Vietnam War hero Guy Gruters shares his harrowing story of survival after being shot down, captured, and tortured for five years in the infamous Hanoi Hilton. Gruters recounts his descent into hatred and despair, and the miraculous transformation that came through faith, forgiveness, and the hidden power of grace. From secret Masses in prison to the spiritual warfare of captivity, his testimony is more than a war story, it’s a powerful witness to the resilience of the soul when anchored in Christ. “Pain is not the worst thing,” he says. “The worst thing is to lose God.”

Dr. Craig Turczynski, a former IVF lab director, once immersed in embryo transfers and lab culture, reveals the moment his conscience, and his Catholic faith, forced him to walk away. “I let those embryos die in culture,” he confesses, exposing the moral and medical compromises he witnessed firsthand. From the overlooked risks to mothers and children, to the financial incentives that drive IVF clinics, Craig lays bare a system he now believes is broken. Instead, he champions restorative reproductive medicine and natural methods that heal rather than bypass the body.

John-Henry Westen and Anthony Abbate of Avoiding Babylon open up about the spiritual exhaustion left in the wake of the Francis era, years marked by confusion, division, and deep wounds among faithful Catholics. Now, with Pope Leo XIV beginning his pontificate, they explore whether this could be the start of true healing. While ambiguity remains, early signs offer hope. The conversation turns toward unity, trust, and the need to read the pope’s actions with both charity and clarity. Healing won’t be instant, but with prayer, patience, and faith, it may finally begin.

Fr. Francesco Giordano explains to John-Henry Westen the five essential traits the Church needs in its next Holy Father: integrity, freedom, faith, fatherhood, and wisdom. As the conclave approached, Fr. Giordano emphasized the spiritual battle behind the scenes and warned against factionalism within the Church. He calls for a pope who will unite, not divide, a shepherd grounded in tradition and unshaken by modern pressures. Now more than ever, the faithful must pray for the Holy Father to stand firm in truth.

As the conclave nears, John-Henry and Fr. James Altman explore the chilling prophecy of Peter the Roman—St. Malachy’s final pope, said to reign during the Church’s ultimate trial. Could this prophecy be unfolding now? They examine rising papal contender Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, and whether the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem could fulfill the chilling prophecy of Peter the Roman, the final pope listed in St. Malachy’s alleged vision. With Pizzaballa's roots in the Holy Land, his growing visibility, and the Church in deep crisis, the parallels are hard to ignore. The hosts explore what this prophecy could mean, whether it’s unfolding now, and why the next pope could lead the Church through its greatest trial yet.
