Hello Emil, I’m pleased to meet you! And I really loved your presentation. I do like the fact that you integrate your faith into your daily life. Faith is extremely important for many of us; and I firmly believe that the spiritual mainly precedes the physical plane. Anyway, I wish lots of success with Reasoned Faith Books, and I hope you’ll reach many people through your ministry!
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. It’s truly important to weave faith into our daily lives. My aim is to offer a variety of resources to invigorate and enrich one’s faith journey, making it easier to integrate into one’s everyday experiences.
Hi, I enjoyed reading about your sincere faith and how you practice it in your life. Your mission of empowerment and inspiring faith is very powerful. Is your faith focussed totally on the Catholic Church or do you embrace other Christian Churches? I admire the strong faith that you have and your desire to build a community. Would that be around a church, or independent of the church? Alan.
Hi Alan,
Thank you for your thoughtful message! I appreciate your interest in my faith journey and the mission I’m passionate about. Let me share my perspective with you.
As a convert from evangelical and Protestant faith to Catholicism, I’ve found that my Christian faith is deeply intertwined with the Church. While I respect and appreciate other Christian denominations, my heart resonates with the rich traditions, sacraments, and teachings of the Catholic Church. For me, it’s difficult—if not impossible—to separate my faith from this beautiful community.
My desire to build a community is rooted in fostering dialogue among all denominations. I believe that we can learn from one another, celebrate our shared beliefs, and engage in respectful conversations even when we hold different perspectives. Whether within the Church or independently, I aim to inspire faith and empower others through genuine connections.
Thank you again for reaching out, Alan. May our shared journey of faith continue to deepen and enrich our lives.
Blessings

Hi there. It seems in these times that more and more people are turning away from faith and religion in general. The media doesn’t help as they seem to attack Christianity, yet have nothing bad to say about other religions. Do you see the turn away from faith as an issue and do you believe that the media are biased against Christianity in general? I’ll be interested in your thoughts.
Hi there!
I do see the turn away from faith as a significant issue. The media’s biased portrayal of Christianity exacerbates this problem, often highlighting negative aspects while neglecting the positive contributions. Factors such as secularization, scientific advancements, and a focus on individualism contribute to this decline. Engaging with the media to provide balanced perspectives, strengthening faith communities, and educating people on Christian teachings are crucial steps to address this issue.
Best regards,
Emil
