Notable guest quotes:
“I believe we should have faith in everything that we do, especially with sports and the media that sports is getting nowadays, it’s really a good way to evangelize.”
“I was born and raised Catholic, and then did go to Catholic school, starting kindergarten, up until like first two years of college.”
“When she brought me to Our Lady of Lourdes – this was in the Philippines – February 11 is her feast day, and they have a healing Mass. They are like the whole day would be like a healing day. And according to her after she had brought me there, I rarely got sick.”
“I always tell everyone I made it because not because I was strong, not because I was great, but because I prayed every night. Even as a child, I had a pouch of prayer books with me, and I prayed every night before I’d go to bed.”
“I got into taekwondo after the military. I won state and then qualified for national championships.”
“Our church here in Alaska, they put a pilgrimage together last year and it’s to visit the Marian sites in Europe. So, we went to Fatima and then we went to Lourdes… when I got to Lourdes, it really felt to me that I was coming home.”
“A church is not just like one person going and worshiping. I mean, it’s good to have your time with Christ, but we’re a community and we’re there to help each other and lift each other up.”
“I also have a specific time to go to Adoration every week, which I really look forward to going to and it’s another best kept secret which should not be a secret that you hear Christ when you’re in front of the Blessed Sacrament.”
“I wanted to be a neuro coach because it’s more than just mindset. It’s digging deeper and figuring out those neuro pathways that have been formed since you were a child that’s clearly affecting how you function in your day-to-day life. And what’s better is if you add scripture to it.”
“Christ does not want you to feel eternally guilty and feeling bad. That’s actually the enemy (that) wants you to feel bad because he wants you in despair, but then Christ actually is there. He gave up his life for you and saved you.”
