Many Christians just take it for granted that God changes us to bring us closer to Him. But many don’t actually know what it MEANS to be changed — the technical term is “justified” — by God.

The answer isn’t as easy as it sounds; Protestants and Catholics have two different answers to the ju...

Have you ever said, “I don’t have time to pray”? I have — way too many times.

That’s like saying we don’t have time to breathe. Without air, we die. Without prayer, we die spiritually.

My long-time friend Scott Powell is here to give us a reality check about our prayer lives. Be warned, he...

Masculinity is under attack right now. Organizations are trying to break down the family, men are told that their nature is “toxic,” and marriage is collapsing at the feet of broken husbands. We can’t afford to keep suffering from mediocre men.

Fortunately, that doesn’t have to be the end of t...

A few weeks ago, I did a solo show to tell you why the world needs YOU to share the gospel. Now I'm going to explain how to do it. Christ has entrusted us with a role in His salvation plan and we MUST take part in it. Souls are on the line.

I'm by myself again to offer some stories and crucia...

God reveals himself through stories, especially the stories of the saints. That's why I asked legendary storyteller Paul McCusker to talk about his new audio drama, "Joan of Arc."

Paul was one of the founders of the Christian audio drama series "Adventures in Odyssey." He now works with the Au...

As Christians, we're called by Christ to spread the message of His love to the four corners of the Earth. That doesn't make it easy; the world hates us, and many people don't have an interest in learning about a "hateful" community.

But we still have to try to reach them. That's why I'm on m...

Art is a powerful tool for growing closer to God. When we come into contact with a beautiful art piece, we learn something about the author of beauty: God Himself.

That’s why I had professional artist (and my personal friend) Ted Schnack on the show. Tune in to hear how he seeks inspiration fr...

Sometimes it can be tempting to think of the people in prison as mere criminals, with few redeeming qualities and no rights to our compassion or love. But oftentimes these people are suffering, ill and have nowhere to go; we need to remember that they still have dignity as persons.

That’s why ...

The world is inherently beautiful, but artists create even more beauty to further remind us of the awesomeness of God. Catholic artist, and my sister, Elizabeth Zelasko’s iconography captures the eloquence of the Faith in exquisite detail. Through her work, Elizabeth evangelizes the Faith as she...

The Saints, Youth Ministry and Our Lady of Guadalupe w/Eddie Cotter | Chris Stefanick Show

One of the greatest gifts God has given us is his mother, Mary. But how to have a true devotion to her isn’t always obvious. That’s why one of my best friends, Eddie Cotter, is back to give us even more ...

A lot of misconceptions exist about St. Patrick and his feast day in modern America. Instead of celebrating one of the greatest missionaries in the history of the Church, people tend to observe St. Patrick’s Day by indulging, but there’s so much more to know about St. Patrick than a shamrock and ...

“In good times and in bad” (or some variant) is a vital part of the marriage vows every Catholic couple says on their wedding day.

But sometimes those “bad times” are actually much worse than we expect. Coldness, selfishness, infidelity and more can make many couples’ marriages go from a fa...

This week, we have another top athlete with us. She is a former Division I soccer player at the University of Connecticut. Samantha Kelley is the president of FIERCE athlete, a program designed to help women understand their femininity in the context of athletic competition.

Samantha knows th...

We always say that conversion is a possibility for anyone. But it can be tempting to think that there’s no hope for some people.

Dr. Joseph Pearce used to be one of those people. He used to be a white supremacist neo-Nazi, and even spent time in prison.

Now?

He’s one of the top Cathol...

People everywhere try to change their lives with New Year’s resolutions. Maybe you’ve made some yourself.

The problem? Real change is hard. Like, REALLY hard. Which is why most New Year’s resolutions fail by February.

But if you’ve failed at your resolutions, it doesn’t make you bad or laz...

We can all use some hope. Lucky for us, Pope Benedict XVI wrote a whole encyclical about it.

So in honor of his recent passing, we’re going to explore what this great pope said about the virtue of hope.

And to do that, we’re joined by Fr. Brian Larkin, who is a priest in the Archdiocese of...

You’ve heard about the New Evangelization. But it’s really nothing new. You could say it kicked off back in the 1530s.

That’s when Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared.

Even though it was hundreds of year ago, the world was eerily similar to today: thousands of people leaving the Church, and cul...

You’ve almost definitely heard of Lord of the Rings; it’s pretty much the greatest fantasy epic in the history of Western Literature.

But do you know about its Catholic influence?

Joseph Pearce, one of the top Catholic intellectuals in the world and a leading Tolkien scholar, is joining ...

When we last talked to Jeremy Rivera, he told us about his wild and wonderful journey back to the Catholic Church.

But that wasn’t the end of the story.

Returning to Catholicism was great for Jeremy, but it wasn't just “happily ever after.” He had to figure out how to have the kind of life ...

Nobody likes a grumpy saint.

You could be the most pious person walking the face of the Earth. But if you're a spiritual curmudgeon, then you’re kinda missing the whole point.

Because God wants you to HAVE FUN!

Like St. Teresa of Avila once said, “A sad nun is a bad nun.”
In fact, havin...

What is salvation?

If we get anything right in our faith, it should be this. And yet, most Catholics don’t have a clear idea of what salvation means. Especially when a non-Catholic challenges them with the question “Are you saved?”

In this episode, Dr. Michael Barber unpacks the Church’s te...

We live in a world where anything goes, but nothing is forgiven. (We even have a new word for it: “cancel culture.”)

Amazingly, a lot of Christians (even Catholics) believe there are people out there who shouldn’t be forgiven.

So in this episode, we reflect on:
What real forgiveness is, ...

We all know the Bible says to “love your neighbor as yourself.”

But here’s the funny thing: We’re usually better at loving our neighbor than loving ourselves!

Sure, we all get a little down on ourselves sometimes. But God doesn’t want you to constantly focus on what’s wrong with yourself. H...
