Chris Stefanick: Living Joy & Speaking Truth In A "Woke" World

Chris Stefanick might be the most influential Catholic evangelist of our day. Why? Simple. The man radiates joy! He doesn't merely talk about joy; he lives it! We can too! Join His HoliMess and Stefanick for a fun and joy-filled conversation covering topics and questions such as: The witness of joy changing Chris's life forever. The 9 Rules for living joy. The blessing of vulnerability. How to avoid burnout in ministry. Gratitude. Speaking Truth with love in awkward circumstances. The most useless and worthless job description ever. Coerced religious experiences. Living joy under Emperor Nero. Why the Church, and Christians, should NOT be nice. The synergy between lay preachers and clergy. Loving Jesus and others at the same time, and much, much more.

Also, Fr. Paul addresses the first major criticism of his podcast, as well as talks to his best friend, Matt DeCaux, about a HUGE surprise.

About the Podcast

A Holy Mess
With His HoliMess Father Paul
Fr. Paul Houlis is, in no way, His Holiness, but he sure is, “His HoliMess.” He knows from personal experience that one’s life can truly be a beautiful, holy, mess.
Are we not all, in some way, “A Holy Mess?” After all, holiness is messy! We live in a messy world, and God entered the depths of its “messiness” and made it “holy”. He can do the same for one’s life!
So tune in, and bring your mess with you. You’ll find out that God doesn’t just clean the mess of one’s life but uses it! He turns our mess into a beautiful message of hope…if we let Him.
Join “His HoliMess” for a clean, but very messy podcast.

Fr. Paul Houlis is a priest of the Archdiocese of Newark, in New Jersey. Before entering the seminary, he pursued a career in stand-up comedy and acting in New York City. His life was flipped upside down shortly after the tragic events of 9/11/2001. Faced with the close reality of death, he starting asking questions about life. He soon found that true life was found in living a life for others, not just for self. "If you get me through this I'll dedicate my life to helping your children," he cried out to GOD. The rest is history.
Fr. Paul desires to use his love for comedy and entertainment to help bring others joy. After all, the Christian person must be a person of joy. For GOD truly is a JOY to the world....even in it's mess.
