I’ve said it before, guys, and I’ll say it again: Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good, He came to make dead people ALIVE! That is surely the case with my good friend, Jim Wahlberg.
Jim is the exact middle child of THE famous Wahlberg family. He started getting involved in drinking and crime at a very young age and by age twelve, he was a ward of the state. He spent years in-and-out of prison and even time in solitary confinement before he was 30.
It was during one of his prison sentences where he picked up a job as a custodian for a Catholic priest at the prison chapel and Jim’s life changed FOREVER. He was introduced to the forgiveness and love of Jesus! We talk about meeting Mother Teresa, being “Mom’s favorite,” and his current work in filmmaking and on Jesus Thirsts: the Miracle of the Eucharist.
Jim’s story is one of God’s redemption and healing goodness, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

The Jim Walhberg Story: Conversion in Prison, Now a Catholic Filmmaker

When was the last time you prayed a rosary? Whether it’s been a day, a week, or many years, there’s no better time than NOW to pray one! We usually talk about God on this show, today we’re going to talk TO Him!
If you aren’t familiar, the rosary is an ancient prayer based in scripture. The Hail Mary and the Our Father are taken straight from the Gospels.These well-known prayers function as a background to meditate upon mysteries that are based on the life of Christ, taken from scripture.
 To help keep you even more focused on the beautiful mysteries in the rosary, I’m going to read a bit of scripture between each Hail Mary using the Rosary app. If you’ve never prayed the rosary this way before, it’s a fun and new way to explore this ancient practice!
 Today we are praying the Joyful Mysteries of the rosary, which are commonly prayed on Monday and Saturday. The other mysteries are the Sorrowful Mysteries (Tuesday and Friday), the Glorious Mysteries (Wednesday and Saturday) and the Luminous Mysteries (Thursday).

Pray With Me! Scriptural Rosary | Joyful Mysteries


I usually don’t jump into cultural commentary, but this one’s worth talking about. First of all because it’s probably the most talked about, specifically Catholic graduation speech in my lifetime. The things he gets right are spot on. The things he gets wrong are way off. Both provide a teaching moment that we need to pay attention to.
 
 Note: While my critique of some of his points is important, the cultural context (and arguably more important issue) is this: Harrison Butker had the courage to speak his mind on important issues. THIS is lacking today. We need to learn from THAT. And we need to stand against all efforts to cancel/dox/shove people out of existence who do that. Or we’re next.
 
 After listening, you might think I get things right and wrong! Fair enough! Leave comments. Let’s talk! I’ll jump in and read them.

Guys, I am so excited to share this episode with you! We’re doing things a little differently this week, but there have been some interesting cultural moments recently and I really want to share my thoughts with you. Ready for a chat?
 First, I want to talk about Joe Rogan’s interview with Kid Rock. Kid gave some great arguments defending his Christian beliefs, but I have some tips to help make them even stronger. Next, we talk about what to do when you witness to friends and family and they say “Eh, I’m good.” And finally, we’ll round it out with my thoughts on O.J. Simpson, because if you’re in my generation, EVERYONE remembers watching the Ford Bronco car chase the subsequent trial.

Sunday School with Joe Rogan, Kid Rock, and O.J. Simpson?

I am so excited to bring back Dr. Peter Malinoski for a THIRD appearance on the Chris Stefanick Show! Dr. Malinoski is a clinical psychologist, president and co-founder of Souls and Hearts, and host of the Interior Integration for Catholic Podcast. He has worked with patients in his private practice for more than 20 years.
Today, we are discussing scrupulosity. Do you know someone who is VERY strict with their spiritual and moral practices, to the point where you think it might be a problem? Or, do YOU sometimes struggle with feelings of unworthiness of our Heavenly Father’s love? If so, this episode is for you. Scrupulosity is a spiritual and psychological affliction that can sprout from a desire to be pious and virtuous, and can be associated with obsessive compulsive behaviors. Dr Malinoski and I discuss the roots of this affliction, how to combat it, and how to find a solid therapist who respects your Catholic faith to help you overcome it.
Let me be perfectly clear: our Heavenly Father DELIGHTS in you and wants you to live a life full of happiness and desires to spend all of eternity with you in Heaven! No matter your past or your faults, you are precious in His sight. If you or someone you love struggles with this affliction, please share this video with them. ❤️
