Ordering the Chaos

Is your life full of noise, stress, and spiritual disconnection? You’re not alone.

Join us in the pew this week as John and Victor dive into the chaos that often fills our lives, and the despair that can follow. They unpack how addiction, stress, and misplaced priorities lead us away from peace and into deeper confusion. But there’s hope. Through honest reflection, spiritual discipline, and authentic community, we can begin to reclaim order in our lives.

Listen as John and Victor speak plainly about their own past, and the practical ways they were able to move from chaos to clarity, and from despair to hope.

Breaking Free From Despair

Join us in the pew this week as John and Victor reflect on their own seasons of hopelessness and what it means to feel stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break—whether it’s addiction, broken relationships, or the crushing belief that things will never get better.

But despair isn’t the end. They also discuss that with Christ, you can fight for hope, even when you can’t feel it. When you keep showing up in prayer, the sacraments, scripture, and community, John and Victor share how choosing hope—even a hundred times a day—is the most courageous thing a man can do.

If you take anything from this podcast, know that you are not alone. Despair doesn’t get the final word when you place your trust in Christ and rely on the grace of the Holy Spirit.

Christlike with John Sablan

This week, John welcomes Catholic evangelist John Sablan for a powerful conversation about healing, discipleship, and what it truly means to live a Christlike life.

Sablan shares his personal journey from a wounded and rebellious past to a life on fire for the Lord, revealing how the love of God—and hours spent in Eucharistic adoration—radically transformed him as a husband, father, and man.

Together, he and Edwards discuss the difference between going to church and becoming a disciple, and how every man is called to a life of holiness, no matter his story. If you’ve ever felt unworthy, stuck in sin, or unsure where to begin, this episode is for you. God is not looking for perfection—He’s after your heart.

O Happy Fault!

Even in the darkest moments, God is at work.

This week, join John and Victor in the pew as they explore the mystery of suffering and the surprising beauty that can come from it. From personal struggles and heartbreak to redemption and healing, they reflect on how pain can become a path to deeper trust, renewed purpose, and unexpected grace. Whether it’s a lost job, a broken relationship, or hidden shame, God can transform our wounds into witness.

What feels like failure may be the very thing that opens the door to transformation. Grace often hides in the places we least want to look. It is there, in our lowest moments, that God begins His greatest work.

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.
