Don’t take yourself too seriously | Chris Stefanick Show

[@njerimatenjwa5467]

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

[@mazikode]

Wonderful quote

[@peaceanle]

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.

[@1hart]

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

[@kermierogers7876]

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!

[@renee187]

You just described me wow. This video is just what I needed! Praise the Lord

[@MoonlightNothing]

Eutrapelia Dear Friend in Christ, The (CC) text read "Future Paleo" for this word while he was speaking. 😮 NOW That's funny! 😅

[@okpt-i6e]

Thank you Chris God bless 🙏❤

[@MoonlightNothing]

Thanks "Uncle Dan" for impacting Chris's life!

[@judithkrus4669]

You are a grandpa?!! You look so young !! I love your message. May God continue to guide and bless you. 🙏🙏

Joy is a net by which we catch souls- St Teresa of Calcutta

[@Visnerlin]

Thank you Chris, I needed that, I needed to hear what you just said God bless you

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

[@ll93111]

Laughter is the best medicine! I like watching comedy 😄😃😁

[@wreloise1]

Thanks for the CONFIRMATION ❤ I’m ‘silly’ All The Time!! I work 12-hours shifts at night as a nurse 🙃🙃🙃🙃🤩

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.

[@catherinemclaughlin9118]

i'm knee deep in snow as it is. Stayed home for the past few days (I'm a pensioner) Please don't talk about climate change, my dinosaur gets restless...:)

[@domidumdum4051]

@@catherinemclaughlin9118 Dear Catherine, I am praying for You that the Lord will be Your light in the following days. Sorry if I mentioned something that made You anxious. I have no idea what this dinosaur thing means. Could You explain? I am from Poland and I don't know all the idioms in English, I don't get many of them actually. We share this homestay experience. Last week I also have been dressed elegantly in my pyjama, not going out. In Poland it is 3 Celcius not, the winter started last week. But in those difficult times I have to remind myself, God is present and don't let my heart forget it. I am reading right now great book, "Power in praise"/Merlin Carothers/ which is a great help in order to fight with gloomy days. It really is a good one. Protestant book, but I got some wisdom from it too. If You want, let me know how You feel, it would be nice hearing from You! PS. Snow is so beautiful, it reminds me of the passage in Isaiah where the Lord says our scarlet sins would be white as snow... Isn't that great???

[@elaineborn6135]

Thank you, Chris. This is an important subject!!! I appreciate your content.

[@diannaflorestrueba3791]

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 ❤🙏💔

[@catherinemclaughlin9118]

You certainly do put a smile on my face ;)

[@nicolebassi4133]

Thank You 🙏❤️

[@lionking3960]

Amen Chris

[@alejandrorosales2273]

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...🙏🤲

[@joanneshea749]

Amen Chris. 😊

[@debbiefurtado9780]

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

[@cherylfangman4066]

Wow...thank you.

[@MissPopuri]

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.

[@diannaflorestrueba3791]

I didn’t know fun is a virtue 😂

[@andrewrahnacnrep]

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

[@diannaflorestrueba3791]

How about bowling, swimming, enjoying nature, enjoying family and friends. Etc.

[@stephen5804]

I'm sorry I don't enjoy. I don't know how to overcome depression and anger. I say this not to be funny or evil. I hurt and I'm tired of feeling like this. Sorry i vent, i don't know where else to go. Psychology didn't work, confession has not work, drugs don't work. GOD PLEASE DO SOMETHING

[@matthewmascarenas219]

I want to help but I don't know how. I will keep you in my prayers. Do you have any idea what is at the core of your depression/anger? I'm assuming you pray to our Blessed Mother? I know praying the rosary has helped me greatly in areas of depression bitterness and anger. Meditating on the mysteries is powerful. Might I recommend a novena to our lady of sorrows. She might be able to help you out. Blessings!

[@susananderson5061]

What a cross you have to bear After my son died 5 years ago I have learnt to be kind to myself as I am to friends Depression anger grief and fun can exist side by side God loves us even with depression Don't give up and praying does help I'm praying for you

[@paulasuhr8234]

I am praying for you too, Stephen - God bless you!

[@creeadm4349]

I’d like to believe God has the best dad jokes.

[@Kasher18]

Just ordered this book! Excited to read it 🥰

[@josephnicholas9812]

Why do they have to 'soft sell' the Christian message? Christ said, 'pick up your cross', not 'pick up your beer glass' of similar.

[@MoonlightNothing]

[@sitka49]

Doing you bills and having fun? What does that look like? - That's kind reminds me of the Catholic mantra about sex in the Catholic marriage, you can be free and expressive- enjoy yourself. ( yeah right! until you start pulling back layers) but wait first you have to read this 37 page rule book on catholic marital acts on what's expectable and what isn't- enjoy yourself but not too much.

[@maryjofinn792]

1st time listening to your show. VERY JOYFUL. haha. Thank you

[@AristidesM637]

How to spell that word? Utrepalia?

[@markdaniel2308]

I think God finds humorous is contrasting irony?!

[@domidumdum4051]

When comes to Lord Jesus, He surely had a sense of ironical humor. For example, in Matthew 23, 23 Lord says "for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin". The fact is, no one was paying tithe of mint and anise. Those examples were invented as an exaggeration. Seriously, those herbs weren't counted in Temple archives. Those were just aburd examples to show absurdity of people's behaviour.

[@espressocoffeeshine4346]

God's sense of humor? He created you! He has the modernists weeds to laugh to scorn! The laughing scorn of God is most likely the very chains that hold the damned in hell!
