Fr. Sam Kachuba and Matt Sperrazza sit down with Jason Shanks, the president of the National Eucharistic Congress. They discuss his conversion to the Catholic Faith as a young man, his miraculous recovery from Covid-19 (if you are devoted to St. Jude, you want to hear his story!), his conversion to Jesus in the Eucharist, his experience as the president of the National Eucharistic Congress, and his work with Our Sunday Visitor, promoting the idea of an "inefficient innovator"
