I’m someone who loves helping people encounter Scripture in a way that feels clear, grounded, and deeply personal. Through Chris Explores the Gospels and Gospel Snacks with Chris, I share short reflections designed to meet listeners right where they are — whether they’re driving to work, walking the dog, or taking a quiet moment to breathe.

My approach is simple: thoughtful reflection, vivid storytelling, and a calm, invitational tone that helps the Gospels feel close and alive. I’m not here to overwhelm anyone with theology. I’m here to walk with people, one short episode at a time, into a deeper relationship with Christ.

My own journey back to the Catholic Church shapes everything I do. After several years away, I returned as an adult and completed RCIA to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. That experience gave me a deep empathy for anyone exploring, questioning, or rediscovering the faith. Today, I teach OCIA at my parish and accompany the Children’s Choir on guitar — two places where I see the beauty of faith lived out in community.

I also serve as a member of Spirit of Truth Radio Arts, a Catholic media apostolate dedicated to evangelization through radio and digital content, and I’m an active member and Spiritual Guide of ACTS CT, a statewide ministry serving men, women, and teens through retreats, community, and a deep commitment to prayer and service.

Across every project, my hope is simple: to offer moments of clarity, encouragement, and encounter — helping others discover the beauty of the Gospel in the midst of everyday life.

Wherever you are on your faith journey, you’re welcome here. If you’d like to explore the Gospels with me, start with the latest episode.

I’ll be praying for you, please pray for me, and may God’s Peace be with you.
Chris

I’m Chris Choma, the creator and host of Chris Explores the Gospels. Here’s a bit of my story.

My Mission

My mission is to make the Gospels accessible to anyone — whether they’re lifelong believers, returning after time away, or simply curious. I want to help people slow down, breathe, and rediscover the presence of God in the ordinary rhythms of life.

How This Podcast Began

This podcast began as a small personal project — a way for me to share the insights, stories, and moments of grace I was discovering in my own prayer and study. Over time, it grew into a ministry. I realized that so many people long for Scripture to feel understandable and alive, but don’t always know where to begin.
So I started recording short reflections, trusting that God would use them to reach whoever needed them. And He has.

Core Values

Clarity — Scripture should be understandable, not intimidating.
Compassion — Everyone is on a unique journey; no one walks alone.
Authenticity — Real stories, real questions, real faith.
Hope — Every episode aims to lift the heart and steady the soul.
Presence — God meets us in the ordinary moments of our day.

Behind the Mic

When I’m not recording, you’ll usually find me outdoors — fly fishing, kayaking, snowshoeing, or hiking with my dogs. Nature has always been a place where I feel close to God. I’m also a husband and father of two adult daughters, whose encouragement and wisdom shape much of my creative work.

Speaking & Parish Events

I’m grateful for every opportunity to share the beauty of the Gospel with parish communities. If your parish is hosting a retreat, mission, formation night, or special event, I’d be honored to serve in whatever way is helpful. My talks blend Scripture, storytelling, and practical spiritual insights, always with the hope of helping people encounter Christ in a fresh and meaningful way.

Here are a few types of events I’m available for:

  • Parish missions

  • Retreats

  • OCIA/RCIA sessions

  • Scripture nights

  • Faith formation gatherings
