A 7-Year-Old's Heroism Will Convict You

What Escaping a Cult Taught Me About God | Interview with Ex-Jehovah's Witness Dr. Cary
He was raised as a third-generation Jehovah's Witness, with his entire family inside the organization. His stepfather was an elder. Leaving meant losing everything — and he knew it from age 12.
Today, Dr. Cary is a theology professor at Walsh University, and a devoted Catholic. And in this episode, he pulls back the curtain on everything.

A Few Breaths: What Baby Margaret's Death Taught Me About Fear and Eternity
What if you've been afraid of the wrong things your whole life?
This week's Gospel has Jesus telling his disciples — who would go on to die gruesome deaths for their faith — "Do not be afraid." But he also tells them there is one thing worth fearing: the one who can throw both body and soul into Gehenna.
Chris reflects on this Gospel from a deeply perso

Why the Church Celebrates a Heart (Not a Brain) | Sacred Heart Sunday Reflection
Every June, the Church celebrates the Sacred Heart of Jesus — and this Sunday's Gospel shows us Jesus moved with compassion for the crowds, like sheep without a shepherd. But why the heart? Why not the Sacred Intellect or the Sacred Will?
In this Sunday reflection, Chris unpacks why the Church's devotion to the Sacred Heart isn't sentimentalism — it's a

Lonely-Proofing Yourself and the World
"God so loved the world." That's not just a feel-good phrase — it's the perfect summary of who God is. And understanding it might be the key to fighting the loneliness epidemic tearing our culture apart.
The Trinity — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — is a communion of persons. Three persons, one God. And because we are made in the image of that God, we ar

Why Hating Your Worst Self Is Making Everything Worse | Dr. Peter Malinoski
What if the reason you keep struggling with the same sins, the same patterns, and the same emotional reactivity has nothing to do with a lack of willpower—and everything to do with a lack of interior integration?

Leading With the Heart in an Age of Selfishness | Tommy Spaulding
In this powerful new episode of The Chris Stefanick Show, I sit down with New York Times bestselling author Tommy Spaulding to talk about his book The Heart-Led Leader—and why the path to real success runs through your heart, not your ego.
Tommy's story floored me.
He was a severely dyslexic kid who was openly mocked by his classmates. He graduated at t
You’ve Never Seen the Holy Spirit This Way (and It Can Change Your Life)
Jesus says something extraordinary in John 14: "If you love me, keep my commands. I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Paraclete to be with you forever." Most of us have heard that word — Paraclete — without ever really sitting with what it means. I guarantee that if you've been Catholic for 20, 40, even 90 years, you may have never heard

Stop Trying to Figure it Out
There's an old Greek storytelling trick called Deus ex machina—"God from the machine."
When the playwright wrote his characters into a corner he couldn't get them out of, he'd just lower a god onto the stage on a crane, and boom—everything's fixed. Aristotle called it lazy writing.
But here's the thing: the Bible is full of Deus ex machina moments. Not
The Hidden Addiction in Fitness Culture That No One Talks About
Most people don’t even know men can have eating disorders.

My father-in-law was just baptized at 85!
My father-in-law was just baptized. At 85 years old. Watch this week's reflection to hear the whole story—and why it matters for you right now.

Divine Mercy Sunday: What You Need to Know | Fr. Chris Alar
I'm going to be honest with you—you might be a little frustrated after watching this. But only because you didn't know it sooner.
There is one day every year when Jesus promised that any Catholic who goes to confession and receives Holy Communion will receive the complete forgiveness of all sin and all punishment.
Not just forgiveness. Complete wiping o
The Shroud of Turin: 15 Facts Science Still Can't Explain
The Shroud of Turin is the most studied artifact in human history—and after hundreds of thousands of research hours across dozens of scientific disciplines, no one can explain it.
In this special episode of the Chris Stefanick Show, I dive deep into the evidence that this ancient linen cloth is the burial—and resurrection—cloth of Jesus Christ.

Stop Giving Yourself a Free Pass | Palm Sunday Reflection
Every person who nailed Jesus to the cross thought they were a pretty good person. The soldiers? Just doing their job. The Pharisees? Protecting the system. Pontius Pilate? Just trying to keep his career on track. They all gave themselves a free pass. And we do the exact same thing. Listen to my Palm Sunday reflection to hear why that matters, and why i
The Science of Motivation and Doing What You Should | Dr. Tom Zimmer

This episode is packed with inspiration for anyone who has ever felt unq
God Is Not Punishing You (The Truth About Suffering)
Why does God allow suffering?
It’s one of the deepest questions every human heart asks. When things fall apart—when illness hits, relationships break, or life throws unexpected curveballs—it’s natural to wonder: Did I do something wrong? Is God punishing me?
The disciples asked Jesus the same question when they saw a man born blind: “Who sinned, this ma
Jeremy Rivera's Journey From Evangelical Pastor to Catholic
Jeremy Rivera was an evangelical pastor who was convinced Catholics didn't really know Jesus.
Then he became one.
In this new episode, Jeremy shares how honest conversations about authority, Mary, and the Eucharist led him back to the Catholic Church—and why true renewal begins with a personal encounter with Jesus Christ.
His journey to the Catholic
Why God Isn't Shocked By Your Sin | Woman at the Well Reflection
You are not too much for God.
In this Gospel reflection, we dive into one of the most powerful encounters in all of Scripture: Jesus and the woman at the well. At first glance, it looks like a simple conversation about water—but it’s actually a moment that reveals something shocking about God’s heart.
Jesus meets a woman who is hiding in shame, avoiding
80% of Deaths By Suicide Are Men. What Can We Do? | Dr. Alexandria Coursol
80% of deaths by suicide in the U.S. are men. Men account for over 90% of the prison population, and 149 of the last 155 mass shootings were carried out by men alone. But men are nearly half as likely as women to seek mental health treatment. So what's going on?
There's a male mental health collapse happening right now. What can we actually do about it
The Plan I Wanted vs. The Plan God Had
Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “Lord…this is not what I signed up for”? The apostles did. When Jesus told them He would suffer and die, Peter literally rebuked Him. That wasn’t the plan. They thought they were following a conquering king—not a suffering servant. And yet… just days later, Jesus takes them up a mountain and reveals His glo
From Losing a Child to Helping 60,000 Grieving Families | Mark Tripodi
Grief can destroy everything—your marriage, your faith, your identity. But what if God can use the worst thing that ever happened to you to build something beautiful?
In this powerful episode, Chris sits down with Mark Tripodi, who lost his 3-year-old son Bobby to bacterial meningitis 25 years ago. Mark shares the raw, real story of how that tragedy sha
Take Back Your Identity
Who told you who you are?
Because if it’s not God…you’ve been listening to the wrong voice.
The devil has a very thin playbook. His first move? Attack your identity. He did it in Genesis. He tried it on Jesus in the desert—every single temptation starting with the words, "If you are the Son of God..." He was trying to shake Jesus' sense of who he was. B
How An Atheist Reasoned Her Way to God | Leah Libresco Sargeant
From hardcore atheist to Catholic convert—author Leah Libresco Sargeant's journey is a story of intellectual rigor leading to faith.
In this powerful conversation, Leah explains how a math nerd intentionally raised as an atheist by her university professor parents discovered that moral truth points to God, why her atheism couldn't withstand philosophica
Jesus Didn't Abolish the Rules...He Raised the Bar
A lot of people think Jesus was anti-rules. He hated the Pharisees, dined with sinners—so He must be cool with whatever we want to do, right?
In this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus says something that should stop us in our tracks: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets." And then He doesn't just uphold the moral law—He raises the bar.
Our Bodies Tell the Story of God's Love | Christopher West on Theology of the Body

Christopher unpacks the revolutionary truth that our bodies aren't just biological accidents. They're a theology—a d
Your Faithfulness Is Changing the World (even from your living room)
Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world."
And if you're like most of us, you hear that and think, "Jesus, I love you, but... really? I'm just trying to keep my kids alive today. I'm the light of my living room on a good day. That's about it."
Here's the truth: When you're faithful right where you are—in that living roo
Why Criminals Confess (and you should, too) | Police Detective Jeff Wrigley
Why would anyone confess to a crime when they have the right to remain silent?
Former K-9 officer and white-collar detective Jeff Wrigley has spent years in the room where criminals confess—and he's discovered something shocking: most of them feel RELIEF when they finally tell the truth.
In this eye-opening conversation, Jeff reveals why guilt and sha
How God Meets You At Your Breaking Point
What do you do when everything just becomes too much?
This Sunday Reflection is deeply personal, as lately God has been bringing me right up to the edge of my own strength—physically, emotionally, spiritually. In prayer, I was reminded of something we all need to remember when we reach our breaking point:
You were never meant to be your own source.

These Things Drive Priests Crazy with Fr. Leo Patalinghug
You probably have a litany of complaints about your priest. But what does your priest think about YOU?
In this episode, I sat down with Fr. Leo Patalinghug (yes, the priest who beat Bobby Flay), and I gave him permission to unload.
This priest chef turns the tables to serve up an honest assessment of the parishioner behaviors that drain the life out of
Feeling Small? Here's What God Thinks of You
Have you ever felt small? Like just one person among nearly 8 billion—how could you possibly matter?
That's no doubt how the apostles felt...fishermen of little consequence by the world's standards.
Until Jesus called them by using a phrase that rabbis would use to call specially gifted students: "Come follow me."
They were hearing something they'd drea
What the Catholic Church REALLY Says About Suicide | Fr. Chris Alar

I sit down with Fr. Chris Alar, author of After Suicide, to unpack what the Catholic Church actually teaches: why sui
Lessons in Joy from a Child's Funeral
I recently had the honor of being at the funeral of Micah Kim, the five-year-old son of my friend Paul J. Kim. And I don’t use the word honor lightly.
Because while the pain of losing a child is unimaginable…what I witnessed there was just as unimaginable: JOY.
At Micah’s wake, Paul stood next to his son’s casket—his little body dressed in cowboy boots—
You’re Not Abandoned in the Hardest Moments
When most people think about where God is, they look to the sky or point to a mountaintop. God is ON HIGH, right?
But the reality of the incarnation flips that vision upside down.
Christ dwelt among us. God came to the lowest of places to meet us in our brokenness and heal our sin.
Did you know the spot where Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River is li
God is Hiding in Plain Sight | Reflection on the Epiphany of the Lord
Have you ever noticed that when God shows up, he often does so in ways that are...completely ordinary?
Think about the Epiphany of the Lord that we are celebrating today. Angels fill the sky. A star bends the universe. Heaven breaks into earth. Kings come to pay homage.
And at the center of it all? A poor child. A nursing mother. A scene you could walk
How to Keep Your New Year's Resolution | Fr. Peter Mussett
Why do we keep confessing the same sins… making the same resolutions… and falling back into the same patterns?
In this practical and powerful episode of The Chris Stefanick Show, I sit down with Fr. Peter Mussett, a priest who has heard thousands of confessions—and has lots of advice to share about human nature, change, and mercy.
In this conversation,
Surviving Your Current Chaos with Confidence
Happy Feast of the Holy Family!
One of the most comforting truths of our faith is also one of the hardest to live. You’re not living the whole story — you’re living your current page.
One of the most powerful (and overlooked) truths of the Bible is typology—the way God weaves the same story across centuries, fulfilling promises in ways no human author c

What are you really worth? | Advent Reflection
As we draw close to the mystery of Christmas, we don’t just discover who God is—we discover who we are...and what we're worth.
When you look at the face of the Christ child in the manger, you’re not just seeing Emmanuel, God with us. You’re seeing your own value reflected back at you. Your worth is revealed by what God was willing to pay for you. And th
How You Influence 80,000 People with Tommy Spaulding
Picture a football stadium full of 80,000 people.
Research indicates that you will influence that many people during the course of your lifetime. (even if you don't have your own YouTube channel)
But who is in your stadium? And what does it sound like in there? Are people cheering for the ways you positively affected them? Are they booing for all the te
Stop Worrying About Your Legacy | Advent Reflection
It’s beautiful to want good things and to build a great life in our time on earth.
But here’s where it all gets twisted: When the dream stops being about God and the blessings He’s given us, and quietly becomes all about me—my security, my reputation, my legacy.
I’ve seen it in family life. I’ve seen it in ministry. I’ve seen it in my own heart.

Expert Tips on How to Love Yourself | Dr. Peter Malinoski

But what if the hardest person for you to love…is you?

The Headline That Changes Your Life | First Sunday of Advent
What story is dominating the headlines of your life? As we enter the Advent season, we are preparing our hearts to receive the ONLY headline that matters: Jesus is our savior.
And this headline should change EVERYTHING.

In the ancient world, a kerygma was a headline delive

Jesus is king. Full stop.
And it's not the typical kind of kingship. He doesn't ta
Overcoming Childhood Trauma Through Faith | Sr. Marilyn
As a 10-year-old, Sister Marilyn of the Sisters of Mary watched her father murdered by family friends—then grabbed his gun to take revenge and had her finger on the trigger.
Something stopped her in that moment, but the trauma of that experience hardened her heart with thoughts of anger and revenge. She felt like a failure and couldn't trust anyone.

Is It Awkward To Talk About Jesus? Do It Anyway!
Are you afraid it will get instantly awkward around the water cooler if you mention Jesus or talk about your faith?
Yeah, it might. And Jesus told us it would be this way! His message is uncomfortable because he claims divinity. If he is who he said he was, then it has to change everything. We have to change EVERYTHING about the way we are living. And a

Heaven on Earth: Saintly Relics and Your Call to Be the Church
On the Feast of the Dedication of the Basilica of St. John Lateran, Jesus reminds us: “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.”
He was speaking of his Body—and by baptism, you are joined to that Body. That means the Church is a living temple right now: the Church Triumphant (in heaven), the Church Suffering (in purgatory), and the Chur
The Good News About Death—Souls, Purgatory, and the Power of Prayer
What happens after we die?
If the answer is "nothing," then what are we doing here? The good news is that we ARE headed somewhere. Our Christian hope changes everything—we have our eyes fixed on heaven as a final destination.

How God Used a "Nobody" to Convert 10 Million People at Guadalupe
I’m so excited for you to watch this week’s Sunday Reflection that I filmed on a recent pilgrimage to Mexico City while literally climbing up Tepeyac Hill—the place where Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to St. Juan Diego in 1531.
The story of Juan Diego ties in perfectly to what Jesus tells us in the Gospel: “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and t

Stop Doing These 4 Things If You Want Lasting Change

Behind the Scenes of the Hallow App with Alex Jones
Unless you have been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of the Hallow prayer app. This wildly popular platform has grown exponentially over the past few years to help millions of people to pray—not to mention making a life of prayer more attractive and mainstream.
It’s a simple idea with profound results: use a smartphone app to guide people int
What Faith IS, What Faith ISN'T, and How to Grow in Faith
“If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains.”
But you can't have faith unless you know what it IS. And even a great mind like Jordan Peterson seems to be missing something in his definition. Faith can't be reduced to a moralistic view of obeying the rules and it demands that we let go of any skepticism about the existence of Go
The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto | Leah Libresco Sargeant
The world tells you that dependence is weakness, but it's actually what makes us human. The truth is, you can’t live without being dependent. From the moment we’re born to the moment we die, we’re relying on other people.
And that’s OK! In fact, it’s the way God intended.
In this episode of The Chris Stefanick Show, I sit down with Catholic writer Leah
Financial Tips from Jesus (Happiness Guaranteed!)
Can money actually buy happiness? Believe it or not—Jesus says yes.
In this reflection, Chris Stefanick unpacks Matthew 25 and Luke 16, where Jesus makes it clear: a big part of our final exam before God will be about whether or not we loved and served the poor.
The story of the rich man and Lazarus is a sobering reminder: if our hearts are closed to th
How Screens Are Rewiring Our Brains (and How to Fight Back)
Are TikTok and endless scrolling killing our ability to think, pray, and even enjoy life? The truth: yes. And it’s worse than you think. Entertainment isn’t entertaining anymore, it’s addicting. And it’s rewiring an entire generation.
What used to refresh us—stories, music, and conversation—has been replaced with noise that is designed to keep us hooked
Why God Keeps You Waiting (and how that prepares you for greatness)
We live in a culture that wants everything fast—success, influence, recognition. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but that's not always how God works. He grows things slowly, starting small and hidden, so they’re strong enough to last.
In this Sunday reflection, I’m sharing why being faithful in the “small things” matters more than you'll ever know. We’l
From Abortion to Mission: January Donovan’s Story of Redemption
