Hollywood, Jung, and Healing: Tim Moriar...

Chris Stefanick | Real Life Catholic
About this episode

Guys, I am so excited to share my conversation with Tim Moriarty with you! Tim is an actor who has been featured in House of Cards, Blue Bloods, and more. He was raised Catholic, studying under Peter Kreeft at Boston College, and even entered seminary! He eventually left the seminary and subsequently went through an intense time of spiritual dryness.

Tim began studying Carl Jung, which set him on a search for truth. He began working as an actor and found success in Hollywood. Eventually, Tim's search landed him right back where he started—the Catholic Church.

He now makes films that showcase the beauty of Christianity and tell the story of our Faith. Tim’s most recent film, Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist premiered in theaters this past summer: https://jesusthirstsfilm.com/

We chat about how he worked through his wounds, Jordan Peterson’s connection to Carl Jung, and how tough but rewarding it is when you realize that you’re not in control, but God is. I can’t wait to dive in!

What Faith IS, What Faith ISN'T, and How to Grow in Faith
“If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains.” But you can't have faith unless you know what it IS. And even a great mind like Jordan Peterson seems to be missing something in his definition. Faith can't be reduced to a moralistic view of obeying the rule ... Show More
