Guys, I have been all over the world, but one of the most life-changing experiences I have ever had was my 2018 trip to Haiti. It blew my mind that a place of such profound suffering and poverty also was filled with such profound JOY. It really put into perspective for me the things that matter in this life and the things that really don’t. This trip affected me so deeply that our Missionaries of Joy donors now fund a full-time doctor to work at the clinic I visited in the show. I’m excited to bring you along on this trip, and I hope you’re as inspired by this trip as I have been!

Do you ever feel like you met a saint in real life? That’s what it’s like to talk with Immaculée Ilibagiza.

Immaculée was in college when the Rwandan Genocide broke out in 1994. Her parents and brother were killed by people they knew who had turned to the side of the government. She hid in a neighbor’s small bathroom with seven other women, barely saying a word for three months just to stay alive. I mean, can you IMAGINE what that was like?

We talk about her memories of the apparitions of Our Lady of Kibeho in 1982, her time hiding in that bathroom during the Rwandan genocide, her internal struggles with anger against her persecutors, and how she eventually came to FORGIVE her parents’ murderer. Stay tuned to the end, where Immaculée shares some words of encouragement when you feel like you can’t forgive those who have hurt you.

This is a heavy topic, but Immaculée’s love for Jesus and Our Lady are overflowing!

Guys, I CAN’T WAIT to share my latest guest with you!

While leading a pilgrimage to Italy last month (btw, join me on pilgrimage! https://RealLifeCatholic.com/pilgrima..., I met up with the mother of a SAINT—Antonia Salzano. Her son is Bl. Carlo Acutis, the first person of the millennial generation to be named a saint. Yes, that means a PlayStation is now a second-class relic!

If you have never heard of him, Carlo was born in 1991, and had a profound love of Jesus and the Holy Eucharist. He was a daily Communicant, loved to serve the poor, but also played video games and designed a website documenting Eucharistic miracles and approved Marian apparitions! He died from complications from leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15, was beatified in 2020, and will be officially canonized as a saint on October 20, 2024.

Meeting Mrs. Acutis was an unforgettable experience. We discussed how Carlo’s piety and virtue really saved her, what Carlo was like as a child, his love of the Holy Eucharist, what his final months were like, and how it feels to be the mom of a saint.

Stay tuned to the end, where Mrs. Acutis shares some words of encouragement for parents who have lost children, and a special prayer through Carlo’s intercession to help us grow in love and reverence for the Most Holy Eucharist.

Get ready, guys this episode is going to be wild! If you or someone you love is struggling with your gender identity, listen to this podcast! Today on the Chris Stefanick Show, we have my good friend, Jason Evert. Jason has given talks on chastity, purity, and the nature and dignity of men and women for more than 20 years now. His most recent book, "Male, Female, Other? A Catholic Guide to Understanding Gender" is a well-researched guide to modern gender theory and a blueprint for responding to gender theory with charity and clarity. We dive right in, discussing the roots and history of gender theory, how many genders are there, what actual peer-reviewed studies say about kids with gender dysphoria, how to respond to those in your own life as Jesus would, AND the time actual witches tried to disrupt Jason’s speaking tour of Australia (and how it failed!). Gender theory is a intense and heavy topic, but Jason’s optimism and unfailing joy make this a super fun and engaging interview. Let’s dive in!

If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend! And thank you to our Missionaries of Joy for making all this possible.

I am SO excited for you guys to meet my guest this week! Kalashi Duraiswami grew up Hindu, in the highest caste, Brahmin. He became an entrepreneur as a teenager, and eventually a tech giant in Silicon Valley who could have retired at 31. But he was so unhappy and enslaved to his desires. Then he found Jesus, and everything changed. What do Hindus really believe? What is the caste system and does it really matter to Hindus today? Are ALL religions equal, and is it arrogant to say that Christianity is more right than other religions? Is the fast life of startups and high-paying tech jobs of Silicon Valley ALL it's cracked up to be? And what’s the secret to Indians being SO successful in America?! We get into all of this and more this week on the Chris Stefanick Show. Kailash’s conversion story is a beautiful one of a devout Hindu upbringing, to atheism as a young adult, to eventually finding rest in the Catholic Church. I can’t wait for you to meet him! If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend! And thank you to our Missionaries of Joy for making all this possible.

I’ve said it before, guys, and I’ll say it again: Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good, He came to make dead people ALIVE! That is surely the case with my good friend, Jim Wahlberg.

Jim is the exact middle child of THE famous Wahlberg family. He started getting involved in drinking and crime at a very young age and by age twelve, he was a ward of the state. He spent years in-and-out of prison and even time in solitary confinement before he was 30.

It was during one of his prison sentences where he picked up a job as a custodian for a Catholic priest at the prison chapel and Jim’s life changed FOREVER. He was introduced to the forgiveness and love of Jesus! We talk about meeting Mother Teresa, being “Mom’s favorite,” and his current work in filmmaking and on Jesus Thirsts: the Miracle of the Eucharist.

Jim’s story is one of God’s redemption and healing goodness, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist is in theaters TODAY: https://jesusthirstsfilm.com/

When was the last time you prayed a rosary? Whether it’s been a day, a week, or many years, there’s no better time than NOW to pray one! We usually talk about God on this show, today we’re going to talk TO Him!

If you aren’t familiar, the rosary is an ancient prayer based in scripture. The Hail Mary and the Our Father are taken straight from the Gospels.These well-known prayers function as a background to meditate upon mysteries that are based on the life of Christ, taken from scripture.

To help keep you even more focused on the beautiful mysteries in the rosary, I’m going to read a bit of scripture between each Hail Mary using the Rosary app. If you’ve never prayed the rosary this way before, it’s a fun and new way to explore this ancient practice!

Today we are praying the Joyful Mysteries of the rosary, which are commonly prayed on Monday and Saturday. The other mysteries are the Sorrowful Mysteries (Tuesday and Friday), the Glorious Mysteries (Wednesday and Saturday) and the Luminous Mysteries (Thursday).
