Homeschoolers work very hard to raise their children to a virtuous, faith-filled adulthood, to be lights on a lampstand, and witnesses to the saving love of Christ. But how do we arm them to respond to tough questions about why their Catholicism is essential to their relationship with Jesus Christ? I’m so excited, today, to welcome John Martignoni, to talk about: Blue Collar Apologetics: A Simple, Common Sense Approach.

As Catholic homeschoolers, we want our children to develop relationships with the saints as role models and friends. However, not everyone who lived a life of heroic virtue has been formally canonized by the Church, so we might have to dig a little deeper to study their fascinating and inspiring lives. My guest, today, the Miracle Hunter himself, Michael O’Neill, is here to tell us about his new book, They Might Be Saints!
