Stephen Colbert joins host Jim Martin, S.J., on “The Spiritual Life”!
Colbert is well-known for his satirical comedy on The Colbert Report and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The conversation dives into:
- The personal tragedy that marked Colbert’s boyhood- losing his father and two brothers in a plane crash – and how his mother’s faith helped shape his spiritual perspective.
- The atheism that plagued his college years and what brought Colbert back to his Catholic faith.
- The interplay between Colbert’s Catholicism and his comedy
