Chris Stefanick Catholic Show

December 12 is the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, marking 493 years since our Blessed Mother appeared to St. Juan Diego and initiated the largest mass conversion to Christianity EVER. If you don’t know how AMAZING the story of the apparitions of Mary, the miracle of Juan Diego’s tilma, and how God intervened in a contentious relationship between Aztecs and Spanish colonists, your mind will be BLOWN. You guys, I am so excited to share this episode with you, that I filmed at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe! I touch on the complex issue of colonialism (it’s not as black and white as you’d think), the story of a lowly farmer who was visited by the Mother of God, and truly AWESOME facts discovered about the tilma over the centuries. Plus, I share some lessons from Our Lady of Guadalupe that are just as relevant today. Let’s dive right in!

You know him, you love him! I am so happy to bring back my good friend Fr. Mike Schmitz. Did you know that, in addition to his podcasts and YouTube videos, Fr. Mike is a spiritual father to hundreds of students? It’s true! He has been the campus minister at the University of Minnesota Duluth Newman Center for 20 years! We talk about how campus ministry has changed, how to get through to the “nones” (those who identify with no religious affiliation), and we offer some hope and advice for parents who want to ensure that their college-aged and young adult children stay close to the Lord. Plus, I am so excited to share Fr. Mike’s newest adventure! The Newman Center at UMD has outgrown its very small space (the chapel can fit only 60 people!) and Fr. Mike is on a mission so that no soul at UMD has to be turned away for lack of space. UMD Newman is fundraising to build a new, amazing, HUGE facility that is a beacon of Catholicism on campus! My conversation with Fr. Mike is so blessed, as always! If you’re struggling with motivation and hope, no matter your state in life, please know that there is hope and consolation and immense JOY in our God. Support Fr. Mike’s mission today: https://bulldogcatholic.org/seeds-of-...

Happy Thanksgiving, guys! Before we dive into turkey, football, and pumpkin pie, let’s take a second to remember what we’re even celebrating in the first place—gratitude for all of the AMAZING gifts God has given to us. Even if you have had a very tough year, there are still fantastic blessings that the Lord has placed in your life. You may not realize this, but we actually OWE gratitude to God and the people around us, and that is a fantastic thing! In this one-on-one episode, I talk about the Christian roots of Thanksgiving, my recent AWESOME visit to Colby, Kansas, why practicing gratitude really RESHAPES our lives, and why just “being a good person” without God doesn’t cut it. Plus, we dive into a spicy Q & A session where I respond to some of your comments and questions on my recent videos. Don’t miss this uplifting and inspiring episode to get your mind and heart right before going into the holiday weekend. Happy Thanksgiving, and may your heart be filled with gratitude and JOY!

Damien Walker is saving the world through beauty. In the aftermath of the catastrophic earthquake in his hometown of Christchurch, New Zealand in 2011, Damien began restoring the sacred statues in his local church. What started as a hobby became a “field hospital for sacred art,” and now Damien had the largest statuary in the Southern Hemisphere! We talk about how he uses beautiful sacred heart to bring souls to Christ, why beauty will save the world (and why the Devil despises it), how to combat the distractions of modern life with the timeless beauty of the Church, and most notably, Damien’s commission from the bishops of New Zealand to create the AMAZING image of Our Lady of New Zealand. And as always, don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe to our YouTube channel so you never miss an episode of the Chris Stefanick Show!
