How did the Catholic martyrs find the courage they needed to die for their faith? Kimberly Begg joins Conor to discuss the extraordinary courage of Joan of Arc, José Sánchez del Río, Jerzy Popiełuszko, and more. From Joan leading armies at 16 years old to young martyrs dying for Christ under communist persecution, this episode explores how courage, holiness, and steadfast faith are formed — and why these stories matter now more than ever.

After leaving Islam and falling into atheism and hedonism, Ismail Youssef never expected Catholicism to become the answer. Raised in a devout Sunni Muslim family and educated in the Quran, Ishmael shares the powerful story of how historical questions about Muhammad, a haunting dream of the Crucifixion, and an intense investigation into the Resurrection ultimately led him to Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church. Ismail’s message is a wake up call for all Christians in the West to take the reality of Islam seriously, before it is too late.

Fr. John Putnam, a priest of 34 years in the Diocese of Charlotte, might not be a priest today if it were not for a visit to Fatima as a seminarian. In this powerful conversation he shares the great personal significance this Marian shrine has for him, and why Our Lady's warnings are so urgently relevant for our time. Tune in for a thorough exploration of the Marian apparitions witnessed by the three shepherd children, the astonishing Miracle of the Sun seen by tens of thousands, the terrifying vision of hell entrusted to the children, and the prophetic warning that the final battle between God and Satan would be over marriage and the family.

Fr. Chad Ripperger opens up about his personal journey, from his devout Catholic upbringing and early fascination with science and flight, to the moment he realized his call to the priesthood mid-air in a rented plane. He traces the path that ultimately led him into the world of exorcism—a role he never sought, but couldn’t escape, and shares startling insights into how exorcisms have changed over time. This conversation will serve as a timely reminder for every Catholic of the importance of living a life rooted in prayer and fighting the good fight in the spiritual battle for our souls.

Sr. Mary Madeline Todd unpacks the astonishing life and teachings of St. Catherine of Siena, showing how her radical love for Christ led her to confront popes, serve the sick & suffering, and call the Church to true reform—not through negative criticism, but through holiness. At the heart of her message is the powerful image from her Dialogue: the world as a raging river pulling souls toward destruction, and Christ Himself as the only bridge to safety. This uplifting conversation will remind you that real reform begins within—and that only by surrendering to Christ can we cross from death to life.
