The Catholic Accent Podcast
The Catholic Accent Podcast dives into the moments in Scripture that left everyone stunned — from miraculous healings to bold acts of faith that changed history. Hosted by Jordan Whiteko with Father Andrew Hamilton and Father Christopher Pujol, each episode unpacks the wonder of God’s work in a way that’s real, relatable, and just a little unexpected.
This isn’t your average Bible study — it’s faith with personality. You’ll laugh, learn, and maybe even see yourself in the disciples who were constantly surprised by what God could do. Whether it’s the storms, the sermons, or the stunning transformations, these conversations show that the same Spirit that moved the early Church is still moving today.
