Go Behind the Scenes of the ‘Hallow’ App With Co-Founder Alex Jones

It’s a simple idea with profound results: use a smartphone app to guide people into a habit of daily prayer. Through monthly prayer challenges, reflections, videos, and music from some of the most recognizable and influential Catholics in the world (and I’m on there, too!), Hallow has recently crossed the incredible milestone of logging 1 billion prayers. Praise God! In this episode of The Chris Stefanick Show, I am thrilled to welcome Hallow co-founder Alex Jones for an in-depth conversation that goes behind the scenes on the inspiration for the app...

Leah Libresco Sargeant on the Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto

The world tells you that dependence is weakness, but it's actually what makes us human. The truth is, you can’t live without being dependent. From the moment we’re born to the moment we die, we’re relying on other people. And that’s okay! In fact, it’s the way God intended.

Why God Keeps You Waiting (and How That Prepares You for Greatness)

We live in a culture that wants everything fast—success, influence, recognition. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but that's not always how God works. He grows things slowly, starting small and hidden, so they’re strong enough to last.

We’ll talk about David’s hidden years as a shepherd, the power of a simple slingshot, and what bamboo plants can teach us about waiting...

How This Catholic School Event 67 Years Ago Changed Every School in America

In December 1958, a fire broke out at Our Lady of the Angels School in Chicago. Within minutes, the building was consumed, and 92 children along with three nuns tragically lost their lives.

Bishop Barron: ‘I Knew Charlie Kirk. He Was a Man of Intelligence, Charm and Goodness of Heart’

I first met Charlie Kirk about four years ago when I was in Phoenix for a speaking engagement. He reached out and invited me to breakfast. I was deeply impressed by him that day. He was a man of great intelligence, considerable charm, and real goodness of heart. I reconnected with him just last year, after I saw him debate twenty-five young people who were, to put it mildly, hostile to his views...

What Jiu-Jitsu Taught Me About the Devil and Humility

In this episode, I’m diving deep into the one virtue that makes you spiritually unconquerable. We’ll talk jiu-jitsu (yes, seriously), the wisdom of the Desert Fathers, the ground game of Jesus, and why humility isn’t weakness, it’s the key to strength, peace, and spiritual victory.

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, and how God used Jim’s lowest point to launch one of the most successful reentry ministries in America...
