On this episode of Arroyo Grande, Raymond Arroyo sits down with Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker - three-time Super Bowl champion and record-holder for the longest field goal in Super Bowl history - for a candid conversation about football, faith, and culture. Butker reflects on the Chiefs’ disappointing season, how he handles pressure in the NFL, and what setbacks can teach athletes about discipline, resilience, and purpose.
Butker also opens up about his Catholic faith, explaining why the traditional Latin Mass plays such an important role in his life - even during the NFL season - and why he believes many young people are rediscovering tradition, reverence, and structure in the Church.
The two also revisit the national controversy surrounding Butker’s viral commencement speech on marriage and family, discuss faith in public life, the growing influence of politics and sports betting in professional sports, and why speaking openly about traditional values continues to spark debate in today’s culture.
