Free Speech & "Cancel Culture" (Dave Rubin) | Ep. 217

In this week&#39;s episode of Catholic ReCon, testimonies from reverts and converts, guest renowned author and scholar Joseph Pearce joins the program. Joseph Pearce, once a militant atheist and extremist, found his worldview shaken by the very writers he admired. In this powerful Catholic testimony, Pearce shares how great literature, reason, and grace led him from hatred to the Church. His story is one of transformation, truth, and the harmony of faith and reason. Watch as he reveals how unexpected encounters with Catholics like G.K. Chesterton and J.R.R. Tolkien challenged his beliefs — and ultimately brought him home to the Catholic Church. ▶jpearce.co #JosephPearceTestimony#CatholicConversion#FaithAndReason#GKChesterton#JRRTolkien#CatholicAuthor#ChristianTestimony#LiteratureAndFaith#CatholicChurch#ConvertStory#ChristianConversion#Catholicism#AtheistToCatholic#LOTR#PowerfulTestimony ▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship▶This is the home of powerful, real-life faith transformations 🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

Joseph Pearce's AMAZING Prison Conversion!

Holy Smokes. Not just an exclamation, but a perfect reaction to an episode where sports, surprises, and the sacred collide. 
In this final 2024 episode of They That Hope, Deacon Bob shares the electric experience of standing in the tunnel as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took the field, while Father Dave recounts something even more awe-inspiring: a private audience with Pope Francis in the Vatican. From the roar of NFL fans to the quiet reverence of the Pope’s library, the hosts explore the breadth of human experience, and the divine grace that fills it. 
They also dive into sky-high sports salaries (looking at you, Juan Soto), the mission of Franciscan University, and the heart of Christmas: Emmanuel, God with us. And yes, there's movie talk, praying cards, and a plea not to sing at Wicked.

From Protestant to Catholic (Lila Rose) | Ep. 232

<h3>Episode Overview</h3>David and Adam welcome Father Mike Schmitz to discuss the transformative power of prayer. With humor and candor, they explore the difference between merely saying prayers and truly praying, addressing how to cultivate a prayer life that aligns with God’s will. Drawing from Saint John Chrysostom and Fr. Thomas Dubay, the conversation emphasizes the universal need for prayer, especially for laypeople navigating the challenges of daily life, and offers practical insights for moving from rote recitation to a deeper, relational encounter with God.<h3>Key Discussion Points</h3><ul><li>Prayer for All Vocations: Fr. Mike Schmitz challenges the assumption that monks have a deeper prayer life, citing Saint John Chrysostom’s teaching that laypeople need prayer and scripture more than monks due to the “arrows and spears” of daily life—annoying bosses, irritating spouses, and bothersome kids. This resonates as a call for everyone to prioritize prayer, regardless of their state in life.</li><li>From Saying to Praying: The hosts and Fr. Mike discuss the transition from reciting set prayers to engaging in mental prayer (e.g., Ignatian prayer, Lectio Divina). Fr. Mike shares a personal story of a silent retreat where a memorized psalm provided words when his own failed, highlighting the value of rote prayers as a foundation for deeper communion.</li><li>Distractions in Prayer: The conversation addresses the common struggle of distractions, distinguishing between intentional distractions (e.g., checking a phone during prayer) and natural ones that God may use to purify prayer. Adam emphasizes the beauty of “wasting time” with God in contemplative presence, akin to an old couple silently enjoying each other’s company, versus being distracted by external devices.</li><li>Why Prayer Matters: Prayer is an act of faith, rooted in the belief that time spent with God transforms us into the person He calls us to be. Fr. Mike compares prayer’s motivation to health practices like intermittent fasting: if you’re convinced it makes a difference, you’ll commit. Prayer changes us to love like Jesus, even when we feel inadequate.</li><li>Overcoming Apathy and Ignorance: Referencing a humorous anecdote about a coach and player discussing “ignorance and apathy,” Fr. Mike stresses that convincing someone to pray requires sparking a desire to become more like Christ. Without an encounter with Jesus (the kerygma), prayer may seem irrelevant to those who don’t yet care to grow in holiness.</li><li>Practical Advice for Laymen: Fr. Thomas Dubay’s blunt wisdom—“If you’re content being a mediocre dad or mom, don’t pray”—underscores that prayer is essential for excellence in any vocation. Fr. Mike encourages introducing children to mental prayer early, as seen in his summer camp where sixth graders learn Lectio Divina and Ignatian prayer.</li></ul> <h3>Featured Gift</h3><ul><li><a href="https://catholicwoodworker.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Catholic Woodworker Rosary</a>: Fr. Mike receives an heirloom-quality rosary from The Catholic Woodworker, featuring handcrafted wood beads built to last. The hosts highlight its durability, even with young children handling it, and promote the official Catholic Man Show rosary.</li></ul> <h3>Spiritual Takeaway</h3>Prayer is not just a checkbox but an act of faith that transforms us into the image of Christ. Whether through memorized prayers that anchor us when words fail or mental prayer that fosters intimate communion, the key is presence with God. Laypeople, facing daily trials, need prayer as much as—if not more than—monks. By committing to prayer, even amidst distractions, we grow in love and align with God’s will for our lives.<h3>Call to Action</h3><ul><li>Get a <a href="https://catholicwoodworker.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Catholic Woodworker</a> Rosary: Visit <a href="https://catholicwoodworker.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">catholicwoodworker.com</a> to purchase an heirloom-quality rosary, including the official Catholic Man Show design, perfect for daily prayer.</li><li>Practice Mental Prayer: Start with Lectio Divina or Ignatian prayer to deepen your prayer life. Set aside time daily, even if brief, to be present with God, trusting that it will transform you.</li></ul>

Fr. Mike Schmitz: From Saying Prayers to Praying - Cultivating a Deeper Prayer Life

In the podcast we’ll learn that:

 - Jesus loves us unconditionally and wants us to be well
 - We should reflect on repeated sins and unroot the causes
 - Jesus offers us a new life, but He will not choose it for us

An Interview with Fr. Donald Calloway | Ep. 329

Leadership has many definitions but all of them have one thing in common:  people have to follow.  Regardless of how good your idea is or how passionate you are about it, if you can’t bring other people along with you, you will not be able to lead successfully.  But effectively sharing your vision and your passion is more than just a natural talent.  It’s a skill that can be studied and harnessed.  And what is more, it is an especial gift that Christ gives to the world through his Christian leaders.

Jesus is crucified and suffers on the Cross. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of Wisdom from the Holy Spirit so he can imitate Jesus Christ from the Cross and forgive others and by building the Virtue of Sacrifice so he can heroically sacrifice himself to build Christ&apos;s Holy Catholic Church.

The Passion of Jesus Christ Bible Study - Part 9 of 11 - Jesus is crucified and suffers on the Cross – Mt 27:35-44

One of the biggest challenges a leader has is the fact that everyone of us is responsible for the decisions that the people under us will make.  How can I help the people that I lead make good decisions?  St. Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologica writes a great deal about making choices.  By following his teaching we can have an insight that will help us to make good decisions.

DGT Episode 133 - Aquinas On Leadership - Helping Your People Make A Decision

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father. Today we hear Jesus, the Messiah, bluntly rebuke and the men of His hometown Nazareth and miraculously thwart their angry attempts to kill Him by throwing Him off a cliff. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to seek the Grace of Christ to grow in the Virtue of Faith so a man always remains faithful and loyal to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Piety so he can seek to imitate the heroic virtue of St. Joseph and seek his intercession in a man’s daily struggles.

Jesus reveals His Divine Identity to the Samaritan woman at the well.

Jesus reveals His Divine Identity to the Samaritan woman at the well - Sunday March 8, 2026 - Jn 4:5-42

You check all the boxes—good job, nice house, family, success—but still wake up asking, "Is this all there is?" You're not alone. 

This week in the pew, John is joined by his longtime friend Bart Schuchts, founder of Church on Fire and ministry leader with the John Paul II Healing Center, for an honest conversation about finding your God-given purpose when life feels like you're just surviving instead of thriving. Drawing from Scripture and raw personal experience, John and Bart explore why so many men are stuck in cycles of despair, working jobs that drain their souls while their hearts scream for something more.

Episode 19 “And Forgive Us Our Trespasses” features Immaculée Ilibagiza as we discuss the Lord’s command to forgive (even our enemies), the impossibility of doing so without God’s grace, and the power of trusting in Divine Mercy.Guest Info:<ul><li>Immaculée Ilibagiza — Immaculée is a survivor of the 1994 Rwandan genocide that took the lives of nearly one million Tutsi men, women, and children, including her entire family except for one of her brothers. She found shelter at a Protestant pastor’s home, where she and seven other women hid from the deadly rebel mob in a 3-by-4-foot bathroom for 91 days. During that time, Immaculée found her faith, taught herself English, and most incredibly, committed herself to a life of peace, hope, and forgiveness, even for those who had murdered her family. She has gone on to work at the United Nations, receive five honorary doctoral degrees, write seven books about her faith and her life journey, and is the recipient of the Mahatma Gandhi International Award for Reconciliation and Peace.</li></ul> Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David HajdukFollow Array of Hope Ministries on:Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ArrayOfHopeMinistries">@arrayofhopeministries</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/arrayofhopeministries/">@arrayofhopeministries</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/AOHMinistries">@aohministries</a>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@arrayofhopeministries">@arrayofhopeministries</a> LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/array-of-hope-ministries/">@arrayofhopeministries</a> YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/arrayofhope">@ArrayofHopeMinistries</a>

Do We Have Supernatural Gifts? | Gilbert Rodriguez | CANDID

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.

EP 165 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Those involved in leadership spend a lot of time talking about leadership in the abstract.  But Christian leadership can’t be spoken of without Christ.  Which begs the question, “How did Jesus lead?”.  While this subject is vast and can be approached from many angles perhaps the easiest way to understanding how Jesus leads is by watching how He actually led and His leadership begins with His choice of His twelve apostles.  Join us in this first of our next series, “Watching Jesus Lead – The Choice Of The Twelve”.

Today Sam and John are joined by a dynamic speaker and expert on the subject of racism, Dcn. Harold Burke-Sivers. We are all aware of the ideological movements involving race in our society today, the Black Lives Matter Movement, Critical Race Theory, and White Privilege to name a few. So how are we as Catholic men supposed to navigate this very delicate and often heated topic? How do we avoid taking a passive, avoidance, or even subservient role on this issue and instead bring love and Christ into the conversation?🔴 All Things Dcn.

5 Habits of a Great Husband and Father

Only 30% of Catholics believe in the True Presence of the Eucharist.&nbsp;
Only 24% of Catholics go to mass every Sunday.&nbsp;
98% of Catholics use contraception.&nbsp;
How many consider themselves pro-choice? How many support cohabitation? How many are regularly viewing porn?&nbsp;
Sadly, this was our "normal" for Catholics before the pandemic. Maybe it's time we really reconsider whether we want to return to normal after all this is over.&nbsp;
Fr. Meyer shares all these stats and more as he and Nathan dissect the issue of the pre-pandemic Catholic apathy and lukewarmness. This episode is a reflection of some sad realities of the past and a hopeful dream session for a brighter future.&nbsp;

Ep 74 | Don't Go Back to Normal: The Ugliness of Pre-Pandemic Catholicism w/ Fr. Jonathan Meyer

As Bishop Barron shows in his new book, <a href= "http://vibrantparadoxes.com" target="_blank">Vibrant Paradoxes</a>, Catholicism is both/and, not either/or. It celebrates the union of contraries—grace and nature, faith and reason, Scripture and tradition, body and soul—in a way that the full energy of each opposing element remains in place.

WOF 022: The Both/And of Catholicism

Deacon Harold gives useful tips on reasons why the Rosary prayer is the most powerful and how you can use it most fully. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 78:56-60

The Power of the Rosary

The Second Vatican Council teaches that "the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time, it is the font from which all her power flows." The Eucharist and the celebration of the sacrifice of the Mass is at the very heart and center of the Christian life. It stands as the pinnacle of the New Covenant established by Christ, and the Eucharist is the source of the unity of the Church.
