Former U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Rick Santorum joins Conor Gallagher for a deeply personal conversation about fatherhood, politics, suffering, and grace. From the loss of his son Gabriel to raising Bella, a child with Trisomy 18, Santorum shares moving stories of faith, public life, and the power of family. He opens up about presidential campaigns, backlash from the media, his love for Pope John Paul II, and what it really means to follow God’s whispers—even in the chaos of politics. From campaign stops to hospital beds, Santorum describes miracles, suffering, and the unwavering strength of his wife and family.Be sure to Like, Subscribe, or Follow The Conor Gallagher Show on your favorite podcast platform, and visit ConorGallagherShow.com to sign up for exclusive updates and offers.CHAPTERS00:01 Trailer09:21 Transitioning to Personal Insights15:29 Influential Life Lessons and Values20:02 Influential Encounters with Saints25:52 Personal Transformation and Loss33:35 Struggles with Humility and Forgiveness41:00 Experiencing the Patron Saint of Mothers51:47 Navigating Political Challenges Together58:05 Campaign Challenges and Family Crisis1:03:18 A Miraculous Turnaround1:08:34 The Impact of Bella on the Campaign1:12:58 Different Perspectives on Parenting1:18:35 A Promise to Be All In1:22:47 The Blessings of Family Life1:26:24 The Importance of Education Choices1:30:14 Transition to Intelligent Design Discussion1:33:53 The No Child Left Behind Amendment1:37:54 Current Status of Intelligent Design in Education1:42:55 Complications and Emergency Response1:47:33 Mother Teresa's Foreword1:52:03 Lessons from Bella1:57:41 Understanding Divine Providence2:01:48 Unexpected Encounters and Life's Surprises2:08:32 The Viciousness of Political Attacks2:14:41 The Unintended Journey to Running for President2:18:16 The Catholic Vote Dilemma2:22:15 Reflections on Political Life2:28:34 Influences and Ideologies2:32:42 Concerns for Community and Faith2:37:19 An Unexpected Encounter with the Pope2:44:48 The Importance of Family Over Status2:48:28 A Special Invitation to Celebrate#FAITH #FAMILY #POLITICS #TRISOMY18 #CATHOLIC #CONORGALLAGHERSHOW #FATHERHOOD #DISABILITY
