Sometimes it can feel impossible to meet God in our daily lives.
Fitting real prayer in between our daily duties is difficult, and most of us don’t even know what it means to meditate on God’s presence. Fortunately, Fr. Timothy Gallagher is back with more incredible advice for meeting God in our own lives!
He’ll tell you about the awesome program for spirituality given to us by St. Ignatius of Loyola, which has formed Catholic heroes like St. Isaac Jogues, Mother Teresa and St. Francis de Sales. Better yet, he’ll give you an achievable plan for prayer so that you, too, can know what God is telling you.
A relationship with God is possible for all of us; listen to the show to learn how!

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.

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. ❤️

Scrupulosity: When Piety Becomes an Affliction ❤️

I can’t wait for you guys to meet my guest this week! Fr. Augustine Wetta is a great friend and his joy and love for the Lord are just contagious. He is a Benedictine monk, lover of obscure saints, and author of Pray. Think. Act. Make Better Decisions with the Desert Fathers. He’s also living with early onset parkenson’s…which makes his contageous joy that much more inspiring.
 Today, we talk about some of Fr. Augustine’s favorite saints (did you know there’s a Patron saint of “unattractive people”?), his love of the Desert Fathers, who nicknamed themselves the Athletae Dei, “the Athletes of God,” how to make and stick with big life decisions, and how to stay the course in your vocation when life gets tough.
 We had so much fun in our conversation, and we hope you have just as much fun watching!

Paralyzed by FoMO? Learn how to MAKE DECISIONS with the legendary Fr. Wetta (& the Desert Fathers)

I am SO excited to share this episode with your guys today! We’re bringing back Fr. Robert Spitzer, a Catholic priest, scientist and author to talk about the soul. How do we know it exists? Is it just some concept Christianity made up? How do we know the soul exists? 
 
Fr. Robert and I dig into how Plato and Aristotle and even cultures BEFORE the ancient Greeks knew that a soul exists, why monkeys and other animals don’t have souls, and how the fascinating data on near-death experiences ties in perfectly with Catholic theology.
 
This is such an interesting episode and it’s always wonderful talking to Fr. Robert. Learn more about his work at the Magis Center: www.magiscenter.com/
