SPECIAL THANKS TO CORPORATE TRAVEL, PRODUCERS OF THE GOOD NEWS CONFERENCE FOR MAKING THIS INTERVIEW POSSIBLE!
www.goodnewsconference.com What if your biggest struggles—your addictions, your need for control, even your mindless Instagram scrolling—aren’t just bad habits, but actually trauma responses to your own sorrowful mysteries? And what if God isn’t just asking you to push through, but actually wants to heal you?
In this episode of The Chris Stefanick Show, I sit down with Sister Miriam James Heidland, a former Division I athlete who battled addiction and deep wounds before one encounter with a Catholic priest completely changed her life. Now, as a leader with the John Paul II Healing Center, she helps people step into the deep healing and transformation that God desires for all of us.
We’re breaking down some BIG ideas, including:
Healing isn’t just for “broken” people—it’s for EVERYONE (yes, even you).
Why we keep running from our pain—and how God invites us to stop.
What our addictions are REALLY covering up (spoiler: it’s deeper than willpower).
How Jesus—who carried His own wounds—teaches us what true freedom looks like.
And, of course… how I ended up crying (again).
This is more than just a conversation—it’s a call to look at your own life in a new way. If you’ve ever felt like your past disqualifies you or that healing is for other people, this episode is here to remind you:God is still working on you. And He isn’t done yet.
Watch now and take the first step into the healing God has for you!
