In today’s episode, Bishop Barron fields questions from people all over the world, including:

  • How do I evangelize in remote areas where people are simple, and can’t even read the Bible, without dumbing down the message?
  • What’s the Catholic response to worry and anxiety?
  • Was Purgatory divinely revealed or just a human invention?
  • How to evangelize young people about hot-button issues without sounding preachy and condemnatory?
  • When praying, should we always go to God with requests or can we sometimes just praise him?
  • How can God be outside the universe but still have an effect on it?
