Did you know that there are more martyrdoms in the 20th century than in all centuries of Christianity combined? It's true! It's really important that we become aware of what's going on in the world right now. Not only so that we can be inspired by these stories of faith right under our noses, but also so we can work for a better world. And so we can be on a watch for trends in Western Civilization that seem to tolerate violence and intolerance of Christians. All that and more in an interview with Gia Chacon on this episode of the Chris Stefanick Show. 

It shouldn’t be surprising that THE most important thing for our relationship with God is to talk to him. That’s why I’m alone today to talk about Prayer, why we need it and how to do it to best love the Lord.

You pull up to the street corner. There’s that grungy guy again, holding his cardboard sign.

You feel a nudge like you should help him somehow. But the idea scares you. So you avoid eye contact.

Jesus makes it crystal clear that we need to serve the poor. Yet every time we see an opportunity, we feel intimidated.

How do we get over that?

Take the advice of Blake Brouillette, a young man who’s the director of Christ in the City, a ministry to the poor. For eight years now, he’s been working with people on the streets.

That’s why he’s the perfect guy to tell you:

● How you should introduce yourself to a homeless person.
● What the poor really need, deep down (and so do you).
● Simple ways you can serve them like Jesus tells you.

You’ll want to remember this next time you see someone on a street corner.

The Shroud of Turin is the subject of a lot of rumors, myths, and controversies — maybe you’ve heard some of them yourself and don’t know what to believe. That’s why this week we have Fr. Robert Spitzer, a Jesuit scientist and scholar on the Shroud of Turin. He offers some amazing facts about the Shroud, including what we can learn about the Crucifixion from what we see on the cloth. We also talk about the infamous carbon dating claims (they’ve been scientifically debunked).

Happy Fourth of July!

It’s a good time to give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy in the United States.

So this week, I thought we'd revisit the chat I had with my friend and astronaut General Kevin Chilton. We talked about:

- The effect of family on your life.
- Finding your path with the help of faith (and a little common sense).
- Things we can all look back on and be grateful for.

Kick back, relax, and enjoy the episode!
