The Simple Truth, hosted by Jim Havens, airs each weekday from 4-5PM(EST) on The Station of the Cross Media Network. The focus of the show is authentically receiving, living, and transmitting the simple Truth of Jesus and His Catholic Church. We're in challenging times, but we are made to rise up and meet the challenges before us with Christ. We'll be proclaiming all that is good, true, and beautiful, applying it to real life, and we won't shy away from the difficult topics, especially lifting up the truth in those areas where it is most unpopular, and therefore most needed. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "The disciple of Christ consents to 'live in the truth,' that is, in the simplicity of a life in conformity with the Lord's example, abiding in his truth. "If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth."

  • Time Is Running Out: A Final Warning to Pro-Life and Political Leaders (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 1/30/26
    Jan 30 2026

    1/30/26 - In our final episode, Jim and Father Stephen Imbarrato confront what may be the most critical question facing the pro-life movement today: Is the window rapidly closing for our leaders to stand unequivocally for Constitutional personhood for the preborn? With abortion embedded in law, compromise strategies dominating the political landscape, and another election cycle approaching, the pressure is mounting on figures like Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis—as well as prominent pro-life leaders such as Lila Rose and Kristan Hawkins—to move beyond half-measures and publicly defend the self-evident truth that every human being is a person from conception. This conversation challenges the moral failures of incrementalism, exposes the danger of political calculation over principle, and calls Catholics and Christians to demand clarity, courage, and consistency from those who claim to lead the pro-life cause. History is being written now. Silence and delay are no longer neutral. The question remains: who will rise to meet this moment before it’s too late?

  • Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can’t Be Fused with Christianity (Dr. Carrie Gress) - 1/29/26
    Jan 29 2026

    1/29/26 - Jim sits down with author, philosopher, and scholar Dr. Carrie Gress to unpack her book Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can’t Be Fused with Christianity from Sophia Institute Press, examining why modern feminist ideology—despite often appealing language about equality and empowerment—ultimately conflicts with the Christian understanding of the human person, vocation, marriage, and family. Drawing from history, philosophy, theology, and cultural analysis, Dr. Gress traces the roots of feminism, explaining how it reshaped ideas of womanhood, motherhood, sexuality, and power, and reveals why attempts to create a “Catholic feminism” fall short by substituting autonomy and resentment for truth, sacrifice, and love. The conversation also explores how feminist assumptions have quietly influenced Church life, education, and pastoral practice, why the ideology has become so persuasive even among believers, and how Catholics can respond with clarity and charity while remaining faithful to authentic Church teaching on dignity, equality, and true freedom. Dr. Gress challenges viewers to think critically about the cultural narratives shaping society today and invites them to rediscover the beauty and coherence of the Catholic vision for men and women rooted in Christ and ordered toward genuine human flourishing.

  • Blessed Jordan of Saxony: The Saint Who Rebuilt the Dominicans (Joanne Wright) - 1/28/26
    Jan 28 2026

    1/28/26 - When St. Dominic died in 1221, the future of the newly founded Dominican Order was far from secure—but the man elected to succeed him, Blessed Jordan of Saxony, would prove decisive in shaping its destiny. We’ll examine how Jordan, a brilliant Paris-trained theologian and gifted preacher, preserved Dominic’s original vision while leading the Order through unprecedented growth, expanding Dominican houses across France, Italy, Germany, and beyond. Renowned for his warmth, clarity, and personal holiness, Jordan drew countless vocations—including future saints—by uniting doctrinal precision with genuine pastoral charity, especially among university students. Through his letters, preaching missions, and careful formation of friars, he defended religious discipline against laxity, resisted worldly pressures, and ensured that truth, study, and preaching remained at the heart of Dominican life. His leadership demonstrates that lasting renewal in the Church comes not from novelty or compromise, but from fidelity to tradition, courage in leadership, and holiness lived publicly and persuasively.
