The Jimmy Akin Podcast | Episode 100 (September 7, 2026)

Celebrate 100 episodes as Jimmy Akin answers the questions you sent. He shares his preliminary research on the Tilma of Guadalupe and whether the earliest testimony points to a human painter. He explains why St. John Paul II said nuclear deterrence can be morally acceptable, discusses Catholic ghost hunting and EVPs, and explains Schrödinger’s cat. He also unpacks the Fall and evolution, the Book of Tobit’s fish guts and dog, limbo, the mysterious word in the Our Father, and how Genesis quietly dismantles pagan gods. Careful, sourced, and unexpectedly fun.
