About This Podcast

Catechism 101 is a straightforward, down-to-earth podcast series from Qurbana Media that walks you through the heart of the Catholic faith, straight from the Catechism. Hosted by Abbot Ankido Sipo—the same voice you know from Feeding Fathers and Martyr Mentality—each lecture takes you deep into one big piece of what we believe in easy-to-follow episodes.

We kick things off with "The Creed"—that “I believe” part we say together at Mass every Sunday and pray in the Rosary. You’ll hear about where the Apostles’ Creed (the short, ancient one) and the Nicene Creed (the longer one we use at Mass) came from, why the early Church needed them, and how they helped shut down big misunderstandings like Arianism. Our first multi-week series will break down the Creed into about 10 episodes.

Whether you’ve been Catholic your whole life, you’re coming back to the faith, you’re exploring it for the first time, or you just want to understand what we actually believe and why, this is for you. No jargon overload—just clear, honest teaching rooted in Scripture, Tradition, and the Church’s own voice.

New episodes drop weekly, and each series runs about 10–12 weeks before we move on to the next big topic: the Sacraments, the Commandments, Prayer, and more. Great for your commute, a walk, the gym, or just quiet time with coffee.
