Faith, Church, and the Power of Prayer: Our Personal Journeys

Faith isn’t always easy to talk about—but it’s a big part of our lives, and this podcast has opened the door for us to explore it together. In this episode, we share personal stories about growing up Catholic, finding comfort in prayer, and the difference between faith and organized religion. We also talk about what it means to be on the same page with your partner, why praying out loud has been so powerful, and how making church an anchor to the week can shape daily life.From funny memories as altar servers to deeper conversations about ghosts, spirits, and gut feelings—this one goes beyond fitness and into the beliefs that keep us grounded.Timestamps:0:00 How the podcast opened us up to faith (sharing our backgrounds)3:00 Why is faith so uncomfortable to talk about?6:25 Being on the same page as your partner7:50 Praying out loud has been very powerful9:47 What makes you NOT share?10:40 Growing up Catholic (MDV was a pro altar server)12:00 The difference between faith and organized religion14:48 How organized church can jade your view15:38 Prayer and the Bible make for a better day18:03 Going to church every Sunday and making connections there24:36 Having an anchor to your week28:11 Pulling people into religion—tough questions33:20 Nobody is trying to push us—we’re just sharing38:39 Do you believe in ghosts or spirits?41:02 Gabe’s crazy story (and why conversations like this keep us curious)50:28 Core tenets of faith52:51 Jason’s morning routine is about to get a lot earlier57:13 The Astros pitcher drama and reading lips in little leagueThanks for tuning in to the Jason Khalipa Podcast! 🎥 The Home Team goes live on YouTube every Tuesday and Friday at 9AM PST.Follow us on Instagram:⁠JK Podcast⁠⁠Jason⁠⁠Gabe⁠⁠MDV⁠⁠Train with us on the TRAIN HARD App⁠⁠Find your program⁠⁠Subscribe to our newsletter⁠
