Podcast appearances and mentions of Journey Home

Deacon Michael Nixon had a deeply troubled home life, and after a few years of homelessness, joined the Hare Krishnas at 13 and started selling drugs on the side. When he met his wife, they began a journey of spiritual exploration together, and in the most unexpected fashion, found a home in the Catholic Church, entering with their very young children. One of them, Fr. Michael Nixon, was a guest on The Journey Home in August 2025.

Matt Swaim joins with highlights from tonight's The Journey Home where you'll hear the story of from Hare Krishna to Catholic.

This week on The Uncommon Good, Dr. Bud Maher flies solo while Bo Bonner continues his doctoral studies in England. His guest is Dr. Stephen Lawson, a longtime friend and newly appointed associate professor of theology at Newman University in Wichita, Kansas — a position so new he hasn't appeared on the university's website yet. Check back at newman.edu this fall to follow his work. The Stone-Campbell Movement Dr. Lawson grew up in Grayson, Kentucky, the son of two Bible college professors deeply rooted in the Stone-Campbell (restorationist) movement — a tradition that intentionally uses generic church names like "Church of Christ" or "Christian Church" to emphasize unity over denominationalism. He explains the movement's founding principle ("where the Bible speaks, we speak; where the Bible is silent, we are silent"), its surprisingly robust understanding of baptism and weekly Eucharist, and how its Biblicist roots ironically pushed many of its most serious scholars toward deeper engagement with church history. The Academic Journey From Ozark Christian College in Joplin, Missouri, to Emmanuel Christian Seminary, and finally to Saint Louis University's PhD program in historical theology, Dr. Lawson describes how immersion in the Cappadocian Fathers, Augustine, and patristic scholarship created a hunger the Stone-Campbell tradition couldn't fully satisfy. He reflects on a remarkable cohort of fellow Stone-Campbell scholars at SLU — including mutual friends Alex Giltner, Jordan Wood, and Alden Bass — many of whom have since entered the Catholic Church. Hauerwas, Peterson, and Newman Two thinkers proved pivotal: ethicist Stanley Hauerwas, whose radical ecclesiology pushed Lawson to ask serious questions about what the Church actually is, and Protestant-turned-Catholic theologian Erik Peterson (1890–1960), whose conversion story Lawson wrote his dissertation on. He was asked three times during his dissertation defense: Why aren't you Catholic? Landing the Airplane The decisive moment came when an institutional merger at Austin Graduate School of Theology — where Lawson was teaching — produced an administrator's claim that a theology degree was "basically the same thing" as a degree in marriage and family therapy. That reduction of Christianity to a subjective self-help tool made staying in a subjectivist tradition impossible. He and his wife Emily entered RCIA at St. Ignatius Martyr Church in Austin, Texas, and entered full communion with the Catholic Church. Their baptisms were recognized as valid; no rebaptism was needed. Teaching Theology Today After three years teaching at a Catholic high school in St. Louis, Dr. Lawson reflects on what really matters in the classroom. His approach shifted away from memorizing theological vocabulary toward helping students encounter Christ through texts — most notably, using Augustine's Confessions as a mirror for students to map their own spiritual geographies and key life moments. Pope Leo's Encyclical Dr. Lawson offers an early take on Magnificat Humanitas, Pope Leo's new encyclical on human dignity and artificial intelligence, describing it as a text with real, lasting impact — one that calls the Church back to the concrete, local, embodied person in an age of commodification and algorithmic control. He sees limited room for AI in theological education, where the goal is encounter, not output. Dr. Lawson's conversion essay is available through his Facebook page. Look for his published work in the Newman Studies Journal. Dr. Bud Maher teases a return visit to go deeper on the encyclical.

In more recent news, the Kennedy Center retains it's original name and independent music platform Nina Protocol is shutting down in July.Song: Flea - “Traffic Lights (feat Thom Yorke)”Friend of the show, Nate Kalwicki, was recently awarded a mortgage free home by the amazing folks at A Soldier's Journey Home.

Today's guest is Ian McCall. He's a former world champion MMA fighter with over 20 professional fights who competed in the UFC and went to war with some of the best in the world.But Ian's story goes far beyond the cage. After his fighting career, Ian was left with life-altering brain damage. The hits he took didn't just affect his body—they affected his mind, his identity, his purpose. Like so many retired athletes, he found himself lost.Then he found psychedelics. Ayahuasca. 5-MeO-DMT. Ibogaine. These medicines helped him come back home to himself.Today, Ian is the founder of Athletes Journey Home, a non-profit that helps athletes navigate retirement, brain injury, addiction, and identity loss using science-backed psychedelic therapy and trauma-informed care.We talk about his MMA career and the toll it took on his brain, how psychedelics impacted his life, and the mission behind Athletes Journey Home.Ian is raw, honest, and on a mission. This is one of the most important conversations I've ever had on this podcast.

Before Ezra and his companions start on their long journey to Israel, problems already arise that need ironed out: No Levites decided to make the journey, so Ezra needs to find some willing Levites to change their minds Ezra felt ashamed to ask the king for assistance from the Persian army, so he orders a 3-day long fast to ask for protection from God Ezra immediately gives the Priests and Levites temple duties before setting out This chapter highlights the importance of faith and obedience, noting that Ezra and the Israelites trusted in God's power to protect them on their journey. It also emphasizes the significance of listening to God's call, citing the example of the Levites who initially refused to join the journey but eventually answered God's call and were blessed. Lastly, this episode concludes with a discussion on the importance of treating offerings to God with respect and reverence. Jenn notes that any offering given to God is considered holy and should be treated as such.

*Click HERE to watch the interview on WCAT TVShownotesWe might often find ourselves going to the rote prayers of the Rosary or even the Divine Mercy Chaplet. While we may think they are separate, are they really so separate in terms of how we think of them? Or is there a way that God can bring us together through both of these prayers? Is there a way that they can, no pun intended, marry each other? In this week's episode, Jennifer has a conversation with guest, Shane Kapler, to discuss the fact that there is a relationship between the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet.Our GuestFor the past 30 years Shane has been involved in evangelism and catechesis within the Archdiocese of St. Louis.

What does it look like? Could it use a reset?

If not, try it practicing the prayerIn talking about the best time to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet being three o'clock, Shane brought up the point that “it's three o'clock somewhere.” Does that give you encouragement to pray it more frequently, regardless of what time it might be where you are?

Pornography is one of the most hidden struggles inside the church today, yet very few pastors openly address it. In this episode of Fearless with Mark & Amber, we tackle difficult but necessary questions about pornography, sexual intimacy within marriage, and what Scripture actually teaches. Is pornography ever acceptable within marriage?
What about creating explicit content between spouses?
Why is the church often silent about this growing issue? Drawing from personal testimony, biblical teaching, and current research, we discuss the spiritual, relational, and cultural consequences of pornography — and how believers can find true freedom through Christ. If the church doesn't address these issues, culture will. This conversation is meant for married adults and mature listeners, and offers biblical encouragement, accountability, and hope for those seeking restoration. In This Episode • The growing pornography problem inside the church 
• Why many pastors avoid discussing sexual sin
 • Biblical teaching on intimacy within marriage
 • Can pornography ever be justified in Christian marriage? 
• The dangers of bringing worldly sexual practices into the home 
• The spiritual leadership role of husbands 
• How addiction and secrecy destroy marriages

Septuagesima is the Church's merciful call to begin preparing for the Lenten journey, reminding believers that earthly life is a temporary exile and a pilgrimage back to the heavenly Jerusalem. Drawing on biblical symbolism of the number seventy and St. Gregory the Great's interpretation of the laborers in the vineyard, the message emphasizes that we live in the “eleventh hour,” yet are promised the same reward of eternal life by God's generosity rather than our merit. Pre-Lent is described as a motherly warning to simplify life, practice temperance, and prepare through fasting, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, and renewed spiritual discipline. Holding together sorrow for sin and hopeful joy in Christ's healing, the sermon urges the faithful to respond with humility and urgency, remembering that time is short and the Master still calls all into His vineyard of repentance and resurrection hope.

Matt Swaim stops by with highlights from tonight's Journey Home on EWTN. Matt Paolelli of Real Life Catholic visits to talk about the Lenten Phone Fast.
