Bishop Donald DeGrood is inviting all Catholics to lifelong Catholic Missionary Discipleship Through God's Love. But what does that mean? And what does it matter to your life? Join Dr. Chris as he interviews Father Scott Traynor.

What difference does the Baptism of Jesus make? It means that God doesn't stay away from our sins, but that He takes them upon Himself.

As Catholics, we are called to evangelize, to share our faith. But why? Why, exactly, are we supposed to evangelize? Join Dr. Chris and Renae Kranz as they explore this topic!

Listen to this sample lesson from Fr. Paul Murray’s new course inside the Word on Fire Institute titled “Prayer, Beauty, Mission: The Hidden Springs of the New Evangelization.” The spiritual life is typically understood to begin in ascent. However, in Christianity it begins with descent, namely the descent of God. As 1 John 4:10 says, God has loved us first. In this lesson, Fr. Paul Murray explore...

Sharon continues through the Gospel of Luke!

In Christ, your past might not be the thing that prevent you from being a part of God’s great work… It might be the thing that has prepared you.

As 2020 winds to a close, Bishop Barron reflects back on his five most popular YouTube videos of the decade. He and Brandon Vogt discuss why these particular videos resonated with so many people. A listener asks, if Jesus already did what he came to do, and Satan realized he was beat, why wasn’t that the end of the story? What are we still doing here?

Although 2020 is behind us, many of its lessons remain, and one of them is the reality of our mortality. How do we, as disciples of Jesus Christ, think about death and care for the dying? Join Dr. Chris and guest Cameo Anders in their conversation.

We all have the temptation to pretend to be someone or something other than we are. To pass ourselves off as someone else…to be an imposter. We do this most often when we know the truth but live in fear of the truth. John the Baptist shows us what it looks like to know the truth and live in the freedom of the truth.

Today, we share the second half of Bishop Barron’s recent discussion with Dave Rubin on the topic “Has Liberalism Failed?” It’s part of the “Bishop Barron Presents” series of conversations with various thinkers and cultural influencers. In this discussion, Bishop Barron and Dave uncover the underlying issues fueling today’s partisan politics and the culture of contempt. Further, they discuss how t...

We are about to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. But who is He, really? That was the very question which He posed to His disciples at one point during His public ministry: who do you say that I am? Who is Jesus Christ, really? And what does He matter to me? Join Dr. Chris and Renae Kranz in their conversation.

Is it possible to have peace in the midst of battle? Peace is not the absence of war, but the presence of something more powerful that war and trial. Peace is found when one is ready for the current challenge because they have done what they needed to do. This principally involves being in right relationship with one’s self, with others, and most especially with God. Repentance leads to right rela...

Dr. Chris interviews Emily Leedom about how to live the holidays when it's hard.

There seems to be a growing sentiment, both within the Church and the wider culture, that if you share a public conversation with someone, or say something nice about one particular aspect of their work, you’re necessarily endorsing everything they’ve ever said or done and can therefore be easily dismissed, a fallacy known as “guilt by association.” Bishop Barron discusses this problem, how it und...

No one ever sets out to lose. But losing is entirely possible: in business, relationships, and in the spiritual life. It is possible to lose one’s soul. No one wants to lose, but many people do. Even with a great roadmap, we need regular checkpoints to make sure we are on course and haven’t gone off track.

Dr. Chris interviews Dr. Jason Heron about his answer to the question, "What does it mean to be a Christian?"

Today we hear the second half of Bishop Barron’s recent talk to the Knights of Malta, in which he explains that behind much of the rioting and deep unrest in our country stand ideas stemming from four influential thinkers: Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault. Once we understand some of their most basic ideas, we will recognize their influence everywhere today.

Join Sharon as she explores the Gospel of John!

The one question that can either deflate or motivate a person is “When?” This question reveals whether our goal is an actual goal or merely a wish. But if we want to escape a life of accidents and craft a life of excellence, we need to make the decision of “when” are we going to choose excellence carefully, consistently, and quickly.
