Kevin Wells joins this week's episode of the Respect Life Radio podcast to reflect on the witness of holy priests and the quiet heroism found in faithful ministry. Drawing from his recent article in Catholic World Report, “The Memory of a Vianney-Like Priest Lay Hidden in the West Virginia Mountains,” Wells recounts the powerful story of a humble priest whose life of sacrifice, prayer and pastoral devotion echoed the spirit of St. John Vianney. Through this story, Wells invites listeners to rediscover the beauty of priestly fatherhood and the transformative impact of a life poured out for the salvation of souls. Wells is an award-winning Catholic author, speaker, and former sports reporter for the Tampa Tribune. He is the best-selling author of several books, including The Priests We Need to Save the Church, Priest and Beggar: The Heroic Life of Venerable Aloysius Schwartz and The Hermit.

Episode 229 - Kevin Wells by Cajun Catholics

Kevin Wells returns to share more about his time with a parish priest, turned hermit, and how this encounter saved his marriage. He also shares more about his book, “The Hermit.”

Jim and Joy welcome author and speaker Kevin Wells to the show to speak about his book “The Hermit,” that chronicles his experience with a parish priest, turned hermit.

9/4/25 - Catholic author and journalist Kevin Wells returns to share two modern miracle stories shaking the Church today. First, the inspiring witness of Fr. John Hollowell, who in 2018 offered his sufferings for victims of abuse, enduring seizures, a brain tumor, and depression before experiencing a remarkable healing at Lourdes now under investigation. Then, Kevin tells the story of Fr. Jonathan Meyer, whose Indiana parish, once near closure, has been transformed into one of the most vibrant Catholic communities in America, modeled after the zeal of St. John Vianney. In this powerful interview, we explore how God is bringing renewal through both suffering and revival, and what these miracles reveal about the future of the Catholic Church.

6/26/25 - Catholic author and former sportswriter Kevin Wells offers his reflections on the documentary Champions of Faith: Baseball Edition, a film that profiles the spiritual lives of Catholic Major League Baseball players such as Mike Piazza, David Eckstein, Jeff Suppan, Jack McKeon, and others. As a viewer and longtime observer of professional sports, Kevin discusses how the film powerfully captures moments of prayer, sacramental life, and personal testimony, revealing how these athletes integrate their faith with the pressures and spotlight of the big leagues. He explores the film's unique approach to evangelization through storytelling, its portrayal of Catholic masculinity and virtue, and why its message continues to resonate in a culture often at odds with faith-based values.

Cody Delmendo, Kevin Wells, and Joey Christopoulos break it down on this edition of CHGO Cubs Podcast.

What lessons does a parish priest who battled the Devil (and won) have to share with us? Matthew Leonard is joined by author Kevin Wells who has published a great, very unique little book that shares the practical secrets of a holy life from St. John Vianney, the Curé of Ars.

Kevin Wells joins guest host Brooke Taylor discussing today's moral collapse and the biggest challenges facing Catholic youth and families.

Our vows are for life, and we need overwhelming grace to live them out - Kevin Wells   Summary If you ever thought your marriage was in such bad shape that you simply did not know what to do, this podcast is for you.  We were so blessed to be able to talk to Kevin Wells, the author of The Hermit: The Priest Who Saved a Soul, a Marriage, and a Family.  This interview is deep because Kevin and his wife Krista have been through the fire together and it is only by the grace of God that they both survived.  Our discussion includes the indissolubility of the marriage vows, how marriage makes you holy sometimes by bringing you to the desert, and the powerful role that our priests can take in shepherding our souls and bringing Jesus to us.  Kevin's perspective is incredibly hopeful because he has seen the power of God!  Take time to listen to his story and use the lessons he gives to draw closer to the source of life for all of our marriages - the Lord Himself.  Key Takeaways When a person experiences shame, they always need an outlet for that shame.  Sometimes its themselves and people turn inward, and sometimes it is someone else.   Satan is a total jerk.  He uses wounds from our childhood, when we were innocent victims, to beat us up and tell us the lie that we are not worthy of love.  Every addiction is hiding a wound.  To be truly free from addiction, that wound needs to be healed.   When you are in the “desert” of a troubled marriage, the only way to get through is complete reliance on God.  He calls us deeper into the desert to rest, abide, and surrender.  Our vows are for life and this is an impossible task.  It can only be accomplished by the grace of God Priests are custodians of the souls of those within their parish.  When one of these souls is in error, they need the Holy Spirit to speak with firmness and candor.  Anything less is false charity and false mercy.    Couple Discussion Questions Are there areas of our life or marriage that aren't completely surrendered to God?  How can we surrender everything to Him?  Are there priests in our lives who are true shepherds to us?  How can we support and love our priest better?     https://ignatius.com/the-hermit-hermp/

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”What happens when we drop a 19th-century saint into our smartphone-saturated world? Kevin Wells, author of Coached by the Cure, Lessons in Shepherding with St. John Vianney joins Jack to explore this provocative question—and the answers might shake your perception of modern spirituality.Wells begins with a startling comparison: the smartphones we casually place in our children's hands are functioning as "miniature Ouija boards," disconnecting them from authentic spiritual experience. "I don't care about the Ouija board, that's 1970s," Wells argues. "I care about the Ouija board—that millions upon millions of kids' carry in their pockets." The conversation draws fascinating parallels between our current spiritual climate and post-Revolutionary France, where St. John Vianney arrived to find a spiritually dead farming community...and practical lessons for today!! This episode offers both the challenge and the pathway forward. Share your thoughts and experiences with us, and consider how you might implement these timeless principles in your own family and community.Get your Copy HERE! Contact Jack: info@jp2renew.orgFollow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalSubscribe to our Newly Resurrected YouTube Channel!On Rumble: JohnPaulIIRCIf you're interested in being a sponsor of the Become Who You Are Podcast, please email us at Info@JP2Renew.org Jack's Latest Blog: Marriage as a Sacrament: The Primordial Sign of Love!Support the show
