In this episode of The Chris Stefanick Show, I sit down with Jim Blum, a man who served 20+ years behind bars and found God, purpose, and healing in the unlikeliest place: prison. We talk about what it’s like to be sentenced to 32 years, what actually happens after the gavel drops, ...

Welcome to Week 5 of our Living Peace series. We’re still on this wild ride toward deep inner peace, and today we hit the real challenge: radical forgiveness. You have to take this step of discipleship to live in the peace of Jesus. It’s so hard that most people won’t even take the leap, which is why true peace remains so rare. We’ve come to see resentment as virtuous, even for wrongs do...

In this episode of The Chris Stefanick Show, I sit down with psychologist Dr. Peter Malinowski to explore why you feel like you’re running on fumes because you can’t say “no”.

We’ve all been duped into thinking that the busier we are, the more successful we must be. But here’s the truth: hurry is a thief. It steals your joy, fractures your focus, and even suffocates your prayer life. In Week 3 of Living Joy, we will journey from ancient sundials to the ping of your smartphone, exposing how ou...

In this episode of The Chris Stefanick Show, I sit down with Deacon Bob Rice, who has spent 30 years on the front lines of youth ministry, to tackle one of the toughest question for Catholic families: How do we help our teens own their faith in a world of screens, stress, and nonstop noise?

Your brain is hardwired to look for threats. That’s great if you’re in a jungle being chased by a bear. Not so great when you’re trying to live in the peace Jesus died to give you.

In Week 2 of our Living Peace summer series, I delve into the real reason why so many of us are stuck in fear, outrage, and constant conflict, and how Jesus flips the script in one of His most famous parables:...

In Episode 1 of the Living Peace Series, I unpack how Jesus’ very first words in the Upper Room weren’t “Surprise” but “Peace be with you!”—a victorious shout that still echoes for us today, even when life feels totally out of control. We’ll explore childlike trust—the same bold faith that sent His disciples out with zero provisions (Luke 10) and kept Paul anchored in a Roman prison:“The...

In this episode, I unpack the mystery of the Eucharist for Corpus Christi Sunday—from Jesus’s bold John 6 teaching (“Unless you eat my flesh…”) to awe-inspiring Eucharistic miracles in Italy, Mexico, and Poland.

Let’s be real—people can be challenging. But trying to do life without them? That’s even worse.

We’re in the middle of a loneliness epidemic—and it’s wrecking our health, our joy, and our souls. Worse than high cholesterol. More isolating than ever. And no one’s talking about it.

In this episode, I’m diving into the real reason we feel so disconnected—and what the Trinity has to do with ...
