Reasons for Faith


A dynamic, engaging call-in Catholic apologetics program featuring hosts Jesse Romero, Terry Barber and Dr. Michael Barber.

Jesse Romero is an expert in Boxing, Martial arts and contact sports. That was how Jesse used to channel his competitive fire, his spirit. Then, in 1986, a fellow officer challenged Jesse to pick up a bible, and use faith instead of force as a way to find escape from the pressures of police life. In the Bible, Jesse rediscovered his Catholic roots. He also discovered how most Catholics really don’t understand the basics of their faith, choosing to live out their lives in a kind of spiritual coma. For them – and us – Jesse is a five-alarm wakeup call!

Dr. Michael Barber is the Professor of Theology, Scripture and Catholic Thought at John Paul the Great Catholic University in San Diego and is a Michael is a Research Fellow for the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, founded by Dr. Scott Hahn.
