Young people aren’t rejecting faith—they’re hungry for something real. In this @FoxNews @ Night segment with @TraceGallagher, I spoke about the 2025 Conclave alongside Jonathan Morris. We discussed the election of the new pope and spiritual awakening, which ties directly into my

January 6 is traditionally associated with Epiphany, a moment of recognition, but also of discernment. In the historical telling, the Magi (often called the Three Wise Men or Kings) are not passive recipients of truth. They observe. They question. And crucially, they choose what

Chapter 2 of The Sacred Order shifts the story into a different register. The mystery is no longer unfolding in the open streets of Rome. It moves behind walls, into places where history isn’t discovered, but held. Institutions like the Vatican don’t exist to explain the past.

January 4 marks the Epiphany on the Catholic calendar, traditionally associated with revelation: the moment a sign is finally understood. That idea is woven directly into The Sacred Order. At one point early in the mystery, a sealed cylinder is opened and everyone expects a

In Chapter 1 of The Sacred Order, a single detail flashes into view: “Via di Tor Bella Monaca.” To most people, it’s just a street name. In a thriller, it’s a breadcrumb. That’s the world I’m building all year in 2026—turning the novel into a visual canvas made of real places,

January 1 on the Catholic calendar is the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God; a title that has shaped centuries of art, music, architecture, and history. Even if you approach it purely from a cultural lens, it’s a fascinating starting point for the year: the story of the West’s

Jonathan Davis is no ordinary narrator. He’s voiced Star Wars, Genghis Khan, and now… a Vatican thriller, "The Sacred Order", that blends history, faith, and a centuries-old secret. His voice is the Order.

As the Conclave begins today, all eyes turn to the Sistine Chapel beneath Michelangelo’s Last Judgment. What happens behind the smoke and ceremony? The Sacred Order is a gripping Vatican thriller that dares to reveal the hidden story behind papal succession—rooted in the

This image captures the quiet strength of a cardinal bearing the weight of history. But what if history isn't what it seems? In The Sacred Order, one man’s election may not just fulfill tradition—but prophecy. #TheSacredOrder #Conclave2025 #VaticanThriller #CardinalDolan
