    From Addiction to Redemption: Sister Miriam’s Radical Journey to Healing

    SPECIAL THANKS TO CORPORATE TRAVEL, PRODUCERS OF THE GOOD NEWS CONFERENCE FOR MAKING THIS INTERVIEW POSSIBLE! www.goodnewsconference.com What if your biggest struggles—your addictions, your need for control, even your mindless Instagram scrolling—aren’t just bad habits, but actually trauma responses to your own sorrowful mysteries? And what if God isn’t just asking you to push through, but actually wants to heal you? In this episode of The Chris Stefanick Show, I sit down with Sister Miriam James Heidland, a former Division I athlete who battled addiction and deep wounds before one encounter with a Catholic priest completely changed her life. Now, as a leader with the John Paul II Healing Center, she helps people step into the deep healing and transformation that God desires for all of us. We’re breaking down some BIG ideas, including: Healing isn’t just for “broken” people—it’s for EVERYONE (yes, even you). Why we keep running from our pain—and how God invites us to stop. What our addictions are REALLY covering up (spoiler: it’s deeper than willpower). How Jesus—who carried His own wounds—teaches us what true freedom looks like. And, of course… how I ended up crying (again). This is more than just a conversation—it’s a call to look at your own life in a new way. If you’ve ever felt like your past disqualifies you or that healing is for other people, this episode is here to remind you:God is still working on you. And He isn’t done yet. Watch now and take the first step into the healing God has for you! Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this with someone who needs it. ........

    What If Depression and Anxiety Are the Only Logical Response to a World Without God?

    Please note: we’re not talking about clinical anxiety and depression which can be a cross that makes you SAINT (insert your name here). That’s not all attributable to “lack of faith,” and may need treatment by professionals. We’re talking about the spiritual root causes of what seems to be a tsunami of mental health issues. What’s wrong with young people today? The mental health crisis is skyrocketing—depression, anxiety, confusion about identity… But maybe, just maybe, the problem isn’t just what we see on the surface. Maybe these young people are a "canary in the coal mine," revealing something toxic in our entire culture. Could it be that young people are simply more sensitive to the emptiness of a worldview stripped of God, objective truth, and the transcendent? What if the real problem is a spiritual one? On this episode of The Chris Stefanick Show, I sit down with one of my absolute favorite speakers (sorry to my other preacher friends!)—Monsignor James Shea, President of the University of Mary. Together, we dive deep into the mental health crisis, the spiritual battle at play, and the solution that’s often overlooked: conversion. And here’s where it gets crazy: I’m going to show you a wild clip from a conference that proves just how real this battle is. Monsignor Shea, one of the most powerful voices for truth today, encountered something unbelievable while preaching—something that may just leave you speechless. Plus, we’re giving away something EPIC!

    Beatings, Stonings, Persecution... How St. Paul Changed the World Against all Odds

    If you’ve never heard about the mind-blowing conversion of Saint Paul… buckle up, because this story is about to ROCK YOUR WORLD! Saint Paul wasn’t just any apostle—this guy literally reshaped Western civilization with nothing but passion, prayer, and 32,000 words that still outshine the works of ancient philosophers. Second only to Jesus, Paul’s influence is off-the-charts. We’re talking countless lives changed, entire cultures transformed, and an unstoppable zeal that fueled him until the very end! In this episode (filmed behind the Vatican, how cool is that?!), I’m taking you through the nitty-gritty of who Saint Paul was and why his conversion means so much for us today. You’ll hear all about his daring journey to the heart of Rome, his insane run-in with Emperor Nero, and the relentless prayer life that made him relentless at sharing the Gospel. Seriously, if anyone proves that prayer can revolutionize the world, it’s Saint Paul! I’ll also give you a sneak peek of our brand-new seven-part series, The Way of the Apostle, designed to help YOU share the faith with that same unstoppable joy.

    What Happens After You Die? Shocking Near-Death Stories and the Evidence That Can’t Be Ignored!

    In this eye-opening video, I sit down with John Burke, a researcher who has interviewed over 1,500 people who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). John’s extensive research reveals compelling evidence that the soul exists and that there is life after death. These NDE stories aren’t just hallucinations—they offer real, verifiable details about what happens when we die. John shares what initially sparked his interest in NDEs and how these experiences defy common skeptics' explanations. He also tells extraordinary stories, such as a blind person’s first experience of sight in heaven and a woman’s journey to heaven during brain surgery. One of the most striking discoveries is that people from all over the world, regardless of culture or background, describe encountering the same God, experiencing unconditional love, and reviewing their lives. Additionally, John reveals how people who have had NDEs experience time in heaven as multidimensional, challenging our understanding of time on Earth. This conversation is a powerful affirmation that we all have a soul and that death is not the end. It offers profound insights into what awaits us on the other side and how our lives are eternally connected to God. If you've ever wondered about the reality of the afterlife or the existence of the soul, this video is for you.

    The Battle You’re Losing Against Yourself (And 5 Tips on How to Win)

    Ever feel like you’ve tried to make a change but somehow always end up back where you started? It's frustrating, and it’s easy to think that the chance to change has passed. But I’ve got news for you: it’s not too late. Change doesn’t need to wait for the new year or the "perfect moment." You can start today. In this episode, I’m sharing 5 straightforward tips to help you make real, lasting change in your life. The truth is, transformation happens when you stop waiting and take action, no matter how small the step. We all face the challenge of becoming the person God has called us to be. And let’s face it—temptations are real. Ever notice how Doritos are impossible to stop eating? They’re engineered to be that way, right? But facing your weaknesses head-on isn’t always the solution. Sometimes, it’s about avoiding situations that trigger them in the first place. The bottom line is this: Your mistakes don’t define you. Real change comes when you understand that God’s grace is enough. Trust in His plan, take that first step forward, and let Him guide you through the process.

    From a Manger to Mayhem: a world record in promiscuity; a murder; & how Christmas solves everything.

    In this episode we dive deep into the reality that our society is drifting away from the bedrock of Judeo-Christian values. We're seeing a disturbing celebration of violence, like the shocking murder of a CEO, and a moral unravelings, as seen in a woman's OnlyFans boast about sleeping with 100 men in a single day. These unsettling trends are the fruit of a godless worldview that strips away the inherent dignity of every person. I discuss that it's time to reclaim the rich legacy of Christianity, which has historically uplifted humanity, and return to these core beliefs to restore our moral compass and affirm the true worth of every human life. ........

    Advent Isn’t Over! Spiritual Tips to Finish Strong!

    Advent isn’t over yet, guys! While in the secular world, it seems like Christmas is already here, Catholics have a very different perspective. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, we not only prepare our homes for Jesus’ birth, but we prepare our hearts and minds and spiritual lives, too! Today on the Chris Stefanick Show, I’m talking to my dear friend, Fr. Michael O’Loughlin. He is the pastor of the Proto-Cathedral of St. Mary in Los Angeles and co-host of the What God Is Not Podcast. And yes, he is also famous for going to bars and coffee shops in LA dressed in his priest clerics and evangelizing to the patrons there! We talk about how to close our Advent strong (or how to get back on track if you feel like your Advent has been lacking) and how to finish with the best Christmas ever. We chat about how hardcore Byzantine Advent is (they fast from meat, dairy, wine AND oil!), why engaging with God through our senses is important and needed, how to prepare your heart for Jesus’ birth, and so much more. Plus, Fr. Michael shares all about Byzantine iconography and goes through several beautiful icons that capture the beauty of this season. I can’t wait to dive in! Show links: Fr.

    Why did Aztecs Stop Human Sacrifice & Secrets from Our Lady of Guadalupe

    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!
