  • Open Your Heart & Receive Mercy

    Open Your Heart & Receive Mercy
    Apr 8 2026
    Guest: Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, Catholic priest, moral theologian, and Papal Missionary of Mercy

    If you were told there was a way to be totally restored from the eternal consequences of sin, would you believe it? In the Old Testament, a Jubilee Year was a ceremonial rejuvenation wherein God offered a “reboot” to His people, bringing them back into full restoration as His children. Today that same concept is offered through the Feast of Divine Mercy, celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, designated by Pope Francis as a Papal Missionary of Mercy, has made it his mission to teach, implore, and restore through God’s Divine Mercy as given to us by St. Faustina.

    We live in a fallen world that teaches the lie defining who we are by the worst thing we’ve done. Fr. Kirby challenges that, outlining how Divine Mercy reboots God’s relationship with us. Every scar, sin, and wound can be healed in such a way beyond forgiveness where our relationship is restored. Fr. Kirby says: “God doesn’t want to take us to the courtroom; He wants to hang out with us in the family room.”

    Listen as Fr. Kirby explains how Divine Mercy must be a two-way street: “What we’ve received, we are called to give.”

    Guest biography: Fr. Jeffrey Francis Kirby serves as the Pastor of Our Lady of Grace Parish in Indian Land (Lancaster), South Carolina, and is an Adjunct Professor of Theology at Belmont Abbey College. He has authored several books and digital programs on the moral and spiritual traditions of the Catholic Church. He holds a doctorate in moral theology from the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome and is a 2016 recipient of the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina’s highest civilian honor. Fr. Kirby is known for his previous vocations work in which he actively used contemporary social media, web design, and videography in recruitment efforts for the Catholic priesthood and sisterhood. He is sought out as a conference speaker and retreat leader throughout the United States.

  • Wisdom from the Cross

    Wisdom from the Cross
    Apr 1 2026
    Guest: Casey Chalk, freelance writer, editor, author

    What are the “Seven Last Words” of Christ? More than seven words, they are phrases which Jesus spoke as he hung on the Cross, naked and defiled. Casey Chalk noticed that these phrases have been pondered since the Church’s beginning. As he researched meditations from a variety of sources, including Scripture and the saints, he realized each one said something profoundly important and pointed to what a life lived well should be.

    Casey set out to gather this collection of historical meditations, discovering that Jesus deliberately gave us the roadmap to heaven. It became his book, “Wisdom from the Cross: How Jesus’ Seven Last Words Teach us How to Live (and Die) Well.” Drawing from both ancient and modern scholarship, each chapter contains various elements meant to capture the wisdom of the Cross. For example, when Jesus said, “I Thirst,” He was expressing His thirst for souls, calling us to a sacrificial love for one another. “Father, forgive them” teaches us the importance of turning the other cheek.

    Meant to become a year-round meditation companion, "Wisdom from the Cross" highlights how a life lived for others is a life lived well. Through Casey’s book, we can now study the roadmap.

    Guest biography: Casey J. Chalk serves as an editor or regular contributor for many publications, including The New Oxford Review, The Federalist, Crisis Magazine, and Religion & Liberty Online. He is the author of “The Obscurity of Scripture: Disputing Sola Scriptura and the Protestant Notion of Biblical Perspicuity” (Emmaus Road, 2023) and “The Persecuted: True Stories of Courageous Christians Living Their Faith in Muslim Lands” (Sophia Institute Press, 2021). Casey holds a B.A. in history and an M.A. in teaching from the University of Virginia and a master’s degree in theology from the Notre Dame Graduate School of Theology at Christendom College. He lives with his wife, Claire, and six children in his native Northern Virginia.

  • Biblical Masculinity

    Biblical Masculinity
    Mar 25 2026
    Guest: Sean Corcoran, lawyer, husband, father, and CEO of Men For Life

    For many decades, women have led the pro-life movement, boldly speaking up for the voiceless babies and their wounded mothers. Men were told abortion doesn’t affect them, even though their genes coursed through that blob of tissue being killed. Men were intimidated into silence. No more! Emotionally destroyed when his college girlfriend aborted their child against his wishes, Sean Corcoran leads Men For Life, a group which exists to raise up a movement of men who speak life, stand for truth, and protect the unborn.

    In addition to getting birth fathers to reject abortion for their child, Men For Life has begun two vital and life-affirming initiatives which can forever change a father and his family’s trajectory by offering a path to success. The group's Fatherhood program offers mentorship with good men, and an online program called “Arena” equips men with tools they will need to succeed. Whereas the pro-choice crowd had dominated the air waves with slogans castrating fathers , Men For Life invites them to take back their rightful place as protectors and restore authentic Biblical masculinity.

    Guest biography: Sean Corcoran’s life was forever changed when his first child was the victim of an abortion. The impact left him with a sense of deep loss. Incapable at the time of processing and dealing with his grief, Sean failed out of multiple colleges multiple times which led to a seven-year drug addiction and self-destructive behaviors. By the grace of God, Sean entered a treatment center, where a long and intense recovery process began. Once sober, he grabbed the chance to go back to college, then law school which allowed him to start his own business. Sean now lives in Lake Charles, Louisiana, with his wife, Dr. Michelle Corcoran, and their five young children, three of whom are adopted.
