What does God want?! Rules for discernment w/ Fr. Timothy Gallagher | Chris Stefanick Show

Published 2023-02-01
Even the most faithful Catholics struggle with discernment.

Figuring out what God wants can really stress you out. But when you develop your discernment skills, you can relax. There’s no peace like knowing you’re in tune with God’s will.

That’s why it’s so cool to have Fr. Timothy Gallagher with us! He’s spent years deep-diving into Ignatian prayer and the Rules for Discernment. He’s also written some excellent books of discernment advice, which you’re going to hear from.

If you’ve ever felt like flinging your arms out and yelling up to the heavens “God, what do you WANT?!?” then listen to this!

    I have been listening to Fr. Gallagher for about five years now, in the Discerning Hearts youtube channel. He is amazing, a true man of God. He has been my teacher and companion for many days, nights, happy and sad moments, and always have encountered God in his words. I am thankful for priests like him.
  • Thank you, Fr. Gallagher. After decades of low self-esteem, I’m finding true peace through Catholic spirituality. Now I’m on a quest to live with the peace of Christ in my heart. Your words are what I really needed to hear today. 💕🕯️🕊️
  • I can feel Gods peace when Father speaks. So wonderful &enlightening to listen to.🥰❤️🙏
  • Chris, Couldn't help noticing your comment that Father Gallagher has great peace. Just a word of encouragement -- it didn't take Father Gallagher 68 years to achieve it. I went on a retreat given by Father Gallagher about 35 years ago, and he already had it back then! Thank you, and God bless you both.
  • Rule #5 don’t make changes. Pray at your usual time and place and desolation goes away. It works. These 14 rules have worked for me! Thanks for stating them so clearly.
  • Father Gallagher thank you for your ministry, it has profoundly touched me personally and I continue to learn so much from your books and talks. May God bless you abundantly! 🙏❤️🙏
  • In the twelve step program we say watch the signs ( in the day ) we live one day at a time sometimes it's only one word . Eventually you recognize something relevant to your particular situation .🙏
  • “Not reacting, but responding.” This is very enlightening. I realize how I have lived reacting. Now I’m praying to stop reacting but responding. 💕
  • Thank you so much. This is the first time I have ever heard this incredible priest speak. I am a struggling Mother and miraculously stumbled across this interview exactly when I needed it. Melbourne, Australia

    I retired at 59 to be "grandma daycare". My husband was soooo on board to keep our grandkids "like us in love of the Lord!"

    I would like to attain 10% of Fathers peace. Truly, these talks with him are wonderful. Thank you Chris.
  • Chris- you ought to bring back father Gallagher ! once or two or many times more. He gets better and better with the years , guiding us all how to understand and use the tools of our beautiful Catholic Church. The saints path and the teachings their holy life gifted us🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻. I pray Fr Gallagher continues with his amazing ministry for many more year to come and that he helps feed the hungry souls like ours with his amazing gifts and love for God. May God bless you Fr. Gallagher 1000 times fold !!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    So true!!! He sounds exactly like on hallow. I thought his voice was so calming for the meditation. But that's how he actually talks. Thank you Fr. God bless you and Chris.

  • Prayer is essential. A persistent and sincere prayer (in a really quiet place, not in front of television or while listening to media). And after a decision making you find so much happy and peaceful.
