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!

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).

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.

️ Listen to 3-Minute Reset, my NEW podcast with Pat Lencioni for working Christians:

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. ❤️

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!
