In this week's episode of the Chris Stefanick Show, we dive into the frontlines of spiritual warfare, exorcism ministry, and deliverance as I sit down with deliverance minister Dave Van Vickle, who has been working in deliverance ministry since he was 14! We unpack real encounters with demonic activity and equip you for battle. Learn the three tiers of demon attack, discover why love, truth, and the sacraments (even a simple hug!) are your most powerful weapons, and see how everyday moments can become acts of deliverance.

We’ve all been duped into thinking that the busier we are, the more successful we must be. But here’s the truth: hurry is a thief. It steals your joy, fractures your focus, and even suffocates your prayer life. In Week 3 of Living Joy, we will journey from ancient sundials to the ping of your smartphone, exposing how our obsession with time has hijacked our souls—and how the Gospel can set us free.

• Steps to cut loose the tasks and commitments that leave you worn thin.
  
  
• A clear framework to rebuild your day around what truly matters

In this episode of The Chris Stefanick Show, I sit down with Deacon Bob Rice, who has spent 30 years on the front lines of youth ministry, to tackle one of the toughest question for Catholic families: How do we help our teens own their faith in a world of screens, stress, and nonstop noise? Bob and I unpack why smartphones are supercharging teen anxiety, decode the two pivotal growth spurts that make or break faith formation, and reveal why steady presence (even at their big game) is so important. Plus, get practical tips for building a small-team ministry and meeting kids on their turf to help bridge the generational gap.
