A Woman’s Perspective on Faith and Healing | Chris Stefanick Show 

“When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.” ― Fulton J. Sheen, Life is Worth Living

As a psychiatric nurse I have heard thousands of stories of sexual abuse, I have become desensitized to it, so why did I cry listening to this beautiful soul tell her story? I'll tell you why. It's because I don't get to see many of my patients become healed and wholesome again. I see them drugged with antidepressants and anxiolytics and fed a cold, secular psychology which only helps them justify their negative thoughts and maladaptive coping strategies. This story is so beautiful! real healing from a caring God. I love hearing how she ran from Him and how He chased her and caught her in a spiritual embrace, He hugged her soul. Even evil is turned to good by loving Jesus. Well, time to wipe my tears and try to look composed. Man this touched my heart. Thank you for being brave and bringing this into the light. ❤️💙❤️💙💚❤️🧡❤️💛💙

Chris, u keep interrupting ur wife and are not doing what u said from the start which was to let her share it..

Chris, love you man, STFU and let her talk...!

I know it's your wife, and I know you've heard her testimony before, but I haven't. Every interruption derails her story, and her experience is certainly worthy of the telling. In the end, I'm grateful that Jesus did what he does. Always.

It warms my heart to see a truly authentic loving Catholic couple with such a beautiful , important story to tell. Very inspiring. God bless you both.

Holy smokes the husband sure does interrupt

Chris, you mean well, of course, but you interrupt your guests.

Its nice to see the love between the two of you. But I have one thing to say: You know brother you talk too much. You always interrupt when that other person is saying something important be it your wife or the person whom you are interviewing. You cut them short. Sometimes they remember what they were sharing and they continue but most times it goes on a different track. You seem to talk and laugh more than the person you are interviewing. You take away the joy of listening. Please don't do that. Thank you.

You keep interrupting...pls let her talk

Love the testimony..but CHRIS..let her tell her story..quit interrupting!!!🙄🤣

God bless all the women of God specially your precious wife!

Chris...we know you were trying not to talk too much but you still overtasked your wife way too much. Keep working at listening ...makes for a much more powerful and impactful interview. Thanks & God Bless

You guys are AWESOME. You are so beautiful to each other. And you’re real…not fake. Amazing examples.

Thanks Natalie for being brave and sharing your story.its an inspiration to seek God .❤🇨🇦

Please let Natalie tell her story!,,,,,,,

I want to hear her story, for many reasons. I see her love for her husband, but i cannot follow her story, disjointed with the numerous interruptions. I am quite saddened that i cannot understand her story at all.

So appreciate your vulnerability. You Chris are such an obviously super husband. Your dear wife is brave! Love you both! Great for all to hear! Hope! Faith! Nothing is an accident.

STOP, ... interrupting ....Chris!!!😁

Beautiful conversion story, but I felt increasingly anxious every time he interrupted her. :( Please let her talk without breaking into her every sentence.

Please please have her back to talk about healing from the abuse. I have come so far yet I have built a wall around my heart that separates me from Jesus. Any words of wisdom will help. Done the therapy, there are no loved ones.

Chris, love your program as a practicing Catholic..., but the most frustrating experience of watching your clip has been overwhelmed by your none stop talking including constantly hijacking the conversations... .

What a beautiful and powerful testimony. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼 Also admire the love you have for each other and being vulnerable and sharing tears on camera. It touched my soul and made me cry, especially the gift your precious Rosemary bought for you, that is such a profound and meaningful gift to think to give your mother. My mind was blown thinking of the analogy that God is our gold and that’s what mends the broken pieces of each our lives to make a recreated masterpiece of art😂🙏🏼❤️. God bless you and your family

Oh Natalie, my story is very similar to yours, I even felt “triggered” to past events when at mass Susanna’s story is told. My pain still goes on, now physically and mentally impacting my daily life. What is different now though is a few years ago in 2020 I had a reversion that changed my perspective and my priorities. I have very much enjoyed listening to your story thank you for being courageous enough to share it. FYI: you and I share the same name, I truly believe I was meant to hear this today. ❤🙏🏼God Bless

Let her talk!

Thank you for your testimony and witness ❤️🙏

Chris I say this with great love. Your videos are truly awesome, but please let your wife speak without interrupting her mid sentence or finishing for her or jumping ahead. You have a beautiful joyful enthusiastic spirit that’s contagious and I really enjoy your content otherwise.

Bold, lovely and refreshing conversation. What a blessed couple!

This is a true moment of Catholics Anonymous for me. I was never abused sexually, but both my parents never (or very rarely in the case of my mother) seemed to be supportive of anything I ever did or was interested in. I am now 54 and can confirm this feeling of self-reliance, that I got when I was about 12. In my case, God came into my wretched life about that time and within the following five years I was a basic convert, although my long way to the RCC lasted until I was allowed to "join" last year. In my own experience God took the place of my parents, gradually but surely. These days, even when something bad happens, it makes me happy in a strange way, because I take anything out of the ordinary as a special message from my loving Lord. If He throws something at me, I suppose He wants me to grow, as one of His many little, happy children. I don't think my parents will ever love me but I know God does and I wish for everyone who feels abandoned or unjustly treated to know the peace coming from our mighty Father in Heaven.

Thank you, Thank you! Looking forward to hearing the rest of the story. God Bless 🕊️

Thank you angels for sharing your testimony. Please pray for my broken family. God Bless US for Real! 😇😇😇

Hallelujah Jesus! Thank YOU, Nathalie

I was abused by an older brother. My body reacted to the abuse by having shingles on my face and neck and eczema on my arms. All this by 8 yrs old. The abuse continued til I was 11. I agree, the abuse made me the person I am today.

When did you meet? When did you marry??????

I went to WYD 2002 in Toronto and I remember that as soon as I heard the helicopter where JP II was in when arriving I just began to cry and cry and cry. It was definitely an indescribable experience. Hearing you mention your experience at just hearing his voice brought me tears 😢.

TY for being transparent! Abused at a young age, and thankfully, my Father has not allowed me to recall the “who” of it. For that I’m grateful. But I came to know this was why, for most of my 71 yrs, I have “NOT WANTED TO ‘BE’” I had, in 2013 a convention experience of the Love of the Father God! Changed EVERYTHING! I needed to hear your story today, to remind me of who I BELONG to. God bless you both. 💕

This is a powerful witness. Thank you !!!

With all the interruptions and advertisements i cldnt hear her story. 😢

Thank you; that was beautiful as are both of you.

I feel so much better about you, Chris, now that I have watched this video. You can tell a lot about a person by their spouse! Thanks for this video.

I love your wife. She's so pretty and endearing.

I would like to ask the host to talk less pls. You so interrupting that your wife couldn't tell her story as her own cos you are putting words into the story just because you already heard the story but pls just be silent and let her freely talj

go to the sacrament!! GO TO CHAPEL U DONT HAVE 2 B CATHOLIC .. its the best possible place of "REST'

Love Chris but this would have been better if he would have just let her tell the story. The interruptions are frustrating

Beautiful and inspiring story..I love watching your videos Sir..thanks for sharing about your Catholic faith ..

Wow! My name is Natalie too and I'm grateful to have found this video. I'm a lot younger and my hope is to be blessed with a spouse and have kids despite my hard past in the Lord's timing. I had a difficult upbringing and this gives me all the more hope, all the more because we share the same name.❤‍🔥🙏🏽 I've been telling myself that even when I didn't believe in God, God believed in me. God saw mxe all the time, past, present, and future.

I gave you a bad mark because you interfere with the speaker too much I'm not going to listen to it

The main reason people watching your show is to see what do your guests have to say on various topics…., but not what do you have to say outside of questions asking…….

You haven’t even started your story and I’m already crying ♥️

Let her speak brother. 😉 Love you Chris.

Love it and want to hear more from your wife Chris. Genuine conversation and please let her do the talking .. Much love to you both. CK

I wanted to hear her story properly . He kept interrupting 😢.

MAY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BLESS THE BOTH OF YOU ARE BEST FRIENDS FOREVER! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! SINCE THE DAY I MET MY WIFE, WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER 35 YEARS!, SHE HAS HAD M.S. AND BED RIDDEN, BUT I TOLD HER THE TRUTH! "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, I WOULD GADLY GIVE MY LIFE FOR YOU!" JUST LIKE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, I WILL SUFFER AND DIE TO MAKE YOU HAPPY; AND BEG THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR LOVING AND LUSTING FOR YOU!" AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

My father passed away 10 years ago. He was 79 at that time. Fathers during his time had the mentality that fathers were head of the family and they were. He worked and was our bread and butter and he was. He smoked but did not drink. He had playboy magazines but never cheated on mommy. He was a daily mass goer but never bragged or mentioned it. He was a lawyer, provider and great father and grandfather . Abuse never entered my mind with all them magazines around. Those days were different I guess. Times before had distinction between wrong and right. Now many terms have been categorized. One thing I know though. I love God my wife my family and my daddy. He may not be ideal now a days but then he was and still is.

Sitting next to my 2 yr old son on the bed watching you two, whilst he is watching some vids and my wife making me coffee and I'm drying the tears from my eyes so I don't get caught. Absolutely beautiful, thank you.

"I wanted the truth, when I found it, to be sublime."

I was molested at a very young age around 6 yrs.old. I stuffed the incident down deep into my soul and heart like it never happened. My childhood was pretty okay. but I never had a happy view of myself then th

Stop interrupting! Typical man not letting a woman have a voice. Done listening and only 5 min in.

A beautiful story and it seems like they have a beautiful marriage...a real friendship. Their conversation just bounces off each other in a way that we learn more of Natalie's story.

Please pray for my broken family. I always used to tell my kids Romans 8:28 Family court shredded my children and I😢

Thanks for sharing your story. I guess I leave with questions but I will watch part 2 to see if they are answered.

Beautiful. I felt it. Was not sexually abused, but was in a very violent home. My grandmother and Godmother never stopped taking me back to church. But I very much understand that feeling of being my own protector from young. Took me a while to fully understand Gods grace. Well done so happy for you. 🙏 God is amazing

A lot of males have difficulties revealing their abuse, especially back in the day, when we were not allowed to be vulnerable. Woundedness is often kep at bay with drugs, alcohol, and problematic behavior. God can deliver you! Do not despair!

What a Great show…! I had similar story too…! Thank you ….! God bless j you both…! 🌹❤️👩🏼‍🦰

Thank you for sharing. I was abused has a child.

After hearing the story, I don't know what to do with my anger about the innocent people being abused. I want to do more than pray. Actions are what GOD wants from me. GOD GUIDE AND TEACH ME.

The 1st amazing thing is what a beautiful couple you are who are not afraid to SHOW your love for one another! Very rare! May God bless you and your family and I’m praying for you and especially Rosie! 2nd is this video is from May 2022 but I’m watching it on March 27, 2023 and the reading today was also about Susanna. There are No coincidences since I too can relate to this reading and to you Natalie because I was sexually abused by my brother when I was 5 or 6. I don’t remember anything except that i “joked” about it at school with friends and I have every reason to believe that it wasn’t once and that my sisters may also have been also abused but it was such hush hush (we didn’t talk about THOSE things) that I only discovered this a few years ago and I’m 56 years old. I don’t know if my parents knew. I was close to Jesus at a young age going to Catholic Grammar school. But I attended a public high school and became promiscuous by age 16 or so and started drinking at 14. I was clearly searching for the meaning of love in all the wrong places and got “married” civilly at age 20 having my 1st daughter at age 21. My marriage has been rocky because my husband denies the faith though he goes to Sunday Mass because he was raised Catholic but he’s lacking in catechism and persecutes me. I have grown in my faith by the Grace of God thru a couple of friends but my husband has not so I continuously pray for him. We got married in the Church after 8 years of civil marriage by the Grace of God and the intercession of St Anne and now have 4 children. Our marriage is struggling but I offer it up knowing that Jesus will save him and my children. Knowledge of my abuse only drew me closer to Jesus through a friend who educated me in the faith and taught me about the TRUE LOVE and MERCY of Jesus in my life. He’s the one who helped me discover my past abuse. He was my spiritual Big Brother and spiritual director/teacher. I am forever grateful and strive to accept any sufferings that come my way and offer them up. I truly see God’s hand in my life even in abuse and confusion because without that I would not have cried out to Him for help and would probably be a lukewarm “woke” Catholic today! Thank You Jesus and Mom! U love You both with all my heart, mind and soul!!

Thank you so much for sharing your story Maam Natalie. Your story is very inspiring. I am handling children survivors of abuse in different forms as well. They too are so inspired of your story.. Pleas pray for them and with them that they too may experienced healing and become an inspiration to others just as you do. Thanks Sir Chris Stefanick Show.. May God bless you more! Watching form the Philippines.

Praise the Lord! Natalie, your story is so beautiful. Jesus healed you with beauty and reached your heart with the very thing you always tried to shove down. Everyone in Christ is a NEW creation! AMEN!

He adores us in adoration?!?! 😭🥰 I have an hour tomorrow and I've never been more excited to go!! I was wondering what I've been missing while I'm there. That was it. ❤Thank you

Thank you and God bless you for this

You were so blessed to end up in love with Our Lord, as so many do not end up this way. Thank you for sharing such a personal story that I know will help MANY! There was a part when Natalie was speaking that the camera went to Chris, the pain on his face for his precious wife brought me to tears 😢

My solace was controlling all males with my body. I abused pot and alcohol also.

He lacks charity and patience, loves the limelight and worships himself. Talks about good topics but a bad walking example to watch. 😢

What a beautiful soul your wife is! I was so frustrated with all Your interruptions, though.😢. Going to watch part 2 now and hope there's less of you and more of her.❤

I love their relationship. You can tell there is so much love there. God Bless 🙏🏼

Any healing was man’s doing. The rest is just mythological thinking and is meaningless.

God bless you guys for your authenticity ❤

God adores us??? Are you serious?

Why wouldn’t you let her say Medjugorje?

Kamu bekerja untuk Filipin saya Tau itu, jadi maaf no

2 Cor. 5:17 has been my weapon, shield, strength, and power as God was and continues to heal me.

I love their ministry,watching this dialogue I can’t help to think of that scripture that says in Matthew 18:6… little children are the ( apple of God’s eye ) that you Chris and your lovely wife testimony for Christ and how the LORD is working in to your life’s

Gosh I hope Chris can shut up for Part 2.

Song recommendation! Gabrielle Aplin kintsugi! She has a pop and piano version, kintsugi is mentioned at toward the end of the interview, it's an artwork of taking pottery and putting it back together with gold 💛💛🧡💛🧡💛

Beautiful ❤️

🌹🙏✝️🛐🙏✨🕊️😪😪😪I am Sooo Incredibly Sorry for what you went through and Sooo GRATEFUL that you allowed yourself to be pursued by JESUS CHRIST🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌💓❣️💓Sooo GRATEFUL GOD brought You and Chris Together💞💞💞

Love these two!😊

Thank you so much for sharing your story!! So beautiful!! I will turn 60 in a few days and only 7 years ago I found out what Narcissistic abuse is, and until that time (53 years old), I finally found out what happened to me up until that time in my life. My dad and my ex, and other narcissists abused me all that time. I grew up as a cradle Catholic. When I was 31, I left the Catholic Church and went to a Lutheran Church and then an Alliance Church. When I was 45, I had a Reversion (conversion experience). I went to Confession and started going to Holy Mass on Sundays, then daily Mass 2-3 times a week, then Daily Mass, the Rosary, and i served as lector and Eucharistic Minister. For the 1st time in my life, Jesus brought Devout Catholics in my life, who helped me learn about our Beautiful Holy Catholic Faith. When I was 50, I went through a divorce, annulment, and stayed in a Monastery for 5 months and then 2 other religious communities, but that's not where God wants me to be. Now, I love the Latin Mass. I will soon be transitioning to a place where I will live my Catholic Faith with a devout, loving, caring Catholic Church where the Latin Mass is celebrated every day or at least 3 times a week. I want to help out at this Church I join and make good friends there, something I experienced before but now with the Traditional Latin Mass. Your story really inspired me!! Thank you and God bless you both and your family ❤️❤️🙏🙏

Very powerful.

How beautiful that the LORD never gave up his chase. The art of putting together the broken pieces with gold is called kintsugi. I know that as my church ran a series called Kintsugi Hope to help us deal with the vicissitudes of life.

I was abused in the late 50's by my grandfather. My parents knew and they knew his past behaviors. Not being protected was the worst. Also, I hated the fact that he was the school bus driver in a rural area...not telling how many others he violated.

You guys are too cute!!

Well, it’s hard to have faith when God is not there for you. And God does not love everyone, he deserts you too. How can you love God when you have so much anger towards God?

My God, your story is my story. I just realized it. No my name is not brian I did believe in Jesus tho I didn't want to.

I too had a similar experience and when i spoke up was removed from the family..

Why isn’t there any Crucifix in the set? It looks a little bit pagan-ish 😢

So helpful, thank you for sharing.

Thank you! From Perú 🇵🇪🌹

Very special! Thanks so much!❤
