind, then when we get what we pray for, would we have gotten it anyways?
How can laypeople encourage priests to do more evangelization?
Since there's no time in heaven, when I die, will the rest of my family already be there even if they’re not dead yet?
How do you defend the faith through social media when so few people are willing to engage serious arguments?
How can Catholic laypeople determine which Church leaders to follow and imitate?
Are we at a spiritual disadvantage without deep friendships in our lives? Are there any virtues of loneliness?
