Christian maturity is more than externals—it’s a life that endures trials and actually changes you. John Stevenson lays out a practical roadmap for resilient discipleship and the one habit most people skip.

Host Kevin Kapchinski talks with John Stevenson, Director of Campus Ministry at St. Mary’s Catholic Center (College Station), about forming disciples who last beyond college. Drawing on Corps of Cadets grit and years with Saint Paul’s Outreach, John explains why relational evangelization—not programs—shapes durable faith. He names the essentials: identity as a beloved son or daughter, endurance through trials, a daily prayer life, honest confession, and living in community and mission. They challenge consumer mindsets about the Mass (covenant over preferences) and press into dependence on the Holy Spirit for authentic witness. If you’re a student, young professional, or parent, this gives you a clear path forward. Follow the show, rate & review in your podcast app, and share it.
