Catholic Media Without the Filter.

Philip Setters is a Catholic convert from Methodism with a penchant for community engagement and host of Bourbon & Bibles on Warriors for Life Media.

A central Kentucky native with deep Appalachian roots, Philip was raised in the Methodist tradition before a thirst for the Eucharist led him on a journey of faith, questioning, struggle, and conversion that ultimately brought him to the Catholic Church.

His path to Catholicism unfolded through real-life challenges, prayer, scripture, the witness of other converts, and an encounter with the sacramental life of the Church.

With a diverse occupational background that spans from operating forklifts to clinical management, he has cut tobacco, milked cows, stacked concrete, and administered complex heterogeneous IT stacks. In his spare time, he has been involved in a wide variety of activities in the community, as a former youth baseball and football coach, twenty years as an active board member for the Lincoln Days Celebration, Inc. festival, and the production of over sixty-five parades. He is the public address announcer for the local high school’s football, marching band, and track & field programs. On “the side,” he has been a fill-in radio host for high school football, basketball, and coach’s show broadcasts.

Though he never served in the military, Philip spent nearly twenty years coordinating public and media engagement opportunities for the U.S. Navy’s namesake submarine community outreach efforts, serving as a primary local liaison for USS Louisville (SSN 724) and USS Kentucky (SSBN 737). In addition to planning and conducting tours throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky for visiting sailors of all ranks, he led delegations of Kentuckians across the country, from Hawaii to Washington, New England, Georgia, and Florida. This labor of love introduced him to a broad spectrum of society and diverse groups of people, from service members of all ranks to schools, universities, businesses, veterans organizations, government leaders, children’s hospitals and the largest one-day air show in the world. In addition to the submarines, Philip worked along a variety of other units, such as the Blue Angels, Navy Parachute Team, the Kentucky National Guard, and a variety of active duty and reserve units from all the services.

In his home parish, Philip is actively involved as an assistant catechist with the Order of Christian Initiation of Aduluts (OCIA) program and as a religious education (RE) assistant instructor for second- and third-graders (First Communion). He also serves on the vocations committee and volunteers with the parish hunger relief ministry.

That combination of professional experience, Southern hospitality, and lived Catholic faith is at the heart of Bourbon & Bibles.

For Philip, “Bourbon” represents his Kentucky roots, hospitality, fellowship, and the idea of gathering around a table for conversations that matter. The show creates that table for Catholics, Methodists and other Protestants, converts, fallen-away Catholics, and anyone sincerely searching for truth.

Philip doesn't approach the microphone as someone claiming to have every answer. He comes to the table as an everyday Catholic who knows what it means to wrestle with faith, experience conversion, endure difficult seasons, and continue learning what it means to follow Jesus Christ and His Church.

Through Bourbon & Bibles, Philip invites viewers to pull up a chair, open the Bible, ask difficult questions, and encounter a Catholic faith lived beyond Sunday morning.

Fr. Stephen Imbarrato is a retired Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, a nationally recognized Catholic abolitionist, and a longtime leader in the fight to end abortion.

Ordained to the priesthood in 2005, Fr. Stephen's commitment to defending the preborn is deeply personal. As a young man, he was involved in an abortion decision—an experience that later became a powerful part of his conversion, healing, and vocation.

While still a seminarian, he became one of the first men to publicly share his post-abortion testimony through the Silent No More Awareness Campaign.

Fr. Stephen founded Project Defending Life in New Mexico and has spent decades bringing the Catholic faith directly into the battle for life through prayer, sidewalk ministry, Eucharistic processions, public witness, preaching, and peaceful pro-life activism.

He has worked extensively with Priests for Life, appeared on EWTN, and travelled across the United States calling Catholics to defend the most vulnerable.

At the heart of his ministry today is Catholic abolitionism: the conviction that every human being is a person from the moment of conception and that the preborn deserve equal protection under the law.

As co-host of The Holy Reckoning on Warriors for Life Media, Fr. Stephen brings decades of priestly ministry, pro-life activism, personal testimony, and fearless Catholic witness to the table.

Alongside Eric Tafoya and Elizabeth Sutcliffe, he confronts difficult questions facing the Church and culture through Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the authentic teaching of the Catholic Church.

Jared White is a Canadian pro-life leader, elected school board trustee, political advocate, and communicator committed to defending human dignity and bringing faith, reason, and principled leadership into the public square.

Jared has worked at the intersection of the pro-life movement, politics, education, and culture. His experience includes work with Advokate Life & Education Services and RightNow, where he was directly involved in the political side of the pro-life movement, engaging Canadians in the democratic process and working to advance pro-life representation in Canadian politics.

Jared also serves as an elected school board trustee in Abbotsford, British Columbia. His work in public education has given him firsthand experience with the political and cultural issues affecting Canadian families, including parental rights, education policy, religious freedom, and the role of faith and values in the public square.

More recently, Jared became involved with Burnaby Pro-Life Society, now Stand Strong Canada, where he serves as Executive Director. He is helping lead the organization into its next chapter with a renewed focus on pro-life education, advocacy, community engagement, and building a stronger public voice for life.

As host of The Jared White Show on Warriors for Life Media, Jared brings these experiences together. Drawing from his background in politics, education, advocacy, and the pro-life movement, he goes beyond the headlines to examine the ideas, policies, and institutions shaping Canadian culture.

Jared isn't afraid to ask difficult questions, challenge conventional thinking, or explore what it means for Christians to live their convictions publicly.

At the heart of his work is a simple conviction: truth belongs in the public square, every human life has value, and Christians have a responsibility to stand for both.
