Driving Home the Faith 2026.08.25

On Driving Home the Faith, Dr. Ken Craycraft welcomes Mark Brumley, president and CEO of Ignatius Press, for a look at the enduring wisdom of Venerable Fulton J. Sheen. With renewed interest surrounding Sheen and his cause for beatification, Brumley highlights several Ignatius Press titles by and about the beloved Catholic bishop, including The Power of Love, Remade for Happiness, and Go to Heaven.

The conversation also explores why Sheen should not be dismissed as merely a popular television preacher. Behind his remarkable ability to communicate the faith was a first-rate theologian and philosopher whose scholarship could be presented in a way ordinary Catholics could understand and appreciate.

In this powerful continuation of their conversation, Ken Craycraft and Marcus Peter turn to the themes of healing and addiction in Peter’s book Not Finished Yet: How God Keeps His Promise to Complete His Work in You. Drawing from his own experience with alcoholism, Dr. Peter speaks candidly about the struggle with addiction, the importance of recognizing our need for help, and the role of God’s grace in the healing process.

The conversation also explores why Christian healing encompasses the whole person—body, mind, emotions, and spirit—and why trusting God does not always mean receiving the physical healing we ask for. Ultimately, Dr. Peter points to the deeper healing God desires: the healing that leads us toward eternal life.
