Trusting in the Father’s Provision – With Dr. Bob Schuchts

This week, John welcomes back Dr. Bob Schuchts—Catholic therapist, author, and founder of the John Paul II Healing Center—for an in-depth conversation about what it means to truly trust in the Father’s provision.

Self-reliance can creep into our lives in subtle ways, and fear and control often mask as responsibility. Listen in as Dr. Bob shares personal stories and insights from his new book Trusting Our Father’s Provision, which demonstrate how real freedom begins when we let go and allow God to provide.

If you’ve ever struggled to surrender your finances, your future, or your sense of security to God, the Father sees you. He knows what you need. And He can be trusted.

Who Do You Say That I Am?

You shouldn’t have to tell anyone you’re a disciple of Christ—your life should make it obvious.

Join John and Victor in the pew as they explore how true discipleship is revealed not in words, but in the way we live. If you’re truly a disciple of Christ, your life should look different—so much so that others can see it without you ever saying a word.

Reflect on the most important question Jesus ever asked: “Who do you say that I am?” Remember on the day of judgment, the answer won’t be spoken—it will have been lived.

Conversion, Scripture, and Jubilee with Dr. John Bergsma

In this week’s episode, John welcomes Dr. John Bergsma — convert, theologian, and professor at Franciscan University of Steubenville—for a rich conversation on faith, scripture, and the Church’s 2025 Jubilee Year.

Dr. Bergsma shares his journey from Protestant pastor to Catholic scholar, and how reading the Bible deeply led him not away from the Church, but straight into it. Together, he and John unpack the meaning of Jubilee, not as a dusty Old Testament tradition, but as a living call to forgiveness, freedom, and restoration.

If you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between scripture and tradition—or if you’re ready for a deeper understanding of how the Church invites us into hope—this one’s for you.

We Need Each Other

The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone.

In this episode, John and Victor talk about the deep need we all have for spiritual friendships—and why trying to follow Jesus without community leaves us vulnerable to isolation, temptation, and burnout.

They share personal stories of how God used brotherhood to strengthen them in their darkest moments, and how real transformation happens when we walk with others who know us, challenge us, and love us enough to tell us the truth. Because, we really do need each other.

You weren’t meant to carry it all alone. If you’ve been going through the motions or trying to handle everything yourself, this episode is your invitation to open up, reach out, and walk together.

The Call to Care

What’s missing when most Catholic’s practice the faith? Care.

Love begins with caring, and community begins with accompaniment. In this episode, John challenges us to stop going through the motions and start answering the call to care—for real people in real tangible ways.

If you’ve ever felt unwanted—or if you’ve found yourself missing out on meaningful relationships because of work or technology—this one’s for you.

Sent Forth with Austin Habash

What if the solution to parish decline isn’t another event, but a knock at the door?

In this week’s episode, John welcomes Austin Habash, founder of Think Catholic and Sent Evangelization, to share his powerful story—from agnosticism to the Carthusian monastery, and now to leading neighborhood evangelization across the country.

Austin explains why door-to-door ministry isn’t just possible for Catholics—it’s vital. And how real transformation doesn’t start with a script, but with prayer, presence, and genuine charity.
