Fr. Kapaun: American Medal of Honor Winner AND a Future Saint?!
Monday Mar 17, 2025
Monday Mar 17, 2025
Pope Francis has just named Fr. Kapaun a venerable making this American hero and medal of honor winner one step closer to sainthood. Today we celebrate this great occasion by sitting down with Roy Wenzl, author of “The Miracle of Father Kapaun.” Roy has done extensive research on Father Kapaun and interviewed many of the POWs that Father served with both in the war and in the prison camp. Father’s riveting story will surely inspire you as we continue to pray that one day Father Kapaun will be recognized as a saint of the Catholic Church.

Dr. Peter Kreeft: What Would Socrates Say?
Monday Mar 10, 2025
Monday Mar 10, 2025
Philosophy has a way of intimidating or putting off people for being too ethereal, abstract, or impractical. But today, Dr. Peter Kreeft joins Ben Eriksen to challenge these judgments by discussing his new book “What Would Socrates Say? An Introduction to Philosophy by the Socratic Method.” This work is unlike every other introduction to philosophy; it is not only written in dialogue, but also teaches the reader how to think, not what to think.
In this episode, Dr. Kreeft and Ben discuss the Socratic method, the importance of searching for the truth rather than winning arguments, skepticism, artificial intelligence, and so much more. This engaging conversation demonstrates the importance of philosophy in our everyday lives.

Join us as Fr. Donald Haggerty sits down with Andrew Petiprin to discuss the dark forces that seek to undermine and destroy the Church. In Fr. Haggerty’s new book, The Hour of Testing, he not only locates our era in its historical context, but he also discusses how we should spiritually live in our own time. His relevant insights and depth of thought are manifest in the concentrated reflections offered both in this book and in his podcast.
In this episode, Fr. Haggerty and Andrew discuss the rise of doctrinal ambiguity, the cultural indifference to God, and the Second Coming. As we approach a new era in the Church, Fr. Haggerty’s practical reflections will help any Catholic navigate the coming years in the Church’s history.

Fr. John Nepil: Where Catholic Theology Meets Alpine Adventure
Monday Feb 24, 2025
Monday Feb 24, 2025
It is often said that one can find God in nature, but few have explored the theology behind such a common statement. Join us as Fr. John Nepil talks with Andrew Petiprin about the theological lessons and underpinnings of mountain hiking, which he details in his new book To Heights and Unto Depths. This book and the ensuing conversation artfully weave together theological insights and real-world experience.
Fr. Nepil and Andrew examine the spiritual benefits of the outdoors, both the joys of reaching the summit and the lows felt during arduous hours hiking. They also discuss the modern crisis of manhood, the responsibility of leadership, and how the works of theologians such as Von Balthasar, Cardinal Ratzinger, and Luigi Giussani can reveal spiritual wisdom found on the trail. For those who love the outdoors or theology, this episode is a must watch!
