Years ago, Lisa Hendey created her beloved multi-volume series Chime Travelers. Today, that vision has expanded beyond the page into a new episodic video series.

In this conversation, Lisa joins Fr. Edward Looney to discuss both formats—who they’re for, how they differ, and how they complement one another. What age group are the books intended for? Who is the video series best suited for? And what inspired the transition from written stories to the screen?

At the heart of Chime Travelers is a powerful premise: helping young people grow in faith by connecting real-life challenges—like bullying—with the inspiring stories of saints such as St. Kateri Tekakwitha.

Fr. Edward also asks Lisa whether this project began as a dream and how it unfolded into something much bigger than she first imagined.

As summer approaches, this is a perfect opportunity for families: start with the books, then continue the journey with the video series available on Formed or Hallow.

Fr. Edward sits down with film producer and entrepreneur Chevonne O'Shaughnessy for a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the movie and television industry. As the force behind ACI On the Go and producer of the new Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries series, Chevonne offers insight into what it takes to bring meaningful, family-friendly stories to the screen.

In this conversation, they explore how Chevonne first entered the film industry, the growing demand for clean and uplifting entertainment, and the trend of adapting popular books into movies and television series. They also discuss why Amish stories continue to resonate so strongly with audiences today.

Chevonne shares what viewers can expect from the Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries series on UPtv and UP Faith & Family, including how to watch the series both on television and through streaming.

Fr. Edward Looney has long admired Vinny Flynn, having first encountered his books many years ago. In this episode, he finally has the opportunity to sit down with him to discuss his latest work, A Year with Divine Mercy.

Vinny begins by sharing how he developed a close relationship with the Marians of the Immaculate Conception and his deep connection to the message of Divine Mercy. The conversation then turns to Pope John Paul II and the powerful truth at the heart of the devotion: that God the Father is “rich in mercy.”

Vinny offers insight into the structure of his new book and encourages listeners to remain attentive to the grace offered each day—meeting God not in the abstract, but in the present moment.

The episode concludes with a profound reflection on the Trinitarian nature of Divine Mercy, inviting us to see it not merely as a private revelation to St. Faustina, but as a mystery deeply rooted in the life of the Church.

Let Vinny Flynn expand your understanding of Divine Mercy—moving beyond the Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska and into the rich, living tradition of the Catholic faith.
