Let’s get personal with Fr. Mike Schmitz in Part TWO of our amazing conversation! If you can’t tell, Fr. Mike’s joy and love for the Lord is SO contagious! But his story is NOT what you would think!!

In this episode, Fr. Mike opens up about being an actor who almost became Robin in Batman Forever, his time as a fierce critic of Catholic teaching as a college student before becoming a missionary, getting schooled by a priest he didn’t like, and his hope for the Synod and making sense of the chaos in the Church.

He also shares the powerful conviction that clear teaching is not inherently unwelcoming—and the deeply moving experience of being a priest at his mother’s bedside in her final hours.
