What if your next confession determined your eternity? In this unapologetic episode of Veritate, John recounts his first real encounter with Christ in the confessional; the night he stopped playing games with God and started fighting for his soul. From ancient Israel’s sacrificial rituals to the early Church’s public penance, to the modern collapse of the Sacrament, this episode unpacks what Confession really is: not therapy, not routine; but a battlefield of grace where souls are raised from the dead. Packed with Scripture, tradition, and fire, this is your call to war against sin, to kneel like a man, and to rise like a saint. Mercy isn’t cheap. It cost blood.

In this episode of Veritate, we confront one of the most contested and misunderstood teachings of the Catholic faith: the papacy. Is the Pope just a figurehead? A man-made invention? What about scandals, bad Popes, and Peter’s denial of Christ? We answer it all—clearly, boldly, and without compromise.

Drawing from Scripture, the Early Church Fathers, and 2,000 years of sacred Tradition, we explore why Christ chose Peter, gave him the keys, and established a visible head for His Church on Earth. We address the danger of private interpretation, the illusion of “Bible-alone” Christianity, and the chaos it breeds.

Whether you’re Catholic, Protestant, or just searching for truth in a sea of confusion—this episode will challenge what you’ve heard and point you toward what Christ actually established: one Church, one shepherd, and one visible source of unity.

Because where Peter is, there is the Church. And where the Church is, there is Christ.

In this episode of Veritate, Johnny Mack cuts through the lies poisoning the world and speaks the plain truth: you cannot serve both God and yourself. Christ said it clearly: no man can serve two masters. Yet today, even among those calling themselves Christian, the worship of self has replaced the worship of God. From abortion to gender ideology, from pornography to the cult of personal opinion, the world offers false freedom that is really slavery. This is a call to wake up, reject the soft counterfeit gospels, and return to the real Christ, the One who calls you to die to self, take up your cross, and follow Him. No compromise. No safe middle ground. You’re either with Him or against Him. Choose.
