There's a gap between logically knowing something is true and actually believing it. In this episode of Catechism 101, we unpack exactly what it takes to cross that gap.
This episode covers:
The difference between knowing something is true and actually believing it
Why faith is a gift from God
The four things that have to happen to make an act of faith
Why the will matters just as much as the intellect
Why God is the most credible source there is.
