Dr. Craycraft Named the New Host of ‘Driving Home the Faith’
01.05.26
Dr. Kenneth Craycraft, the James J. Gardner Family Chair of Moral Theology and Professor of Moral Theology at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary & School of Theology, has been named the new host of ‘Driving Home the Faith’ on Sacred Heart Catholic Radio, which can be listened to via 740 AM and 910 AM in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and surrounding areas and online through its website. Dr. Craycraft will officially begin his tenure as host on Monday, January 19 and will air weekdays from 4-6 p.m. going forward.
He takes over hosting duties from the late Fr. Rob Jack, a priest for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and long-time member of MTSM’s priest faculty, who passed away unexpectedly at the end of October (read about Fr. Rob here).
“It is an honor to follow in the footsteps of Fr. Rob,” Dr. Craycraft said. “He was beloved in the Archdiocese and had many devoted admirers. I cannot replicate his show, but I hope to carry on and advance his legacy.”
Dr. Craycraft has been a member of the MTSM faculty since 2016, starting as an adjunct lecturer and moving up in rank until achieving the rank of full professor in 2024. Since 2020, he has held the James J. Gardner Family Chair of Moral Theology at the Seminary. His teachings focus on Catholic social teaching and the intersection of politics and religion. In 2024, Dr. Craycraft published his second book Citizens Yet Strangers: Living Authentically Catholic in a Divided America.
Many listeners to Sacred Heart Catholic Radio will recognize Dr. Craycraft, who was a frequent guest on both ‘Driving Home the Faith’ in the afternoons and the ‘Son Rise Morning Show’ which airs from 6-9 a.m. on weekdays.
In addition, Dr. Craycraft writes a monthly syndicated column for Our Sunday Visitor and columns for The Catholic Telegraph, The Catholic Herald and many other journals, magazines and publications.
“As host of the show, my approach will be to broaden the scope of the show, to not limit ourselves to only talking about Catholic things, but rather to talk about all things with a Catholic voice,” Dr. Craycraft said. “The Incarnation teaches us there is not sharp distinction between ‘secular’ and ‘sacred’, we will attempt to highlight the true, the good and the beautiful through the mystery of the Incarnation.”
