Don’t take yourself too seriously | Chris Stefanick Show

Nobody likes a grumpy saint. You could be the most pious person walking the face of the Earth. But if you're a spiritual curmudgeon, then you’re kinda missing the whole point.

Because God wants you to HAVE FUN!

Like St. Teresa of Avila once said, “A sad nun is a bad nun.” In fact, having fun is so important that there’s a virtue for it!

So in this episode, we talk about how fun fits into the spiritual life:
-Why it saves you from getting spiritually lukewarm
-How much is too much
-Three ways to exercise your “fun muscles"

This video needs to go viral. I know too many Catholics that walk around looking like doom and gloom when God gave them the greatest gift of life to enjoy his blessings.

St. Teresa of Avila said, " From silly devotions and sour faced saints, good Lord deliver us."

I sooo appreciate this video. I've been struggling so much every day, knowing I'm a horrible representation of Christ because I'm always so cynical and negative. I needed to hear this because I could feel myself slipping deeper and deeper into depression with each passing day. Thanks for helping me to change my perspective!

Your dad sounds amazing! What a joy it must be to have him around.

Fun is ok, but happiness is better.
Sometimes to much fun can take your happiness away.

We need humor to be good witnesses. Let us have honest clean fun.

Chris, You have no idea, how much we need to LEARN how to have fun in the midst of November. How important is this topic to all of the people who live in the Northern Europe, where for many months since November it's going to be dark and misty/foggy. Basically until spring. Thanks to the climate change, we may not see any snow in the following winter but mostly mist and we have to learn how to live and be joyful, not suicidal. Naturally sunlight gives us joyful, optimistic vibe, but maybe those dark winters are a great oportunity to have joy that comes not from the natural, but from the spiritual level; the joy in the Lord.
Not our circumstances should rule if we have joy and hope, but our faith.

I love that point of thought, several people have commented on my spreading too much videos on the bad news about The Church and all the tough things that are going on. People just want to have fun.
But even if sometimes I get called obsessive or fanatic, many people do listen! So, I’ll try to make my messages more equilibrated, I have to keep fighting to save souls ❤🙏💔

[alejandrorosales]

If we truly have the peace Jesus speaks about our hearts should be full of joy. He doesn't wants us to be timid with meekness and love with a forgiving heart.
If we can display the fruits of the Spirit in our walk with Jesus we can bring others to Jesus.
May we radiate his love and Mercy to others to ignite his light and love in others...🙏🤲

Hopefully the flow is Christ in faith incarnate. We are divine or Knot

I actually had a coworker tell me I was late today even though I was a minute early. The off putting nature of saying no one cares about whether I am late unless you are getting sued really struck me. It made me think of worrying over dead people voting, illegals crossing the border, or widespread/surgical voter fraud, and the pain lessens from your life. Now, if those things really did happen, we would have serious issues that need to be dealt with in a timely (haha) manner.

Just ordered this book! Excited to read it 🥰
