Trent Horn on Apologetics, Conversion & Faith

Why are more Christians exploring the Catholic Church today? In this episode of Guestsplaining, Fr. Gregory Pine welcomes Catholic apologist Trent Horn for an in-depth conversation on Protestantism, Catholic apologetics, conversion, and the journey toward the fullness of the Christian faith.

Drawing from years of dialogue with Protestants, atheists, and seekers, Trent explains why apologetics matters, how Catholics can engage disagreements with charity, and why every argument should ultimately lead to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Together they discuss Scripture, Church authority, sola scriptura, the role of reason, and the spiritual life that follows conversion.

They also explore the challenges facing new Catholics, the influence of online personalities, and why lasting faith depends not merely on winning debates but on prayer, the sacraments, and authentic discipleship.

Whether you’re discerning Catholicism, interested in Christian apologetics, or seeking to deepen your faith, this conversation offers practical wisdom and thoughtful insights into one of Christianity’s most enduring questions.
