About the Show
Join us each weekday from 4–5 PM (ET) for The Simple Truth. We’ll explore what it means to receive, live and share the simple Truth of Jesus and His Catholic Church. We’re living in challenging times, but you and I are called to rise up and meet these challenges with Christ. Together we’ll proclaim all that is good, true and beautiful, apply it to real life, and we won’t shy away from the tough topics — especially those areas where truth is most unpopular and most needed. As the Catechism reminds us: the disciple of Christ chooses to “live in the truth” by following Jesus’ example and walking in His light.
Encore Presentations:

The Future of the Pro-Life Movement | Americans United for Life (John Mize)
The fight for life in America is increasingly being decided in courtrooms, legislatures, and the public square. We’re joined by John Mize, CEO of Americans United for Life, to discuss how pro-life laws are crafted, defended, and advanced across the nation, and why the legal system remains one of the most critical battlegrounds in protecting the unborn and the most vulnerable. Americans United for Life works to advance the human right to life by influencing culture, crafting law, and shaping public policy, equipping lawmakers and advocates with the tools needed to defend life at every stage. From the role of the Supreme Court to the long-term strategy required to build a culture that values every human person, this episode offers clarity, insight, and hope for those committed to restoring a culture of life rooted in dignity, solidarity, and love.

Don't Forget, Church History DIDN’T Start in the 1960s! (Bishop Joseph Strickland)
Bishop Joseph Strickland issues a timely reminder to Catholics who may have been taught, implicitly or explicitly, that Church history effectively began in the 1960s. Drawing from his recent podcast episode titled “When the Council Becomes the Compass,” he challenges the tendency to treat Vatican II as a reset button rather than what it truly was: a moment within a living, continuous tradition stretching back to Christ and the Apostles. Bishop Strickland warns that when councils are treated as starting points instead of reference points, the Church risks losing her memory, her confidence, and her doctrinal clarity. With pastoral urgency and historical grounding, he calls the faithful to reclaim the fullness of Catholic identity rooted in Scripture, Tradition, the saints, and the enduring Deposit of Faith, reminding us that the Church does not reinvent herself every generation, but faithfully hands on what she has received.

Wonder and Awe Wednesday - The Life and Beatification of Fulton J. Sheen (Joanne Wright)
Joanne Wright is a Catholic wife, mother, grandmother and co-founder of The Station of the Cross Catholic Media Network, striving to live out her Consecration to the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts of Jesus and Mary for the intercession and salvation of souls.
We’ll share the remarkable story of Venerable Fulton J. Sheen, tracing his journey from a brilliant Midwestern seminarian to one of the most recognizable Catholic voices of the 20th century, and now a man on the brink of beatification. We look at Sheen’s years as a professor and preacher, his groundbreaking radio work on The Catholic Hour, and his Emmy-winning television program Life Is Worth Living, which drew millions of viewers each week with nothing more than a chalkboard, sharp wit, and unapologetic Catholic truth. We’ll also explore his deep interior life, including his lifelong commitment to daily Eucharistic Holy Hours, his service as a bishop and auxiliary to Cardinal Spellman, and the suffering he endured in fidelity to the Church. Finally, we’ll look at the key moments in his cause for sainthood, including the recognized miracle attributed to his intercession and the recent news renewing anticipation for his long-awaited beatification, explaining why Catholics around the world continually turn to Fulton Sheen today as a model of courage, clarity, and joyful evangelization in confusing times.
