Conversations with Chance Mutuku*

“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” — Ephesians 6:11 The world is in spiritual war, and fathers / men are called to stand up and be protectors. That protection begins at home. Fathers are prophet, priest, and king in the domestic church—to guard, guide, and lead their families in holiness. It starts with us praying by example, frequenting th...

“Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.” — Psalm 146:3 In this episode, we reflect on a realization that came during adoration: we often put people on pedestals and expect Christ-like perfection from them. Friends, leaders, parents, even spouses—we look to them for what only Christ can give. When they fall short, we’re hurt, confused, or bitter. But the trut...

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck.” — Matthew 18:6 In part two, we go deeper into the father’s call: to protect, to provide, and to lead his family toward heaven. Advent and Christmas show us a God who humbled Himself—who chose to come down to our level, to become small, and ultimately to...

“Unless you become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.” - Matthew 18:3 Advent and Christmas remind us that God didn’t come to us with power and spectacle. He came down low, as a child. In this episode, we reflect on what that teaches us as fathers and parents: the call to humble ourselves, to meet our children where they are, and to lead through presence and love. Being...

In this episode, we reflect on a talk given as part of the St. Michael’s Speaker Series, exploring what it truly means when Jesus says He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. If Christ is the destination, then the Catholic faith is not a barrier—but the vehicle that leads us to Him. Drawing from Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, this conversation looks at how faith moves us from shadows into light, fr...

“The family rests on the foundation of the father.” — St. John Paul II Kids don’t measure love in toys, vacations, or accomplishments. What they remember most is time — that dad was there, full time. In this episode, we reflect on the role of fathers as the priest of the home, looking to St. Joseph as a model of quiet strength, guidance, and presence. Fatherhood isn’t about doing everything perfec...

“He who does not progress, loses ground.” — St. Gregory the Great We’re not called to perfection, we’re called to progress. And that progress happens in the trenches: through effort, failure, learning, and trying again. In this episode, we talk about what it means to be a work in progress. To give yourself grace. To try something new. To grow as you go. You don’t need all the answers to move forwa...

“Prayer is the raising of one’s mind and heart to God.” — St. John Damascene Prayer doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t need the perfect words or a special place to start—sometimes, all it takes is a simple “Thank you, Lord” or “Thank you, Jesus.” That’s enough. Over time, that gratitude builds into conversation, then relationship. Before you know it, you’re praying through the day, maybe ev...

“If you do not deny yourself, you make yourself soft, and unfit for the spiritual journey.” — Saint Augustine Lent is a season of fasting, but it’s about more than just giving something up—it’s about strengthening our will. Self-denial isn’t deprivation; it’s discipline. The more we say no to ourselves, the easier it becomes to say no to the distractions, temptations, and comforts that pull us awa...

“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” — Martin Luther King Jr. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to choose faith over fear. Letting go of control and trusting God’s plan can feel like stepping into the unknown, but faith is the anchor that keeps us grounded. From a Catholic perspective to lessons in life, sports, and beyond, faith teaches us to...
