In this deeply personal episode, Chris reflects on Psalm 128 and the promise of a blessed home for those who fear the Lord and walk in his ways. He shares stories from a special week in his family’s life—his wife Jenny’s birthday, Mother’s Day, and the anniversary of their first date—and the simple but profound vocation captured in her note: “Let’s get to Heaven together.”

Chris also opens up about a season of intense darkness following his first marriage and divorce, including a near–suicide moment and a desperate cry for help. From there, he wrestles honestly with what Scripture and the Church say about divorce and remarriage and asks how we hold together Jesus’ hard words on marriage with the limitless mercy of God. Along the way he talks about being a “not‑so‑secret Catholic,” reading the Deuterocanon, praying the rosary as a lifelong Protestant, and the ongoing search for truth in the middle of denominational lines.

If you’ve ever carried shame over your past, questioned whether you are truly forgivable, or struggled to reconcile Jesus’ teaching on marriage with your own story, this episode invites you into a conversation about sin, mercy, and the hope of a future that’s still wide open in Christ.
