What’s REALLY happening in the Vatican right now? How does the Church choose a new pope—and what does it mean for YOU?
This week on The Chris Stefanick Show, I sit down with Catholic journalist JD Flynn to unpack the beauty, mystery, and humanity of the papal conclave which begins tomorrow.
We dive into:
🕊️ How the Holy Spirit works through human choices
🧭 What’s actually biblical about the process
🏛️ The ancient traditions (and funny quirks) of the conclave
🙌 Why this matters to every Catholic—right now
🙏 How YOU can pray and participate in this sacred moment
This isn’t just smoke and secrets. It’s the Body of Christ alive in action. And whether you're feeling curious, confused, or just hungry for clarity—we’ve got you covered.
👇 Watch now and pray with us for the man God is raising up to lead His Church.
