Storms have a way of exposing the questions we are often afraid to ask out loud. In this episode, John reflects on grief, suffering, and the moments when life feels like it is taking on water, leading many of us to quietly wonder, “Does God even care?”

If you are walking through adversity, grief, or uncertainty, this episode is a reminder that God is not indifferent to your suffering. He sees you, He is present, and He is leading you to the other side. Stay in the boat.

Men and Women He created them. We know that everything God does is intentional. There is so much beauty in the human mind, body, heart, and soul. Today, Emily Harpole and Nathan Crankfield discuss the wonders of femininity, the many things women can learn from men, and how femininity can help change the world.&nbsp;
For men, it will be extremely insightful into the ways they can better understand and work with the women around them.

EP32 - Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

THE WAY OF THE CROSS
Episode 6 Message of Hope, The Eleventh and Twelfth Stations

In this sixth episode, Jon Leonetti breaks down the Eleventh and Twelfth Stations of the Cross. Jon helps us enter into the minds of the disciples at the time of the Crucifixion as he reflects on the theme of "The Messiah's End."

1. God's vision of victory was to die on the Cross. What does victory or winning look like in your life? Can victory come out of loss?

2. Jon Leonetti breaks down the privilege of Roman citizenship. Are you able to avoid persecution because of your background or relationships? How can you use your position of power to help others?

3. John was the only disciple brave enough to be present at Jesus' death. Have you been hesitant to be a witness of Jesus Christ for others because you were afraid of what others would think? How can you be a better witness of Christ?


THE MESSIAH'S END: ELEVENTH & TWELFTH STATIONS

“Return to me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning; rend your hearts and not your garments.” Deacon Harold shares how we are "marked for change" more thoughts as we head into Ash Wednesday and the Lenten Season and also looking at Soulful Psalm

EP 69 Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - Purgatory - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

It is time to stop fighting like amateurs and start waging spiritual war like soldiers. In this powerful episode of The Manly Catholic, James sits down with Dr. Dan Schneider, a frequent flier (no pun intended) combat veteran, theologian, and co-author of <a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/spiritual-warfare-q-and-a-for-priests-and-laity/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Spiritual Warfare and Q&amp;A for the Priest and Laity</a> to expose the real strategies of the enemy and the ancient weapons every man must wield to defend his home, his wife, and his children.You’ll learn:<ul><li>How prayer, fasting, and vigils are the “ancient weapons” that defeat an ancient enemy.</li><li>The true difference between power and authority</li><li>How to protect your home</li><li>Why humility and obedience are the most dangerous weapons against the devil.</li><li>How Mary, the Queen of Heaven and the Destroyer of All Heresies, terrifies demons by her very presence.</li></ul>Dr. Dan’s message is clear: you are the spiritual head of your household, and the enemy knows it. Stop acting like a passive observer while your family is under attack. Take up your weapons. Impose order. Fast. Pray. Consecrate your home. Engage the battle.The Challenge: This week, every Catholic man must bless his home, pray a perimeter prayer before bed, and consecrate his family to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Order begins when the man takes his rightful place as protector and provider.References:<ul><li><a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/spiritual-warfare-q-and-a-for-priests-and-laity/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Spiritual Warfare &amp; Q&amp;A for the Priest and Laity </a>by Dr. Dan Schneider and Jesse Romero</li><li><a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/the-liber-christo-method-a-field-manual-for-spiritual-combat/?revpage=2%20&amp;gc_id=10316277314&amp;h_ad_id=730848595836&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=10316277314&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADyykAxTlTMyi9OL5XjxL41Viootp&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwsPzHBhDCARIsALlWNG3LCF6josS0KgekUUx4_oVWQKsCGaeqa3vCIlLZNDGXcgbjN5B75yEaAqBTEALw_wcB" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Liber Christo Method </a> by Dr. Dan Schneider</li><li><a href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/true-devotion-to-mary-with-preparation-for-total-consecration/?srsltid=AfmBOoq9VCLWUCLwHp6pc9g6cRssSdpv0dmsdebqCm73nhJ-pqDlPIoj" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">True Devotion to Mary</a> by St. Louis de Montfort</li><li><a href="https://ignatius.com/to-raise-the-fallen-trtfp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">To Raise the </a></li></ul><a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

What we wished we learned in marriage prep | Emily Crankfield | Ep 263

In this episode, Dr. Deborah Savage of Franciscan University joins the conversation to unpack the "war on men," the masculine genius, and the deeper spiritual battle being waged against the human person. Drawing from St. John Paul II, Aquinas, and her own scholarship, she explores the unique gifts of men and women, the meaning of complementarity, and why fathers play a vital role in conferring identity. The discussion tackles hard truths about suicide rates, cultural blind spots, and misplaced anger, while also pointing to the beauty of God's design for man and woman. Listeners are invited to recover a deeper appreciation of our differences, not as a struggle for power, but as the foundation of authentic human flourishing.

To Love is to Give Oneself w/ Gus Lloyd

Today is a special edition of Beacon of Truth as we bring you Deacon Harold LIVE from the Deeper into the Psalms from the Ignite Bible Tour. He travels most of the year speaking and this conference he's challenging us to build a LEGACY.

LEGACY

He went from playing Little League baseball to 25-plus years of men's league softball to playing into his 50s with two years of vintage baseball. Meanwhile, he had also played Pop Warner football and then continued in the sport in high school and college, including being the placekicker on the undefeated 1977 team that is enshrined in the Iona College Sports Hall of Fame. He also spent a combined total of 15 seasons coaching high school and college football. He has been a columnist for Sports Collectors Digest magazine since 1993, specializing in Baseball Ballpark History. He is currently co-authoring his first nonfiction book, about the 1970s Oakland A's baseball team, to be published in 2025. And, having written other books, he says that his adult baseball novel "The Rovers: A Tale of Fenway" has the most overtly religious themes.

In this podcast, Dr Phil Chavez speaks again about what it is to be a Beloved Son in connection with the Liturgy. God desires that one gain grounding in their identity as well as their main duty in life. In this case, it is to embrace oneself as a Beloved Son, and thereafter offer worship God, particularly in the Mass. 

The secular world rejects an identity that is objective, and holds that everything is malleable and changeable. Dr. Chavez explains that the grounding of oneself as a Beloved Son is a good means by which to face a liquid society. To maintain grounding in one’s identity, and the primal duty of worship helps anyone looking for solid objectivity in the present age. Learn points as to how this becomes practical through a life of prayer and other means.

A Beloved Son Is Well Grounded | The Beloved Son 008

Sacred artist and stained-glass master Aaron Frei joins Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein for a wide-ranging conversation that blends theology, art, discernment, and plenty of classic BeatiDudes banter. Aaron shares his journey from studying theology at the University of Dallas to discerning monastic life with the Hungarian Cistercians, and ultimately returning to serve the Church through sacred art.
The conversation explores why stained glass is uniquely powerful as an art form, relying on transmitted light rather than reflected light, and how imperfection allows beauty to shine more fully. Aaron offers rich spiritual metaphors drawn from his craft, connecting brokenness, reconciliation, and God’s grace with the way light passes through glass.
Aaron also opens up about leaving the monastery, wrestling honestly with the desire for family life, and discovering that discernment is not failure but fidelity. His story includes mentoring young artists, helping churches articulate sacred beauty, and even meeting his wife through a mosaic project that never came to be, proving that God still works through cancelled plans.
The episode wraps with humor, call-backs, and a challenge to listeners to be digital missionaries who do not stop at content but go to Mass, pray, and encounter Christ in the poor.
Key Themes and Takeaways
*Why stained glass depends on transmitted light and why imperfection increases beauty
*Discernment as dating rather than a one-time irreversible decision
*Learning holiness from community life, not just intellectual brilliance
*How God uses brokenness to let His light shine more clearly
*Sacred art as service to the Church, not personal expression alone

Logan O’Brien, Passing Game Coordinator for the Southlake Carroll Dragons, shares the highs and lows of high school football coaching with The BeatiDudes.Logan grew up playing football in San Angelo, Texas. As a junior, he helped his team snap a 21-game losing streak that season. After eight straight losses to start the year, they won the season's final two games. Logan then led the Bobcats to the first of nine straight playoff berths his senior season in 2010, including the program's first playoff win since 2006.After high school, Logan played for Eastern New Mexico University, scoring a critical touchdown to win the coveted Wagon Wheel trophy against West Texas A&amp;M. Logan met his future wife, Taylor, at Quarterback Ranch, where he made his first flirting attempt in front of her dad and brother by asking, “Can I take your trash?” Although that might not have been the winning line, the courting continued, and the couple married in 2022. Taylor founded Candid Dating, a virtual speed dating platform for Catholics looking to skip the swipe and get some face time.As a coach, Logan focuses on a potential player’s competitiveness, effort, and toughness, both physical and mental. In addition to coaching football in the fall and track in the spring, Logan also teaches Environmental Systems. Join Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, Jeff Schiefelbein, and Logan O’Brien as they imagine an improv conversation leading into the upcoming season.

The Devil Hates a Healthy Home Life | Part 22 | Lent 2024

EP 152 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Scripture speaks throughout of marriage and its 'mystery,' its institution and the meaning God has given it, its origin and its end, its various realizations throughout the history of salvation, the difficulties arising from sin and its renewal 'in the Lord' in the New Covenant of Christ and the Church. We wrap up Marriage Week talking about The Biblical Foundations of Matrimony and Soulful Psalm 25:8-16

The Biblical Foundations of Matrimony Pt 4

In order to reveal himself to men, in the condescension of his goodness God speaks to them in human words: "Indeed the words of God, expressed in the words of men, are in every way like human language, just as the Word of the eternal Father, when he took on himself the flesh of human weakness, became like men."  Deacon Harold helps us explore ways to better understand God's word. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 136.

Understanding the Bible

C.S. Lewis wrote more than 30 books which have collectively sold over 100 million copies, including the Chronicles of Narnia series, Mere Christianity, and The Screwtape Letters. But of those thirty books, there was only one which Lewis described himself as "almost my favorite among my books," yet he was disappointed that "in general [the book] has been almost totally ignored by the public." The book was his prophetic text titled The Abolition of Man. It's an important book but one that many readers find dense and challenging. Thankfully, Michael Ward, one of the world's leading C.S. Lewis scholars, has stepped in to help. His groundbreaking new book titled <a href="https://wordonfire.org/humanity">After Humanity: A Guide to C.S. Lewis's 'The Abolition of Man</a> was just published by Word on Fire Academic. Today, Brandon Vogt sits down with Michael to discuss Lewis' original text and how Michael's new guide and commentary help readers make sense of Lewis's argument.

WOF 303: Which of C.S. Lewis's Books Was His Favorite?

In establishing the Church, the Lord established everything that makes that Church to be what it is.  The institution of the Sacraments by Christ is seen as a direct consequence of the institution of the Church by Christ. So, it’s not so much a direct action on one occasion by Jesus, so much as the whole action of the institution or establishment of the Church; that's what's come from Him, and then as that Church started establishing patterns or ritual behavior for itself, that is Christ instituting those Sacraments, but in an indirect fashion.  It is in this sense that we find Confirmation in the New Testament.  Talking more on this today along with Soulful Psalm 144

Sacraments: Confirmation

Ep 182 - Cold Showers and Holy Hours: Exodus 90 with Dr. Jared Staudt

Today, Deacon Harold breaks down the CONGREGATION FOR DIVINE WORSHIP AND THE DISCIPLINE OF THE SACRAMENT and how we can put them into practice in our faith. Also, looking into the Soulful Psalms with Psalm 92.

Liturgical Practice

The power of the Holy Spirit is with us. Today we are diving into the weekend as Deacon Harold breaks down The Holy Spirit and Divine Revelation in the Old Testiment. Also looking into more into Soulful Psalm 107.

The Holy Spirit and Divine Revelation

Holy Scripture, brethren, cries out to us, saying, "Everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted" (Luke 14:11). Today Deacon Harold talks about what it means to have true humility and the 3 degrees of humility. Also, in the Soulful Psalms he looks into Psalm 119.

Humility

Our Lord says, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.”  Humility doesn’t mean having low self-esteem, or being overly pious or holy because true humility isn’t about us.  Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less. Deacon Harold looks at Mark 9:30-37 to talk about humility as well as Soulful Psalm 39.

Deacon Harold opens up more about this Saint today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm119:KOPH, 149

Ep. 10 - Your Greatest Spiritual Weapon

We see throughout our nation and in the world the flat-out rejection of Truth rooted in God’s love, which alone brings freedom and peace. In so many ways our society, instead of responding to God’s love with loving obedience, pursues sinful and selfish desires that enslave us in a culture of violence and death. This is why our Blessed Mother appears to us. Deacon Harold expands on this today as well as Soulful Psalm 33

Our Lady

Is 'The Catholic Man' and endangered species? Unlike any other endangered species, The Catholic Man is destroying himself by giving in to the evils of the current culture. 
In this presentation, Deacon Harold explains that, by 'Putting on the Armour of God', described by St Paul in Ephesians 6, we can combat the influence of the culture and be the men God created and calls each one be.

Putting On The Armour of God | Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers

Most men today fear losing their reputation. St. Flavian feared nothing but losing the truth. In this episode, we dive deep into the life of a 5th-century warrior for the faith, a man who stood firm when the Church was under siege by heresy. As the Patriarch of Constantinople, St. Flavian refused to compromise, excommunicating a heretic monk despite immense political pressure. The cost? Betrayal, brutal beatings, and ultimately, martyrdom.His story isn’t just history—it’s a battle cry for men today. Are you willing to stand for truth, even when the world turns against you? In this episode, we break down:<ul><li>The dangerous heresy St. Flavian fought against and why it still matters today.</li><li>How his brutal death led to one of the Church’s most important teachings.</li><li>Three powerful lessons you can apply to your own spiritual battles right now.</li></ul>This is a must-listen if you’re serious about growing in faith and courage. Hit play and step into the fight.Three Powerful Quotes from the Episode:<ol><li>“Heresies will come and go, but the truth entrusted to the Church by Christ endures.”</li><li>“Flavian’s unwavering commitment to Christ’s truth is a challenge to all of us. Fidelity to Christ requires courage, even when it leads to suffering.”</li><li>“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:10)</li></ol>Key Takeaway for Men:Know your faith, stand firm, and be willing to suffer for it. St. Flavian’s story reminds us that truth is worth fighting for. Today, commit to learning one essential teaching of the Church—especially regarding Christ’s identity—so you can defend it when the time comes.Now go out there and be a saint!Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Sanctifying Saints - St. Flavian: The Martyr Who Defended Christ’s True Nature

EP 144 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Much has been said today about the need for leaders to be strong.  But usually, the way we look at strength is in models that aren’t necessarily successful in every kind of struggle.  One hidden kind of strength is the strength that Our Lord and Saint Joseph showed us, resiliency.

DGT Episode 5 - Joseph The Resilient - St. Joseph Part 4

Ash Wednesday is here, and with it, the challenge to reclaim your soul for Christ. In this episode, we dive into the heart of Lent—what it truly means to fast, pray, and give alms as warriors of Christ, not as comfortable, lukewarm Christians. This is not just a season of self-denial; it is a battle against the three enemies of your soul: the world, the flesh, and the devil.Are you ready to fight? In this episode, I lay out a direct challenge for you: push yourself this Lent. If you've been soft, if you've let your passions control you, if you've allowed distractions to steal your time with God, then it's time to declare war on your heart.This isn't about doing Lent halfway. This is about transformation. It's about walking into Easter as a new man, purified, disciplined, and ready to lead.Powerful Quotes:<ol><li>“You don’t rend your heart to the world, the flesh, or to Satan. You rend it to Christ alone.”</li><li>“The Christians of old were made of granite. Have we grown soft? Lent is the time to prove otherwise.”</li><li>“Fasting is not just about giving something up—it’s about making war on what keeps you from God.”</li></ol>Pick something hard: something that actually challenges you, and give it up for Lent. If alcohol is a struggle, give it up. If you waste hours in a YouTube vortex, shut it down. Rend your heart to Christ and let Him do the work of cleansing you. This is not about checking a box. It’s about preparing your soul for eternity.This is your call to arms. Lent is not a season to endure—it’s a season to rise. Will you take the challenge?Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

How Jesus Set Her Free – Amanda Azeredo’s Testimony of Addiction and Redemption

This hunger for learning exhibited by my children reawakened my own curiosity about what they were learning, especially with regard to nursery rhymes.  The origin of one rhyme in particular, the hokey pokey, not only surprised me, but raised questions in my mind about the state of Eucharistic faith and devotion in the Church today. Deacon Harold explains more today for Word of God Wednesday. Also looking at Soulful Psalm 106:1-5

Elizabeth, a Catholic author, speaker, and ministry leader from Ashburn, Virginia, with over thirty years of experience in faith formation, founded the Journey of the Beloved ministry to guide others towards healing and claiming their identity as beloved children of God, a mission born from her own transformative journey after decades of struggling with the effects of divorce, death, and abuse; her healing, catalyzed by the loss of her son, John Paul Raphael, led her to write the award-winning memoir, "Let Yourself Be Loved," and to develop workshops, coaching, and Sacred Story groups aimed at helping individuals move from heartache to healing through Christ. Also we look into Soulful Psalm 90:16-17

CSR 10 Pat McCaskey

Many Catholics don’t realize that the Bible as we know it today was compiled by the Catholic Church under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. For the first 400 years of Christianity, believers didn’t have personal copies of Scripture. Instead, they learned the faith through oral tradition and the teaching authority of the Church. This is why sola scriptura—the idea that Scripture alone is all we need—is false. We need Sacred Tradition and the Church’s authority to rightly interpret the Word of God. Without these, confusion and division take hold.Fr. Dom also emphasized that reading Scripture should not be passive—it should stir our souls. When the Jewish people in Nehemiah’s time heard the Word of God proclaimed, they stood in reverence, recognizing its holiness. That’s why we stand when the Gospel is read at Mass! Scripture is meant to pierce our hearts and set them on fire. If we aren’t being changed by what we read, we need to ask ourselves: Are we truly engaging with it?3 Takeaways for Men to Put into Action Today:<ol><li>Make Scripture a Daily Habit – Even if you start with just five minutes a day, open your Bible and read. Use the 14-book guide from St. Augustine to help you see the bigger picture of salvation history.</li><li>Learn the Church’s Role in Preserving the Bible – Knowing that the Church safeguarded and compiled Scripture strengthens your ability to defend the faith and grow in confidence as a Catholic man.</li><li>Live the Word, Don’t Just Read It – Choose one verse that speaks to you and put it into practice today. If Scripture isn’t transforming your life, it’s time to start taking it seriously.</li></ol>3 Memorable Quotes from Fr. Dom’s Homily:<ol><li>"When I found your words, I devoured them. Your words were my joy, the happiness of my heart, because I bear your name, Lord God of hosts." – Jeremiah 15:16</li><li>"Sacred Scripture is not just some book written by human beings… it cuts through flesh, bone, and marrow into the soul. It convicts us. It transforms us."</li><li>"You cannot remove the Church from the Bible. It was the Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, that safeguarded and compiled the very Scriptures we hold today."</li></ol>Support The Manly Catholic Podcast!If this episode strengthened your faith, don’t keep it to yourself—share it with another man who needs to hear it.

In this week&#39;s episode of Catholic ReCon, testimonies from reverts and converts, guest Jesús Canchola Sánchez describes how he was caught in a web of darkness—addiction, sin, and despair linked to unthinkable trauma. But his Catholic abuela never stopped praying for him! With a Rosary in hand and faith in her heart, she waged war against the forces trying to destroy him. This moving testimony reveals the quiet power of a grandmother’s intercession… and how love, prayer, and perseverance can rescue lost souls. ▶Escape from Natura Meta: https://a.co/d/7cQEd5L▶Site: https://www.jesuscancholasanchez.com#Catholic #Testimony #Addiction #Charity #Chastity #Video #Author #MiracleStory #Conversion #Prayer #Rosary #Actor▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

Satan Had Him… But His Catholic Grandmother Fought Back

Most men today are overworked, overstimulated, and spiritually malnourished. We chase productivity but neglect silence. We build muscle but forget the soul. In this powerful continuation of our conversation from part 1, we cut through the noise and get back to the basics of what it means to live as a Catholic warrior. Fr. Dom shares hard truths about what men must reclaim if we’re going to lead our families and defend the Faith. From the forgotten power of fasting and retreats to the reality of priestly warfare and spiritual combat, this episode calls every man to rise and take his place in the ranks of Christ’s army.We talk about everything from cold plunges and physical discipline to the beauty and meaning of the Latin Mass vestments, the sacredness of the priesthood, and why knowledge of the liturgy can reignite your love for the Eucharist. Fr. Dom also opens up about his athletic past, his experiences in triathlons and endurance racing, and how physical discipline shapes spiritual virtue.And perhaps most powerfully, he breaks down the priest’s calling with raw honesty: what it costs, what it demands, and why true priesthood is a battlefield. Every man, husband, father, or priest, is called to be a warrior for souls.You’ll hear:<ul><li>Why men must take at least one silent retreat every year.</li><li>How fasting, prayer, and physical struggle forge spiritual discipline.</li><li>The danger of spiritual laziness among priests and laity alike.</li><li>What it really means to discern the priesthood as a man of God.</li><li>Why we must pray and fast for our priests more than ever.</li></ul>The Church doesn’t need passive men. She needs holy warriors.CHALLENGE: Find time this month to enter into silence with God. Unplug completely. No phone. No distractions. Just Scripture, a journal, and prayer. Let Him speak. And then—fast and pray for your parish priest this week.PRODUCTS / REFERENCES MENTIONED:<ul><li>Exodus 90 (ascetic men’s program)</li><li>FSSP (Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter)</li><li>Calvary (2014 film, starring Brendan Gleeson)</li></ul>3 POWERFUL QUOTES:<ol><li>“If you want to fight in a supernatural battle, to be a warrior for Christ, you need to know that you will die.

Ep 169 - Silence, Strength, and Sacrifice: The Call of a Catholic Warrior

Today we share the latest episode in our "Bishop Barron Presents" series, featuring editor and author Sohrab Ahmari. Bishop Barron sits down to discuss Sohrab's new book, <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Unbroken-Thread-Discovering-Wisdom-Tradition/dp/0593137175/?tag=woonfi-20"> The Unbroken Thread: Discovering the Wisdom of Tradition in an Age of Chaos</a>.

WOF 290: Bishop Barron Presents: Sohrab Ahmari

The battle for souls continues to rage on. We are losing people by the minute. We are under constant attack by evil through our culture, academia, politics, ideologies, and hate. We constantly hear messages (in our extremely mental health conscious culture) that we need to take breaks and rest. We need to prioritize down time.&nbsp;
Rest is necessary, but so is action. We need to be challenged. We need to push ourselves to utilize our gifts to build the Church. This fight is not going to be easy, and passivity won't help us regain lost ground.&nbsp;

Ep 120 - The Art of the Pilgrim Warrior with Fr. McTeigue

Today Deacon Harold starts our discussion on Advent Spirituality and Soulful Psalm 107:31-34

Advent Spirituality, Part One

Today Deacon Harold looks into the Sunday Mass readings for the 28th Sunday in OT, Year C for Word of God Wednesday. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 136:19-23

28th Sunday in OT, Year C

Jesus boldly proclaimed, "I am the way, the truth, and the life". In order to be His disciple, one must make Jesus Christ the foundation of life and proclaim His Lordship in every area of life. Much like the rose window in Chartres Cathedral, a well ordered soul revolves around the great center, which is Christ. In this episode, Bishop Robert Barron begins a series called The Eight Principles of the Word on Fire Ethos with this key principle, namely, "Christocentrism". Bishop explains how we go about making Christ the priority of our lives, and why we must know who Jesus is in order to do so. The listener questions asks why the Sacred Heart of Jesus is so important in Christian devotion. Topics Discussed <ul> <li>0:17 - Introduction, Bishop's recent trip to Mundelein Seminary.</li> <li>2:00 - What is Christocentrism?</li> <li>5:53 - Is it possible to be too obsessed with Jesus?</li> <li>7:20 - Why is it important not to domesticate the real Jesus?</li> <li>8:45 - How should we read the difficult truths Jesus spoke?</li> <li>10:45 - How do we make Jesus the center of our lives?</li> <li>15:22 - Question from listener: Why is the Sacred Heart of Jesus is so important in Christian devotion?</li> </ul> Bonus Resources <ul> <li>Videos <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/how-jesus-is-the-messiah/134/"> How Jesus is the Messiah</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/andrew-sullivans-non-threatening-jesus/236/"> Andrew Sullivan's Non-Threatening Jesus</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/john-dominic-crossans-strange-jesus/176/"> John Dominic Crossan's Strange Jesus</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>DVD's <ul> <li><a href= "http://pivotalplayers.wordonfire.org/">CATHOLICISM: The Pivotal Players</a> (Word on Fire)</li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/dvd/catholicism-series/1036/"> CATHOLICISM series</a> (Word On Fire)</li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/dvd/faith-clips/4421/">Faith Clips</a> (Word On Fire)</li> </ul> </li> <li> Articles <ul> <li>"<a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/why-it-matters-who-jesus-is/5412/">Why It Matters Who Jesus Is</a>" (Bishop Barron)</li> <li>"<a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/why-jesus-is-god-a-response-to-bart-ehrman/481/">Why Jesus is God</a>" (Bishop Barron)</li> <li>"<a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/the-disturbing-fact-of-the-resurrection/5119/">The Disturbing Fact of the Resurrection</a>" (Bishop Barron)</li> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/your-life-does-not-belong-to-you/4924/"> "Your Life Does Not Belong to You"</a> (Bishop Barron)</li> </ul> </li> <li>Books <ul> <li><a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/book/the-priority-of-christ-toward-a-postliberal-catholicism/2366/"> The Priority of Christ</a> by Bishop Barron</li> <li><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Incarnate-Lord-Thomistic-Christology-Ressourcement/dp/0813227453/?tag=woonfi-20"> The Incarnate Lord</a> by Fr.

WOF 073: Making Christ the Center of Your Life

EP 124 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Men, day 32 of our Lenten journey with St. Joseph is here, and it’s a powerful one. As Holy Week nears, this episode dives into why St. Joseph, a humble layman, strikes terror into the devil’s heart. I’m reading straight from Father Calloway’s Consecration to St. Joseph, sharing the gripping story of Blessed Bartolo Longo, a former satanic priest turned Dominican who found redemption through St. Joseph’s intercession. From occult darkness to building the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary in Pompeii, his life proves St. Joseph’s title: Terror of Demons.  Here’s your challenge, men: reflect on St. Joseph’s virtues and ask, How can I make the devil fear me? Focus on one area to improve today. Want to protect your family and lead them to heaven? Become an apparition of St. Joseph. His fatherhood is our model; his power, our weapon. As we head into Holy Week, let’s step up and make demons flee.  Hit play for a reflection that’ll strengthen your resolve. Subscribe on Buzzsprout, YouTube, or wherever you listen, and email us at themanlycatholic@gmail.com with your thoughts. Tomorrow, we keep pushing to be saints.  Products/References Mentioned:  <ul><li>Consecration to St. Joseph by Father Donald Calloway  </li><li>Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, Pompeii  </li><li>Blessed Bartolo Longo’s book of meditations and prayers to St. Joseph</li></ul>Powerful Quotes:  <ol><li>“The fatherhood of Saint Joseph terrorizes the devil. The humility of Saint Joseph terrorizes the devil. The charity of Saint Joseph terrorizes the devil.”  </li><li>“Pronounced often and with great confidence the name of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Their names bring peace, love, health, blessings… and a terror to demons.”  </li><li>“If a man allows himself to be an apparition of St. Joseph, imitating the virtues of St. Joseph, Satan becomes powerless in his attacks against the family.”</li></ol>Key Takeaway: Pray to St. Joseph daily, invoking his name with confidence, to protect your family and grow in the fatherhood that terrifies Satan. Start today—consistency is your strength.  <a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Day 32 - Becoming the Man Demons Fear

DGT Episode 23 - The Integrated Life - The Spirituality Of Work Part 4

#Godsquad #heroicmen #brotherhood
In this engaging conversation, Fr. James Mallon discusses his journey as a parish priest in Nova Scotia, emphasizing the urgent need for parish renewal and the formation of disciples. He reflects on the challenges facing the modern church, including the alarming statistics regarding the beliefs of self-identified Catholics. The discussion also touches on the importance of St. Joseph in the faith and concludes with a light-hearted exchange about whiskey and cooking.
takeaways
<ul>
 <li>Fr. James is passionate about parish renewal for evangelization.</li>
 <li>Revitalization of the parish is a pressing task for the church.</li>
 <li>Viability of a parish is not the only measure of success.</li>
 <li>Many Catholics identify as such without understanding core beliefs.</li>
 <li>The Eucharist is often misunderstood among self-identified Catholics.</li>
 <li>St. Joseph serves as a model of humility and obedience.</li>
 <li>Culinary skills can foster community and friendship.</li>
 <li>Whiskey tasting can be an art form, much like faith.</li>
 <li>The importance of personal faith in the life of a disciple.</li>
 <li>Discipleship involves both formation and evangelization.</li>
</ul>

Seamus Coughlin DESTROYS the Gender Wars | Last Call Ep. 14

In this episode of the Word on Fire Show we hear one of the world's great theologians unpack one of the richest texts in all of ancient scripture.

WOF 058: David Dancing Before the Ark (Part 2 of 2)

Friends, our culture is obsessed with self-determination: finding our own voice, setting our own agenda, doing things according to our own lights. But is this problematic? And what does the Bible have to say about self-determination? On today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," Brandon Vogt and I discuss how, in the Christian tradition, heroes are never those who "find themselves," but rather those who heed the voice of God and remain obedient to the mission that God has given them. A listener asks, how do you possibly balance a passion for baseball with your faith life?

Friends, the Liturgy of the Hours is the highest form of prayer after the Mass. It is an ancient, structured way of praying Scripture throughout the day, focusing especially on the Psalms. In today's episode of the "Word on Fire Show," Brandon Vogt and I discuss why this prayer is so powerful and how to get started with it. We also introduce <a href="https://wordonfire.org/pray">a new resource from Word on Fire</a> that makes it easier to pray these sacred prayers. A listener asks, is there much point to praying anything other than the Lord's will?

She ran for the University of Colorado | Colorado Springs, competing in cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track. Prior to that she was a school record holder in the 4x400m relay and earned several honors, including - among many others - being named Poway High School Athlete of the Year, and was a five-time state meet qualifier. Today, she still stays involved through a running club, continues to race on the roads, and, most recently, ran a full marathon for the charity organization St. Jude. Her story, however, includes medical challenges, and, in part, led to her today being a foot and ankle doctor and surgeon at a Catholic hospital in Indianapolis, including treating athletes.

WOF 108: Lead with Beauty

In this fun-filled episode, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome back Michael Greene, the “grandpa” from Grandma and Grandpa Camp and now officially dubbed the James Bond of Grandparents. Today’s conversation flows around powerful “God moments”, those surprising, providential times when the Lord shows up in unexpected ways.
Michael shares stories of houses that fell through (thankfully, thanks to termites and a title dispute), and how God sometimes needs to hit us with a 2x4 to get our attention. Michael unpacks how prayer and forgiveness have shaped his family through decades of life and marriage with his wife, Rosemary.
Together, the BeatiDudes and Michael explore when they feel closest to God, whether in early morning prayer, praying over a child during nightmares, or writing prayers directly into emails instead of just promising them.

Happy Accidents & Holy Encounters | Michael Greene | Episode #258

Raffaele D’Apolito joins the BeatiDudes for arguably the most wheels-off episode of Season 6. 
Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein welcome an energetic Italian guest straight from Rome, turning the Tiny Table into a cultural exchange that somehow includes pronunciation coaching, a debate over what counts as “Italian” food in America, and a running gag that peaks when Olive Garden becomes the unofficial villain of the day. Beneath the comedy, Raffaele shares what brought him to the U.S., how a pilgrimage to Rome connected him with American friends and business opportunities, and why he believes most AI projects fail when companies chase tools without first fixing the underlying processes.
Raffaele also talks about his return to the faith after a season of drifting, describing how a surprisingly simple thought sparked a deeper reversion that led him back to confession, the Eucharist, and a growing love for the Traditional Latin Mass. He talks candidly about the role patience has played in his life, how he learned to stop forcing his own timeline, and how discerning relationships with clarity and peace matters more than rushing toward an outcome. By the end, he shares his vision to rebuild his company on stronger Catholic foundations and eventually establish roots in the U.S., inviting anyone interested in process-driven AI work to connect with him on LinkedIn as he builds “Cornerstone.”

From Vatican to Vatican Valley | Raffaele D’Apolito | Episode #283

Friends, the New Atheism movement rose quickly in the early 2000s, led by vicious critics of religion such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. What made their polemics so popular and effective? And how did the New Atheist movement decline and fade almost as quickly over the past few years? That's what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today's "Word on Fire Show" episode, with the help of an excellent new book by Justin Brierley titled <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Surprising-Rebirth-Belief-God-Christianity/dp/1496466772/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "The Surprising Rebirth of Belief In God: Why New Atheism Grew Old and Secular Thinkers Are Considering Christianity Again - opens in new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">The Surprising Rebirth of Belief In God: Why New Atheism Grew Old and Secular Thinkers Are Considering Christianity Again</a>.

In this chapter, we will turn our attention to the bountiful evidence that supports this claim. We will begin with evidence from outside the Bible, and then turn to the evidence we can find from the Gospels and the rest of the New Testament.In this episode you will learn that ...■ A preponderance of evidence exists both in Scripture, specifically the Gospels, and in non-scriptural sources that support Jesus’ claim to be divine.■ The preaching of the Apostolic Church is remarkably consistent in its central claims about Jesus contained in the kerygmas.■ The New Testament accounts of Jesus’ life are trustworthy and persuasive.■ Most scholars conclude from the evidence that something happened to Jesus’ body after His death that is attributable to a supernatural cause.■ Accounts of near-death experiences correlate with certain details of Jesus’ Resurrection.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

Ep 112 - Battling Satan with Our Lady of Sorrows with Patrick O'Hearn

Why do so many teenagers, after they are Confirmed, leave your house to go off to college, promptly stop going to Mass and end up leaving the Catholic faith?  Deacon Harold goes more into our Life in Christ today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 18:8-11

4th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

This week on Living the Call, Deacon Charlie sits down with Jason Simon: husband, father of six and President of The Evangelical Catholic. After briefly working in engineering, Jason served as a parish Director of Religious Education and Youth Ministry. There, he saw the power of evangelization and his passion to see more lives impacted by the Holy Spirit.&nbsp;In this episode, Deacon talks with Jason about his work at The Evangelical Catholic. Under Jason’s leadership, The Evangelical Catholic equips Catholics not only to be disciples, but vibrant witnesses and disciple-makers in the world: sent out to bear fruit for the Kingdom through the life-changing love of Jesus.&nbsp;

About the Topic:
“And when you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure  their faces that their fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father whose in secret will reward you.” Matthew 6:16-18
Jesus says “when you fast” not “if you fast”. He expected us to fast. But we should not fast out of dieting or pride, but out of love of God. 
Fasting improves us spiritually in several ways (from <a href="https://jimmyakin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy Akin</a>):

<ol class="ol1">
 	<li class="li1">We express our recognition that spiritual things are more important than physical things.</li>
 	<li class="li1">We learn to deny ourselves pleasures, even in spite of pain. (Increase in fortitude)</li>
 	<li class="li1">We declare that we recognize the need to reform and to get closer to God.</li>
 	<li class="li1">We willingly embrace the hunger fasting produces as a sign of being willing to shoulder the burdens of others (Col. 1:24 - “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is Lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the Church…”). What is lacking: Christ’s sufferings were, of course, sufficient for our redemption, but all of us may add ours to his, in order that the fruits of his redemption be applied to the souls of men. </li>
 	<li class="li1">We express humility before God by adopting a humble posture, recognizing our dependence on him and affirming our submissiveness to his will.</li>
</ol> 
4 classes of penitents who committed major sins (idolatry, murder, abortion, adultery) in the ancient formal penitential discipline:

<ol class="ol1">
 	<li class="li1">Weepers - Not allowed in the church but stayed outside and asked those going in to pray for them.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Hearers - Stood inside the church doors and heard the liturgy of the word but were dismissed before the liturgy of the Eucharist.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Kneelers - knelt or lay down in church and participated with the Church in specific prayers for them before being blessed by the bishop and dismissed prior to the Eucharist. </li>
 	<li class="li1">Standers - sat in the congregation and stayed for the liturgy of the Eucharist but did not receive Communion.</li>
</ol> 
5 Tips when Fasting:

<ol class="ol1">
 	<li class="li1">Have a specific intention for your suffering. Visualize the person you are praying for or the grace you are asking God to give you.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Set a schedule. Scheduling how your day will look helps avoid moments of inactivity. Helps to go to sleep on time and get up early.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Increase the amount of water you drink per day.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Take multi-vitamins. When you fast you will become deficient in some vitamins your body is used to having.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Don’t complain. No one should know you are fasting.</li>
</ol> 
Canon Law on Feast Days: 
Can. 1246 §1. Sunday, on which by apostolic tradition the paschal mystery is celebrated, must be observed in the universal Church as the primordial holy day of obligation. The following days must also be observed: the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Epiphany, the Ascension, the Body and Blood of Christ, Holy Mary the Mother of God, her Immaculate Conception, her Assumption, Saint Joseph, Saint Peter and Saint Paul the Apostles, and All Saints.
Canon Law on Days of Penance: 
Can. 1251 Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the Episcopal Conference, is to be observed on all Fridays, unless a solemnity should fall on a Friday. Abstinence and fasting are to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
Can. 1252 The law of abstinence binds those who have completed their fourteenth year. The law of fasting binds those who have attained their majority, until the beginning of their sixtieth year. Pastors of souls and parents are to ensure that even those who by reason of their age are not bound by the law of fasting and abstinence, are taught the true meaning of penance.
Can. 1253 The conference of bishops can determine more precisely the observance of fast and abstinence as well as substitute other forms of penance, especially works of charity and exercises of piety, in whole or in part, for abstinence and fast.

<blockquote>Hey men,

Let me ask you: in the past 90 days, how often did you eat a little too much, drink a little too much, or spend too much time in the office?

How many times did you ignore your wife, children, or friends just to thumb through social media, watch Netflix, YouTube, or a game?

So many men today are distracted. They’re dependent on the comforts of this world, making them incapable of even knowing they aren’t free to say no to those things. Guys, we were made for more than this.

If you desire freedom from those attachments — Freedom to be a better husband, a better father, and a better man for others — I invite you to check out <a href="http://exodus90.com/?utm_source=catholicmanshow&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=exodus90-2022&amp;utm_content=catholicmanshow-email-1">Exodus 90</a></blockquote>
</div>
<div>

Exodus 90 is a ninety-day program that gets us back to the fundamentals of the faith: prayer, self-denial, and fraternity. It starts on January 17th and ends on Easter Sunday.More than 50,000 men from around the world — Catholics, Christians, even folks that don’t align with any Christian faith —  have done this. Of these men, 99% report experiencing greater freedom.

We have been blessed to work with many great ministries serving marriage and family and The Catholic Man Show is one of them!  David Niles and Adam Minihan, along with their wives Pamela and Haylee have written a great book for Catholic families called Living Beyond Sunday; Making Your Home a Holy Place  and we were thrilled to talk to them about it on this podcast.  David and Pamela joined us for this interview in which we talk about the book, but also about how they started out as a family, why they wrote this book, and how it can help other families in their walk with Christ.  Just like our work at MFP, this book is full of truth, but also very practical and real. Listen in to be encouraged and inspired!

Christine Lacayo | Sustainable Catholicism (Best of)

You have influence, but do you have direction? In this 10-part masterclass, Bill Moyer walks men through what the Bible teaches about Christian leadership: character, dependence on God, integrity, values, vision, communication, humility, relationships, small acts of faithfulness, and mentoring.&nbsp;This is leadership that begins deeper than skill, title, or success, because a man can build something impressive and still lose sight of what matters most.
Through practical teaching, reflection questions, and action steps,&nbsp;Led to Lead helps future leaders examine their hearts, strengthen their influence, and serve the people God has entrusted to them.&nbsp;The journey is from influence to direction, from self to service, and from success to significance.

Led to Lead: What the Bible Teaches About Christian Leadership

Most Catholic men were sacramentalized but never catechized. They went through the motions and walked away without ever being handed a vision for what their faith was supposed to look like inside their home. Mike DiCosola knows that story from the inside. He lived it.James sits down in person with Mike DiCosola, Executive Director of Paradisus Dei for one of the most practical and honest conversations about Catholic family life you will hear.Mike walks through how That Man Is You started twenty-five years ago in a single Houston parish and now runs in over 1,200 parishes worldwide. He explains why the content is almost secondary — the real fruit always comes from the small group, around the table, when men stop talking about other people and start talking about themselves.He breaks down Missionaries to the Family, a one-year formation program built on the Catechism and the Spirit of Nazareth, and what it actually looks like to make your home the domestic church it was always meant to be.Powerful Quotes:"Wherever you are in the spiritual life, Jesus Christ wants to encounter you right there and take you further. He's not asking you to be a canonized saint tomorrow. He's asking you to take one step.""A lone soldier is an easy target. That is what the Evil One wants — to isolate us so he can come at us when we have no defense.""The goal is generational change of the culture. If the only thing that survived were families gathered together to help one another live, love, and grow in faith — then we will have been a successful endeavor."📚 References &amp; Resources Mentioned:<ul><li>Paradisus Dei — <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://paradisusdei.org/" target="_blank">https://paradisusdei.org/</a></li><li>That Man Is You — <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://paradisusdei.org/that-man-is-you/" target="_blank">https://paradisusdei.org/that-man-is-you/</a></li><li>She Shall Be Called Woman — <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://paradisusdei.org/she/" target="_blank">https://paradisusdei.org/she/</a></li><li>Missionaries to the Family — <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://paradisusdei.org/missionaries-to-the-family/" target="_blank">https://paradisusdei.org/missionaries-to-the-family/</a></li><li>Mysteries of the Rosary series — free at <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://paradisusdei.org/mysteries-of-the-rosary/" target="_blank">https://paradisusdei.org/mysteries-of-the-rosary/</a></li></ul>Thank you for your prayers and support!Consider supporting the podcast on our <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" target="_blank">Buy Me a Coffee</a> page to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!Subscribe to our <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxrRLZNk4WqPdgcac5vuWEQ" target="_blank">YouTube</a> pageCheck out our <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.themanlycatholic.com/" target="_blank">website</a>Shop our <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://the-manly-catholic-store.checkoutstores.com/" target="_blank">merch store</a>Get delicious coffee from <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/" target="_blank">Mystic Monk Coffee</a>Download <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanbooks.com/tan-digital-app/" target="_blank">TAN Digital</a> to access the incredible TAN Library!
