Recorded live at Steubenville SOUTH 2026, Kristi sits down with longtime conference leaders Fr. Dave Pivonka, President of Franciscan University of Steubenville, and Catholic speaker Paul George.

Together they reflect on more than thirty years of Steubenville conferences, sharing stories of unexpected friendships, unforgettable moments, and the countless lives transformed by a single encounter with Jesus Christ.

From Fr. Dave's unexpected connection to Louisiana to Paul's reflections on raising a family of faith, this conversation is filled with laughter, wisdom, and encouragement for parents, youth leaders, and anyone wondering if their small "yes" to God can really make a difference.

In this episode:

• Fr. Dave Pivonka's unexpected Louisiana connection
• Why these conferences continue changing lives after 30 years
• Parenting, discipleship, and playing the long game of faith
• The beauty of friendship, vocation, and serving the Church together
• Why your "yes" to God may impact generations you'll never meet

Sometimes the biggest moments of faith begin with one simple decision to trust God—and decades later, the ripple effects are still being felt.
