Chris Stefanick Catholic Show

Is Pope Francis the real Pope? How do we know? It seems there’s a growing number of Catholics online questioning the papacy, and we’re here to set the record straight. I brought on my dear friend, Dr. Michael Sirilla, a theology professor at my alma mater, Franciscan University of Steubenville, to not only answer the internet’s hottest questions about the Pope, but to clarify what modern Catholics may not know about the office. There are a lot of Catholics confused and hurt right now about current events in the Church, and we’re here to talk about it with love and truth. I can’t wait for you to dive in!   ........   ❤️ The episode was made possible by our Missionaries of Joy.

Happy (almost) Thanksgiving! This channel is all about finding and living out the joy in Catholic life, and with the holidays coming up, I wanted to give you some tools for dealing with family members who may have narcissistic tendencies. It’s a helpful skill to have in your tool belt, especially this time of year! I’m so excited to share this conversation with my guest, Dr. Peter Malinoski. He is a clinical psychologist who is an expert in loving people out of narcissism. We talk about how to identify a narcissist, how to heal from narcissism, and how to find healing if you’ve been hurt by a narcissist. My hope is that you’re able to use this episode to maintain a fresh perspective going into the holiday season, where you might find yourself in social situations where this will be helpful!   ........   ❤️ The episode was made possible by our Missionaries of Joy.

Let's get personal with Fr. Mike Schmitz in Part TWO of our amazing conversation! If you can’t tell, Fr. Mike’s joy and love for the Lord is SO contagious!

I am so excited to share my newest episode with you! Today, I’m sitting down with THE Fr. Mike Schmitz, at his father's cabin! I’ve known Father Mike for a long time, and it’s such a blessing to share this conversation with you. We chat about Fr. Mike’s daily routine (and his love for CrossFit), his relationships with his family, and stay tuned to the end where he shares amazing advice for parents, catechists and teachers.   ........   ❤️ The episode was made possible by our Missionaries of Joy.

In the spookiest episode to date, we sit down with my friend, Fr. Chad Ripperger, who is a REAL LIFE exorcist. You guys, Christ literally uses him to liberate souls from demons! While this episode does talk about some serious situations, we’re not going to get into the crazy stuff you see in scary movies. Spiritual warfare is a REAL thing and it’s time to put on the armor of God and protect ourselves! This is such an amazing conversation with Fr. Chad about fear and how to overcome your fears. As he explains, the evil one tries to play on your fears to separate you from the Lord. We talk about why that happens and practical advice for staying close to God, because Christ already won the battle against evil.

Are you guys ready for this? This is a very special episode that is near and dear to my heart. I got to sit down with Fr. Michael O’Loughlin, a great friend of mine. Fr. Michael is the pastor at the Proto-Cathedral of St. Mary in Los Angeles. He recently drove six hours to be with my mother-in-law in the final hours of her life and subsequently celebrated her funeral Mass. We’re sitting down to talk about death. Nobody like talking about it, but we’ve all got to face it eventually. This is such a beautiful conversation, and we touch on things like how to live our lives as Catholics without a fear or anxiety of death, what a priest actually does when he administers Viaticum (also known as “last rites”), and how to memorialize the dead in our everyday lives to remember those who have gone before us. I will admit, this is a tough topic to talk about for some, but when we approach death as the holy experience that it is, that fear is replaced with the grace and loving mercy of the Lord! ........ ❤️ The episode was made possible by our Missionaries of Joy.

I’m so excited for you guys to see this latest episode! I sat down with my friends Jim Beckman and Fr. Ken Geraci and discussed seven key scripture passages that deal with forgiveness and healing. As we go through these Scripture passages, we talk about opening ourselves up to forgive, letting God’s mercy heal us, and so much more. This episode does get a little deep, but it is so worth the listen! You guys, God loves you so much. I want you to know that whatever has happened to you or whatever you have been through, the Lord is ready to take that journey of healing and forgiveness with you. He calls us all to forgive and everybody has got to forgive somebody, so let’s dive into the spiritual freedom that comes with it! ❤️ This conversation is a part of "As We Forgive Those," a FREE Real Life Catholic study series on forgiveness that was inspired by an experience I had recently that was so powerful, I knew I just had to share it with you.

Today, we’re talking all about masculinity. So often in this world, the word “masculinity” is preceded by the word “toxic.” Not today! When men’s tendencies and attitudes are nourished and raised up in light of the Gospels and in light of Christ’s teaching, we make the culture more BEAUTIFUL. Men and boys are NOT a fire to be put out. Men, the Church needs YOU to grow and give yourself as a gift the way Christ gave Himself as a gift. Then, I share with you a talk I recently gave about how a generation of young men are being told they are BAD and TOXIC and are left asking the question, “who AM I supposed to be?” There is hope! There are role models of what it means to be a true MAN. One fantastic example of Catholic manhood is St. Maximilian Kolbe, who left the Commander at Auschwitz SHAKING in his boots because of his fierce love of Christ. Finally, I leave you with the model of masculinity and self-gift: Christ Himself This episode is full of TRUTH, and I hope you love it just as much as I do! ........

I can’t wait to share this week’s episode with you guys! First, I talk about how the world will hate you for standing up for what is right—and YOU should do it ANYWAYS. Next, I share a clip from a talk I gave about how the world hates men who say the word, “NO.” So often in today’s culture, we are called to draw boundaries. We can feel like a tiny David against the Goliath of Cancel Culture and the Internet. The culture tries to weed out men who stand up for the little guy, but it’s important to remain STRONG! Then, I catch up with Mark Houck. Mark is a husband, father, Catholic, and pro-lifer. You might remember him from last year, when the FBI raided his house early one morning as his family was just waking up and brought him in for defending his son. Mark Houck gives us the FULL STORY on what exactly happened that morning and why it is so important to be a voice for the most vulnerable members of society. Both as a father, and as a pro-lifer. Finally, I have a message for my haters But you have to watch to the end to find out what it is! ........   ❤️ The episode was made possible by our Missionaries of Joy.

Your pain, your suffering is not a sign that God has abandoned you. That is a lie! Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not have to, He suffered so that you would know how to. God redeems every single experience that you can possibly have, including suffering. Even at death, at your final moment, you are there with Jesus who is there to carry us to eternal life. In suffering we find STRENGTH, and in suffering we find JOY. In this episode, I sit down with two students at Ave Maria University who are showing me what this means. One student has a congenital joint disorder, and another who is paralyzed from the waist down from a tragic car accident. While this sounds like it could be a sad and depressing episode, Ella Rose and Adrian’s JOY and LOVE for the Lord is downright contagious! I can’t wait for you to meet them, be blessed by their stories, and be inspired to unite your suffering to the Lord in your own life. Also, I share an update on my own daughter’s battle with MS and how she is #MSstong and strong in her faith. She also has some exciting news to share! And know that, whatever you’re going through, God loves YOU and desires to be with YOU in the midst of it all.   ........   ❤️ The episode was made possible by our Missionaries of Joy.
