How did a small parcel of land in Wisconsin survive one of the most destructive firestorms in American history, and why does its legacy continue to draw thousands of pilgrims today? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft welcomes back Fr. Nathan Mudd, Fathers of Mercy priest and Chaplain at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion—the site of the only Church-approved Marian apparition in the United States.

Fr. Mudd provides a roundup of recent major events at the shrine, including the 5th anniversary of their chapter of the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary, which has reached over 20,000 members bound in mutual prayer. He recounts the miraculous protection of the shrine grounds during the devastating Peshtigo Fire of 1871, the annual Solemnity of Our Lady of Champion celebration, and previews the upcoming Bl. Carlo Acutis Youth Day on October 24, designed to inspire high schoolers in Catholic discipleship and authentic friendship. Stream now to listen!

Protection, Peace, and the Peshtigo Miracle: Fr. Nathan Mudd on Our Lady of Champion

Across the globe, are healthcare workers being systematically stripped of their rights to refuse procedures that violate their moral and religious convictions? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft welcomes back attorney Wesley J. Smith, Chair of the Discovery Institute’s Center on Human Exceptionalism, contributor to National Review, and author of Culture of Death and Forced Exit, to discuss his recent article, "Medical Conscience is Under Assault at Home and Abroad."

Smith outlines alarming international developments—such as Ontario, Canada, where courts mandate that objecting physicians perform "effective referrals" for lethal injection euthanasia or leave the medical profession. He highlights cases in British Columbia where doctors face heavy fines for refusing off-label puberty blockers to minors, and addresses growing domestic pressures in the United States, including influential arguments in the New England Journal of Medicine seeking to eliminate conscience protections for controversial procedures like abortion. Plus, Smith and Dr. Craycraft analyze the severe systemic consequences for Catholic healthcare systems, medical students, and patient care if medical conscience is eradicated. Stream now to listen!

Coerced Care & Conscience Claims: Wesley J. Smith on the Worldwide Assault on Medical Conscience

How should faithful Catholics evaluate capital punishment in light of recent high-profile headlines and Church teaching? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft offers a theological and moral reflection on capital punishment, examining recent news surrounding botched executions and public execution proposals alongside Section 2267 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Dr. Craycraft unpacks the 2018 revision to CCC 2267 promulgated by Pope Francis, analyzing its three core rationales: human dignity, the danger of granting the state the power of dispassionate killing, and the existence of effective systems of detention. He explores the ongoing debate among theologians regarding whether the Catechism's revised teaching represents an absolute moral prohibition or a conditional judgment contingent upon societal security. While sharing his personal opposition to the death penalty, Dr. Craycraft highlights the complexities and ambiguities within Church doctrine and Catholic moral tradition. Stream now to listen!
