On today’s podcast, I'm joined by Deacon Jeff Drzycimski to talk about those times when we feel bogged down in our daily routines. It’s like we’re checking off the to-do list and wondering where God is in all of this.

In this episode, we learn that:
 - When we get bogged down in a bunch of tasks, we’re depriving ourselves of joy.
 - Looking at each daily task to determine how we are using it to glorify God restores that joy.
 - If a task does not bring glory to God, we should ask ourselves why we’re doing it.

The Grind

Daily decisions have eternal ramifications…. Don't claim ignorance. This week Victor and John talk about the long-term effects of our current daily choices. We often seek what is best the most enjoyable for our temporal life, without discerning what is best for our souls. Complacency could quietly be the death of us because we often choose the easy way instead of investing in service. 

In this week’s episode John and Victor discuss: 
- The rich young man dining SCRUMPTIOUSLY
- Sins of Commission vs. Sins of Omission
- One drop of His blood… is it enough? 
- The importance of an Examen.

The Choices We Make Matter

Serving others is a bit of a paradox.  To some it is an exaggerated title of glory, to others it is the worst of things – being demoted in the eyes of others.  What does it mean to serve as a Christian?  How did our Lord serve us?  If we understand how Christ served us we can find the dignity in serving others.

DGT Episode 70 - Christ's Mission, Our Mission Part 4 - Came To Serve

In this episode you’ll learn that placing hope in Jesus:

 - Keeps us from feeling discouragement and believing we aren’t good enough
 - Produces a longing to know God better
 - Helps us realize we can’t manufacture our own happiness.

Bonus: Fr. Timothy Gallagher on discerning God's will

This story is said to represent Jesus’ unconditional love for us that we should also have for each other. Some Christians would say that, since we are all sinners, no matter what a loved one does we should embrace his every action with acceptance and joy. Anything less than that—for example, the rejection of an immoral “alternative” lifestyle choice—is viewed as a rejection of the whole person. Such rejection is then described as “intolerance” and “hate.” Deacon Harold expands today's topic and also looks at Soulful Psalm 44:10-17

Tolerance

What does the Catholic Church actually teach about same-sex attraction? In today’s culture, this topic is often misunderstood, misrepresented, or avoided altogether. In this powerful and honest conversation, Host Dr. David Hajduk sits down with Catholic speaker Kim Zember as she shares her personal journey—from experiencing same-sex attraction and living a double life, to encountering Jesus Christ and rediscovering her true identity as a beloved daughter of God. This episode goes beyond headlines and stereotypes to explore:<ul><li>The difference between same-sex attraction and identity</li><li>What the Catholic Church really teaches (and why)</li><li>How to live with both truth and authentic love</li><li>The cultural pressures facing young people today</li><li>Practical guidance for parents and grandparents walking with children navigating questions about sexuality</li></ul> Whether you’re personally experiencing same-sex attraction, supporting a loved one, or simply seeking clarity on Catholic teaching, this conversation offers hope, truth, and compassion.

Catholic Church Teaching on Same-Sex Attraction | Love The Sinner, Hate The Sin

Reflection: Joseph's trials&mdash;poverty, flight, loss&mdash;built his endurance. Fortitude strengthens resolve against fear, even unto death for a just cause. It is essential for Christian men facing worldly pressures. Daily Challenge: Endure a personal trial (e.g., fasting from a habit) and offer it for the Church's renewal. Prayer: St. Joseph, man of endurance, fortify me to stand firm in trials.

Fans taking sports too seriously. Parents being WAY too involved in their son or daughter's sports. Superstitions that fans carry out. Sports betting. Hear about these and other issues from a professional and spiritual perspective via the Clinical Psychologist at Saint Paul VI Institute in Omaha, Nebraska, where part of her work includes meeting with priests, religious, and lay men & women who are seeking faith-based counseling. With a sports background herself, she also works with seminarians attending the Institute for Priestly Formation and conducts psychological evaluations for individuals interested in entering seminary, the deaconate, or religious communities. She is a member of both the Catholic Psychotherapy Association and the Catholic Medical Association.

Most men trying to break free from pornography have already tried something and it didn't stick. That's not a character flaw. There is a missing framework.In this episode, I speak with Joe Masek and Nick Redd, co-founders of The Freedom Group, two men who spent a combined 23+ years in the grip of pornography before finding lasting freedom and then built a proven system to guarantee it for other men in a year or less. This is one of the most important conversations I've had on this show.Joe and Nick break down exactly why most programs fail: they either go all-spiritual or all-physical and ignore what the science and the faith both agree on — you are a whole person. And you need a whole-person approach.We get into the neuroscience of addiction, why craving isn't about lust — it's about emotional dysregulation, the danger of identity-labeling ("once an addict, always an addict"), and why Joe believes learning to fight through hard things is what prepared him to watch his son battle brain cancer without crashing.Resources &amp; References Mentioned:<ul><li>The Freedom Group — <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://thefreedomgroup.co" target="_blank">thefreedomgroup.co</a> (Freedom Groups, Freedom Community, Kingmakers Community)</li><li>Free Porn Use Assessment — <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://thefreedomgroup.co" target="_blank">thefreedomgroup.co</a></li><li>Dan Allender — The Wounded Heart, story work and kingdom framework</li><li>Death by Comfort — book on the comfort crisis (referenced by Nick)</li></ul>3 Powerful Quotes:<ol><li>"Pornography has a way of taking a guy out at his knees from ever believing he could achieve anything. So he stops believing and settles into the rut, just trying to manage and get by."</li><li>"The opposite of addiction isn't sobriety. The opposite of addiction is communion."</li><li>"Communion is the greatest spiritual warfare. The enemy wants to divide — us from God, from ourselves, from each other, from creation. And righteous living? That's the biggest conviction of my life. The warfare I can participate in is holiness."</li></ol>Key Takeaway:Stop treating your struggles as purely spiritual or purely physical. Pick one thing in each category and stack them: fast today and bring it to prayer. Cold plunge and offer it up. Get sleep and go to confession this week. God made you body and soul — start fighting on both fronts, daily, one willing step at a time.Thank you for your prayers and support!Consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" target="_blank">https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc</a>) to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!Subscribe to our YouTube page: (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxrRLZNk4WqPdgcac5vuWEQ" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxrRLZNk4WqPdgcac5vuWEQ</a>)Check out our website (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.themanlycatholic.com" target="_blank">www.themanlycatholic.com</a>)Get delicious coffee from Mystic Monk CoffeeDownload TAN Digital to access the incredible TAN Library!

Ep 197 - The War You Cannot Lose: Breaking Free from Porn for Good with The Freedom Group

Is personal sin greater than God’s forgiveness? Jesus' actions include his ministry, passion, and death. His actions also include miracles; extraordinary signs of mercy, love, and compassion which show and express the presence of the Kingdom of God. Today, Deacon Harold looks into how to find our faith after we fall.

Faith after the Fall

Reflection: Joseph's fidelity to Mary upheld marital justice. Heroic love perseveres in trials. Daily Challenge: Affirm a loved one with words of encouragement and truth. Prayer: St. Joseph, just spouse, strengthen my bonds of fidelity.
