The Balance of Gray Podcast exists for one reason - to strengthen the faith of truth seekers by discussing raw topics, asking hard questions, and giving honest answers as we navigate the gray areas that challenge so many believers. Of course, we will be goofing around a little bit too, because it just makes life more fun that way! With the Word of God in one hand, and a microphone in the other, join the discussions that need to be had as we grow in truth, knowledge, and grace along the way.

    Ep 62: When Bad Logic Becomes Bad Theology - Did the RCC Add to Christianity? Part 4
    Oct 21 2026

    We’re finally here folks – the final part in our Catholic/Protestant series! Steve ties up loose ends and asks the question, “Are Catholics required to believe things the apostles never taught?” We examine teachings about Mary, saints, church authority, apostolic succession, and how faulty reasoning can turn extra-biblical ideas into required doctrine.
