A Reason for Hope
Faith, Mental Health & the Power of Redemptive Suffering

Struggling with mental health or depression can feel overwhelming—but in the light of faith, even our deepest wounds can be transformed. In this episode of the A Reason for Hope podcast, Catholic psychiatrist Dr. Aaron Kheriaty shares powerful insights on how prayer, meditation, and embracing redemptive suffering can lead to profound healing and lasting hope.

We’ll explore:

  • The connection between prayer, Catholic spirituality, and emotional well-being
  • How to find meaning in suffering and allow God to transform it
  • What it means to avoid “sanitizing the cross” in modern Christian life
  • Practical steps to truly embrace the crucified Christ every day
  • How to meditate on Christ’s Passion in daily prayer and especially during the Mass
  • Why our culture struggles with the concept of redemptive suffering
  • How to confront the hidden battles of spiritual warfare with faith and courage


If you’ve been searching for encouragement and practical steps to grow closer to God through your trials, this conversation will inspire you to see your cross not as a burden, but as a bridge to grace.

How Death Gave This Man New Life | Paul Zucarelli

On today’s episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Mario Costabile talks with Paul Zucarelli, author of Faith Understood: An Ordinary Man's Journey to the Presence of God. Paul shares his extraordinary near-death experience testimony after suffering eight cardiac arrests in two days. He discusses the power of intercessory prayer, trusting God in moments of doubt, and how this profound encounter with God shaped his faith journey and gave his life a new mission: to evangelize His Truth.


In this interview, we cover:

• What was your life like before the cardiac arrests?

• Can you walk us through the moments you experienced NDE after eight arrest episodes?

• What did you see or feel when you “went to the heavenly realm”?

• How did intercessory prayer, especially on Pentecost, factor into your recovery?

• How has your relationship with the Catholic Church deepened through this?

• What impact did Bishop Olmsted’s prayers have on your healing?

• What was the single most transformative moment during those two hours?

• How did this near-death experience reshape your faith and purpose?

• Why did you choose “Faith Understood” as the title?

• What practical advice would you give Catholics encountering suffering or doubt?

A Reason for Hope
What did Jesus REALLY say about Hell?

In this episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Dr. David Hajduk welcomes Monsignor Charles Pope, author of The Hell There Is, to discuss the often-overlooked Catholic teaching on Hell. They explore why the Catholic doctrine of eternal damnation matters for the Catholic faith today, and how the Church teaching on Hell is essential for understanding salvation, which was purchased for us by Jesus Christ. Monsignor shares insights from his ministry and writing, offering a challenging yet hopeful message for Catholic evangelization and Catholic hope.


We talk about the fear of the Lord, Catholic morality, and the “last things”—death, judgment, heaven, and hell—and how recovering this teaching can renew Catholic culture and help us engage in spiritual warfare with courage. Monsignor Pope reminds us that judgment is not meant to paralyze us with fear, but to call us to deeper faith and trust in God’s mercy, leading us to the joy of Heaven.

Understanding the Relationship Between Faith and Mental Health

Catholic psychologist Dr. Gregory Bottaro joins A Reason for Hope Podcast to explore why much of secular mental health care is falling short and how integrating faith and psychology offers a more complete path to healing. He shares his journey of discerning a religious vocation with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, his mentorship under Fr. Benedict Groeschel, and the deep spiritual wisdom behind Abandonment to Divine Providence. We discuss how faith can transform psychological practices, the impact of sin on mental health, and how the CatholicPsych Institute’s Mentorship model, launched just before the pandemic, is reshaping the landscape of Catholic therapy. Dr. Bottaro also explains the unique approach of Catholic Mindfulness compared to Eastern practices, highlights the saints who have inspired his work, and gives a preview of the upcoming CatholicPsych Institute Summit.

Is Praying the Rosary Optional for A Catholic?

In this episode, Dr. David Hajduk gives his take on why, in order to be a faithful Christian, you must have a devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, offering a wealth of Biblical evidence. He also tackles the question of whether praying the Rosary can be considered "optional" for Catholics, once one considers the history of this prayer, its importance to Mary herself, and the teachings about Saints and Popes about it.

Lastly, he reflects on what all of this means regarding the possibility of salvation for those outside the Catholic Church.

The Truth About the Devil

In this episode, Dr. David Hajduk gives his take on whether the Devil is a personal reality, a fallen angel stirring up rebellion, menacing the world, and tempting human beings to fall and lose their souls, or just a symbol for evil or division in the world, which some Biblical scholars have proposed. The answer becomes clear once one reflects on the Church's constant teaching about angels and demons, Jesus' own engagement with the Devil and the demonic in His public ministry, and the experiences of modern-day exorcists.
