Romephobia: Overcoming the Fear of Looking Too Catholic
In this episode, we explore a term I’m calling Romephobia—an unhealthy aversion to anything that looks, sounds, or is perceived as Roman Catholic. Many historic terms, ideas, and practices that were once broadly embraced by the ancient Church have, over time, been wrongly attributed solely to Rome. This fear has led many to abandon deeply rooted Christian traditions simply because they carry a “Catholic” association.Join us as we examine key theological concepts, liturgical practices, and historical terms that were once common across Christendom but have been unfairly labeled as exclusively Roman. From the use of “Eucharist” and “bishop” to beliefs about the Real Presence and apostolic succession, we’ll uncover how these elements belong to the historic Church, not just the Roman Church.Is it time to move past Romephobia and reclaim what rightfully belongs to the whole Church? Tune in as we separate historical fact from modern misconceptions.If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7 #Romephobia #ChurchHistory #AncientChurch #ChristianTradition #Eucharist #ApostolicSuccession #Liturgy #Theology #ChurchUnity #HistoricChristianity #CatholicVsProtestant #ChristianApologetics #FaithAndTradition #Orthodoxy #AnglicanTheology

The Fundamentalists Got It Half Right on Sexual Purity
On this episode of FACTS, Stephen unpacks the greatest mistake made in fundamentalist circles regarding sexual purity. While their efforts to guard young people’s sexuality aim to protect future marriages, they often miss the deeper teaching of sacrament. Stephen explores why sexual purity isn’t just about preserving desires for a future spouse—it’s about preparing for a future sacramental covenant. Tune in to hear how this bigger picture transforms the way we think about purity, marriage, and faith.If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7 #FACTSPodcast #SexualPurity #Fundamentalism #MarriageSacrament #ChristianTheology #PurityCulture #BiblicalMarriage #Covenant #YoungChristians #ChurchTeaching
